Introduction:

Together with Thirras, I will be applying to become the joint head of Gondolin’s House of the hammer of wrath. Whilst the lore leader for this house is Rog, we decided to try for a custom lore role, to explain the deviation from lore, Rog was deceived and believed to be killed by the words of Melkor. The characters we are applying for are the brothers Áscynthil (myself) and Thürthil (Thirras), who are the sons of Rog.

Lore story to both characters:

Gondolin was still in its infancy when Áscynthil and Thürthil came into the world. They were fathered by Rog, Chief of the House of the hammer of wrath. Just as their father was, they were skilled smiths and craftsmen who had impressed their peers. Whilst not as good with the forge as his brother, Áscynthil more than made up for it with swinging his hammer not on the forge, but on his foes. Rog was one of the strongest of all the Noldoli, he was skilled in blacksmith but a even more skilled leader. What Rog wasn’t however, was a great father. Rog spent all of his time away from home, no day went by without Rog trying to impress the gods with his skills.

Áscynthil and Thürthil had one goal in their life, to impress father. Áscynthil and Thürthil had earned the respect of their folk as both blacksmiths and battle tested warriors. Áscynthil and Thürthil did not forge alone, they both combined their work to present the finest and strongest quality of blacksmithing of the whole house. Their skill with the hammer rewarded itself in battle, no hammer swung faster than the hammer of Áscynthil. Thürthil wasn't the fastest but his swings did never miss and striked the hardest of all. The two brothers have brought more balrogs to their knee than any men or elf did before. Did they impress father? Not so much; all their fame and glory had no effect on father. Rog only cared about the wellfare of his folk, he thought Áscynthil and Thürthil only cared for theirselfs.

The story of how Rog dissapeared is a foul memory in the lives of the Noldolli. Áscynthil and Thürthil were away on one of their many quests and adventure's. This was nothing new to them nor for the House of Rog. Áscynthil and Thürthil had found scouts of Melkor on their travels, they thought they were hidden enough but they were not. Melkor had a large hatred against Rog and his sons, because of them many Balrogs have met their end. Melkor did not leave this oppertunity go by and he used his foul magic to whisper lies and deceiving words in his ear. Rog believed his sons were in danger, they had found the cave of Gothmog, the greatest balrog from the first age. As a great and skilled warrior, Rog, did not hesitate one second. He picked up his hammer, his shield and took the fastest horse there was. Rog found the cave with no problem, he could not have known the location without the deceaving words of Melkor. But Rog did not think straight, his boys, his sons, were in danger. Rog rushed in and found many creatures around, but his sons were not one of them. Rog was led into a trap my Melkor, the story's are as vague as they could be of what happend down in that cave. But one thing was certain Rog did not return. Áscynthil and Thürthil have always believed they lost their father by the foul actions of Melkor. Their Hatred against Melkor grew larger every day they were not with their father.

The only thing the brothers had never known, was that their father was still alive. Rog returned to Gondolin to fight for its exestince and its glory. But that story did not end well and is something for a other day to tell.



About Áscynthil:

Áscynthil is a fearless character who spends much of his time working on his gear and hunting with his brother outside of the city of Gondolin. His prefered weapon is the warhammer which is adorned with intricate patterns and designs that highlighted his skills with a forge.

In game he will likely be found achievement hunting, gathering resources and further improving his gear, as well as pvping evil players.



About Thürthil:

Thürthil was not known for his wisest decisions, but he was known for his bravery. Thürthil acted on his guts and his pure heart. He shall be found at the front lines at battles and defending his kin. He and Áscynthil  worked together on their armor and it was of the best quality. Thürthil shall be found often hunting, gathering worthfull items, bringing down evil to its knee and ofcourse patroling around Gondolin streets.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">I’ve been playing the mod since the beginning, and have almost exclusively played on multiplayer servers. Most of my time was invested on the official server where I roleplayed as the Bringer of Dawn and the King of Rohan for around a year and a half, I built several major builds including Edoras, Helms Deep and my personal home of Mering Stream. I wrote up a few of the events I partook in on the server here http://the-official-lotrmod-server-player.wikia.com/wiki/Mewarmy_of_Rohan:_A_Hero%27s_Saga

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">On the Second Age server I was one of the two warchiefs of Dúnglamhoth, the faction that soon dominated the server. As many of you know I am an active pvper, but in my spare time I endulge myself in achievement hunting, building and roleplay.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">Since i have met this mod, i have been addicted. I prefer playing online with friends and having a good time. I have proofed myself as a decent King on the Second age, where i lead the Blue Dwarves. There have been ups and downs but i always stay true to my kin and lore. Im one who follows the rules and likes to help out my fellow player, it should all be about fun. I wasn't the most profound player on PvP but on this server i shall try to do this more, i liked to gather unique or worthfull items.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">We would both like to try and play as elves for a time as it is a race we haven’t really played before. The Gondolin system is a cool system, there is a king but there are many houses. They all have their speciality and their own back story. We hope to be part of this Gondolin family and become one of the strongest and wisest faction of the server.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">We would both like to thank you in advance for taking your time to read this application, we both hope to have pleased you with this application and be accepted into Gondolin. See you ingame.
