Dark Council

The Dark Council was the original evil alliance of Middle-Earth, encompassing all Evil factions and containing a council, headed by the Dark Lord, that was invested with expansive powers.

## History

In the dawn of the server Isengard and Near Harad served as the foremost bastions of the shadow while the other evil factions were week and divided. Over time players friendly to Isengard strengthened Mordor, Angmar, Dol Guldur and Gundabad. This block became known as the Morgul Alliance, the Black Empire, or the Black Council, and was headquartered at Caradhras.

Near Harad, meanwhile, formed Umbar, the Moredain, the Half-Trolls, and Mordor into the Astrasi Empire on July 31st 2015. The inclusion of Mordor, which had only days before been a Black Council faction, resulted in the Black Council threatening to declare war. Peace talks ultimately prevailed and the Astrasi Empire joined the alliance in early September, which was renamed to the Dark Council.

Legodude279 of Isengard was named the Dark Lord of the Dark Council and established Evil City at Old South Road. A council of all evil leaders was established which had the ability to remove evil leaders and declare war. This made the Dark Council one of the most centralized alliances in history.

The Dark Council moved to the defense of Umbar when it was invaded by the Union of Numenor. They were unable to prevent the fall of Umbar but on November 17th 2015 joined Umbar in rising up against Numenorean rule and retaking the majority of their Kingdom. On February 25th 2016 The\_Haze rose to power in Dunland and joined the Dark Council although his rule would later collapse.

Ultimately, the Dark Council came to an end as a result the Dark Council learning that the Khaganate, which was led by several senior Dark Council players, was not joining the Dark Council. After a heated argument on May 27th 2016 they not only refused to join the Council but also informed Sebrom of Mordor that he was widely distrusted by the Council, causing Sebrom to withdraw Mordor as well.

Having lost not only some of their most influential players but also one of their most iconic factions the Dark Council split into chaos as each leader blamed another for the disastrous turn of events. Council members grew distrustful of the Council and began rapidly withdrawing, leaving Evil faced with a complete collapse of their unity. SpadeCompany, the new Isengard ruler, ultimately organized the remaining factions into the new Dark Alliance, which consisted of all of the previous factions with the exception of Mordor but with a much more decentralized government.

Northern War

The Northern War was one of the first wars of the server. It resulted in the establishment of the Dwarves of Durins City and Gundabad retreating to Mount Caradhas.

## Factions Involved

* The Forces of Evil
	+ Gundabad (Led by Bubbaret)
	+ Angmar (Led by King\_Tulkas)
* The Forces of Good
	+ High Elves (Led by coolseb1000/Glaedir/MG)
	+ Blue Dwarves (Led by SquatchThunder)
	+ Rangers of the North (Led by Hells\_Meticullus)

## War

Following the declaration of war by the allied armies, an army of Orcs descended on Fornost, hoping to take the fight to the allies. The coalition was able to reach the city in time to beat the orcish army back, however, and they were forced to withdraw to the mountains.

The coalition went on the offensive, and advanced on High Pass. Hoping to deal a crushing defeat and beat back the invaders here, King\_Tulkas and Bubbaret assembled their forces on the pass. The ensuing battle was a stalemate, but Bubbaret chose to withdraw his forces to Mount Gundabad.

The coalition then advanced on Mount Gundabad itself. It was here that the allies finally won the decisive victory that they had been hoping for. Frustrated, Bubbaret and his remaining Lieutenants fled the Mountains, never to be seen again.

## Aftermath

Following the siege of Mount Gundabad the faction was left depopulated, with SirWilsonGS being the only player remaining. He sold the mountain to the Dwarves on October 19th 2014 for a small amount of coin before fleeing south to Mount Caradhas where he rebuilt the orcish armies. The Dwarves of Durins City were also established who built a city on Mount Gundabad before expanding to nearby areas such as Mount Gram.
Smaland

Smaland was a faction in Northern Breeland led by Kingopai1. They were allied with the Northshire Republic, Herenyar Elves, and Near Harad.

## History

The 3 Smaland players originally moved to the Entwash after leaving Lindon, where they founded the Kingdom of the Golden Wash under the leadership of Kingopai1. The project swiftly collapsed and in early June 2015 Kingopai1 moved his people to Northern Breeland, where he established the nation of Smaland.

