Thread: Fellowship Of Forodwaith - LotR Group RP interest/coordination

FELLOWSHIP OF FORODWAITH The northern waste of Forodwaith is cursed, frozen by the Witch King of Angmar--better known by all as Lord of the Nazgul and right hand to Sauron In an attempt to induce fear, the Lord of the Nazgul has set an eternal winter upon Forodwaith, his plan to sway them all to the call of his master, the former bearer of the One Ring--Sauron. Many fled--including King Arvedui--leaving Forodwaith barren and leaderless, in a state of chaos and conflict. The Witch King now looks down from his perch in Angmar with pleasure knowing that he and his master have nothing to fear from the northern wastelands as Sauron continues his search for what had been rightfully his and now is in the hands of the most unlikely creatures.To keep the fear alive and thriving, the Lord of the Nazgul sends reminders to Forodwaith messengers and heralds that remind them of the power of Angmar and what will happen--much like it did to those who'd tried to flee--should they attempt to give aid to any but them. The fear is strong and the cold so bitter and long. The people have grown weary as Sauron searches and in their weariness, their hope for any summer has dwindled to nothing along with their hope for any sort of happy future. The land of Forodwaith is mostly untamed wilds, though there are pockets where those who've remained do dwell. The Cape of Forochel is the most prominent and runs around the Ice Bay.

They are very leery of outsiders and both cautious and superstitious in general. Much of this has to do with their past relations with Angmar and the long ongoing winter they've endured for generations. Though, besides the Lossoth, others have indeed made homes in the region of Forochel in the Forodwaith wastelands. Besides the native Lossoth, other humans along with dwarves, halflings and even elves have found their way. But now is the time for winter to end or so come the whispering hopes of all. And thus the Fellowship of Forodwaith is slowly born, but given its birthplace, the bonds are shaky and all refuse to speak of the hope they hold inside that success will somehow find a way to prevail and bring an end to the eternal winter.
