The peace that has permeated the lands of Middle-Earth for an age is nearing it's end. A force of wicked men and their orcish mercenaries, goaded on by some dark force unknown, have taken the newly rebuilt Gondorian city of Minas Ithil, sacking the beautiful city and renaming it Minas Morgul once again. Refugees who escaped the city, though few, spread word of a terrible darkness which drowned out the light of the city, and of an army of spiders who scaled the walls and weakened the defenses. In response to this assault, Eldarion, high king of Gondor and Arnor, has sent word to the leaders of the free peoples, calling emissaries from each race to respond to this new threat.

Riders bearing missives from the High King of Men were sent to the Sylvan Elves of Eryn Lasgalen, The Dwarves of Khazad-Dum, and even the Hobbits of The Shire, for never again was their worth to be underestimated. The missives called for a representative of each race to Appear before the king in Minas Tirith and hold council, in the same way Elrond of old held council for the fate of the One Ring, to decide how best to combat this powerful and mysterious new threat.

It is at this council that our story will begin. Whether your character is the Emissary of your people, or a guard of said emissary, or even a bookkeeper or chronicler is left up to you, but for whatever reason, you find yourself in the company of the new Council of The Wise in the throne room of Minas Tirith, discussing what is to be done about this newest of threats to Middle-Earth.

The Free People












I'll be editing and adding to this as we go along, I just wanted to get it up, seeing as how I promised and all.

EDIT: Also, here's a Discord channel so we can keep in touch, and more easily discuss character concepts and collaborate for worldbuilding.

Can't promise that I have the time, but if I do, I'll probably give it a go.

I'm planning on having a character done by tomorrow - currently throwing up between a hobbit or an elf, though probably leaning towards the latter ^^ not the easiest decision though ><

Consider me interested! About time I found a decent looking LotR roleplay. Just a question though; I'm thinking of making an Elf (Either Silvan or Noldor, haven't decided yet... although Sindar is temping too) how much of the canon are we allowed to bend in relation to the genealogy of our characters? For example, could we invent a sister or child for... I don't know, let's say Feanor, so our character is a descendent of them? Just thought I'd check before making anything.

Kalder, Son of Falden


I'm not opposed to a Dwarven thief exactly, but what would be his reasons for joining the King's Council? My only main issue is how he would get involved.

@Kessir TarkinI don't think you can be making Lore decisions in your CS about how Dwarves are in general, especially when source material says otherwise, much less this GM.

Sorry hadn't read the books in a while and relied on possibly false sources about the dwarven race ending the fourth age and entering the fifth. (Wikipedia).

I will work on it to fit this world.

@Kessir TarkinNew Kaldur looks much better! A few things though. The leader of the Separatist dwarves isn't a king. They aren't a separate kingdom, just a mysterious faction. Also, what is the correct spelling of his name? You have Kaldur in your hider, but Kalder on the CS. Lastly, using the word infamous to describe Gimli is not doing his character justice hahah. That's just me being nitpicky with words though. Other than that, you're in!

@FernStone An Elven blademaster. A character after my heart. Definitely accepted.

@wolverbellsLooking forward to it!

@Verse Zero Always room for more elven goodness.