Alliances were quickly forged with the Herenyar Elves, who they had had relations with while in Lindon and the nearby Northshire Republic.They established the city of Smaland and soon formed a Union with the Northshire Republic, adopting the Shire Protestant Reformed Church. The Smaland South Trading Company was also established with the goal of extracting resources from Far Harad and to streamline their operations they allied with Near Harad. A fourth player also joined Smaland during this period,

Following the Battle of Dunland and the conclusion of the NSR-Dunland War on June 24th 2015 the Northshire Republic rapidly collapsed, leaving Smaland isolated. This isolation only got worse when the Herenyar collapsed. Kingopai and his followers spent increasingly large amounts of time in the south, building outposts and harvesting raw materials, and on October 8th 2015 Kingopai1 was offered rulership of the Moredain by his Astrasi Empire allies. Kingopai1 quickly agreed and abandoned his Northern Bree territories permanently.

## Constitution:

Men of Bree and of Far Beyond

These are your rights,

No form of slavery is allowed

No illegal acts or doing

No judging people by anything.

National Anthem: Ye march to war for your country when of this land!

Ye men, Ye men, you march, to war

**Sapphire Therase Keating** (legally Keating-Evans; born 5 June 199X) is one of the main protagonists of the Animatron Studios series Murder by Pixels, and the series' viewpoint character. An 18-year-old Internet geek, Sapphire works alongside her friend Harry Payne as a consulting detective for the Jacksonville Police Department, helping Lieutenant Matthew Hawke to solve various murders while also struggling with her own depression and anxiety.

Sapphire is considered one of Nurse's most developed and unique characters, though has been criticized by some for being "over-developed". She is also significant as Nurse's first LGBT character, and is currently the only LGBT protagonist of any of his works.

## Biography

### Early life

Sapphire was born in the fictional city of Jacksonville, Missouri, as the only child of Tara Keating, an Irish immigrant. Sapphire's father, Allan Davison, walked out on Tara when he found out she was pregnant, and Tara was left to raise Sapphire alone until three years prior to the start of the series, when she began dating divorcee Michael Evans. The two later married, moving in with Michael and Tiffany, his daughter from his first marriage.

At the age of fourteen, Sapphire began to suffer from chronic depression and anxiety, eventually escalating into self-harm. With the help of a psychiatrist, and the support of her family and her new-found online friends, Sapphire gave up self-harming at age 16 and had made an almost total recovery by age 17, but still occasionally suffers brief relapses and remains shy around strangers.

By the start of the series, Sapphire had already come out to her family as a lesbian; they both accept and support her sexuality.

## Appearance

Sapphire is 165cm tall (roughly 5ft 5in), and weighs just 91lbs, a lasting symptom of her battle with depression. She has short black hair, with pink highlights dyed into her fringe, and green eyes. Her outfit varies, but she almost always wears black fingerless gloves that extend to her elbow, in order to hide the faint scars from her self-harming - she claims the gloves are to treat carpal tunnel syndrome.

Having been raised by her Irish mother, Sapphire speaks with a distinct Irish accent when at home, and a diluted Irish accent at most other times. When around unfamiliar people, however, she reverts to a Midwestern American accent.

## Appearances in other media

Sapphire will appear as an unlockable playable character in the crossover fighting game *When Worlds Collide*.

## Trivia

* Sapphire was originally intended to be heterosexual and in a relationship with Harry. Nurse decided that this was too cliché and changed Sapphire first to be bisexual, and then to be lesbian.
* Sapphire's middle name, Therase, is that of Nurse's mother.
Harad-Dwarven War

The Harad-Dwarven War was a war which was fought between Near Harad and the Blue Dwarves that started on October 4th 2017. It ended in a stalemate on December 2nd 2017.

## Beginnings

The start of the war came when MandatoryPeanut of Harad assassinated SquatchThunder, High King of the Dwarves. Furious, Squatch declared war, and was soon backed by the Dwarven kingdoms of Khazad-Dum, Forochel, and Erebor as well as the Rangers of the North. Squatch's hopes of earning the unanimous support of the Dwarves was thwarted by the Grey Dwarves's treaty with Near Harad; the Iron Hill ruler, LlianB, believing that Squatch had no true justification for war; and Lavernius\_Tucker, a senior Red Dwarf, having a base illegally close to Ajtiaz-al-Harad and having agreed to keep his faction neutral in exchange for the base being allowed to remain.

Elsewhere within the Free Peoples the Mallorn Council still had a policy of neutrality, the Woodmen had all but collapsed, Dale held a treaty with Harad, Gondor was struggling with internal strife, and Rohan was in the midst of severe inactivity.

