So it was in the year 3310 of the Second Age in Middle-Earth:

The mighty and prosperous Zaltec empire was growing in power, might, and glory. They had largely recovered from the disastrous Dwarven War and were building their temples of stone and gold ever higher in the name of their gods. Their God-Emperor at this time was Amuzet the Golden, proudest of the Emperors ever to sit the throne of the Tauredain. Amuzet, some years before, had unified the diverse Tauredain tribes under the banner of the Zaltec. Amuzet's rule was harsh but effective, but his pride and arrogance grew. He looked with greed at the nearby Dwarven Mountains. The resulting war is a long and sad story that will not be told here. In the end, Amuzet lost and his forces retreated back into the jungle. Amuzet brooded over his defeat, but his pride and his arrogance remained. He became paranoid, however, and his rule became much harsher. Human sacrifices were given to the gods every day, and on feast days whole tribes would be sacrificed to appease the gods and make the sun rise every morning.

Meanwhile across the sea, a far greater empire was preparing to make war upon the Valar. Ar-Pharzon, Emperor of Numenor. After Sauron's humiliation at Umbar, he was brought in chains to Armenlos. Sauron eventually became Pharzon's greatest advisor, and turned him to worship of the dark. Many of his people followed him in this, save for the faithful. Pharazon under orders from Sauron burned the White Tree, Nimloth. They built a new temple in Armenlos where there was constant burning and sacrifice. Sauron showed his people many dark arts, and their technology and might grew. A Numenorean ship making for the Dark Lands shipwrecked in the Tauredain Empire. The Tauredain thought him a god, and gave him a ship and provisions to take him back to the "Holy Land" of Westernesse. The glory of the Tauredain empire was apparent to the Numenorean castaway, and he reported his findings to the Royal Council. Pharzon, or more accurately Sauron, ordered that a royal expeditionary army be sent to subjugate the "Dark savages" and use their gold for the "greater good of the Empire". And so, a fleet sailed to the lands of the Tauredain, armed to the teeth, hell bent on the downfall of the Zaltec. It was led by the cruelest general in all of Numenor, Hernando Diaz. And so the Battle for the New World began.

In this RP, you may play as a Numenorean Conquistador or a Tauredain defending his homeland. I know many will want to be Conquistadors, but we need an even mix. You can only join those two factions. This RP is rated "R". This will be a realistic RP, and will probably be quite brutal with Numenorean cruelty and Zaltec human sacrifices. Numenoreans have the same technology as the Spanish Conquistadors did. Tauredain will have wooden, stone, and obsidian weapons. The Numenoreans are currently sailing for the Moredain lands. The Tauredain have no idea of if the Numenoreans are friends or foes.
