## Crimes to the people of Dale

The Dalish Mafia was wanted for:

Drug trafficking

arms trafficking,

drug use,

resisting arrest,

murder,

high treason.

## Known Members

jakub8899 (Convicted)

FishFinger (Convicted)

clawstar3000 (Convicted)

MysteryFTW (Still at large)

summersharry (Convicted)

MINISLINKY (Convicted)

## End of the Mafia

The Dalish Mafia was disbanded when a raid conducted by DELOT destroyed a hideout under a lake in Dale. The 2 Mafia members were arrested and a pipeweed farm flooded along with the rest of the hide out.

The leader disbanded it though other groups splintered off such as clawstar3000's drug trafficking operation, which sold game enhancing drugs. That group was crushed by DELOT when they searched the sewers for claw and consequentially executed him.

Another group is still at large, led by MysteryFTW as they mug Dalish soldiers to gain illegal drugs which were confinscated from other groups.

Currently the Mafia is gone but crime is still a problem for Dalish citizens.

Kingdom of the Northern Misties

The Kingdom of the Northern Misties was a faction that existed in the Misty Mountains north of High Pass. Its capital was first Mount Gundabad and later Durins City.

## History

On October 19th 2014 Gundabad was vanquished in the Northern War by a coalition of Dwarves, Elves, and Rangers primarily led by the Blue Dwarven King SquatchThunder. Mount Gundabad was sold to the Dwarves for a small price of 64 coins and iwellner45, the Lord of Nogrod and the heir of Squatch, was selected to become the King of the Dwarves of the Northern Misties. Iwellner established a city known as Durins City at Mount Gundabad but due to it at the start being little more than a military fort was initially ruled in absentia from the Blue Mountains.

On November 28th 2014 the Dwarven Council was founded and the Dwarves of the Northern Misties became a founding member with the council hall being established at Durin's City. Iwellner45 later abdicated for LuckySilverStar, the richest player on the server, but after he vanished iwellner returned. After Mount Gundabad was reset on February 1st 2015 Gundabad reclaimed the mountain and a new city was established nearby. During this period Lord\_Gimli\_ founded the fortress of Mount Gram. Among the players to join iwellner was JJMS2002, the first and only King of the Dwarves of the Mirkwood Mountains.

On July 8th 2015 the Great War began, officially as revenge against Gundabad and Dol Guldur for attacks launched against the Kingdom of the Grey Dwarves, but was in reality launched due to a desire by Gundabad to destroy the Dwarves of the Northern Misties. On July 14th 2015 Mount Gram fell to Gundabad and all of the Dwarves of Durins City save for iwellner were banned for homophobic insults against the admin, Joetatoe. On August 10th the Treaty of Moria was signed and Durin's City was sold to Gundabad in exchange for a pouch of enchanted books, and iwellner left the server. Enchanted items were later banned, leaving the dwarves with nothing.

Sakharâgor IV

Sakharâgor IV is a newly emerged Black Numenorean warlord and noble, currently residing in the northern parts of Angmar. Son of Fuinur II and Berúthiel, therefore a member of the House of Fuinur.

## Emerging from hiding

As a young but nevertheless promising warlord, Sakharâgor IV, named after one of his famed ancestors from Numenor, was covertly sent north, to Angmar, to aid in the stirring of the vile powers there. Not much else is known about him, other than his deep hatred towards the Faithful and their descendants, of whom Aragorn is the most famous one.

## Current standing

Sakharâgor IV is currently active in Angmar, training new recruits and other forces, in order to strike the weakened Dunedain some day in the future.
Funeral of Empress Shamiir

The funeral of Empress shamiir was held on January 23rd 2022.

## Background

Empress shamiir, the former long-serving Empress of the Astrasi Empire and a giant in Near Haradrim politics since 2014, passed away in the fall of 2021 to cancer. News was relayed to several of her old Astrasi deputies by Treb, who played LOTR on other servers. Former Emperor Herodain ultimately informed PizzaKingOfPizza on January 13th 2022 and it was broken to the server shortly thereafter. Serpentlord MandatoryPeanut and Pizza then began funeral preparations to honor the Astrasi's greatest Empress who was an idol and mentor to so many.

Halbarad Dunadan

## Halbarad\_Dunadan

### Overview

Halbarad\_Dunadan (previously known as chompacake until he found out he could change it) is a Ranger of the North who spends most of his time mining, brewing brews, hunting orcs or wandering around aimlessly. He mainly just serves the rest of the faction by being a helpful and reliable ranger, who is always willing to do what a Lord wishes and make friends with other players, as long as they're not allied with orcs.