On the Near Haradrim side, Gundabad refused to join the war due to the Treaty of Moria with the Dwarves, Mordor was involved in a cold-war with the Astrasi due to Mordor's involvement in the Kings Men plot, and relations were still tenuous with the Moredain following their withdrawal from the Astrasi. Dol Guldur, Angmar, and Isengard were beset with civil issues so Near Harad could expect no aid save that from its fellow Astrasi factions of Umbar and the Half-Trolls.

## War

#### Siege of Harnen

The first battle of the war was the Siege of Harnen, the capital of Near Harad, on October 13th 2017. The city was defended by only stevethebuffalo, Lavkin1, and Er\_Murazor, while the Dwarves had a force of 11 fighters assembled. Two defenders fell in a desperate attempt to hold the city while the third fled.

#### Siege of Ajtiaz-al-Harad

With Harnen under their control, SquatchThunder now marched to take the Astrasi capital of Ajtiaz with 16 soldiers on November 10th 2017. Astrasi Empress Shamiir assembled a mighty army to defend her city, and although the Dwarven forces launched a fierce assault, they were defeated and forced to retreat back to Harnen.

## End

Following the Siege of Ajitiaz-al-harad, High-King SquatchThunder and Empress shamiir began talks to end the war. These talks accumulated in the December Treaty of Harnen, which was signed on December 2nd 2017 and saw the return of Harnen to Harad, a Non-Aggression Pact, and a payment of 10,000 coins to the Dwarves.
The Alliance of Northern Evil Powers

The Alliance of Northern Evil Powers (ANEP) was an alliance of the evil factions founded in June 2016 that was situated in the North of Middle-Earth. It was headquarted at Mount Gram as the fortress lay along the border of Gundabad, Rhudaur, and Angmar.

## History

The ANEP was founded by Gundabad, Dol Guldur, Angmar, and Rhudaur as a counter balance to the pan-Haradric Astrasi Empire, and along with them served as one of the two major power blocks within the Dark Alliance. Over time Rhudaur was integrated into Angmar, and on February 8th 2018 Angmar abandoned the ANEP for the Astrasi Empire, effectively reducing it to a personal union of Dol Guldur and Gundabad.

## Cities Planned

The cities planned to be built and ruled by the Lossedhil are listed bellow:

Taniquetil: Not really a city just the mountain that Manwe's halls are on. In lore, the Vanyar decided to live on the mountains slopes. However, Tirion will still be the capitol of the Vanyar and will not be abandoned.

Tirion: Capitol of the Vanyar. Help from other elves would be much appreciated with this one. In lore, the Vanyar and the Noldor founded it.
PolarClad: Lost Tales of TOS

It began many years ago at the dawn of the Fourth Age...

A young ambitious Dunedain ranger yearning for adventure has finally reached his destination... Erebor. A mighty kingdom with a lavish realm swelling with rich history. As he approached the massive gate, a guard clad in Ereborian plate armor confronted him.

After being questioned and disarmed he was taken into the city for further investigation. It was very unusual for a Dunedain ranger to be this far east. Especially considering the heated tension up north at the time.

The young ranger was brought before the throne of Thorin\_the\_King himself.

Thorin said to the ranger in a stern manner: Before we begin the council investigation. I would like to know something first.

Thorin took a pause and then asked: What is your name?

Dunedain ranger: My name.. is PolarClad.

Thorin\_the\_King: Have why you come?

PolarClad: My tribe was erradicated in a Gundabad ambush. I wish to serve as a mercenary for the seventh kingdom of Durin's Folk. My skills are worth more here than in Eriador during these dark times.

Thorin\_the\_King: I shall discuss this matter with the council, thank you.

On that day, PolarClad was admitted into the city guard of Erebor. Many months passed since then, as time passed Polar began to fit into the culture of Durin's Folk.

Erebor had been at peace for a long time and their wealth and military power had grown tremendously. But it could not last forever...

Slowly the days turned sour and the watchful nights closed in. A sickness had begun to grow within the land, in the crops and the pine trees. An ill-fated breath from the north creeped in during the late summer.

It was a rather chilly afternoon, Polar and the city guard had just returned from their patrol. They decided to take a rest at the bridge before they headed into the city. Polar was content with his new home, but he still felt that he did not feel completely comfortable.

