Metagame Details IGN: LordCelebrimbor About me: I've extensive roleplay experience from my time on Stugace's old Romecraft servers. I also have spent about 6 months on LOTR ToS, and am somewhat absorbed by Tolkien's lore. The main reason I wanted to play the character I created is that he somewhat reminds me of myself. I've become a decent builder and I dislike boasting so I'll leave my pvp aptitude to your imagination/experience.

Quick overview of my Character: Q. Father-Name: Vásanon(son of the Sun) Sindarin Alternative: Anorion Q. After-Name: Fëanáro (Fire Spirit) S. Self-Name: Manwendur (Servant of Manwë) House of Finwë Date of birth FA 1 in Tirion Parentage: Celebrimbor and Amarië Physical Desc: Dark Hair, Firey Golden Eyes(Modeled after Annatar, Sauron's fair form), wields a Sword or Spear(or a Bow), wears Golden Armour adorned with Rubies Of the Birth in Aman. "The Sun sets sail and unto us a child is born, we shall name him Child of the Sun.", states Celebrimbor. "A most pertinent choice, my heart. His eyes even appear to bear the gleaming brilliance of the Sun." replies Amarië.

In his childhood, Vásanon frequently pondered Eru's plans and often inquisited his Father about Eru and the Ainur. Swiftly, the young Elf gained a superabundant knowledge of not only the history of Arda, but also of the Ainur. It was only a year after the young Elf had learned of Eru's most blessed Vala Manwë that he begged his Father to seek the Vala. "Why must I not seek the company of our King?" Vásanon inquisites as meekly as he can assuming Manwë's presence is much too great for him. "I only wish to serve our Father as Manwë himself does". "Manwë is a most compassionate ruler, my child. I am certain that he would welcome your presense." replied Celebrimbor. So the two sought Manwë in his halls. But when they passed into the open from the city, Manwë appeared before them. They bowed reverently before him. "The fire of Valinor burns within you more strongly than most any other Elf. No Darkness can stand against you without annihilation by the glory of Aman. Because of your power, you will be called Fëanáro by your kin". said Manwë. "Why is my power greater than that of most of my kin? Are they not equally worthy of such inherent gifts?" Inquisited Vásanon. "He that is higher than all saw you were most humble, and thus he gifted you with sufficiently great power". replied Manwë. A tear fell down Vásanon's cheeks in appreciation of the grace of his Designer.

After his encounter with Manwë, Vásanon always insisted that his father teach him the ways of War. And so his father trained him every day for the next 7 years. By FA 30, Vásanon already knew all his father could teach him. The young Elf, determined to be the greatest Elvish Warrior of Aman, sought the council of Manwë once again. And so Manwë sent Eönwë to train the Elf in the art of the sword and the mind. Eönwë only trained the boy once every few days as his other duties prevented him from more constant dedication. And so it was that Vásanon trained under him untill his first life cycle was completed( FA 100). Now Vásanon was fully capable of combat and joined forces with Fingolfin in Angband.

Of the first engagement in Angband

For many years Morgoth remained in council and there was no battle for the Elves. Vásanon was stationed in the South Marches and only met resistance with a few hundred orcs every now and then. The Elves always slew them with few to no casualties.

Of Dagor Bragollach

FA 455. Morgoth had returned to Thangorodrim consummed with great rage. Fires sent by Morgoth consummed Ard-Galen. Vásanon almost unaffected by the flames attempted to remain and fight. But he then considered the sheer amount of time Morgoth had spent hiding in Angband, and reasoned that the amount of terrible creatures he had bred in that time would surely overpower or at least cut off his escape should he attempt to fight. So Vásanon fled with the rest of his Ñoldorin brethren under the command of an Elf named Ithilion.

A horde of orcs marched upon his band. Ithilion, the commander of Vásanon's company had delt with many of the orcs with archery and constant retreat. It was not long before night came, the Elves could no longer fire upon the remaining orcs for lack of arrows and light. So Vásanon lead his Band to charge down the remaining orcs, and Ithilion lead a larger portion of the company behind him. Half of Vásanon's forces were lost on that night, but Vásanon himself sustained no injuries and mopped up the remaining orcs with Ithilion's Elves.

