[i]. . . What have I done? How could I have not seen this all along. We were blinded by the desperation of our quest. If we would have just stopped and thought about it for a moment. I am only thankful that my death will give me salvation of the guilt that would had surely killed me. All of these lives that will be lost. Even as I write this I feel my strength failing me. That damned ring, took with it much more than my innocence. It stole my soul.... All of those souls that tried to tempt fate. Sauron forged the ring so that when it was willingly destroyed, it would release the latent effects in the other rings. Like a key to unlock hidden powers. So confident was he, that upon the rings destruction it revealed to me his plan. Why rule with one ring, when you can rule through 3 kingdoms with 19? If you are reading this I implore you, the rings MUST be destroyed.[/i] Frodo closed the book and ran his hand intimately over the cover. He knew what was coming and very soon. As a last act, he called in his aid. Tomas, please see to it this book is delivered to Galadriel. She will know what to do with it. Frodo went and laid in his bed, taking his final breaths. He did everything possible to absolve some of his guilt. He knew he was to blame for this, but what else could he do? He closed his eyes, and let his last breath escape hoping he still had some sort of soul to save. Tomas rushed with his errand. He treated it like it was life and death, because of the look in his master Frodo's eyes. Soon, he found lady Galadriel and handed her the journal that Frodo had entrusted him with. She retired to her bed chambers and started reading over it, and when she got to the final page with Frodo's warning, she grinned. She spun the ring on her finger as she stared into the fire of her hearth. The fire formed into an eyeball and her smile widened. This will be set a couple milennia in the future. The RP will be after the rings of power have been lost in lore and time and will slowly be uncovered with each ring's power being discovered. The group can either try to destroy them and save Middle Earth, or use them for their own nefarious purposes. I will be implementing a Will type stat, it is your characters resistance over the rings. I will be needing a few Co-GMs or a solid Co-GM as I do have real life priorities at time. We will use PMs to discuss plot twists for nefarious acts so as to keep them revealed from the group. My goal is to have a companionship, but will it be all true hearted people? Or will they destroy themselves? Also, going to divide the rp into chapters, because not all the rings will be uncovered right away.