### Fighting Style/Appearance

If you ever see Halbarad in a fight, you will almost see him wearing an eclectic mix of equipment generally including Ranger, mithril, Gondorian or Wood elf scout armour, and shooting all the wargs with a high elf bow before getting bored and putting on his heavy armour and jumping into the thick of it with a mithril pike and sword, and usually dying. His trusty mithril sword is called Yrchnir, which roughly translates to "bane of orcs". His bow is called Palangur (death from afar) and his pike is called Aegand (long spike)

### Halbarad's Tale

When Halbarad started off as a petty noob, back in late 2015, all he had was a hatred of orcs and the name "chompacake". He lived a simple life as a nomadic hunter-gatherer in the Lone Lands, living on rabbit and scavenging weapons, armour and resources from felled enemies, and was content, not knowing that all the lag was his doing. However, one day chompacake decided that Middle Earth had more to it than orcs and rabbit, so he started out on a trek to the misty mountains, but on the way he was attacked by multiple Gundabad invasions at once, whilst bandits worked with them to steal his pouches of what little valuables he had, so he left the server.

A long while later chompacake returned, and somehow managed to track down his lost items. He continued on his journey, and in this time discovered the lands of Lindon, The Emyn Luin, Enedwaith, The Misty Mountains, and the list goes on. Chompacake gathered enough alignment to get the ranger title, though, rather strangely, never wanted to join the faction. Later on he was joined by a group of friends, and,they establish a small, and rather rubbish looking fort in Eastern Rohan, though this small alliance did not last long, and they split up, one to the Iron Hills, one to Grimslade, one continued being a noob and one to Gondor, whilst chompacake returned to Arnor, changing his name to Halbarad\_Dunadan. In this period he gathered more alignment with the Rangers, however never met Skelesam and did not become an official ranger for a while.

Once Halbarad joined the Ranger faction, he discovered that the server had a wiki, and was greatly interested by the history and wars between the factions, and wanting to be a part of it all, he got himself a computer that worked and became a ranger lord, earning himself the shield of the Dunedain, and expressed his interests to become the ambassador of the Rangers to Skelesam, who didn't seem very enthusiastic about the idea, but he befriended Combobob, chancellor of the Rangers, who gifted him a house in Fornost, where he lives to this day.
The Scourge

## History

On September 12th 2015, Kvesir, King of Umbar submitted to the The Union Of Númenor due to his inability to stop Numenor's conquest of Umbar. Marynmaru, refusing to surrender to Numenor, fled south to the desolate rocky coastline of Harad and established the Scourge.

Marynmaru was banned on December 3rd 2015 and was succeeded by Thbar as King of the Black Waves, who signed numerous treaties in early 2016. On March 11th 2016, Thbar chose to merge the Scourge with Umbar due to the end of the Númenórean occupation of Umbar.

## Builds

Stonehold: Stronghold of Thbar on Tol'Osseloth in the province Osselion.

Pyke: Built by Rumil. Seat of Power in the province Kan.

Ravin Hold: Built by Thbar, Fortress of the Osselion mainland.

The City of The Ocean God: Built by Thbar, and represent the land that the Scourge control in the country of Umbar.

Willow Watch: A colony stronghold in the South Downs, joint build by Thbar and Avieer.

## Alliances

## Joining The Scourge

1. Travel to the Rocky Coastline Biome, OR to Umbar! (Use the above map as a reference)

We know the that traveling to the rocky coastline is a long walk, especially for a new player, but once you get here you will be safe from invasions of both NPC's and other factions. We enjoy being in battles, but we don't necessarily want to bring them home with us, which is why we chose this hard to access biome as a home. Not only that, but its overall flat terrain and abundant mineral resources provide the perfect place to build for anyone.

2. Slay any Gondorian NPC and bring his damaged gear as proof of the slaughter.

3. Complete the Maelstrom Maze. (New recruits may choose to wait to complete the maze, as it is not fully completed, they will however be marked as unproven until such completion.)

4. Forge your own named weapon, present it to the King of the Black Waves, and pledge yourself to him.
Khand

Banner of Khand

The Variags of Khand were a faction lead by BDeuce. They resided east and south-east of Mordor in Rhûn and Harad. Their valley was incredibly fertile and their riding rivaled that of Rohan. They were part of the Khaganate.

