Username : jakub8899 Character : Dīrhael Faction : Tol Sirion (Nargothrond) Title : 'Harpist' of Tol Sirion Character backstory : Dīrhael was born towards the end of the Years of the Trees in Valinor and left for Beleriand along with Fingolfin's host. He miraculously survived the harshness of the Helcaraxe, however not without a price. Being exposed to the cruelty of the world early in his life, losing his family to the helcaraxe and battle at the firth of Drengist he became independant and prefered to be alone rather than with others. He lived poorly and grew up alone, he didnt have a stable home, rather travelled Beleriand learning of the peoples that lives in it and the wilds. He would travel with merchant caravans, who were usually kind enough to spare him some bread and a coin or two, however contrary to his appearance, he had a natural talent with the blade and bow, which would come to prove itself later in his life. The merchants and locals he would meet or travel with would be left speechless when they watched his accuracy with the bow and swiftness with the blade. As the days went on, Dīrhael travelled Beleriand, over mountain and throuh forest, he gained knowledge of the world and creatures within it. He also had not one encounter with orcs and creatures of Morgoth. As his knowledge of the world grew he began to understand the dire situation of the elves and men, he encountered more orcs and less men and elves, and the men and elves that he did meet were more cautious and isolated by each day. But it was no unil he came across an utterly annihilated village of men in Ladros that he decided to join the cause. As he walked among the charred homes he saw the mutilated bodies of women, children, elders scattered around like leaves in autumn. He corpses weren't just lying in blood stained mud, they were ripped and torn like by a wild beast. The view was horrendous. It was then that Dīrhael knew he needed to be in the front lines. he travelled west, till he came upon the stronghold of Orodreth, Tol Sirion. It's white walls and red roofs glistened in the day light, the river below it reflected the great fortress in all its maginificence. He was welcomed warmly, and quickly became well known throughout the island, mainly for his skill with sword and bow, he was also gifted a bow, taken from Valinor before they noldor had departed. However it was no normal bow,unlike a typical bow, when the string was pulled and released it gave a sound like a harp, which would be a sign to any allies that Dīrhael was with them. This led to him being widely reffered to as the "harpist" of Tol Sirion.

I kinda felt like i needed a change for once and got a bit tired of Hithlum and a few players in it. I also kinda wanted to finally make my own haracter for once, it gives me far more rp posdibilities and will make my experience maybe a bit more enjoyable. I am already known on the server as one of good's best pvpers and i have played for the whole duration of SA and FA, enough to become familiar with most of the server and community. I have read the LOTR, The Hobbit, Thr Silmarillion and unfinished tales which gives me sufficient knowledge to be able to smoothly play on the server. I have also rp experience in game and irl and have played the mod for about 2 years now. That's about it. -jakub
