The Blackwolds were a group of Men invented solely for The Lord of the Rings Online. The Blackwolds were bandits who wanted to gain control of the villages of Archet and Combe, and were secretly financed by agents of Angmar. They had a secret cave hideout as well as a stronghold in nearby Chetwood. Players in LotRO can fight them in the game as a Man, an Elf, a Dwarf or a Hobbit.
