Merry Meeting to you all!
Now that we are all assembled, I can lay out some further plot and expectations for everyone's delectation.
This is a tale of high tragedy that the two leads will not survive and possibly neither will the two squires. As such, light moments will not be the norm, but only as might occur in usual conversation. Do your best to get to know your character, his/her background, skills, old stories....anything that will lend a "reality" to that character.
This is a good chance to learn more on the Last Alliance, Elvish,whatever. If there are issues you want explored, PM me and where valid, I'll try to include them. Above all, get to know each other and try to stay true to the "feel" of Tolkien.
From where the RPG starts to where it ends on the plain of Dagorlad, nearly anything imginable can happen around the basic guts of the plot, so don't be afraid to suggest things....which brings me the basic plot.
Melost,Arthain and squires will be journeying to Imladris where they will meet up with Melost's betrothed in order to escort she and other women of Imladris to Lorien. From there things go down-hill rapidly. The friends break from in each other in anger, Melost nearly dies and is found by a band of outlaws, Arthain and squires return the their respective armies and proceed with them to the battle Plain, Melost adventures with the outlaws, re-joins the armies and basically after a grand death-scene, that's the deal. Go forth and kick some literary butt!
