This is an RP set in Gondor in the year 900 TA. Gondor is prospering under the rule of Tarannon Farastur and you can choose your career and heritage. The only restrictions are being of royal or steward blood. This is following the We are the Shire RP in context that it is not based around the adventures of multiple people, but around a community which is a decently wealthy (for that day's standards, at the time of the LotR it would be extremely wealthy for a town) town called Armar in southern Lossarnach where the river Erui meets the Great Road, and has a bridge that needs a toll to pass through, so a tollman career is open.The idea is to create a self-sustaining comunity which will work properly, although that is probably not going to happen. You must note that I will be throwing random events, such as a call to duty for the soldiers, orc raids, murders, holidays, etc.

Careers:

-Soldier: These people will have a very dangerous job and will have the possibility of dieing while on guard-duty or while a large manouvre is being made by the Gondorian army. You get a slightly above average pay while being an average soldier, but your pay will go up as you rise the ranks and will be able to even order other people around!

-Businessman,woman/merchant: You start with a small shop with the good that you want to buy and sell and can work your way up to owning a large shop or business. You get pay depending on how wealthy you are, but you may experience events in which your business will go bankrupt or on the other hand rise sky-high.

-Workman/woman: You are an average workman or woman. You get average pay with small chance of rising to a higher rank. You may very rarely experience work-injuries, but you have a steady career and little to no chance of becoming very poor.

-Criminal: You have a 50/50 chance on each of your missions to either die or gain a large amount of wealth. This is a very profitable, but by far the most dangerous job.

-Specialised professions needing high education: These are professions like doctors, librarians, historians, etc. You will get a relatively high payment, but it is very hard to find these jobs and you might end up having to accept a normal workman job or becoming a beggar. In this you have almost no chance of injury of any kind, but citizens might get complaints on you, giving you a high possibility to get fired from your job and becoming a beggar.

More careers will come, but this is just for you to get the jist of it. Constructive criticism is wanted! I will play aas the mayor and will do announcements daily on what has happened. These announcements will come 1-3 times a day usually, and will be published as newspapers, so keep track of them, they might mean a great opportunity or a great danger to your career!
