NOTE! All descriptions and events may and will change. DO NOT POST YET!

The Blue mountains are a sleeping giant, long have they waited in their homes, gaining power, striding to be the famous smiths of old, and now they have done so, and strive to

The Longbeards, so filled with grief after the loss of their ancient homes, had almost no hope left, but recently after the efforts of Thorin Oakenshield they were filled with happiness, and a newfound rage for the Orcs and vermin, they muster all of their forces and march towards Khazad-dum....

The Ironfists, the cold skinned dwarves of the north, are slowly migrating away from their more tropical cousins, and are barring themselves in their new homes in the Forodwaith mountains and cutting themselves off to live life alone. They have cut ties to everyone save their kin and wait until the time comes to reak havoc on the Easterlings to the south.

The Stiffbeards, the more tactical of the dwarves, plot out a plan to move against the Easterlings, who are besieging their cousins, the blacklocks, just a few miles to the south. They are one of the richest dwarven factions and have more than enough money and power to attack them now, war does not come as easily to this clan of dwarves, but war broods in their hearts at the word of their kin in danger, and they will soon march

The Stonefoots, the hardy thick-skinned dwarves are at a crossroads, they can choose to aid their kin or migrate west to join their kinsman to reclaim Moria, they don't know what to do. So they are in council with the Avari to ask for aid. These dwarves are the most social of all their kin, they are also the tallest of their kin, some reaching a height of 6 feet! They have been branded 'Elven dwarves because of their height and ability with bows. There is even talk that the elves are joining them...

The Blacklocks are besieged, they look for help to their northern kin the Stiffbeards, and so far they have heard nothing. they are growing all the more scared by the day. They can defend well, as they make the best stone in all of middle-earth, even among dwarvish standards, they can last months against siege equipment, and they will need all the help they can get. The black haired dwarves can hold out longer than most against the might of Rhun, but eventually their walls will fail and they will have to fight to the death.

The White Mountains, or Ered Nimrais, as they are sometimes called, were up until recently inhabited only by the occasional Beacons of Gondor and the spectacular caves of Aglarond, but recently a new King going by the name of Glosur has led a large number of dwarves south into the mountains of White and has made a new faction of dwarves there. It's capital, Kheled-Arnin, is flooded with dwarven volunteers from the 7 clans, but Gondor is wary of this decision, its pride of owning mountains and land has been taken, and the power-lust of men can rarely be tamed....

The Men of Dale and Esgaroth's ties to the dwarves are stronger than ever, so much so that the dwarves regularly let them live in Erebor, a place previously dwarves only. Their new king *Insert name here* has formed the strongest alliance between two separate races since the Alliance of men&elves. Recently they have gotten into arguments with Thranduil over trade rights after he threatened the King under the mountain Thorin III Stonehelm.

The Elves and Men of Dorwinion have come into conflict with the Easterlings after the fall of Sauron, and threats of war are in the air, however dorwinion has worse problems, they have a crop based economy usually based around Potatoes and Grapes, recently however their crops have been infected with an unknown virus that is spreading throughout their lands and making their potatoes inedible and their wine sour to the point of being undrinkable. Unknown is the fate of dorwinion at this point...

The Beornings are growing fast, They have filled the Anduin vale to the brim, and since they live long lives and are very powerful, their numbers are growing to large for the land they live in. This is creating tension between the elves and Beornings, for the Elves claim the Beornings want to attack, and the Beornings deny everything. The Beornings look upon the Brown lands and the battle plain in wonder, could they risk trying to colonize the lands in the south? That lay uninhabited for an age?

The elves of mirkwood are in am argument with the Longbeards after a hidden treasure room was discovered filled with gems of starlight, Thranduil claimed they were his, and thorin denied it, many threats were given and weapons were drawn, but it never amounted to anything and they went their separate ways, but tension is still there between the dwarves and the mirkwood elves.

The Avari, or Dark Elves as they are more called, are the largest elven force left in Middle-earth, for none left to go west into Valinor. They now lie in wait in their woodland homes, although unlike their Galadhrim cousins they have taken on the style of a more dwarven style of architecture, for living next to their dwarvish allies for so long. They have also taken the liking of the Sword and Axe rather than the Knife and Bow. As such they have much better fighting Infantry than other elven races.

(More races coming soon)