In the distance there came number of riders with dust clouds behind the hooves of their horses... a few of the other soldiers made their way towards the riders for the normal greeting procedure. But this encounter would be like no other Polar had experienced.

Lothlorien Civil War

The Lothlórien Civil War was a civil war fought between November 24th 2020 and January 6th 2022. It was fought by Lothlorien loyalists, led by Orchidcube and FlyingCow2, and rebels led by Bomber01 and Drakerla.

Lady Orchidcube had ruled the realm of Lothlórien for many years but over time grew inactive and rarely played. During this time Bomber01, a wealthy and popular player, gained influence within Lothlórien. After Orchidcube refused to resign, Bomber01 declared open rebellion on November 24th 2020. Bomber and his deputy Drakerla held the support most of the newer members while Orchid was supported by the faction’s old guard as well as FlyingCow2, a powerful warrior who disliked Bomber.

Battle lines began to be drawn across the server with. In general, evil factions, Rivendell, and Rohan sided with Bomber while the Mallorn Council served as staunch Orchid loyalists and the servers remaining good factions tried to remain neutral. Ultimately both sides agreed not to draw in allies and keep the conflict an internal affair.

A video of the battle can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhnVbtFFc5k.

Derpyherro

## Derpiest of derpies

On a bright day in the Shire, a not so bright, rainbow, shiny being appeared. Derpyherro was here! This jolly lad heard of this ancient realm and travelled here to begin his real journey. Derpyherro wanted to be apart of Arda, and he was here to stay. He travelled about the Shire, minding the Hobbits's business. He ventured to the south and kept going till he reached Gondor, for derpy wished to be apart of the kingdom of the white tree. Little did he know things would go differently from there…

## The Riders of the Mark

Now derpy was a silly lad, before he reached the gap of Rohan he had slain some orcs to gain a name and had attracted unwanted attention. Uruks were upon him! He ran for his pitiful life and charged until he found a camp. The Fords of Isen were fortified by the Rohirrim and derpy couldn't get in with all these horse banners. Luckily, littlefiredog lord of Firchester came in time and helped derpy. He helped gather iron for him and derpy learned how to properly defend himself. Derpy was impressed by this tremendous friendliness yet fieriness. He knew what choice he really should take. That day derpyherro spend the whole of his time becoming a rider of the mark.

## The Base

Derpy was happy and prosperous, everyday he went out to mine stacks of iron and turn it into dwarven steel and other crafts. Though he knew he couldn't stay at the camp or at Firchester. Derpy needed a base. Initially no thought had gone into it but after he spotted a grand fortress in between Edoras and Grimslade. He knew where home would be. For the next few years, derpy had build up this fortress and fought of invasions and sieges! Even being kicked out of his house once! But derpy never gave up. His fort was a beacon of light for tired rohirrim that were chased by the white hand. He had travelled the land of Rohan and seen many great sights! The fort of the Hornburg, the capital of Edoras, the recruiter of the Fords of Isen, the megapolis of Firchester & the municipitality of the Mering Stream base!

## Captain of the Guard

One of them stood out of the others, the camp at Fords of Isen was too desolate. The Hornburg wasn't finished. Edoras was being cleared out. Firchester was too small. That left only one option… the Mering Stream! Everything derpy needed and wanted was within this mightly city. The most ancient of battles have be fought here and won by the rohirrim. If they can succeed in battle, can they not succed it power? Derpy travelled there and talked to Jamez, the lord of the Mering Stream. He seeked opportunity here, a bed and roof, a job, maybe an actual home. derpy was tired of the constant soldiers surrounding him and giving him quests. He wanted to actually be a Rohirrim. By that time derpy had finally became a rohirric hero and he was willing to properly serve Rohan. Jamez who had heard of derpy for a while, decided to promote derpy to, Captain of the Guard. Derpy would not fail his lord and is now a land owner in the Mering stream along with being the co-leader of the Mering Stream.

Durin's Folk-Mordor War

The Durins Folk-Mordor War was a war fought between August 23rd 2021 and December 26th 2021. It ended in a white peace.

## Background

Throughout the summer of 2021 there was a series of arguments and disagreements between the leader of the Kingdom of Durins Folk, Gilead\_, and many of the evil factions on the server. As a result, on August 23rd 2021, Mordor officially declared war on the Kingdom of Durin's Folk. The dwarves were rapidly joined by allies from the Dwarven Council as well as the Council of the White Tree and the Council of Calion while Mordor was joined by their Shadow Confederacy allies in addition to elements of the Alliance of the Rising Sun. Continued bad-blood stemming from the recent Taurethrim-Mordor War resulted in no other shadow factions joining the war on behalf of Mordor.