## History

Khand was founded in February 2016 by BDdeuce, the former ruler of Mordor, as a vassal of the great Khaganate. BDdeuce took control of a swath of land, some of which was owned by Near Harad, in the south-east and founded a number of cities while engaging in various conflicts in Harad. These were both against the Astrasi Empire in the Khagagate's attempt to establish a presence in Far Harad, and in support of of them during the Numenorean Umbar War.

By late 2017, however, Khand had all but collapsed as their members fell into inactivity, and by 2018 it had ceased to exist. Near Harad then took over some of their territory while the rest was abandoned.

The Gladden Fields

## The Free Peoples of the land of the Yellow Iris

Flag of the Free Peoples of the Land of the Yellow Iris

   The Free Peoples of the Land of the Yellow Iris was a faction created by miner49er876 in the Gladden Fields. It was a free faction so you could kill anyone as long as it didn't go against the server rules.

## History

The Gladden Fields were founded on April 24th 2015 by miner49er876 as a farming faction with very close relations to Lothlorien, led by Lord Cookieminers. Miner developed an alliance with Gundabad, whom he sold his crops, and recruited the players Sebrom and shadowninja. They began building the city of Caras Ninglor, which was effectively a flat piece of terrain peppered with dozens of ramshackle buildings built by short-lived recruits.

Relations with Lorien and the other good factions, however, began to collapse when in early September 2015, the Gladden players slew GLASSDUCK, a dwarf of Khazed-Dum. The dwarves subsequently declared war on Gladden on September 5th 2015, and the warriors of the Yellow Iris launched a series of raids on Erebor. In the final battle on November 2nd 2015, the three Gladden players were confronted by five dwarves led by SquatchThunder below the gate of Erebor. In the ensuing battle, Squatch was slain by miner before the Gladden soldiers were forced to flee, causing a salt war. Due to the toxicity of the ensuing argument, the admins forced the two sides to end the war. Shadowninja vanished shortly afterwards.

Despite peace with the dwarves, new conflicts quickly broke out in late November 2015 when PolarClad, ChrisR, and mewarmy joined Gladden. The hosts of good rallied against the Yellow Iris, and although Gladden won all the major battles of the war, the faction lost most of its players in December of the same year when Sebrom and PolarClad were banned while mewarmy returned to Rohan and ChrisR founded his own assassin faction. This left Miner as the last player in Gladden, with his only ally being Gundabad as Lothlorien cut off relations and imposed a kill-on-site on November 24th after Celeborn ousted Cookieminers and took control over Lothlorien.

Despite Gladden’s fall from power, miner continued fighting good aligned players in small skirmishes across Middle-Earth. Grey Dwarven players led by DJMax2ee defected to the armies of the Yellow Iris following the Grey Dwarven Civil War and they launched a fresh campaign against the Dwarven Council, being joined by Sebrom after he rejoined Gladden on August 1st 2016.

Sebrom was banned on August 21st 2016 for breaking a ban on him PvPing and DJ was banned for griefing in 2017. Miner fought on alone but exhausted signed a treaty with the dwarves in which they agreed to give him cobblestone for Gladden's infamous cobblestone structures. Shortly thereafter miner was banned for knowing of Sebrom's illegal alt, finally ending the Gladden Fields.
Coalition of Dawn

## Additional Information

### Member Nations

Riders of Rohan, Kingdom of Gondor, High Kingdom of Arnor, Kingdom of Dol Amroth

### Battles and Wars

The Great Dominion-Gondor War, Arnorian-Dunlending War, Isengard-Arnor War

## What was the Coalition of Dawn?

The Coalition of Dawn, C.O.D shortened, was an official alliance/cooperation between Gondor, Rohan and Arnor. The C.O.D was made with the aim to unify and promote cooperation between said factions. This included military, diplomatic and economic goals.

## History

Operation Trident was the first name given to this coalition, back when it was only an idea between Tarixiv of Gondor and Icefrone of Rohan. At the time Gondor was threatened by territorial encroachment from Mordor and the Astrasi Empire as well as numerous secessionist movements while Rohan was threatened by war from Rohan. The collapse of Rohan's Council of the Northmen and Gondor's Union of Numenor combined with the decline of the White Council left the two factions increasingly isolated in the politics of Middle-Earth.

