Thread:The Second Age Server/@comment-28975298-20160727161148

Brief history(not mentioning what happened after S.A. 1600)

Oropher was a Sinda(Grey Elf). At the end of the first age he travelled east, he was accepted as king of the Silvan Elves who lived in Greenwood at the time and he created the Woodland Realm.

Timeline:

The Woodland Realm was established by Oropher year S.A. 750 and he didn't die til the Battle of Dagurlad when Sauron was defeated meaning that since the server takes place year S.A. 1600 he is still alive and rules over the Woodland Realm. Thraunduil was also alive all this time but he didn't become king until after Oropher's death meaning that he was just a prince when the server takes place.

Location:

Woodland Realm, duh. No but seriously. Since Thranduil's Halls/Elvenking's Halls wasn't built 'til about T.A. 1050 when a shadow came over Greenwood and people started calling it "Mirkwood". This means that the Wood-Elves were spread all over Greenwood. Oropher lived in the capital called "Amon Lanc" in the southern part of Greenwood.

Minecraft Name:

My Minecraft name is: "ZZorken"

Characteristics and Traits:

I imagine Oropher quite like Thranduil was portrayed in "The Hobbit". The Silvan Elves wanted to mostly mind their own business and not care about what was going on in other places Oropher decided to help with the war to defeat Sauron just like Thranduil did in the Third Age.

He looks after his own people and only helps others when he really needs to.

I imagine him as independent and a guy with a big ego and thinks he is better than everybody else but he needs to take care of his kingdom. His personality more of a mix between men and elves since elves are bound to nature and don't aspire to greatness but men crave power over everything else. He wants power and enjoys feeling "important" more than other elves. Just like Beorn said: "Less wise, more dangerous".

About me:

I've been playing this mod since early/middle 2013 when it was in it's infancy. Lord of the Rings is something I have grown up with and I've read the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit(and watched the movies(duh)). I have sadly not read the Silmarillion yet, but I am very familiar with the lore of this amazing universe and I am very excited to play on this server

I play a LOT(too much) on the Official Server where I am just a simple Wood-Elf who oddly enough live in Anduin, in the town of Tamwich built by mr_tinty. I am as of right now building "Rhosgobel", the house of Radagast the Brown in Mirkwood as a little lore-build project together with mr_tinty and EnderShroom.