## War

#### Battle of Rhun

An army of the shadow was raised in Rhudel and they marched northwest against the Kingdom of Durins Folk, placing themselves in a position where they could either assault Erebor or take the fortress of South Gate and march on West Peak. Rather than be forced to defend both positions, the Free Peoples marched out and engaged them on October 3rd 2021. The ensuing 11v11 was one of the closest sieges in server history but ended in a victory for Durin's Folk and her allies.

A video of the siege can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vx-ZS0JSfU.

The Corsairs of the Nawfal

## History

The Corsairs of the Nawfal were founded by Master\_Treebeard, the Squire of Lord Elizaer of Rohan. Tired of the various intrigues and infighting that occurred within Rohan, Treebeard moved to the Bay of Belfalas with two players and founded the Corsairs of the Nawfal on an island known as Firyal in the bay. He later recruited a 4th member and built a small fort known as Yemen near Tharbad

Second Rohirric-Uruk War

The Second Rohirric-Uruk War was a war waged between the Kingdom of Rohan and Isengard. It started on February 22nd 2021 and raged until April 4th 2021.

## History

### Background

Following the ascension of HarrMac as King of Rohan on October 16th 2020, Rohan began growing stronger. To prove their newfound might, HarrMac declared war on its regional rival of Isengard. Isengard called for its allies of Dol Guldur, the Moredain, and Gundabad, but no other evil factions agreed to join Oreo due to various disputes he had been involved in. HarrMac, confident in victory, called for no allies.

### Battle of the Fords of Isen

On March 7th 2021, the Rohirric army launched an invasion of Isengard. Isengard's forces met them at the Fords of Isen but were defeated and Rohan occupied a swath of Uruk territory. A video of the battle can be found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxb75ZiX-MY&list=PLCPHkiV59ddTFdwklMbAMXe24KUNpyLPP&index=85

### Later Raids

Following the battle of the Fords of Isen, the second in command of Isengard, S\_Ghost\_Riley, led a raid against Edoras on March 28th 2021. They were repulsed and Rohan counterattacked with a successful raid against Orthanc. These defeats led to conflict between S\_Ghost\_Riley and Isengard's ruler, Oreo365, cumulating in S\_Ghost\_Riley's departure to Angmar. A number of other Isengard players defected to Rohan.

### Conclusion

With Isengard stricken from internal conflict and its military too weak to defeat Rohan, HarrMac offered Oreo365 a truce. Isengard paid Rohan 100k in exchange for an end to the war with Isengard being given a week to raise further funds to purchase back the land seized.

Gondorian Civil War

The First Gondorian Civil War was an early event on the server that helped to shape the Kingdom of Gondor. The civil war broke out after the division of Gondor and a dispute between the two Gondorian kings.

## Prehistory

Prior to the war Gondor was ruled by co-kings TackleToWin and RedExtremeXD. Gondor quickly fell into decay and on November 5th 2014 b\_boymasterman, the powerful Lord of Southern Rohan, claimed the throne. King Tackle stepped aside and granted him Minas Tirith but RedExtremeXD refused to step aside.

The factions on the server quickly took sides. Gondor's allies of Rohan, Arnor, and the High-Elves desired a powerful Gondorian faction that could support its interests and threw their support behind b\_boymasterman while Evil\_Mogwai of Dunland had became friends with b\_boymasterman while they were neighbors in Rohan and supported him as well. RedExtreme, meanwhile, was backed by SquatchThunder of the Blue Dwarves and TheOneGoran of Lothlorien, who believed that the takeover was illegitimate.

The evil factions of Near Harad and Isengard took no side, believing it to be an affair of the Free Peoples. As Gundabad, Angmar, and the Wood-Elves had all effectively collapsed these were the only nations of Middle-Earth. A treaty was reached on November 10th 2014 in which RedExtreme would retain southern Gondor while b\_boymasterman would take control of the northern half, which included both Minas Tirith and Osgiliath.

## War

Despite the treaty, however, b\_boymasterman was intent on uniting all of Gondor at all costs. He formed an alliance with Karseius of Near Harad, promising him the right to build a harbor in southern Gondor as well as withdrawing Gondor's claim to Harondor in return for his support. Karseius agreed, and b\_boymasterman declared war.

