The Bright Lord is the second expansion released for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
You're playing again as the Bright Lord, the Silver Hand Celebrimbor in the map of Udun, the first map introduced within the main game.
While the Lord of the Hunt was taking place after the events of the main game, this time, you're going into the past. At the time when Celebrimbor stole the Ring of Power from the Dark Lord Sauron and decided to use the power of the Ring to take control of Uruks and defeat Sauron once for all.
Your objective in this short journey is to brand all five warchiefs and to upgrade the power of the Ring by completing a set of small side quests and of course, to defeat Sauron.
Also this time, you're not given all skills and runes you've achieved in the main game, since you are no longer playing as Talion. The main difference you'll notice is that there is no slow-motion while aiming with bow and arrows, but the shots are automatically already charged.
The final boss fight is far better than in the one main game, making completing this DLC a satisfying experience.
All in all, a short, but still impactful story, which in my opinion can be described as a prequel to the main story. It also gives us a deeper knowlegde of what Celebrimbor was and what is the meaning of the towers, which were built all around Mordor.

I thought this DLC was pretty fun. I liked the story of it as well as the characters involved. The gameplay was kind of fun but got kind of annoying.
I AM THE TRUE LORD OF THE RINGS
that final fight was such a clusterfuck with how powerful the warchiefs are tho. dunno if their traits are randomized here, but motherfuckers were oneshotting me, setting me on fire, and poisoning me nonstop. made it a bit of a mess to brand enough to charge the one ring to win.
still tho, pretty nice and changes up gameplay enough
