You interested two people in your recent check, I reckon if you bumped it, you could get a third. That's already a good size crew for Middle Earth. Here's my opinion:

Maybe you could shorten the OOC notes a little bit. I really liked this paragraph,

This story is a tapestry of contrasts. You will experience the Slice of Life: the quiet hum of a tavern at dusk, the haggling in the markets of Staddle, and the warmth of a shared pipe by the hearth, interwoven with the harsh, visceral reality of a world under siege. Combat in this age is dangerous and decisive; when the shadows move, they do not offer fair fights, and survival will demand more than just a sharp blade or a strong arm, it will demand your wits.

I think I would have moved this paragraph to the top, just under the first paragraph then compressed the rest of what you wrote into a simplified third.

I didn't like this sentence, "This is a tale of transition: a slow, inexorable shift from the quiet, predictable warmth of the hearth to the harsh, unforgiving reality of the wild." I know what you want to portray, like the realistic drudgery of life but it read to me a bit sluggish or not fun.

Overall, your enthusiasm reads immediately, you seem to have a clear vibe for the story.