Polls were held in both factions and the results were decisive, 80% of Witenagemót (Rohan's advice-giving council) voted YES in the poll to make this coalition a good working thing. Gondor's council meanwhile voted YES with a percentage of 100%. Arnor, who was isolated for the same reasons as Gondor, was soon contacted and joined Operation Trident soon after. After the joining of Arnor, the name was changed to Coalition of Dawn in June 2017.

The first wartime action of the Coalition of Dawn came when Mordor declared the Great Dominion-Gondor War against Gondor. The Coalition rapidly mobilized against the threat and ultimately brought Mordor to its knees.

Shortly after the beginning of 2019, HarrMac, King of Dale requested to be admitted to the alliance. Dale was later admitted after a vote of the High Council on January 27th 2019, and on April 24th 2019 Dale led the Coalition in launching the Arnorian-Dunlending War in an attempt to quash their Iron Pact rivals. The war was a success with Arnor seizing significant swaths of territory and the Iron Pact effectively collapsing.

On June 26th 2019, Dol Amroth joined the Coalition of Dawn due to a thaw in relations between Gondor and Dol Amroth.

On October 2nd 2019 Isengard, with the support of the Shadow Pact, launched the Isengard-Arnor War against the Coalition. The Coalition and its allies shattered the Shadow Pact in the Battle of Southern Enedwaith, effectively securing their borders, but infighting broke out within its members. Dale withdrew from the Coalition on December 24th 2019 and after fighting between Prince Aartpard of the Rangers and the other coalition factions the remaining members voted to dissolve the Coalition on January 1st 2020.

History of Ave the king / saga of Aventuras

Long ago an elf by the name of Aventuras lived with his mother, Venya, a Vanyar elf, and his father, Orthuk, lord of the house of the shining spear, a Noldor elf, and his baby brother, Taylor, they lived in the house of the shining spear next to a village of humans so to study and protect them, Aventuras was equivalent to sixteen human years and was set to marry a beautiful human woman named, Arlen, his life had been a good one as prince of the house of Sil-Ecthel, or the house of the Shining Spear, named after the enchanted spear, Artos, which contained light from the two trees of valinor, given to his father by the Valar, and no evil had ever attacked until one day a raiding party of orcs had attacked, his father and mother managed to slay many orcs but they were eventually struck down and with their dying breaths they gave Avery the Artos and the magical ring Calenmîr . Aventuras ran to try to save his beloved but was only in time to see her killed by an Orc. He used the shining spear to defeat the last of the orcs and, heartbroken, he swore revenge upon Morgoth. He managed to make it in time to slay the Orc about to strike down his baby brother. He then took his baby brother who he had protected to the high elves in Lindon and gave them to an elven family living in Mithlond to raise, and then left. He joined Feanor's quest to destroy Morgoth and eventually reached his dark palace. He, enraged in the way only one who has lost everything can be, engaged his foe, the dark one, Morgoth in battle and managed to stab into his chest with the Shining Spear containing a small amount of the light of the two trees Which burned Morgoth. Try as he might though Morgoth defeated him and took his spear before locking him up, and there Aventuras stayed, being tortured for many years, until Fingolfin attacked Morgoth allowing him time to use the ring Calenmîr power to teleport himself to his spear. After retrieving his spear he helped Fingolfin battle Morgoth and once again stabbed him in his chest but this time he fled for he feared the might of Morgoth and fingolfin was captured, only he escaped Morgoth. After he fled he entered a self imposed exile until recently when he decided to journey to the kingdom of the High-Elves, where he found out his deeds had been forgotten and so he took the name Ave and decided to make a new name for himself, as the last known heir to the house of the shining spear, and someday he hopes to see his beloved once again in this world or another. After living with the elves he set out to rebuild the elves of Avari and lead it into greater heights than ever before as the third king of the Avari.
Council of the Northmen

The Council of the Northmen is an inter-factional organization of factions based on Northern Cultures. At the time of its dissolution members of the Council were Dorwinion, Dale, Rohan and the Beornings. Former members included the Kingdom of Anduin, the Woodmen of Mirkwood, and the Clans of the Northmen.

## History

The Council of the Northmen was established in August 2015 by JamesTurpin, ruler of the Clans of the Northmen, and mewarmy, King of Rohan. JamesTurpin was banned on August 24th 2015, however, while mewarmy was banned on September 26th 2015 and the alliance effectively collapsed.

