Lord of the Rings style RP? (Open)

I was thinking about having a Lord of the Rings style fantasy RP, where we would have basically an NS Continent serve as Middle Earth as it will, with a Witchking of Angmar type character maybe.

It would be called "Ardvada", based on the name of Arda, the creator, with the Illunmi, the wizards, and the Triai, the Maia like angels, with Aluzavar, the Sauron type character.

Since I haven't done very many RP's by myself, I'd appreciate anyones help.

Interested Participants:
The Lupine People
Calizorinstan
Blackhelm Confederacy
North Calaveras
Kitsuneville
DMG
Amazonian Beasts

List of Kingdoms:
Zorodor (Evil, ruled by Aluzavar)
Dark Areinzstor (Evil, ruled by Az-Sharkrish (Orc, puppet of Aluzavar)
Harandian Kingdom (Puppet of Aluzavar also, rulled by Incurin the Doomsman of Aluzavar)

Jothian (Ruled by Zarimnstar's half brother Alirtchzstar, the remnant of the loyal, faithful Areinzstor)
Triytithan (The Kingdom of the Elves)

List of Wizards so far:
Zarimnzstor (Not only the last prince of Areinzstor, but he has the power given to him by the Triai, and as such is an Illunmni as well. One of the most powerful wizards)

Aluzavar (Dark Triai, is an extremely powerful dark wizard, including puppets, rules over three kingdoms, is a big threat to Jothian. He is so horribly ugly from all of the evil, he cannot assume a pleasant form. He wears an armored battle suit instead to cover the ugliness.)

List of Orcs:


List of Men
Alirtchzstar (King of Jothian)
Leglandas (King of Triytithan, head Elf)

That's good, and I guess I'll ask if anyone would like to assist me in setting up this RP, since I'm not always on.

Okay BC, you're on. What we'll need is to figure out the names of the various kingdoms, and of course what our version of the One Ring will be.

If nobody doesn't mind, I might start the IC thread, the Chronicles of Ardvada. My main character will be Zarimnzar, the shipwrecked Areinzstor prince, (In regards to Areinzstor, think Numenor from Lord of the Rings), feel free to create some wizards, orcs, elves, and other characters, and bring them into the thread.

How would I designate the tech level, FT, for Fantasy Tech?

With a little different story line. Zarminzar is shipwrecked on the coast of Dark Arienzstor, and he is trying to resist the temptation of the Dark Arienzstorians..

Here is the IC thread, feel free to add your own Ardvada history around it, and feel free to make characters, and have one find Zarimnzar.

DMG, we're pleased to have you on board. I put up a list of kingdoms, and characters, so far, just mine are on, but as people add their characters, I will add them.

I'm interested, though I usually go out of the box for fantasy RPs. Would for-hire mercenary bands be acceptable here?

Yes, they can serve both sides. Aluzavar has a lot of money though, he's stolen from Jothian a couple of times. Any one who wants to RP Aluzavar, feel free.

AB, you're in.

Do all the names have to be quite so unpronounceable? ;)

No, but I was trying to get a Lord of the Ring likeish name, but not too close, but I really like the Numenorean names.

I'd like to join. My MT nation, Delkor, is supposed to be Middle Earth of the modern, industrial age. I'd like to use this to RP some of my history, assuming that I could be Gondor/Rohan....

Oh, here's my Modern Tech (MT) map (http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h52/nx9100/railmap.jpg) if anyone's interested. And I wouldn't call this FT, as people might get it confused with Future Tech. Maybe Past Tech (PT)...
