“Someone else always has to carry on the story.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien

The calm before the storm - a shadow rises in the east that threatens the peace of Middle-Earth, will you fight for the dawn of a new era, or the twilight of man? If there is any hope in defeating your enemy, you must band together to secure a future for the free peoples of Middle-earth, or stand united under the eye of Sauron to claim Middle-earth.

Note: In order to pursue active RP, we won't be drawing too many differences from the books or the movies, I'm quite sure most people are familiar with the movies. I myself am outlining the RP from the books but if your character appearance is used from the movies or something it won't matter too much.

Gondor Rallies

2 May, 2018 - [*VGS*] Chris | 0 Comments

As a great mordor army marches towards Osgiliath, Boromir has taken it upon himself, as opposed to his ignorant father, to call upon the lords of Gondor to rally and defend the city.

A mighty host worthy of Mordor marches forth to oust us from our once great capital city once more, we have defeated them once before but then our armies were vast and mighty. Now the garrisson of Osgiliath grows weak, but together if we stand united we can secure Osgiliath and send a strong message to Mordor. Gondor is not weak, Gondor is not disunited and Gondor is most certainly prepared to defend itself from the taint that is Mordor!

I hope that one day, our people may return to Osgiliath and rebuild it to its former glory, for every day that passes is another day that the Citadel of the Host of Stars remains unturned. Perhaps we have waited long enough now, perhaps it is indeed the time that Mordor recognises the full strength of Gondor and her capability to not only defend but to destroy her foes.

Lord Forlong and Lord Angbor, I beseech you to rally all your forces and make haste to Osgiliath, for we cannot fight this battle alone. Gondor can only stand strong if it remains united and loyal to the faith of the Realm.

The staunch defenders of Osgiliath stand true and proud, however, only time will tell how the fate of the gateway to Gondor turns out. For if Osgiliath is to fall, then Gondor can no longer protect its vassals and allies. The Realm of Gondor will most certainly be in grave danger.

The Shadow of the East Looms

1 May, 2018 - Steely Dan | 0 Comments

In the great depths of Mirkwood, the halls of the Elvenking have been reported to have been attacked by the forces of Dol Guldur. The Silvan Elves should find no immediate concern, being familiar with their territory and the great power of Nenya, whom only the Dark Lord himself may overcome...

On that same token, in the south a force has confronted the defenders at East Osgiliath, the battle is soon to be underway, and the consequences of the results will be dire...Should it fall to the Lord of Mordor, it shall allow the Dark Lord to conduct his operations closer to Gondor, inching ever closer to Minas Tirith, and surely marking the precedent which will begin this dreadful war, in the fading days of the Third Age...

Men with hearts of darkness stand at the command of the Dark Lord, the golden age of Gondor has passed into time, and the Elves dream of the west. Who shall triumph?

// Let the RP commence. Feel free to post announcements, though the Battle of East Osgiliath should not be acknowledged until its conclusion. Individual characters may make announcements regarding their character, as much as faction leaders have the ability to do so. Also, still don't have a Mordor player, sign up as Sauron if you're interested, until then, I'll be handling Mordor.
