The Men of Dol Amroth have a history of undying loyalty to the prince -loyalty that has come under much scrutiny in the Forth Age RP as being "OP" "ridicules" and "unrealistic"



To me the situation is something like this:



Glosur: "My character regenerates, never dies, and has a kingdom large enough to rival Khazad-dum!" everyone else: "cool!"



Argali: "I have a huge exotic island with humanoid parakeets" everyone else: "Cool!"





High Prince Imrahil "I have a small humble kingdom with elite elven warriors-that show a hint of loyalty" everyone else "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's not get unrealistic here. . ."



I would like to make the point that besides my troop's loyalty, Dol Amroth is relatively weak, being little more then a fiefdom. They have elite troops, but they're not very numerous at all. The one and only thing that makes my kingdom great is my soldier's loyalty to the prince, loyalty that is not unfounded!

These men a good deal of elven blood. Can you imagine a revolt against Elrond? Or Gil-Galad?? I make the case that Dol Amroth has very minimal crime and incredible loyalty because of the elven and Numenorean blood. Is that really OP??

Loyalty is my kingdom's special power. Like some kingdoms have elite infantry, or excellent archers, Dol Amroth's advantage is their loyalty.

Fair enough?  </ac_metadata>
