Thali - here's what we have so far. Please take a close look at it and see that it is alright with you.

Then you need to start filling in the rest of the proposal form.

Once that is done - your Dedicated Players can begin putting their Character Bios and First Posts for the Game on this planning thread.

Mirkwood Endgame RPG --- Thalionyulma

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:

The War of the Ring begins in 3018 Third Age.

At the time of this game, the Necromancer, Sauron, is no longer in Dol Guldur – he was driven out in 2941 Third Age, the same year that Smaug was killed.

Three Nazgul retook Dol Guldur in 2951 Third Age. Armies from Dol Guldur attacked Lorien and the Woodland Realm during the War of the Ring. Dol Guldur was finally torn down after the fall of Sauron when Celeborn took it and Galadriel threw down its wall and cleansed its pits

~*~

From Gilthalion’s introduction to the original game:

The story for this game begins several years before the War of the Ring. The characters will not be aware of the events surrounding that war, since they have not happened yet! Nevertheless, some of the characters from LORD OF THE RINGS are alive and active at the time, so the characters might meet one by chance.

Mirkwood in these days is largely inhabited by the Silvan Elves. There may be some men on the northwest fringes near the valley of the northern Anduin. The Elves of the Golden Wood are far away and have not been seen in many, many years by their distant relatives in the Woodland Realm of Thranduil. The great forest has become unwholesome in many places, especially in the south. Dol Goldur is there, and the Necromancer has been vanquished. Yet, the evil place stands and has been left unguarded since that day...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BASIC STORYLINE:

A small group journeys from Thranduil's Realm towards Dol Guldor, in hopes of uncovering the dark events happening in the mighty forest once known as Greenwood the Great. Men and other dark creatures have been invading the Realm, bringing disturbing news. Elven abodes have been raided, inhabitants killed or captured for unknown purpose. Each event getting closer and closer to the quiet Woodland realm. An assasination attempt had been thwarted, puzzling clues gathered. The group must uncover the origin of these events and its evil intent before darkness engulfs the Woodland Realm.

The small group now draws nearer Dol Guldor, but each path that brings them closer, brings them closer to danger they've never expected. Another group unexpectedly is captured and also is headed unwittingly to the same destination. And unkown to all, an army gathers at the foot of Dol Guldor - an army intent on one thing. The destruction of Thranduil's Realm, preventing any assistance to their kin in the West.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PURPOSE OF THE STORY:

Uncover the mystery of the events happening all over Mirkwood. Discover the truth within Dol Goldur, and journey back to Thranduil to warn the Woodland Realm of the dangers that lie ahead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STARTING LOCATION: Near the foothills of Dol Guldor

LIKELY DESTINATION: The main destination is to penetrate Dol Guldor's defenses and enter the dark hill. Final destination is to get the information back to Thranduil.

WE WILL KNOW THE GAME IS DONE WHEN:

Once the truth has been discovered and news delivered to Thranduil & a warning sent to Lorien, the story has ended. The army's powerful characters being eliminated, its purpose temporarily thwarted, then the game is resolved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TIME FRAME:

The year is 3014 T.A. - four years before the War of the Ring.

First post:

This is a requirement for this game. Character Descriptions without a First Post attached will be sent back to the writer. They may be submitted again, once there is a First Post to go with them.

piosenniel · 07-17-2004, 12:34 PM

THALIONYULMA – Please list all the characters for me who will appear in your game, including your character, all the other writer’s characters that you have invited to play, and the exact number and race of any extra character roles you might need

Thalionyulma · 07-25-2004, 07:26 PM

So far these characters have accepted my invitation:

1.)Taralphiel- who'll be playing Taralphiel & Eriador
2.)Amaryllis- who'll be playing Amaryllis
3.)Vitto- has agreed to play Warzgarz(as soon as she posts at the Green Dragon Inn!)
4.)Eiz- will be playing Muru

Vital characters still needed are:

Anarya
Laryelion
Gayahithwen
Deagon

I've given enough time for the previous players to answer so I'm recruiting

I'll have post w/in 24 hrs. on updates as I hustle in more recruits- but invitation is still open!

Quote:

where/how will Amaryllis fit in here?

I still have loose ends in the Mirkwood proper... I want to show the uneasy affairs happening at Thranduil's realm, so I need a small group there- who'll aide Rudchamion's return to the woodland king. A group who'll eventually send word to Lorien once the truth is discovered and word is sent to Thranduil.

I may "kill off" the other characters who were part of Amaryllis group- pity though a wild elf like Sauche & naive Gayahithwen would have made things interesting.

piosenniel · 07-25-2004, 10:54 PM

Characters ------- Player

1.) Rudchamion ------- Thalionyulma

2.) Taralphiel ------- Taralphiel

3.) Eriador ------- Taralphiel

4.) Amaryllis ------- Amaryllis

5.) Warzgarz ------- Vitto

6.) Eiz ------- Muru

~*~

Players still needed:

7.) Anarya ------- ???

8.) Laryelion ------- ???

9.) Gayahithwen ------- ???

10.) Deagon ------- ???

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does the above look right to you - that there are 4 characters open for players to try out for once the proposal is finished and I've put the Game's Discussion Thread up?

-----

What I need now is this:

Please take this list of characters and tell me what race each of them is (Elf - what kind; Man - what sort; Orc; Evil being; etc . . .)

Rudchamion
Taralphiel
Eriador
Amaryllis
Warzgarz
Muru
Anarya
Laryelion
Gayahithwen
Deagon

Thalionyulma · 12-26-2004, 02:10 AM

Pio,

I don't know about the others... but I haven't heard from Gaya. Shall we set her characters as carry-on as well?

Eiz has taken an interest on the character Deagon, but was hesitant because we couldn't contact Gaya.

Tara,

Great! In many ways I know you'll do Anarya's character justice!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL!

piosenniel · 12-26-2004, 11:44 PM

Thali -

It's really up to you - since Gaya has dropped from the game by her absence, you as the game owner, can let Eiz pick up Deagon if you want.

Who will carry along the "Gayahithwen" character? How do you want to handle that?

~*~ Pio

Thalionyulma · 12-27-2004, 02:10 AM

Pio,

well... I think I'll develop the "Gayahithwen" character in the elven realm end. Should we get any new characters/players they can choose either to interact in the Legolas' territory or down south where Rudh's company will be. That way should the real owner surface she can jump in (I'll keep in mind the character's bio - good thing part of it is the character's personality/trait as a guide).

Along the storyline both parties will be meeting up anyway. It would be interesting how the story will unravel.

The question would be who (character) will survive the adventure, right?

piosenniel · 12-27-2004, 11:45 AM

OK -- so Eiz needs to post a character bio for Deagon either as a main character or a carry along. Either way is fine.

The small group now draws nearer Dol Guldor, but each path that brings them closer, brings them closer to danger they've never expected. Another group unexpectedly is captured and also is headed unwittingly to the same destination. And unkown to all, an army gathers at the foot of Dol Guldor - an army intent on one thing. The destruction of Thranduil's Realm, preventing any assistance to their kin in the West.

Posts: 7,779	STARTING LOCATION: Near the foothills of Dol Guldor LIKELY DESTINATION: The main destination is to penetrate Dol Guldor's defenses and enter the dark hill. Final destination is to get the information back to Thranduil. WE WILL KNOW THE GAME IS DONE WHEN: Once the truth has been discovered and news delivered to Thranduil & a warning sent to Lorien, the story has ended. The army's powerful characters being eliminated, its purpose temporarily thwarted, then the game is resolved.
