Northron

The **Northrons** were humans that lived in the north of Rhovanion in Middle-earth, and were friendly to Gondor. They dwellt in Greenwood the Great and other parts of Rhovanion were friendly to the Dúnedain and were after the Dúnedain the most noble Humans on Arda, counted as Middle Humans by the Dúnedain, and believed to have been descended from the same group of Humans as the Edain, the Atanatári. The only difference was that they didn't cross the Ered Luin into Beleriand and therefore didn't go to Númenor. The result of them not participating in the War against Morgoth was their considerably shorter lifespan if compared to the lifespan of the Dúnedain, whose lifespan was enhanced by the Valar after the War of Wrath. The Men of Dale and Esgaroth were also counted under the Northrons, as were the Wood-folk of Greenwood. Most of Rhovanion had been depopulated after the wars of the Easterlings and the Great Plague.

**Oldenad** was a bald Breelander who lived in the country of Bree that bordered the Shire.

## Biography

Born in the late-Third Age, Oldenad joined the Ruffians, a group of criminals that caused trouble in Eriador. Although for Oldenad, he wasn´t much of a fighter but rather a trader and merchant. Oldenad mianly did his business in city of Bree where he served as spy and provided information to his fellow Ruffians. During the War of the Ring, Oldenad and the Ruffians affiliated with Saruman, who had recently betrayed the White Council and pledged his service to Dark Lord Sauron.

Now under the control of Saruman, he was sent by Saruman to Bree to keep watch over his local affairs. That was when he kept his eyes on four Hobbits, who were known as Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Peregrin Took. Oldenad believed that one of the hobbits was a Baggins and decided to spy on them secretly. He overheard Pippin's conversation when he revealed that a Baggins was right here in Bree. Cautious, Oldenad thought of a way to lure Frodo into a trap, but his plan failed when a Ranger named Strider took the hobbits away from Bree. Oldenad feared on what would happen if his master discovered that he had failed. Later, during the Battle of Bree, Oldenad was stationed at an outpost near the ruins of Gorthad, but he disappeared and fled far north to avoid capture.

**Rurzaur** was one of the most powerful Easterling emperors who ruled the eastern nation of Rhûn. Living in Blázar, the capital city of Rhûn, Rurzaur and his people allied with Sauron and his dark forces during the War of the Ring.

## Biography

### Early life

Rurzaur was born in TA 2920 and became Emperor after his father's death in TA 2940. At the age of 40 in TA 2960, Rurzaur fathered 2 sons, Erbunz and Sbazar, and in the same year, defeated Argaz, who was widely considered the fourth of the most powerful emperors of Rhûn. In TA 3000, The Dark Lord Sauron called upon Rurzaur and ordered him to come to Mordor alone. He was given a choice o either serve or die as an enemy. Hoping to save his people, Rurzaur had no choice to bring the Easterlings to side with Mordor. In that same year, he became number three among the most powerful emperor by defeating his rival Binzak.

### War of the Ring

At the start of the War of the Ring, Rurzaur had been leading his forces in attacking Gondor, but their efforts to succeed had failed. While Sauron had planned on attacking Minas Tirith, Rurzaur was ordered by the Dark Lord to set march to Dale and destroy that kingdom. Before departing, he left Amdûr in charge of leading the Easterling armies to lay siege on Minas Tirith while he led his troops to the northern region of Rhovanion. During the battle in taking the city, Rurzaur's armies were close to succeeding, but when the message arrived at Dale that the One Ring had been cast into Mount Doom by the hobbit Frodo Baggins and Sauron was destroyed, Rurzaur was relieved by this and decided to withdraw in conquering Rhovanion, but during the retreat, Erbunz had been slain by Bard, son of Brand.

### Fourth Age

Following Sauron's death, a new age had begun for the world of Arda. Rurzaur continued his rule in Rhûn. Sometime in FO 10, Rurzaur decided to make peace with King Elessar Telcontar of Gondor. However, his plan failed when he and his wife Slika were executed by a rival Easterling Emperor who refused to do so.

**Anson Roper** was a Hobbit who lived in the Shire during the late-Third Age.

## Biography

A member of the Roper Family, Anson was born in TA 2961 and was the only son of Andwise Roper. He lived in Tighfield and followed his father's trade of ropery. Sometime in TA 3001, Anson was already 40 years old and spent his time working and setting things up for the party tonight.

* Lotho Sackville-Baggins
* Miranda Sackville-Baggins
* Otho Sackville-Baggins
* Sago Sackville-Baggins

## Etymology

Sackville was the name of a relatively young Hobbit family. Their name had an association with Baggins in that both contained an element for "bag/sack"; Sackville was a slightly more aristocratic version. Tom Shippey argued that this "similarity" also provoked an antonymy: Bag End was used around England as a replacement of French cul-de-sac, "dead end street" - even Tolkien's own aunt Jane Neave lived in a house of that name. Tolkien did not like the Norman conquest of Britain, and made the Bagginses English. The name Sackville, however, is very Norman, as one of the few, if not the only, Hobbit family name.

## Biography

Born in Rohan during the late Third Age, Léowyn grew near Aldburg and showed primising skills with the javelin and in wrestling at an early age much to the disapproval of her father Léofen, who sent her to her aunt Breawyn of Snotorn Manor. At the old widow´s home however she found understanding and fell in love with Argulf, the third son of Breawyn´s next neighbour. When the War of the Ring began, Léowyn and Argulf were planning on getting married, but that was when her fiancee was called away and traveled to Gondor as part of an embassy. When word reached that he was killed by an underling out of greed for a medallion she had given to him as a token. A day later before Saruman prepared to send his forces to invade Rohan, Léowyn left and followed an oath to find Argulf's murderer as she dressed herself up in Rohirrim armor.

Spending several days in tracking down her fiancee's killer, she had been following the tracks while she had traveled near the borders of Gondor. Eventually, her chance to find the killer was a success, avenging her fiancee's death. Following the Battle of Helm's Deep, Léowyn traveled to Edoras and attended the celebration at Meduseld where she and the attendants would honor the victims (both Rohirrim and Elves) that were killed while defending the Keep from an army of Orcs. She later stayed in Edoras for a time been until she and number of shield-maidens heard word that King Théoden Ednew planned on mustering the Rohirrim, and prepare for war in aiding Gondor from the enemies of Mordor.
