Lore:

Bór, later known as Bór the Faithful, was a leader of a tribe of Easterlings who came into Lothlann in the year FA 463. His house was welcomed by Maedhros, who gave him and his sons; Borlach, Borlad and Borthand, land north of the March of Maedhros. All four of the Easterlings promptly swore allegiance to Maedhros and remained faithful to their oath, despite constant whispers and threats from Morgoth who bid them to betray the banner of Caranthir.

The men of Bór were renowned warriors. Known for their prowess in battle which was greatly enhanced by the Fëanorians who taught them to master the bow. Bór himself was a good deal stronger and taller than most men and, because of this, he bade his best smiths forge him a powerful greatsword. He trained in the ways of the elven archers but always found their bows to be too flimsy in his great war-calloused hands. He tried his hand at bowmaking and crafted a strong, thick bow out of yew wood. He found that this bow of his, when fully drawn back, sent arrows flying over a much further distance than the bows of the Fëanorians. The rest of Bór's tribe took a liking to his weapons and the strongest among them chose to fight with a greatsword and longbow aswell. When Maedhros called his bannermen to war Bór answered his call and the great warriors of his house came marching. As the host of men and elves prepared to fight the army of Angband, Uldor, son of Ulfang betrayed the alliance and attacked the combined forces in the rear. More of his kin from House Ulfang came down from the mountains and attacked from the east. The warriors of House Bór fought with great stamina and courage and saw many of their foemen struck dead in the dirt but their efforts did little to slow the charge of the traitors who greatly outnumbered them. Bór saw his sons struck dead and went into a fury, jumping into the enemy line and cleaving mercilessly with his greatsword until he was finally brought down himself. The elves grieved the death of Bór and his sons and awarded him the name Bór the Faithful to honour the chieftain who would sacrifice his own house to preserve the land from Morgoth.

Why should I get this role?

I am a leader of the folk living in Gardh Bóren and us fifteen or so active people would like to be able to claim when our capital is complete. Personally I have past roleplay experience, both on other roleplay servers (I was Thane Prydwen on DOME) and outside of Minecraft entirely. I hope to participate actively in roleplay on the server and to make the House of Bór mean something more than their dispute with Ulfang in the lore.
