Mablung was a captain and marchwarden to King Elu Thingol of Doriath.His weapons of choice were a spear and knife. His birthdate is unknown but he was present at the Mereth Aderthad as a messenger of Thingol, along with Daeron who was the loremaster and minstrel of Doriath.

He particpated in the Hunting of the Wolf alongside Beleg, Haun the hound of Valinor, Beren Erchamion and King Thingol. He was the one who retrieved Berens hand from the beast’s stomach, which still grasped the Silmaril. Upon picking up the silmaril Mablung was overcome with a huge weight. His hand dropped to the ground and was forced open, presumably from the weight of the silmaril. From this he gained the name Mablung of the Heavy Hand. Alongside Beleg, Mablung fought with the host of Fingon in the Fifth Battle of the Wars of Beleriand, the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. Under the union of Maedhros all the elves of beleriand, the Dwarves and the Edain were invited to join together in an effort to strike a blow against Morgoth.

His end came at the battle of the Thousand Caves and he made his final stand before the doors to the treasure room in which the Nauglamir was kept. It was there that he was slain by the Dwarves of Nogrod during their ransack of Menegroth.

Why I should be picked this this role: I love the forest and enjoy playing as an Elf. I like to RP when prepared (as opposed to the party I was invited to at which I talked out of character because I didn’t understand what was going on, and at the burial of Orodreth where I was a bit unprepared and didn’t say much.) I am currently building a fort to protect the Northern border of the forest under my current person, Sacal, who is a Captain of the Marchwardens. I am friendly and always willing to lend a hand to my fellow elves as well as those I deem polite enough not to ram a blade through my back when I’m not looking. I am confident on most of Mablung’s lore and feel I can portray this character quite well.

Something to Note: After a discussion with Thingol he suggested that his royal guard be known as the Heavy Hand, named after Mablung himself. Mablung would be their captain, hence the title “Captain of the Heavy Hand”. This may not be correct in lore but it works rather well and sounds quite menacing.

Thanks for reading and I hope you accept my application -Sacal / Mouth_Of_Sauron
