It is the 4th age and though this age was said to be a time of peace, it is anything but...

After the death of Sauron the dragon storm began. A huge army of dragons have erupted from Uttumno and Angband, breeding for hundreds of years, they fight with many other and perhaps greater evils.

In this the good players can play as a member of one of the dragon slayer groups below. You can also be a solo slayer or traveller, just no kings or major characters (excluding Samwise, who's first come first serve)

The bad players play as dragon lords, reincarnated beings from the past, they can control dragons and fight to cause destruction on the free kingdoms. They are insanely powerful, possessing some of the powers of the dragon themsleves. Evil players can also play as Dark dragons, very powerful dragon kings who are the bred destroyers of the free kingdoms, they are faster, stronger and far more deadly than anymother dragon in existence and they make their den in cities they conquer. You can also play as a wanderer or orc warlord, just no kings of mordor, angmar etc.

The dragon storm has cast the world into chaos, destroying many kingdoms leaving few intact here is the lore:

The armies of men:

Gondor has been ravaged, Osigliath now a den to the Dark dragon, Saragoth. Minas Tirith has been assualted and is slowly rebuilding itself, sadly their hero, Aaragon died in the assualt at the hands of Saragoth. Gondor armies are scattered and ruined and the beacons are broken and crumbled.

Rohan is hardly in better shape, all its cities are destroyed exceot for the impregn fortress that is Helms Deep which serves now as a refugee camp. In the tower of Isengard, an evil is growing it is said that the cast out Maiar, Saruman may be returning as a dragon lord, slowly growing in power.

In Eriador the dunedain are beginning to reinforce their walls, not allowing any in. The dunedain were the first to slay a dragon, a weak creature by the name of Yental. They used it's scales to make armour that is near indestructible and are arming a force they call The Dragonsbane.

The southerners of Harad:

The Near Haradrim are gone, killed in a devastating assualt by an army of twenty dragons. The last of their kin are fleeing to Gondor, not knowning it isn't in much better state.

In Pertogwaith, the half trolls are flourishing in this dragon age, they have discovered a vein of mithril far to the south and are learning the art of mithril smithing. Some trolls to the east are praying to one of the dragons, Pavag. Saying he os is the purifier, coming to clear this land of the elven stench. The remaining trolls hate the dragons and as such a group of them have aligned with the tribes of Harad and created a fellowship setting out to slay the dragons, they call themselves 'The fellowship of the South'.

The Tauredain sell Mumakil to the trolls of Pertogwaith in return for protection from the Moredain.

The Moredain's chieftain, a man by the name of Weletatokl has been discovered to be a dragon lord and is waging war on the Tauredain and Limwaith.

The Limwaith are weakened after the war of the ring, trying desperately to hold off the Moredain and rebuild themselves at the same time.

The Elves of Middle Earth:

Lindon is deserted, Rivendell empty. Now that the elves of Lindon are gone, travelling across the sea. The orcs of Gundabad led by the reincarnated Azog, are laying claim to it's treasures. With Azog a dragon lord, none dare oppose him, it is said he means to march on the dwarves of Belegost.

Lothlorien is but history, burned to the ground by the dragons, a few elves fight now as the 'Slayers of Lothlorien' and seek to kill the smaller dragons who live now in the burned canopy of Lothlorien, working to clear their homeland.

The wood elves flourish, they have take back all of their lands that were corrupted before. They've made a wall patrolled by the best of the best. Legolas fights as the leader of the Elven guard, serving his father, the king.

The seven dwarven clans:

Durins folk are dying, destroyed in an assualt by the last remaining Balrogs and the reincarnated dragon lord Gogrothor, a balrog lord from the second age. The remaining dwarves flee to White mountains.

The dwarves of the blue mountains are rich now, their armoes in Belegost, perfectly suited to fighting dragons travelled all around at the start of the storm, raiding dragon hordes and selling their troops for protection. Now as they hear rumours of the attacking gundabad orcs they arm up and fire their forges constantly. The most experienced of the Belegost are being handpicked as part of a regiment known as the 'Paladins of Belegost' and are the most experienced of dragon slayers, already having killed almost half a hundred dragons.

The dwarves of the red mountains stay hidden in wait. They cower and arm themsleves, not helping their cousins. Soon they will be besieged by a new dragon lord by the name of Varathor, a dwarf slain in the war of the ring who was tortured. When he'd been captured he called on the red dwarves for help, it never came.

The orc remnents:

The orcs of mordor ally themselves with the dragons, serving as a nest for all of the beasts. They protect a cave in the south, the scar of Melkor, for something is growing their, returning from the void. A force not seen since the second age...

Angmar is practically nonexistent, nothing lives there and not a soul dare enter it's borders, it is said a dark dragon by the name of Helabor lives their. Helabor is no ordinary dragon though, he possesses a ring.

The orcs of Gundabad live now in Lindon led by Azog, a dragon lord. They are rich beyond compare and constantly have twenty dragons patrolling their borders.

The hobbits: After the scouring of the shire they hide in their holes, cowering from the dragons, Samwise Gamgee treks along with Merry and Pippin, travelling to Erebor, where he goes to help the king under the mountain (Someone is welcome to play as Sam).

The rules:

No godmodding.

No OP characters, I realize some dragon lords will be extremely powerful but there are only 400 dragons in this war, you can't lead your own personal army of more than twenty dragons.

No bringing back Sauron, Melkor may return but that will be dictated later.

No more than two characters.

No raging or spamming

Don't disobey Eru.

Bla bla bla, you know the rules don't break them.

I will play as Eru, or the Narrator and will dictate some of the story and happenings. It is unlikely I will come into play.

Anything else I will post below or edit here.

Commence your adventures!!
