â??The War of the Ring is over. Middle-earth has passed into the Fourth Age. It will become the Golden Age of Men, but all greatness must first be earned.â?Â
King Elessar spoke these words to his Council just three months after the downfall of Sauron. His words would be proven all too true. Though the Lord of the Rings was destroyed, enemies of the West live on.
And the hero upon whose revered name the Ring War was won has passed over the sea.
Deep in Harad and to the far East dwell enemies of Gondor and Rohan. Though the Armies of Mordor were defeated, the Men of Harad and Rhûn were given pardons. Most returned to their towns and villages with no more thought for Gondor or the war they were forced to fight.
But the desires of the common man are not those of their leaders.
Battalions of Haradrim remain within the borders of desolate Mordor. They are led by the twelve greatest War Lords in Harad. Aided by the Uruk-hai and Orcs hiding in the mountains, they attack the border of Gondor sporadically.
War between the Men of Middle-earth is eminent.
King Elessar has no choice but to make a move against the enemies of Gondor. War is declared, and preparations begin for the long campaign into Far Harad to face the main bulk of the Emperorâ??s army. In Rohan, King Ã?omer honors his alliance with Gondor and musters the Rohirrim.
Where the standard of Gondor flies, so will the banner of Rohan.
Allies of Gondor and Rohan gather from across Middle-earth. Merry Brandybuck and Pippin Took leave the Shire and begin the long journey South. Treebeard shepherds the Huorns into the Wizardâ??s Vale where they stand as a vanguard of the Misty Mountains. Prince Imrahil and Faramir, Steward of Gondor, ready their men to march in Gondorâ??s army. Gimli, now Lord of Aglarond, and Legolas, now Lord of Eryn Silivren, prepare the Dwarves and Elves for battle.
Once again, the Free Peoples of Middle-earth stand united against a Darkness in the East.
The first of the Haradrim Wars will begin when the last of the harvest is brought in from the fields. Although they are mighty armies with mighty leaders, there is restlessness among the Men of the West. Whispers and rumors have begun to spread. Men tremble when the words are uttered.
A Lieutenant of Barad-dûr still lives.

Well, first off-- we didn't make Eomer the king, Tolkien did. Also, I *think* Theoden said something interpreting along the lines of 'If Eomer or I do not return from battle, you will rule'. I *think*. I haven't read the trilogy in five months or so, so I forgot a bit. You should also note that while he said that to Eowyn, Theoden also made Eomer second marshal of the Mark after his son, Theodred's, death. So if Theoden, first marshal of the Mark, perished, then the second marshal --Eomer-- would asume the position of King and first marshal.
If Theodin named Eowyn as his successor then why is Eomer King of Rohan?Lay the LotR smack-down on them Cuch![snapback]37923[/snapback]
Talon, the lord of tigers, barged into the court, scattering those around him as he run towards the king.
"Human King!" he growled, the gutteral sound paining the stomach of those within earshot, "I have killed all the enemies of your kingdom".
Before the king could respond, talon pounced forward and with a powerful swipe of his claw, ripped out the throat of the king and threw it in the air.
"Now your kingdom is mine!" he growled, whilst catching the bloody mess in his jaws, and swallowing without a single bite.
Suddenly, through every door and window a host of the numerous tiger clans burst through the room. Even if those of the kingdom, of which all had been invited, had been armed they would not have managed to still the swarming plague of fur that was upon them.
Unable to defend themselves, all those of the kingdom's council were slain, and the tiger army ventured forth, and over the coming months eradicated every last human, dwarf, and elf, and all those not of tiger-kin from the kingdom and beyond.

oh god no, there are plenty of those around - it's actually very fun to do over a forum, and a lot of people comment that it vastly improves their writing capabilities.As if to say there aren't plenty of role playing forums? I bet there's more of them than nwn mods. :lol:[snapback]38523[/snapback]
I found it quite brain-power consuming when I roleplayed on RoD. Although a forum RPG is very enjoyable I don't think I'll join this one, since I still don't like the fact that it's all turn-based and I hate making people wait. xD I'd also like to say that I am not always in the mood to roleplay. lolChardy only has a problem when he forgets about replying entirely for so long that he never does. :lol: Right Chardy-poo? :D
What exactly do you mean by "turn-based"? The only 'turns' I can think of would be individual posts - other than that you don't have to wait for someone else to go before posting again as long as you weren't the last person to post. And I wouldn't worry about making people wait - all sorts of things come up so they might not even notice the fact that you took several days to reply to something (believe me, I do it plenty). And if you're not in the mood to role-play, you can always put-off replying until you are. I know I do.He's probably thinking of a specific RP thread on RoD that was turn based. Where people only went after everyone else had gone through turns, like playing cards.
Remember this isn't done in real-time. Just because you replied to someone three days later doesn't mean three days have happened in game.
Chardy only has a problem when he forgets about replying entirely for so long that he never does. laugh.gif Right Chardy-poo? biggrin.gif
It's school, I swear! :lol:Suuuuuuuuuuuure it isssss... uhhhhuuuhhhh. :lol: :rolleyes: :lol:[snapback]38542[/snapback]
I seriously am not hard to find.Just look up loser, right? :lol:
P.S. I'm going to a courthouse in a half an hour, I'm also going to speak with my lawyer. You're as good as sued.I'm still trying to make heads or tails of this one. :blink:
That's not actually accurate. There are only two authority and nine other members. The owner has four characters of her own (that's the 4 admins) and she has one moderator with two characters. There's a Who's Who (http://s1.zetaboards.com/realmofarda/topic/576812/1/) list of characters handled by the same person, although that list has a few characters not listed.I see. Separate accounts for separate characters? I don't see the logic behind that either, however.
