Okay I will be the High King Fingolfin.


I'll take the guy with the kick-ass sword(I forget his name, he killed the first dragon if I remember correctly.)

If you mean Turin okay got that. What about instead of him going into exile you rp as the whole Dor-Lomin as he later is the lord of it?

I would love to play, I just rwad the Silmarillion. The problem there is I cant remember any of it becuase I started Dune the day after...

I have benn reading sections over and over I woll help people who need help.

Ill look the book over and if a part i like is still open tommorow afternoon i could join.

If you tell me the place you want to be I will reserve.

OCC: Please chose Lords as they control regions and nations and are easier to manage for the wars.

Okay I put all the Kingodms I could think of if you have suggestions please leave an rp.

OOC: Angband. Now where's that copy of the Silmarillion?

Do you want Angband?

Ok, I went and checked, and yes, Turin Turambar, and Dor-Lomin would work for me. I have just one request, in the Dagor Bragellach(sp) I want to control some of the Sons of Feanor.

Do you want Angband?

OOC: I can't seem to find my copy. And yes.

Hmmm..... your army may command one of their hosts, but you would like have them with only a few elven soldiers, like during the battle your army joins one of them and then a small company joins you as during many elves fled one of them joins you to help you during the battle.

Acceptable.

Okay i will add them and update it.

bumping it up

bump for more rps and more rpers

I would like to rp as Gondolin. Although my knowledge of the Third Age of Middle Earth is extensive, I would appreciate any help you could provide about the Elder Days.

Alright then Caladonn I will help as much as I can. But, I have one question were the sons of Denethor (Bormoir, and Faramir, also forgive mispelling inn their names) pure Numenorean, mostly Numenorean, or just part?

You have selected the Hidden Kingdom, you hide and you kill things that come looking for you, you are eventually betrayed by accident and destryed by Balrogs.

They were part numenorean, their line had been distilled with that of other men, the true Numenoreans were the Dun Edain.

Weren't some people of Dol Amroth pure Numeroan of mostly with a little Eleven blood in them.

Yes, what Mini Miehm says is right. And thanks for the help, I'll look up Gondolin on Arda Encyclopedia.

Weren't some people of Dol Amroth pure Numeroan of mostly with a little Eleven blood in them.

I think the Numenoreans were the children of Lethian, meaning that they were related to Elrond but were not counted among the first born, Elros had decided to be counted as a man and died, as did his descendants, Elrond was counted among the Eldar and has lived until the third age.

I remeber reading somwhere that the people of Numenor were half-elves espcially the High men of Numenor.

They are and they aren't, they're related to Lethian, who was an Elf, but they count as ment due to Elros' choice, they are not considered to be Elven, just very long lived men.

Mini Miehm's right again. Elros chose to be human when he founded Numenor.

Okay, I felt like bringing that up.

Of course I am, I know my Tolkien very well, been reading the books since about 4th grade.

Okau, I had a feeling that you had indeath knowledge of Tolkein, but not that deep for that I will respect what you say unless if I look it up in the book condricting you because memories can sometimes be a little foggy, but nealr the entire time I bit you will be right and I hope you will help me develop this thread.

I planned to help develop this as best I could within a storyline of the Silmarillion.

I don't know much about the Elder Days, but I hope I can learn more from this thread.

I will help and advise you and other where I can.

Great! Thanks. It will be interesting rping a hidden realm.

Well, you'll be more geurilla fighting than anything else, you'll fight, just not with an army at your back.

I haven't really worked out a strategy yet, but I'm sure it will be interesting.

You'll be best at geurilla tactics with the land you picked, you can fight some major battles, but it'll lead to your downfall when Melcor finds you sooner, but it could make for some interesting RP, go with what you want, I simply advise.

Thanks anyway.

Bump

Okay we still need more nations to join, but at least we already have noe three people and two seem to be good rpers.

I'm starting to think that we should restrict this to the Elven kingdoms, and then by race, with Angband controlling all of the orcs, because this doesn't seem to be attracting many people like this.

Can you be a little more coherent I got the part to restrcting this to the Elven kingdoms, but what about the other evil creatures and also men.

Well, I think that we should have the Elves, and then one person controls all of the men, another controls all of the dwarves, and the person who controls Angband controls all of the evil creatures.

Yeah that could work, but maybe we should see if anyone else want's to join by Friday or if another of the rpers supports your idea then your vote wins as long as no one else joins by then.

I just really want to do this, and I don't want to see it die for lack of players.

I agree if later on more want to join we may just give them a land/kingdom of their own under the lordship of the one who granted them land or just dicuss other terms if they like.

bump

bump Caladonn waiting for your vote or somelse's vote...

Okay the thre4ad signup is closed and the real thread is starting, but people will still be allowed to aplly for the thread.

Yes, I agree with Mini Miehm. We seem to be the only three people interested in this, unfortunately. I'll do some recruiting, but unfortunately I'm going away for a week. If you guys have started by the time I get back, that's great, if not, I'll recruit more and join in. Thanks.

Sorry I had started I had to work for six weeks and had gone on vaction aso I forgot about this thread, but at least I have found it again so now I am resarting it and if Caladonn you still wish to recurit you may, but we are going to start this thread soon.

Unfortunately, noone else really seems interested in this. I'm still willing to do it though.
