What are Accomplishments? Well, in the broader sense of things, they are quests that just kind of sit in the world background, keeping track of all kinds of things that you do as you go about your virtual lives in Middle-earth.

Unlike quests, Accomplishments aren't particularly directed. There isn't some NPC telling you to complete them as quickly as possible, lest the dark forces overwhelm you all - they just kind of happen in the course of your day to day business trudging through dark orc-pits and scaling mountains that in any more realistic setting would result in some very unpleasant frostbite debuff effects - particularly for those ridiculously unshod Hobbit runts.
