Whom is Bór?

Bór was leader of house Bór, of the Easterling that came through to Beleriand from Eraidor, later than the Edain. The men of Bór where “Short and broad, long and strong in the arm and grew much hair of the face and breast; their locks were dark as were their eyes, and their skins were sallow and swart.”

From what is stated of these “swarthy” men, they are brute and tough. The houses Bór and Ulfang had their men trained by the sons of Fëanor, suggesting strong and skilled warriors were in the ranks of Chieftain Bór’s army. Bór had three sons, Borlach, Borlad and Borth. Along with his people, the house pledged alliance to Maedhros and his brother Maglor.

Why do I want to be Bór?

Well, I spent my days on SA as a red dwarf and I wasn’t very PvP orientated and I only tried to RP a couple times (as it was hard being so far away from everyone and have no neighbours). However, being in Beleriand, I have a chance to lead a faction and heavily revolve it around RP and keeping away evil at its chokepoints. From what I see, Bór was a decently big role in the later first age and certain events and his people have most likely never been so wondrous in this new world, coming from the plains in the east near Eriador where they were only prone to tales of the peaceful west.

I also like the people of Bór, as they are not very Hardcore (meaning there is not pages and pages of lore about them and their families etc), so roleplaying doesn’t have to follow guidelines and such. Also, I would like to ally myself to factions such as the Fëanorians, as the lore of the two factions intertwine.

How will I tackle being Bór?

I will heavily base the faction around all aspects of Minecraft (RP, PvP and building). I will not wage war straight away unless provoked or supporting other factions and I wish on defending the Edain and from the North and mostly fighting the other Easterling houses. Wars I declare (if any) will not be for territory or builds, but for RP.

I think I would be good at leading the faction as on Second age I was never banned, and only ever kicked once (When I said first after a reset and Arthos and Durin had a kick fight to get to first xD). I think I led the Orocarni well while Adams was away and leading a faction would be a step up. The last time I was leader of a faction, was on one of Laerorndir’s servers, where I was Thranduil and admin on the server. Being a Mannish faction is new to me and I hope to be a good leader if I become Bór.

Who am I and what would I bring to the server?

Well I am oggynator1/Ardoth-kadan/many other names. I have been playing lotr mod since beta 26 (Not that long I know) and been reading Tolkien’s work since I was 7. When I was 7 I finished the hobbit and my favourite character was Dain II Ironfoot. Until I was 11 and I listened to lotr on audio book (I know, I’m lazy) and then I loved the tales of Arnor and I (for some reason) became a rohan fanboy. My Real name is Ben (call me that if you wish) and my favourite thing to do in Minecraft is building. I have a lot of friends in the lotr community and I am more of an artistic person when it comes to computer games (not in real life, I’m crap at drawing in real life), I can texture and I can write lore and such. My favourite topic at school is history (I prefer ancient history such as Romans and Egyptians and such). If you want to hear more about me, just ask.

I think I would bring someone who cares for others to the community and whether they are evil or not, out of character, I will talk to them nicely. I am (as stated) quite fond of building, so I will be building in times of peace, and if you would like tips or help at building, just ask.

On Second age, I was nice to evil players, even when I was at war with them and they were nice back (at least most of them). I hope people see me as a nice person, and thank you for taking your time to read this application and I hope to get the role of Bór.

Yours sincerely,
