Thalionyulma invites you to play in:

Mirkwood Endgame RPG

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:

The War of the Ring begins in 3018 Third Age.

At the time of this game, the Necromancer, Sauron, is no longer in Dol Guldur – he was driven out in 2941 Third Age, the same year that Smaug was killed.

Three Nazgul retook Dol Guldur in 2951 Third Age. Armies from Dol Guldur attacked Lorien and the Woodland Realm during the War of the Ring. Dol Guldur was finally torn down after the fall of Sauron when Celeborn took it and Galadriel threw down its wall and cleansed its pits

~*~

From Gilthalion’s introduction to the original game:

The story for this game begins several years before the War of the Ring. The characters will not be aware of the events surrounding that war, since they have not happened yet! Nevertheless, some of the characters from LORD OF THE RINGS are alive and active at the time, so the characters might meet one by chance.

Mirkwood in these days is largely inhabited by the Silvan Elves. There may be some men on the northwest fringes near the valley of the northern Anduin. The Elves of the Golden Wood are far away and have not been seen in many, many years by their distant relatives in the Woodland Realm of Thranduil. The great forest has become unwholesome in many places, especially in the south. Dol Goldur is there, and the Necromancer has been vanquished. Yet, the evil place stands and has been left unguarded since that day...