RedExtremeXD, boxed in by Northern Gondor to the North, Near Harad to the South, and overwhelmed by b\_boymasterman's allies, surrendered and b\_boymasterman took full control of Gondor.

This page is meant to display mutliple kinds of maps, each with a different theme.

Note that I made these maps according to (sometimes outdated) wikia pages, info gotten from players and other sources. Without a doubt, people will disagree about a mulitude of things, since not all border disputes have been sorted and on other themes like religion there isn't a lot of info to find server-wise.

Constructive Critiscm is apreciated and will be noted. Hopefully with people their suggestions and heads-ups all maps will be correct in a matter of time.

Note that the Maps are made on outdated Middle Earth maps, the Mountains of Wind and the Last Desert is not shown for this reason. But since those 2 biomes play no important role in the politics of the server I will not redo the entire map because of them.

Grey Dwarven Civil War

The Grey Dwarven Civil War was a civil war that occured within the Dwarven Kingdom of the Grey Mountains in mid 2016. It was fought between forces loyal to King VetusGeneral and forces loyal to DJMax222.

## Background

The rebellion can be traced back to the reign of aidansebastian, at which time the Grey Dwarves were the most powerful Dwarven faction on the server and one of the most powerful overall. On September 1st 2015 aidan abdicated in favor of Smiturion, who had founded the kingdom with aidan and had served as aidan's heir since the factions conception. Smiturion promptly ran the kingdom into the ground, leaving it desolate and abandoned. The Dwarven Council responded by removing Smit as King on April 8th 2016 and replacing him with VetusGeneral.

Vetus brought back a number of old veterans and recruited a number of new players, bringing the factions population to 20. DJ became the leader of these new players and recruited many more new players. This created a divide within the faction between the Grey Dwarves recruited during the reign of aidan and the newer players recruited during Vetus's reign. Further exacerbating the divide, DJ became a close friend of miner49er876 of the Gladden Fields, a figure despised and seen as a terrorist by the Dwarven Council.

Tensions between the two groups continued to escalate, culminating in DJ being forced out of the faction by Vetus and his city being seized. DJ responded by declaring rebellion, supported by his loyalists within the Greys and with the backing of Gladden.

## Battle of Framsburg

DJ marshalled 6 dwarves and the 7 of them marched on Framsburg, the second city of the Greys and the fortress that guarded the entrance to the capital of Dain's Halls. Defending the city was three dwarves: Lavernius\_Tucker, the greatest warrior of the Greys, zombielord218, Lord of Framsburg, and ADBlackout, a new player who professed loyalty to Vetus.

In the ensuing fighting Lavernius cut down 3 of DJ's men only to be felled by Adb, who had turned to the rebels. Victory for the rebels seemed certain as zombie was left alone against 5 rebels but the Dwarven Council was unwilling to let a kingdom of the dwarves fall to Gladden's allies. Clawstar of the Blues led 5 warriors from the Blues and 2 from the Reds, a total force of 7 dwarves, to fall upon the rebels as they moved to secure the city. The 5 remaining rebels were cut to pieces and scattered.

## Aftermath

The rebellion collapsed following the Battle of Framsburg. DJ and most of his followers joined Gladden while a handful, including ADBlackout, swore fealty to Vetus and remained. Some loyalists like Lavernius\_Tucker left the faction as a result of the devastating civil war. The Greys, losing well over half of their members, would never truly recover and have remained a small faction to this day.
Drúedain

## History

The Druedain were founded by autochthonousTR and his deputy, Mordor\_Sauron on March 15th 2018. They recruited a number of newer players immediately placed pressure on Rohan, who owned the region of Druwaith Laur, and were successful in forcing their King, TheSmileBC, to give them the area. This was because at the time Rohan was at its weakest and he lacked the forces to defend the area.

The Druedain immediately allied with Mordor, but chose to merge with Gondor in order to gain protection against Arnor, and end their support of The\_C\_Hampy who had declared civil war against Auto after all of his players besides Mordor\_Sauron either left the server or were banned. This agreement would last for time, but on May 14th of the same year it was discovered that the Druedain had given information to Mordor, and Gondorian soldiers advanced into Druwaith Laur to seize their land.

