Himaran invites you to look at his new game:

Basic Storyline:

By the beginning of the 4th Age, the sea of Rhûn is but a myth to the dwarves still living at Erebor; a mysterious body of water in a phantom land of the far east. But the legends of old now spark the interest of the new generation, and a small band of explorers set out to find the ancient kingdom; and any riches its sea may hold. Upon arrival, however, the expedition turns into a disaster.

The dwarves quickly discover that the place they seek is not a sparkling, unsullied kingdom filled will pearls, mithril, and other great treasures. What they find is a nightmare land, spotted with dense jungles, swamps and all a manner of strange beasts. But the most startling a deadly discovery that they make is that of a nocturnal, Easterling race; nearly invisible in Rhûn’s rugged terrain and hostile to outsiders. The dwarves, lost, starving and attacked by the hour, will face a struggle few among the party ever believed they would be forced to endure; and through camaraderie, bravery and sacrifice, will overcome it.
