GameInformer has just released their fourth piece of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor coverage. The article talks about Shadow of Mordor's place in Tolkien's Legendarium, and about what's happening in Middle-earth around the time of Shadow of Mordor.
Take note though, as the article contains spoilers for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, so if you haven't seen the movies or read the books yet, be warned!