The Druedain were supported by the Avari and Umbar, but were unsuccessful in gaining the support of Mordor as they had recently signed a treaty to end their war with gondor. Gondor, meanwhile, was supported by Arnor, Rohan, Dale, and the Wood-Elves. Gondor and their allies opted to attempt to destroy the allies of the Druedain before advancing against them, and were successful in forcing the Avari to back off on their support by briefly besieging Balcaras on May 27th.

Without the Avari behind them, the Druedain lacked the support to hold out against Gondor and auto fled the area.
Eastern Empire-Gondor War

The Eastern Empire-Gondor War is a conflict between the Kingdom of Gondor and the Eastern Empire. It began on January 18th 2021 and ended on March 23rd 2021.

## Belligerents:

#### In support of the Eastern Empire:

* Khand
* Rhudel

#### In support of Gondor:

* Gondor
* Dol Amroth
* Lebennin
* Rohan
* Arnor
* Wind-Dwarves
* Erebor
* Iron Hills
* Forodren Gwaith
* Bree
* Hobbits
* High-Elves
* Blue Dwarves (unofficial)
* Khazad-dûm (unofficial)
* Dorwinion (unofficial)
* Wood-Elves (unofficial)

## History

### Prelude

Following the merger of Khand and Rhudel to form the Eastern Empire, the two nations looked to prove their newfound power. They attemped to trigger a friendly war with certain Free People factions but negotiations were inconclusive leading them to declare war on Gondor, the strongest faction of the free peoples, on January 18th 2021. Gondor was immediately joined in the war by their allies from the Council of Calion and their defense pacts while the Eastern Empire refused the help of their allies.

The declaration led to the abdication of Gondor's already stressed King *LukasFredin* shortly thereafter. New King of Greater Gondor *scarykiwi* quickly took the reins and recognising the opportunity, mended the splintered relations of the Free People factions, by diplomatically uniting the Free People factions into a massive wartime coalition against the server's most hated faction. Although extraordinarily successful as the coalition's grand strategist, revolutionising the way large wars would be coordinated by Free Peoples in the future, the war was decided on the field of battle where battlefield tactics prevailed.

### Battle of the Ithilien Hills:

The armies of the Eastern Empire immediately marched through their ally of Harad to Poros, before cutting north to the fortress of Eastern Osgiliath. Gondor and its allies assembled their forces in the Ithilien Hills and the two armies met in a 22v22 on February 6th 2021. Minutes before the battle was scheduled, the admins switched the spawns of each side. Gondor's strategy and plan, which had depended on using its spawn hill for the height advantage, was now rendered useless. The Eastern Empire changed their strategy from an aggressive one to a passive approach as they now found themselves in starting possession of the better hill. All of Gondor's forces fell in the ensuing battle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ulrdgaey20

### Battle of Ashen Ford:

In retaliation for the loss in the Ithilien Hills, Gondor sent a small force to attack Ashen Ford. A 5v5 erupted on March 20th 2021 and the Eastern Empire was successful in defending their city. A video of the battle can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CfwU0lsZZY&t=222s.

### Conclusion

On March 23rd 2021, Gondor agreed to pay the Eastern Empire 260,000 coins in exchange for a peace treaty. After the majority of the Eastern Empire was banned for cheating a few months later, this money was refunded and war is now seen as largely immaterial and inconsequential.

Rohirric-Rhovanion War

The Rohirric-Rhovanion War was a conflict fought between the two northmen states over the course of February of 2016. It ended in a reconciliation of the northmen peoples.

## Background

In November 2015 the Kingdom of Rhovanion was founded by Lord Lego\_Army as a province of Rohan, at the time led by Icefrone. Over time Lego began increasingly autonomous, constructing Dale with the permission of the Dwarves of Erebor and no longer taking orders from Edoras. Following the return of King mewarmy in early 2016 he declared open war, stating that Dale would be reconquered and once again subjected to Rohirric rule.

Mew was supported by his White Council allies while Lego was backed only by the small, northmen Kingdom of Dorwinion. He did, however, receive the support of mercenaries from the Dark Council who wished to weaken the White Council. Mew especially received support from the nearby Wood-Elves and Dwarves of Erebor, led by TheSmileBC and Thorin\_The\_King respectively.

## War

Mew immediately advanced north at the head of a Rohirric army and laid siege to Dale on February 20th 2016, The city was quickly sacked and its inhabitants slaughtered, but the Dalish reoccupied the city after mew returned home. Mew once again marched on the city, took it by storm, and slaughtered the defenders, but found that he was unable to take control of the city long-term due to server rules.

