Title: Search for the Book

Basic Storyline: A storyteller in the market place of Dale told a tale once of a book that lay in a lone mountain not far from the Iron Mountain. The storyteller said the book contained the histories of a lost race, and spells and medicines they used. An interested Daleswoman in her nearby shop overhears, and decides to find the book, but there is no telling what she and a few companions may encounter, both in the mountain and in the wild.

Purpose of the Story is to: Find the mountain and successfully get the book
and return home.

The story ends when: Players find the book and return home.

Starting location: Dale

Destination: Hopefully they make it to the mountain, and in the end, back to Dale.

Timeframes:
This story takes place in the Middle-years of the Third Age, maybe 100 years before 770 when Smaug invades Erebor and Dale is destroyed.
The plot takes no more than a month and a half, two months at most. The game requires a commitment of a couple of months, not too long, hopefully.

Characters:
Main character types are: Humans of Dale, adventuring types.
Secondary characters may be: Bored Elves of Mirkwood looking for a good adventure.
People who don't belong: Hobbits, Dwarves.

My Character:

I plan on only playing one character, though if necessary I will play dual roles.

Name: Jadae Starfire
Race: Female human of Dale
Age: Eighteen

History: Jadae grew up the daughter of a metal crafter and a trader. She spent many a day sitting on the floor of her da's shop while he forged the metal. Such comfort Jadae found in the fire and the smell of the metals.

Jadae never agreed or got along with her parents, so when she was sixteen she left home. Knowing her love of welding and crafting, she worked many cheap jobs until she saved enough money to buy her own shop. There she worked making daggers, swords, and armor for anyone who had the money.

Personality: Jadae had always been a troublemaker and risk-taker. Still she puts her best foot forward while the other one stands still. Jadae is very impatient. She always looked for a new adventure and a new trail or path to keep her busy and occupied. Jadae often doesn't agree with people, but always has an unchanging opinion on everything. She likes to break the rules and rarely listens unless the topic is of interest to her.

Appearance: Dark, dark brown curly hair falls to Jadae's shoulder blades, and is often tied back while she works. Jadae has cool grey eyes. She wears comfortable breeches and tunics that she doesn't have to worry about dirtying while she works. Jadae had always been tanner than most, coming from her mother’s side. Short, about five feet tall, and slight but strong are words that describe Jadae.

Weapons/Gear: Jadae is not exactly skilled in weaponry or fighting, but any blade that is made by her and used by her finds it's mark, be it the right mark or no. Jadae's horse, Ronan, is always loyal to her. Jadae's most trusted weapon is her wit.