Lego\_Army of Rhovanion later re-founded the Alliance in November 2015 along with mr\_tinty of Rohan. They recruited the Kingdom of the Anduin under KingArthurtz but in February 2016 Rohan attacked Rhovanion in the Rohirric-Rhovanion War. Following the conclusion of the war in March 2016 Rohan rejoined the Council, the Woodmen joined in late March 2016, and after the abdication of the isolationist minerofjustice on April 14th 2016 Dorwinion joined the council on April 20th. Rhovanion rebranded to Dale in June 2017.

Lego led the Council in battling with Gundabad and Dol Guldur to maintain the influence of the Woodmen and the Kingdom of the Anduin in the Vales of Anduin and later to expand into Gladden Fields, with Dol Guldur to maintain Woodmen control over River Gate, and with the Balchoth and Dol Guldur to maintain Dalish and Dorwinion control over the Wilderlands. The period of mid 2015 to late 2016 can be seen as the golden age of the Council of Northmen and Grievous1138, War-Chief of the Moria Clan of Gundabad and General of Dol Guldur was the Council's greatest rival.

Over time the Kingdom of the Anduin collapsed, Rohan left the Alliance on December 30th 2016, and the Woodmen fell into inactivity. After a civil war in Dorwinion the faction moved to more solidly ally with the Mallorn Council at the expense of the Council of the Northmen. After Lego\_Army left Dale on October 30th 2017 it seemed that the Council's time had come to an end.

Suddenly, Dextrosityoflight of Dorwinion led \_Fiene22\_ of Dale, LordOropher of the Beornings, and littlefireninja of Rohan in reforming the council. This plan ultimately collapsed, however, following regime changes in Dale and Rohan, and the alliance came to an end.
Rohan-Mordor War

The Mordor-Rohan War was a war fought between the Kingdom of Rohan and the Realm of Mordor between August 4th 2017 and August 22nd 2017. It was declared by the Kingdom of Rohan, at the time led by Henry3748.

## Background

Although for a time during the later rule of aidansebastian, Mordor was in a state of disarray, this ended with the establishment of canacx and later Faylynn as rulers of Mordor. Mordor's rising power led to regional conflicts between it and Rohan, resulting in Rohan's declaration of war on August 4th 2017. The war was soon opened up to all who wished to participate.

## War

#### First Siege of Helms Deep

The Nazgûl SeanALewis immediately gathered a force consisting of himself, a Mordor orc known as Jondead1, and a force from Gundabad consisting of Jeanuts, wolfking\_nl, and dylanhugh. He quickly marched on Helms Deep and besieged it on August 5th. TheSmileBC, Lord of Helms Deep, gathered his own force consisting of himself, JJofJ, KevinLOTR, SquatchThunder, and tarixxiv.

SeanALewis's forces soon overran the defenders. They attempted to flee via the Glittering Caves but were caught and cut down to the last man.

#### Second Siege of Helms Deep

Although the orcish garrison of Helms Deep was slightly strengthened following their occupation of the fortress, the Rohirric Armies assembled a new army consisting of fourteen warriors opposed to Mordor's seven. On August 10th, the armies of Rohan assaulted Helms Deep and slaughtered its defenders.

#### Siege of Minas Alqua

After the retaking of Helms Deep the majority of the armies of evil fled back to Mordor but wolfking\_nl, War-Chief of the Hunter Clan of Gundabad, fled north along with a Corsair of Umbar and jakub8899 of the Woodmen. The small band of fighters laid siege to the Arnorian city of Minas Alqua, and Lord JJofJ gathered a host consisting of himself, the Rohirric King Henry3748, and 7 inexperienced soldiers including EEofE.

Wolfking and his men launched a swift advance, cutting down all of the defenders save for Henry while only the Corsair of Umbar fell. Henry then attacked and slew Jakub and Wolf, ending the threat to Minas Alqua

## Aftermath

Following the Siege of Minas Alqua the war turned into a stalemate and a treaty was ultimately signed between Rohan and Mordor on August 22nd 2017.
Black Ring Alliance

The Black Ring Alliance was an alliance between several prominent factions of the Shadow. It was founded on December 11th 2020 and abolished on June 28th 2021.

## **History**

On December 11th 2020 Angmar was expelled from the Alliance of the East. They quickly joined with Dol Guldur, who had been expelled from the Alliance of the East on November 18th 2020, Near Harad, who was sympathetic to their plight, and Umbar. Umbar had never been a member of the Alliance of the East or the Shadow Pact due to Umbar's instability but it had recently been taken over by Near Haradrim nobles who had brought stability to the country and wished to take part in the wars of the north.

