Title: Dark Seduction

Basic Storyline:

The Haradrim have long worshipped the Dark Lord, and now, in the 3008 year of the Third Age, their "god" is in need of followers. The War of the Ring has begun. The Dark Citadel, the central focus of the Dark Religion (as it is known) has decided that they must aid "the all-powerful". The dark priestess, Sevora the Red Flame, and two of the dark priests have been chosen to travel through the harsh desert lands of the Haradwaith into the deep south. There, nomadic tribes of men inhabit the desolate land.

But the tribesmen are a stubborn race of barbarians. Resistance is to be expected. And the desert lands are a dangerous land, the "holy ones" will need an escort. A notice has been sent around the city of Umbar; it is full of warriors. But who wishes to travel into the desert to face the wrath of the nomads? Seven warriors of the Haradrim are willing to serve The Eye in this way.

The purpose of the story is to: Reach the camp of a large nomadic tribe of men in the outlands, and seduce converts to the Dark Religion. Some of the tribesmen (mainly the younger ones) will turn to The Eye, while others will refuse. The tribe will split, and the priestess, priests, Haradrim warriors, and converts must eradicate the majority of the tribe that resists the temptation of the Dark Religion. After all are dead or fleeing in terror, the converts will be led back to Umbar, and those involved will be greatly honored and awarded.
_____________________________________________

This means we will know the story is over when:

The resisting tribesmen have been eradicated or have fled.

Starting Location: The Dark Citadel in the City of Umbar

Likely destination: The camp of a nomadic desert tribe in the outlands, south of Harad.

Timeframes:

i) This game takes place in the Third Age at around year 3008.

ii) The storyline itself or plot covers fifteen days. Six days to reach the camp, a week of preaching, two days of battle.

iii) This game requires a time commitment of 10 weeks from me, the game owner and from the major players.
