It was the Fourth Age. All seemed simple and well, however, the following events took place, completely politicaly reshaping much of the world-

Little time into the Fourth Age, Gondorians noticed restlesness in Mordor. They dismissed it, assuring themselves that it was nothing to worry about. They certainely regreted that. Suddenly, an incredibly strong task force attacked Gondor. Where as previous Orcish armies wasted time pillaging and going after all of the Reunited Kingdom, they quickly broke through the Rammas on swift war beasts. Before the Gondorians even knew what was happening, Minas Tirith had fallen. Within one month, the entire Reunited Kingdom had disintegrated. The Orcs didn't bother doing anything but going after the most important spots. Almost the entire population of the Reunited Kingdom became refugies as upposed to Orcish slaves. The orcs had this new sparing attitude so they could create a power vaccum, then, they would swoop in at the right moment, and use more classic tactics. They made to carry out this plan, however, there was something they didn't account for. When they came to invade what was formerly Gondor, they came under attack by strange men. They were short, slender, and sported strange armor. They fought with absolute and incredible furry, using poisoned arrows, enchanted quarterstaffs, large shields and Katana like blades. There was only one that was ever taken prisoner by the orcs. They got out of him that they were the Druedain, but that they were of a different caste, and that the Druedain were more physicaly diverse than outsiders thought. He also said that they were infuriated by the crimes the orcs commited. They refered to themselves as the "Avengers of the tall men", and they also admited that they found a mithril vain in their territory. Before the orcs knew it, they had fallen as soon as they had risen, and the Druedain became an incredibly dominant power. They have recently started helping refugies, and re-establishing civilization in the areas previously belonging to the Reunited Kingdom. It is unkown what will happen next, and who will rise and fall in these strange times.

P.S. All of our custom factions, including Umbar are doing very well.