Together they formed the Black Ring Alliance and on December 13th 2020 Near Harad officially severed ties with the Alliance of the East. On December 29th Mordor, after a brief struggle between supporters of the Alliance of the East and those who were furious over the removal of Angmar and Dol Guldur, severed their ties with the Alliance of the East and joined the Black Ring Alliance.

On January 2nd 2021, the alliance announced its first ever build competition centered around the theme of towers in the style of any of the five current factions within the Alliance. JacobTampico of Near Harad took first place with Xothug of Dol Guldur and Angstrom\_Solennel of Angmar taking second and third place, respectively.

On January 10th 2021, the forces of the Black Ring Alliance were approached with organized battles by the Dwarven Council. Fighting along the plains of Woldhall, the Alliance exited the ring with a higher net of kills than the opposing dwarves, leaving the day behind with many trophies.

On January 18th 2021 Dunland once again became an evil faction under the new leadership of Faylynn and Wolfking, immediately joining the Shadow Confederacy, an alliance centered around Mordor. Dunland requested to join the Black Ring Alliance and after a unanimous response within the Alliance Council, Dunland officially joined on January 19th 2021.

The downfall of the Black Ring Alliance ultimately came about as a result of Near Harad and Umbar being primarily loyal to an alliance of Haradric factions known as the Alliance of the Rising Sun while Mordor, Angmar, and Dunland were primarily loyal to the Shadow Confederacy. Dol Guldur was somewhat in-between, having formerly been a long-time member of the Shadow Confederacy but was heavily influence by Grand Prince ERCjman of Near Harad, who had once ruled Dol Guldur.

The Half-Trolls and Mordor had been engaged in a long-running conflict, which had ended with Mordor retaining control over the Half-Troll island of Tol Torog. The Alliance of the Rising Sun opted to attempt to retake Tol Torog by force, and as a result the Shadow Confederacy members withdrew to prepare for war with their former alliance comrades on June 28th 2021. The Black Ring Alliance then disbanded with Dol Guldur closely allying itself with the Alliance of the Rising Sun.

Southern War

The Southern War was war was started by the Kingdom of Gondor against the old Near Haradrim Empire on March 22nd 2015. It ended with a truce.

## Prehistory

Since the beginning of the server the Kingdom of Gondor and the Near Haradrim Empire were in direct competition for influence in the region. Following the First Gondorian Civil War, Near Harad established its dominance in the region with full control over all of Harandor as well as having a naval colony at the western shore of the Gondorian main land. After Gondor recovered from the civil war tensions between both faction grew, especially at the border near Poros. After a clash between between Gondorian and Near Haradrim forces at Poros, a Gondorian soldier lost his life, and King Elendil of Gondor declared war on Near Harad.

Gondor was quickly joined by all of the White Council save for the Wood-Elves, who were dealing with internal issues. At the time Mordor, Angmar, Gundabad, and Dunland were all extremely weak and unable to intervene, but Isengard supported Near Harad.

## War

Several days before the war started, the Serpentlord of Near Harad, Karseius, left the server for a break and left Near Haradrim Viper shamiir in command of all Haradrim forces. The Gondorian Coalition quickly attacked Poros, taking advantage of the loss of their leader.

The army of the Gondorian Coalition outnumbered the army of Near Harad 4 to 1 as well as had far more mithril forged gear thanks to their dwarven allies. Although the superiority of the Gondorian Coalition was clear, the Near Haradrim forces managed to hold their position for a long time. The first siege of the fortress was a success and most of the Near Haradrim defenders were killed. Following this event, Near Haradrim reinforcements arrived at Poros and the second siege of Poros began. Although still outnumbering the Near Haradrim defenders 3 to 1, the second siege of Poros took relatively long.

Before the fortress fell completely, Viper shamiir and King Elendil agreed to a diplomatic solution. In the Treaty of Poros Near Harad was forced to give up their Gondorian colony but kept Harandor as a province while also promising to not join any wars against Gondor for 30 days.

The Southern War was the first war in a crusade led by good factions against evil factions and weakened the Near Haradrim Empire significantly. Although the war ended with a truce, the Gondorian Coalition reached most of their goals while Near Harad faced internal destabilization. The Second Southern War led to the First Near Haradrim Civil War and made the war against Isengard possible.

