All we have to decide is what to do with the time that we are given.
Set in a time after the Dawn of Færie and during the Dominion of Men, it is Year 432 of the Fourth Age. Myrmedion, the Shadowed Foe, dwells in the land of Mordor, hoping to bring forth the spirit of Sauron and Melkor and plunge the world into second darkness. Once again, Middle-earth is preparing itself for the ultimate test against evil.
There can be no triumph without loss. No victory without suffering. No freedom without sacrifice. The legend comes to life, where will you stand against the forces of evil?
Features:
We are a LotR RPG dedicated to sticking as closely to the lore of Tolkien's Middle Earth as possible
We have been around since December 04, 2011 and officially open to the public since September 22, 2012.
We are focused on having fun with plot and character development.
We are advertisement free, have sub-accounts, and more!

The New Shadow - A Lord of The Rings roleplaying game.
You will find adventure or adventure will find you.
Active Plots:
Mirkwood has grown darker with the shadow looming in Dol Guldur. With the conclusion of the council in Rivendell, the Men of Dale and Lake-town, a few of the dwarves of Erebor, and the elves of Mirkwood and their allies in Lórien and Rivendell (as a result of Princess Miluiel's diplomacy) have agreed to join forces in order to protect each of their realms against the enemy's attempt to revenge against Erunestian's decision to go against his proposal.
When: The war will begin on F.A. 432 February 15th (date subject to change) and the duration of the war as of yet is unknown. It's conclusion will depend on character actions as well as involvement. This is the first direct assault from the Shadowed Foe since the Dark Day many years ago.
Who: The elves of Mirkwood, Men of Dale and Lake-town, a few dwarves of Erebor, and any allies of those regions who would have a reason to be there. Warriors and healers are welcome alike.
Where: The war will not be in Mirkwood, it will occur south of Mirkwood on the southern banks of the River Celduin close-by. This event will be directed by our Tolkien account which will be playing out the major moves made by the enemy side. But feel free to make thread set during the event in any of the locations as long as they fit what is happening in the others based on the war (for example, you cannot have a chat in Lake-town if it was burned down the day prior).
Remember a decision will have consequences that could potentially affect the outcome; therefore, be sure to keep up-to-date with everything that happens by checking back on this thread.
If the war against Dol Guldur is lost by the allies (elves, Men, and dwarves), they will either be subject to whatever punishment they must face by the hands of the enemy or they will be forced to flee from Mirkwood for their lives unless they have a good reason to protect them from paying the penalty. Rohan may be at risk as well as a result.
If you would like your character to become involved, feel free to join in any of the threads created which will be linked soon or feel free to create your own thread set during that day.
The first thread for the war will be posted on February 10th. In the meantime, feel free to discuss and plan here. It is still in the process of being organised.
(For future characters, feel free to assume their involvement in the event as long as it makes sense)
Gondor has been at risk of a civil war with several powerful noble houses, vying for power and anxiously awaiting the death of the Steward. For many months, some of the Steward's closest of advisers have been plotting treason, bringing their own forces from various provinces such as Belfalas and Lamedon. It is when Barlandir holds court that the advisers have chosen to betray their leader and strike with their men at the ready. With Barlandir's assassination, Minas Tirith will be plunged into chaos and the fate of the southern kingdom remains uncertain.
When: The court is to be held on F.A. 432 February 1st (date subject to change)
Who: This event is open to any who have business in Gondor at this time or any who would be at Barlandir's court (Gondorian or foreign nobility, military, etc).
Where: The event will take place both in Barlandir's court in the throne room and the fighting will eventually spill into the city. One thread will be made in the throne room; however, feel free to make your own threads throughout the city and link them here. Remember a decision will have consequences that could potentially affect the outcome; therefore, to be sure to keep up-to-date with everything major that happens by checking back on this thread.
There will be NPC guards and soldiers belonging to the advisers stationed both in the throne room and throughout the city. It is their duty to maintain the order and ensure that there are no complications. They are ordered to kill any that oppose.
If Gondor falls into the hands of the advisers and your character has chosen to actively fight back during this event, they will either be locked away or will be forced to flee from Gondor for their lives unless they have a good reason to protect them from paying the penalty.
If you would like your character to become involved, feel free to join the open thread in the throne room which will be linked soon (this weekend) or feel free to create your own thread set during that day.
