Note: This Roleplay is a rework/off-shoot from Middle-Earth: The Fifth Age, courtesy of @Lucian


Greetings all! If you're a fan of the world of Tolkien, then this is the roleplay for you. Our story will be following a group of intrepid volunteers as they uncover an unfolding plot of darkness in their supposedly peaceful world. All canon races will be accepted (Within reason - no Spiders, please.), and it will be taking place not so long into the Fourth Age.

Most information in regards to character creation will be given in the OOC when it is made; this check is simply to test the waters and see who would be interested in a roleplay set in the world of Lord of the Rings. Knowledge of lore is preferred, but as this is set after the events of Lord of the Rings, it won't be absolutely important, unless you want to go ham on your character's backstory. The movies alone can probably give you the basics of what is needed to be known, but book lore comes first! If something contradicts between the movies and the books, the books will take precedent. Again, this shouldn't affect people too much, but it should be kept in mind.





The year is 4E 219. King Eldarion, the son of Aragorn and his wife Arwen, has been ruling in relative peace for nearly 100 years. But trouble is brewing in the lands of Middle-Earth. News of Goblins returning to their Mountain strongholds and causing trouble on the fringes of the Misty Mountains has reached the realm of Gondor; paired with the return of the spiders of Mirkwood, and seemingly random attacks on the roads or in the wilds against various races has caused the King to begin to worry. It was small instances like this that led up to the greatest and bloodiest wars that lands have ever seen. Are they a cause for concern, or simply small factions of evil, striking back against the good and innocent? King Eldarion does not know the answer, but it is not only he that ponders over this question. The lands of Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits are too wondering what these occurrences might mean... and the ever-growing kingdoms of men are beginning to grow antsy of these terrors. The Second War of the ring and the felling of Sauron may have occurred over a century ago, but the memory of this is still fresh in the minds of some. The realms of Harad and Umbar well remember their predecessors involvement in such acts; nor is their involvement truly forgotten by the allied forces of Gondor, Rohan and now Arnor. Tension builds among these humans races, as they do amongst the other species of this world.









More information about the plot, and where our character's stories begin will be given in the OOC. This is basically just to see who's interested.

Sorry for the delay on the OOC folks - it's about 99% finished but I've been so busy today I haven't been able to polish off the 1% and get it posted! It'll be done tomorrow, promise. :)

Definitely interested in this! Been playing a lot of Third Age: Total War that rekindled my love for Tolkien.

Thought I'd give this a bump considering we could do with some more players! The IC hasn't moved much and new characters can easily be introduced, so don't let it dissuade you if you're interested. :)