## Before Birth

Sudry Knotwise was raised in the town of Bree by his father, Wilibald Knotwise. Wilibald's origins are unknown but is known to be half hobbit on his father's side. He moved there because of it's mixed human, hobbit population and he was too tall to be a hobbit, but to short to be a human so he fit right it. His mother was a ranger, who happened to be short for a human. Sudry's parent's met one night at an inn called The Prancing Pony in Bree. Every week his mother would return to Bree for a drink and every week his father would join her. Eventually Wilibald proposed to Sudry's mother and they married and had a child, Sudry.

## Early Life

When Sudry was age 14(He is only half-human so he ages slower than the average human, his maturity is the same as a ten year old human), Sudry's mother was called to fight in an unnamed war(If you know of a good war to go here please suggest) that she never returned from. For the nine years following Sudry was raised solely by his father and watched him open his own tavern, the Rowdy Rooster. At the age of 23(maturity = twenty year old) Wilibald was killed by a Gundabad Uruk in an invasion on Bree. After this event Sudry became the sole owner of the Rowdy Rooster and met Ranger inhabitants of Bree such as **Combobob** and **JimmyPage13**.

## Ranger Life

At age 24 Sudry decided it was time to follow in the way of his mother and, with the permission of **Elendil\_The\_Tall**, became a ranger recruit. After doing a quest for his friend, **JJofJ**, Sudry was accepted by **Skelesam**, the chieftain of Arnor, as a true Ranger. After this happened Sudry began work with **JJofJ** on the creation of a new Ranger City to be ruled by **JJofJ**.

***And thus we are now caught up with the life of Sudry Knotwise.***
ThrewineD

The player known as ThrewineD is recognised as the Ambassador of Rohan. He lives in a labyrinth of an underground house, which is only visible as a small cabin hidden in a grove.

## Threwine's History

In the year Third Age 2991, in Edoras, the citizens known as Gróling and Emya Dárga gave birth to a soon-to-be traveler, Threwine. After growing up in the city of Edoras with Eomer by his side, he travelled to the Bree-lands for combat training. He left a few years later and settled a small home in a grove in Western Rohan. A town began nearby, and there he met the love of his life, Raléygh Fréalo. They got married within the following year, but another year into the marriage, tragedy struck. When travelling the Forest Road through Mirkwood, they were ambushed by Orcs of Dol Guldur. She was stabbed with a poison dagger, and died in Threwine's arms at home. Her tomb currently resides in Denburg, close to Threwine's home. Stricken by grief, he began travelling and forging alliances, fulfilling her dying hope of lasting bonds between factions.

## Current Projects

Threwine is currently dedicated to helping Elder Arantoer the Second of Gondor to finishing construction of the White City of Minas Tirith. Also, he is one of the builders of the Cathedral of Forodwaith, under the name of the Church of Ekkaia.

### The Church of Ekkaia

At the northernmost point of Middle-earth, a cathedral stands in Forodwaith. Built by old frontiersmen and conquistadors, the old chantry has a distinctive style of Arnor and Black Gondor Brick. Legend has it that deep beneath the lapis-adorned floor lies a secret tunnel to the Caverns that would be better left forgotten.

### Duninen

The Western Water-port of Duninen is a friendly stronghold to the High Elves and the Galadhrim. Inspired by Eregion, this port is truly a window to the West.
Karseius II. The Great

**Karseius II**. or **Karseius The Great** was the fourth and last Serpentlord of the Old Empire in Near Harad. He was one of the longest ruling Serpentlord until that point and led his empire through conflicts with Gondor and a civil war. Near the end of his life he transformed the empire into the Principalities of Near Harad.

## Origin

Karseius II. was the son of Karseius I. The Elder who was the first Serpentlord of Near Harad. After his father's misterious demise he grew up in the Zarak region due the unstable situation his father left with his death in Near Harad.

As he came of age he returned to Near Harad where he took the throne of the Old Empire.

## Legacy

Karseius II. is concidered the most impactful Serpentlord of the Old Empire. His first half of his reign was dominated by success. He expanded Old Ain al-Harad to the biggest city on the continent and made shaped the Old Empire to become the most important power in the region, even surpassing Gondor.

This changed during the second half of his reign, after Near Harad lost the First Southern War with Gondor and it's allies. After this the empire suffered internal conflicts which resulted in the First Near Harad Civil War.

