Athelas is a free, unofficial launcher for my four personally statically recompiled Lord of the Rings games, so you can play your own copies on a modern PC from one place.
• The Return of the King (PC, 2003), through ROTK Fix: widescreen, high frame rates, controllers, co-op
• The Return of the King, The Two Towers, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Third Age (Xbox), as native PC ports
Features: FSR, DLSS and XeSS upscaling, save backups, mods and texture packs, 11 languages, Steam Deck support.
No game files are included. You need your own copy of each game (the PC game installed, or your own US Xbox discs as .iso files). Not affiliated with or endorsed by EA, New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. or the Tolkien Estate.
Made by Shagg, with Claude (Anthropic).
