So it happened in the year 3262 of the Second age of the Sun.

The Tauredain were experiencing their golden age. Great pyramids of stone rose above the jungle, and great cities were built. Amuzet was the Tauredain emperor, and all seemed to be going well. But the Tauredain lived very deep within the forests, and no Numenorean had ever seen the glory of their great buuildings. . . none, that is, until Herendil, a lone explorer, stumbled upon their capital by chance. Herendil was very tall and fair, and in his shining mail the Tauredain thought him a god. They showered him with gold, furs, and many other gifts. Herendil traveled back to Numenor and showed these gifts to the king, Tar-Pharazon. But Herendil didn't know that while he was in the wilds, Tar-Pharazon had been corrupted by Sauron. When the greedy king saw the gold orniments, disaster struck.

Pharazon (or, more acurately, Sauron) ordered that the "native savages" be slaughtered so that the "higher race" might take their gold and use it for "the greater good". And to do this he sent none other then the foulest and most wicked man in all Numenor: Hernando Dias, a Numenorean Conquestador. Tidings soon came to Emperor Amuzet of a "Great army of the gods" that rode "Great deer with no antlers" and came in "Boats as large as a Mumakil". Fear was struck into the hearts of all Tauredain: could a tribal people with hardened wool armour and obsidian machanas stand up against a great army of men with steel armour, horses, and canons?! Find out, as you fight in The Battle for the New World!

In this RP you can either be a cruel Numenorean conquestedor of Hernando Dias or a Tauredain freedom fighter. Obviously this mirrors the Spanish conquest of Mexico, and things are probably going to get quite brutal with the Spanish's evil methods, and the Tauredain's human sacrafices. I'll allow PG-13 violence, but try to keep everything else PG.

To clarify, the Numenoreans are currently crossing over the Mountains of Harad.
