AGAIN - CHARACTERS NEEDED:

Main Characters:

2 Dunedain, Rangers of the North - males only (We will meet these two at the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree – they can have the latest news of the stirrings in the countryside; they were the ones who sent the message alerting Elessar.)

NOTE: First Posts for Rangers – Can be about traveling to Bree/arriving at The Prancing Pony from the North Downs (about 100 miles north of Bree and Weathertop where they have heard a number of stories of attacks on farms and travelers in the area – vague stories of Orcs and wolves and bigger things . . .) They arrive at The Prancing Pony just before Envinyatar’s and Nuranar’s party gets there

• 1.) 1 Ranger of the North needed – male
  
  
• 2.) 1 Ranger of the North needed - male

2 Men:

• 1.) 1 Concerned farmer from Bree needed
  
  NOTE: First Post for Bree farmer - can be about coming into the Inn in Bree and hearing about one of your relative’s farm (lives a way up north in the North Downs) having a good deal of their sheep taken and a few other tales from other patrons in the Inn. He can come into the Prancing Pony while the two Rangers are there – so he will be there when Envinyatar’s and Nuranar’s party arrives.
  
  
• 2.) 1 Man of Rohan needed
  
  Gives them additional news of happenings in the northwest, and decides to travel with them. NOTE: First Post for Man of Rohan – See Nuranar’s 4th Post for the Game for your lead in – you can offer the group your services and ask to go with them.

2 Elves from Rivendell - male and female They will meet up with Nuranar’s, Envinyatar’s, and the man from Rohan’s characters at a small Inn at Tharbad – where the Greyflood River meets the North South Road (also called The Greenway) and travel from there to Bree. They can bring us news from the Angle, which is near Rivendell, about any increased activity the Rangers in that area have noticed, e.g. an increase of Troll activity.)

NOTE: First Posts for Elves – You have just arrived at the small Inn at Tharbad – The Trade Inn. It might be nice to have a cool drink, discuss your journey briefly, then note the imminent arrival of a Ranger, two Elves, and a man from the Riddermark just down the dusty path.

• 1.) 1 Elf from Rivendell needed – male
  
  
• 2.) 1 Elf from Rivendell needed – female

About Elves in Shire RPG's:

Please use this description from Tolkien when crafting an Elf:

Return of the King – Appendix F: Tolkien’s description for the Quendi (The Speakers) – the name given to the Elves by themselves after they first awoke in Middle-earth.

“They were a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as Kings, who now are gone: the People of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars. They were tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finrod; and their voices had more melodies than any mortal voice that is now heard . . .”

Please use this as a guideline for describing your Elven character’s appearance.

Secondary Characters:

NOTE: First Posts for the ‘bad guys’ – For now – just give us your Character Descriptions. We will PM you a little behind the scenes plot the Orcs have cooked up with the others – Envinyatar will play the part of the Man from Bree who is in cahoots with the Orcs. He’ll send you a little lead in post for your plotting to begin.

• 1.) 1 Orc chieftain from The Misty Mountains who controls a troop of Orcs (the writer will play this group of Orcs.)
  
  
• 2.) 1 Second in command to the Orc chieftain needed (will also play the group of Orcs)
  
  
• 3.) Fen Sheperdspurse - Man from Bree (a Bill Ferny Type) who is a spy for the Orc chieftain – Envinyatar will play this character
  
  
• 4.) 2 Trolls (writers for these will play their own characters, and one other troll they can invent to carry along with them, for which they don’t need full Character Bios)
  
  
  • 1.) Troll needed
    
    
  • 2.) Troll needed