Before the might of the Elves at Barad Eithel, orc hosts retreated and were persued by Ñoldorin forces who slew them to the last warrior. Fingolfin rode to the north his horn being heard by all around.

Under Ithilion's command, Vásanon rode after his King. Fingolfin's rage was such that it was as if Oromë himself was present. Fingolfin in fact rode as far as fallen Thangorodrim to challenge Morgoth personally. Morgoth could not refuse Fingolfin's summons and dueled him. Fingolfin fought valiantly wounding the Dark Lord numerous times but his might faltered before Morgoth, and Morgoth slew him. But before Morgoth could kill him, he struck one last blow to his foot rendering him lame for the rest of his existence. Vásanon and Ithilion arrived too late to aid Fingolfin, but Vásanon still attempted to march on Morgoth when Ithilion commanded him to retreat. "Halt!" Ithilion commanded softly. "He must fall, if not for the greater good of Arda, for vengeance of our King." replied Vásanon. "You are using your heart rather than your mind to reason, Soldier. You would surely meet the same fate as Fingolfin if you fight." replied Ithilion. "Yes, Captain." reluctantly replied Vásanon.

Of Nirnaeth Arnoediad:

For his valor in Bragollach, Vásanon was appointed Captain under Ithilion who was elevated to Captain-Prince of Fingon. Under Fingon in the west were gathered the Elves and Men of Hithlum, the Elves of the Falas, the Haladin of Brethil, the companies sent from Nargothrond and the two Elves of Doriath, Beleg and Mablung. The plan was for Maedhros's host, the slightly greater of the two, to march openly across Anfauglith and draw out the main army of Angband, after which Fingon's host would attack from the Ered Wethrin and crush the armies of Morgoth between the two forces. They would then seal the doors of Angband and, hopefully, drive Morgoth underground forever.

When Vásanon arrived with Fingon's forces in Ered Wethrin, fire and smoke poured forth from Thangorodrim. The Eldar were surrounded and fought through many a orc in formation. Fingon had become aware that Morgoth knew of his forces, and doubt fell upon him. But then, Turgon arrived unexpectedly with an army of ten thousand from Gondolin and the faith of the Elven Host was restored. Vásanon then rejoined the battle in the northern flank. At the sight of so many orcs Vásanon wielded his mind as a weapon for the first time, setting an Orc Chieftan ablaze his head eventually burst as a melon frightening his orcish subordinates. Vásanon then charged into the frey of the terrified orcs slaying hundreds personally. In the morning the trumpets of Maedhros were heard and the Elves cheered with relief. Orcs were slain by the thousand.

The men of the East took Morgoth's side betraying the Elves and slew many of the unsuspecting sons of Fëanor. There came wolves, and Balrogs, and Dragons. Glaurung the father of Dragons also came. Forth from Angband then came Gothmog, who marched at Fingon. Fingon's guard charged slaying innumerable trolls and even a Balrog. Vásanon among them, they fought together but in the flury of battle Vásanon was swept away from Fingon. Nonetheless, Vásanon charged with Ithilion and Faenor towards Gothmog. But Gothmog threw them all aside and they were swept away from Fingon.

Fingon did battle with Gothmog alone, the corpses of his fallen men about his feet. He wounded Gothmog and may have slain him if not for another Balrog who held him from behind as Gothmog struck at his head with his firey axe. Vásanon enraged at the sight of the death of another Elvish King attempted to charge Gothmog, but his Balrogs defended him and Vásanon inevitably had to retreat in the heat of battle. So Vásanon joined Turgon's lines with the rest of his surviving forces.

Turgon saw that the battle was lost and ordered his forces to retreat. Thus in the Fen of Serech the Gondolindrim and the remaining forces of Fingon slipped away. Turgon offered Fingon's remaining soldiers to live peacefully in Gondolin, and so Vásanon did so still grieved at the loss of his brothers and King. But then a volley of arrows came down upon the Eldar and Ithilion was mortally wounded. Vásanon and the Gondolindrim made swift work of the orcs and cared for Ithilion's wounds binding them in gauss then carried him with their wounded.

Of Gondolin and its fall.

