The Avari and Vintner of Dorwinion

## Lore of Dorwinion

The vegetated and fair lands of Dorwinion, founded by the Avari Elves, are ruled by king Bladorthin III. These lands are found very suited for growing crops, therefore, Dorwinion became known as the 'Wine-land' in Sindarin, for their wines brewed from grapes are so widely enjoyed that even the Woodland Realm has trade routes with them. However, even Dorwinion, as pleasant and happy as it sounds, has its secrets. King Bladorthin III witnessed his own royal family and kin being slaughtered by Mordor Orcs in an assault, before Mordor was taken over by Wraith-Lord Talion, of course. Bladorthin III has an unstable drinking problem due to his depression, for Elves are more subject to sorrow and anguish, and seeing his kin destroyed in his own home. Bladorthin III is a tank in battle, taking damage for his allies and standing in the front lines. Though he rules with negative emotions but positive intentions, he has learned to use his anger and anguish to his advantage and strike down his opponents with rage-imbued power. Dorwinion is a part of the Alliance, and is willing to give their lives for the sake of their home.

## Why Should You Join Dorwinion?

Dorwinion usually doesn't start war, unless they have a good reason. They don't join war unless they must defend their allies or to protect home, meaning Dorwinion is a great place for people who enjoy peace. Though, the server isn't called 'Steel Armies: Total War' for nothing. The region is very beautiful in scenery and very vegetated.

Dorwinion has decent troops when it comes to the Order of Bladorthin, and they're quite cheap too. The Elves now have archers, because the Beta 31 update added Dorwinion Elven Bows. No need for those puny Vintner Crossbowers. Literally, Vintner are weak as hell. Don't hire them.

One more reason why you should join Dorwinion, is because of the wine, of course! The wine is very strong and can make you drunk from possibly one glass. It's always humorous to talk in chat when you're drunk.