During the Principalities Karseius II. domintated the region from Ain al-Harad to keep the already confliting city states together. His death during the mysterious Doom of Old Ain al-Harad left Near Harad in a state of civil war which would later give rise to the New Empire.

Therefore Karseius II. memory is often disputed. While some people think of him as one of the greatest rulers in Near Haradrim History, others concider him responsible for the demise of the Old Empire as well as the break up of the Principalities of Near Harad.

Kingdom of Rhudaur

## History

The kingdom of Rhudaur was originally formed by TheSmileBC on July 18th 2015 but collapsed following his decision to take the Wood-Elven throne. The faction was refounded when Catfishperson was appointed King of Rhudaur by Faylynn in February 2016 and Frank\_Scouter formed his own rival Rhudaur faction on March 13th 2016. Both ultimately went inactive and they were succeeded by xXGloimXx. During this period the Kingdom of Rhudaur served as founding members of the Alliance of Northern Evil Powers and joined the Dark Alliance while establishing the city of Amon Rhudaur.

xXGloimXx was replaced by Caradoc\_Blood\_Axe in the waning days of 2016 and Caradoc\_Blood\_Axe was asked to merge with Angmar under Er\_Murazor. Caring little about the political games of Middle-Earth, Caradoc accepted and became a vassal of Angmar.

## Strongholds

**Amon Rhudaur:** Amon Rhudaur was the first stronghold of the kingdom of Rhudaur, originally planned by king XxGloimxX, it's building really started with Caradoc's arrival to power, Amon rhudaur is reminiscent of

the new Rhudaur building style, half way between the hillman building style and Rhudaur's dunedain building style, Amon Rhudaur makes the connection between coldfell and ettenmoors, even though there's not any bridges or roads yet, a little village is starting to develop around the fortress.

Julianroma (Ansgar)

Ansgar is the steward of the Southern Tauredain. He has been in a wide variety of factions, 9 total.

### Early Life

When Ansgar entered Middle-Earth, seven days after the server's launch, he decided to be a Dunedain Ranger. He quickly traveled to Eriador and fended off an invasion of Gundabad orcs with a trusty iron sword. He soon became in contact with two Gondorians, named Eldehir and DMNM. They led him to Mering Stream, where he became a member of Gondor. One day, he stumbled across Dorguz, the original Uruk-Hai. In panic, he struck the orc with an arrow and fled. He never forgot the encounter with Dorguz to this day. He helped them with quests and such, and started the construction of the earliest version of Minas Tirith in late 2014. Eventually, Eldehir and DMNM became inactive and he became a Rohirrim under Brenno420. For a while, they worked on a Rohirric fortress. He heard tales of Harad, the great southern continent, and how many dared to voyage into the Deserts, Savannas, Jungles and volcanos.

### Becoming an Elf

After a while, he converted and became a Lindon High elf for a short period of time, eventually coming to the lands of Hhisme near the Misty Mountains in Enedwaith, where he lived out most of his life in 2015. He decided to switch to being a Dol Amroth Swan Knight for a bit, and constructed a city near Edhellond called Thinglodin, a project now abandoned. He then became aware of the Herenyar elves, a cult of elves on Tol Morwen, the Easternmost Island. But this Golden Age of the Herenyar did not last, as they collapsed. A former member of the Herenyar, BDdeuce, became the Avar leader, and Ansgar decided to join the Avar.

### Life in and after the Avari

Ansgar, Eol and a man named Thea together made the capital of the Avari. They built a port and a grand palace, until Ansgar decided (yet again) to leave the Avari for the wonders of Harad. He became Gondor again for a short time while he traveled through the Deserts and fertile of Harad to reach the Jungle, where he planned to join Eol's brother, Trey the Great, king of the Tauredain. Eventually, after months of travel, he reached the jungle, and together they
created a city named Toldaire on southern Tol Hith. It is still being built today.

### Kinopai's Destruction

A while after setting up a base at Toldaire, the defecting Moredain king decided to lay waste to Toldaire, burning and blowing it up. The Moredain and Tauredain were enemies once more, but in present day, they are now allies. Kingopai had burned the Watchtower and countless huts, as well as stole from the Arena.

### Present Day

Right now, Ansgar and Trey have wrapped up a cold war with the Astrasi Northern Tauredain, and after being pressured and blackmailed by Rohan's Mewarmy, he released a statement about the war preparations ending. The Tauredain could use some recruits, and if anyone is willing to join it, please contact Ansgar.
