Lotrings wrote: It is the first day of the 4th Age, The Free Peoples of Middle Earth have been defeated and Empires from the East are slowly encroaching on the surviving territories. The eastern factions are listed below. You can be from a Western Faction, trying to survive however I HIGHLY recommend going with an Eastern Faction because at some point I plan for the Free Peoples to all be crushed and then just have huge, sprawling Empires battle it out. Custom nations are encouraged.

Empire of Harad - The Southrons control all of Near and Far Harad. They also own all of Western Gondor. They have the Half Trolls as a Client State. They are allied with Umbar and enemies with Mordor. They are light rulers and do not intend to expand rapidly. They are the least evil of all the Eastern Empires.

Rhunnic Hordes - Rhun is united as a singular hoard, they are enemies with everyone and look to raze all of Middle Earth. They own Rhun, Dale and the Red Mountains however the biggest dwarf cities are still holding out against the hordes.

Kingdom of Khand - The Kingdom of Khand is allied with Dorwinion and the remaining Red Mountains Dwarves. It holds out against the Rhunnic Hordes. Not evil.

Principality of Umbar - The Principality of Umbar controls Umbar and the surrounding region. It has the most effective navy in all of Middle Earth. It is allied with the Empire of Harad.

Kingdom of Dorwinion - The last free Kingdom in the East. The home of the Dark Elves and Men of Dorwinion. It is allied with Khand and is defending against Rhun. Not evil.

Shadow of Mordor - Sauron has returned with the and has the Ring once more. Mordor is looking to burn and control all of Middle Earth. They have betrayed the Southern men and are at war with everyone. Mordor controls Eastern Gondor, Eastern Rohan and Mordor.

Western Evil Factions Include: Isengard, Gundabad, Reforged Angmar, Orcs of the Misty Mountains, Clans of Enedwaith,

Surviving Good Factions Include: Red Mountains Dwarves who are besieged in their cities , Erebor and the Iron Hills, Blue Mountains, Free Peoples of Eriador, Dunland (turned good), Remnants of Rohan and the Men of the Vale of Anduin (Elves still went to Valinor).

Rules: 

No Metagaming/Godmodding

No more than 2 characters each so that the RP doesn't become too confusing.

No OP Characters, Valar (Weak Maiar Allowed), Dragons, etc.

You may narrate simple tasks/skirmishes etc. However I will decide the outcome of large-scale battles and the like.

Listen to the Narrator! You will be allowed to do what you like, however I will need to direct at some points.

HAVE FUN!