## Conclusion

The war soon turned into a stalemate as mew was unable to take control of Dale permanently. In the end Rohan rejoined the Council of the Northmen and peace returned to the Northmen realms.
Tarúgel

## History

The Taragul began as Dalish rebels in early September 2018, establishing a fortress near Great Dalish Crossroads and seeking to depose Laeonathan. After one week of fighting, Laeonathan and Thallahhh decided to talk and after some discussion they agreed that there was no space for the Tarugel within the Kingdom of Dale. Thallahhh was informed by Laeonathan that there was a lot free land east of his realm, and so after this meeting, and with supplies from Dale, moved to Rhudel. He briefly attempted to depose Joetatoe of Rhudel but ultimately an agreement was reached in which he was granted Taragal and formed a separate group.

Thallahhh soon grew more ambitious and in mid September 2018 considered renaming themselves to the Wainriders and seizing Balcaras from the Avari, but the plan fell apart. On November 6th 2018 Thallahhh was banned for using Schematica and the Taragul quickly collapsed.

Mikemcc4

## Beginnings

One day Mikemcc4 woke up in the middle of the shire with a large bump on his head, he could not remember anything, well except for a good deal of middle earthen lore and the fact that he was a hobbit (having looked at his feet when he awoke). In his early days, Mikemcc4 wandered the shire with no purpose. He did the odd job around the shire, helping its inhabitants and gained much respect with his neighbours, though he had no permanent dwelling.

Eventually Mikemcc4 found himself wanting to explore middle earth. He had heard a lot about the doings of big folk and wanted to see them himself. So with his meager supplies and provisions he travelled *through* the old forest with a trusty hobbit sheriff who rode a pony. During the day the trip was peaceful and the unfriendly trees did not bother them but when the sun set things started to get difficult. Dark hurons began to follow Mikemcc4 and his companion so they hurried along their way and by dawn they had left the Old Forest and waded into a pool, seeing rangers firing their arrows at something behind him and he looked back to see 5-6 dark hurons following him.

Alfarin IronHand

Alfarin IronHand is the roleplay name for the 3rd king of the red dwarves, and so far the longest king in time over the red dwarves, Wille912.

He joined the server sometime around November or December of 2014, He has spent a lot of his time trying to build a city, but with the amount of resets and lack of players, things tend to go very slow. Wile912 is decent active player and spend a lot of his time on the server trying to build or recruit player to the Red dwarves, but with the long distance to the Red Mountains, recruiting players tend to go very bad.

As being a King he sits in the dwarven council with the other 6 members, He is also one of the oldest dwarven kings.

He wants to build a large city and to have some players under his banner. But most of the players that manage to get there and build a house have a thing to leave their gear and the mountains, leaving the gear to the city.

## Origins and Backstory

Born and raised in the Red Mountains in the city of Khazad-Azgal by his father Gorn II stonefist. Alfarin was at the age of 50 when the quest of Erebor started. He had lost his mother when he was born and had few friends, and he spent most of his time in the forge, forging things that he felt for. When words that Erebor had been taken back by Thorin's company, Alfarin decided to venture west to establish connection between the kingdoms. He arrived just after the battle of the five armies and the funeral of Thorin, Kili and Fili.

He never knew them and spent most of the time there talking and discussing with Dain II Ironfoot about his clans forgiveness for taking Gundabad from Durin's Folk.

When he heard that Balin was planning on retaking Moria he went to see Balin and said that he would follow him to Moria to reclaim it, being so young Balin was not sure to accept him, he did not want him to die like his close friends had. But Alfarin's stubbornness proved to be stronger and was allowed in the end to follow on condition that if he took care of himself and would not slow down the other dwarves.

He followed Balin into the legendary city of Khazad-Dûm and he helped him in the few ways he could, after years with clearing out moria with the dwarves and with the reaching for the west gate, Alfarin took his farewell and left moria to travel to the Blue Mountains. There he meet the High king himself, Durin Broadaxe. With hearing of Balin's death and Fundin II disappearing in Moria along with the expedition Alfarin decided it was time to leave to him home. He wander for a long time alone, muttering for himself as he wanders eastwards. He wandered past Erebor and the Iron Hills and entered the land of Rhûn.

He knew what would await him in Rhûn, greedy and disgusting easterlings. He made his way across Rhûn. As he walked across the plains and the moon shining in the sky. As he walked on the plains he could hear something in the air, as he looked around he saw arrows being shoot into the ground next to him