Vásanon entered into the gates of Gondolin with Turgon and marveled at the Architecture of the city. He came before the throne of Turgon to be accepted into the city officially. And he took to Galdor's service as a warrior. But Túor had soon brought warnings of Gondolin's doom. The words of the Valinorean messanger brought great concern to Vásanon and he and Galdor planned to escape the city. It was not long before the abominations of Angband were upon the Gates of Gondolin. With Galdor, Vásanon  came to where Tuor and Ecthelion had fallen and Galdor aided them saving them from the orcs. Vásanon fought the orcs valiantly as Galdor picked up Ecthelion and Tuor. Then what remained of Gondolin's refugees escaped the city under Galdor and Legolas(Of Gondolin) lead them across the Cristhorn. After escaping Gondolin, Vásanon went with Galdor to the Mouths of Sirion in Beleriand.

Of the War of Wrath

Vásanon had grown tired of battle, and rested for 60 years in a home in Sirion untill the next kinslaying destroyed it. Vásanon, now without a home and a flag under which to fight was frustrated and prayed that the Valar would intervene. The mariner Eärendil begged the Valar to aid the Elves and Men and so they did. Along with the Vanyar and the remaining Ñoldor in Aman, the host of the Valar came to Middle-earth in the mightiest gathering of arms in the history of Arda. Regarding the Teleri of Alqualondë, they granted the use of their ships to the powers of Aman, but none would aid the Ñoldor in Middle-earth, as they remembered still the Kinslaying of their people long ago and harbored much bitterness over it. Regardless of the foolhardy actions of his kin, Vásanon sought Finfarfin's command when he heard of the coming war. "What is your business here, Son of Fëanor?" Finarfin's warrior asked him impatiently. "I am no son of Fëanor, Mellon. I am a son of Finwë and have come to aid you and the Valar in your war against Morgoth." replied Vásanon. "Have you ever slain any of our kin?" Inquisited the warrior. "No, I have always avoided internal conflicts in fear of Mandos' prophesy." And Vásanon was induced into the ranks of the Host of Valinor.

Vásanon marched with the Host of Valinor unto Anfauglith's fields where they met with Morgoth's forces. The forces were so great the Elves and Men could contain them. But Vásanon fought relentlessly, slaying thousands of orcs in one day. Until a Balrog met him and his Company on the Field. With its axe it cleaved through many of his Vanyarin allies and Vásanon faced him alone amidist the dead. It struck fiercly but not swiftly enough to ever harm Vásanon. The Balrog resisted the wrath of Vásanon but grew tired in battle, and made a fell swing at Vásanon in hopes of cutting him in two. But Vásanon's grace allowed him to dodge the blow and climb up the firey arm of the Balrog and leap onto his chest sword first. The armour and power of Vásanon saved him from the fires of the Maia. But Vásanon's strife with him was so great in duration that Vásanon fell to the ground for loss of stamina. And a horde of many angry orcs, wolves, wargs, and a few Balrogs came to avenge the fallen Balrog. Vásanon store plainly into the army which would surely slay him if he could not flee,and spoke to his Father(Eru) giving him praise for all he had done for him. Then Manwë and Eönwë with the host of the Valar charged forth into the horde saving Vásanon. The orc armies were decimated by the host of the Valar and Vásanon fled albeit slowly and in distress. By the time he arrived at the fortress of Finarfin, he realised that inspite of his valour, the Maiar of Morgoth were his match and would perish if he remained in battle. So he fled to the island of Himling to live a more peaceful life.

Of the Last Fair Realm.

For much of the first portion of the Second Age, Vásanon lived in a somewhat luxurious home of Mithlond. Here he found peace from the War of Wrath and the War of the Silmarils. It had been rumored that all evil was purged from the Spheres of the Earth by the Valar. But Vásanon saw the treachery of men in the War of the Silmarils and found such a notion to be foolish. So Vásanon joined Ereinion Gil-Galad's Armies and was swiftly appointed to be a Lord of an army twenty two thousand strong under Ithilion who command the Host of Gil-Galad.

Vásanon's suspicions held true for a tall figure of Firey eyes and long blonde hair Annatar he called himself, and Emissary of the Valar to Middle-Earth. But the Ñoldor refused to allow him to join them as they were uncertain of his identity. Messengers were sent to other Elven realms giving precautional advise. But Lord Celebrimbor of Eregion did not heed the warning. SA 1600. This is where the roleplay on the server begins!
