LOTR Mod Official Server

''This page is for the official server of the Lord of the Rings mod, owned by the mod team. Other, community-run, servers have their own pages, which can be found here.''

The LOTR Mod Official Server is a server focused on showcasing the base experience of the mod in survival mode, with no added other mods or command features. It has many players, rulers, alliances and cities.

Here is the link to the corresponding facebook site. Aidansebastian has made an awesome trailer video for this server. Thank you for that. The trailer video might be a bit a bit outdated since the last world reset. Try it out and check what's left and what's new.

There is a small carrot farm near the construction site to feed the builders, as well as a Mordor Rock quarry.

Councils or Groups
All of the information below is describing large scale faction interaction such as guilds and alliances. Feel free to add your own council/group if it consists of more than 2 factions.

Dwarven House / Dwarven Council
 This is an elite group of seven of the finest dwarven warriors across the server. The houses in the Dwarven House include the Ered Luin, Khazad-Dum, the City of Gundabad, Ered Mithrin, the Iron Hills, and the Orocarni. There is one Lord per region that comes when a Lord calls a council. All councils are held at Gundabad when it is rebuilt. The High King of the Council is Azaghal_79 (formerly known as squatch_thunder7). The lordship of the members of the council is undisputed. Each Lord was gifted with a ring of their Realm/City. The rings were forged and inscribed within the halls of the greatest realm of the Khazad, Moria.

 The founding members consist of: The council has since appointed various other lords such as
 * Azaghal_79 (squatch_thunder7) - The appointed High King of the Council, ruler of the Blue Mountains, and Forger of the Dwarven Rings.
 * Spoangitybob - Lord of the Dwarven Kingdom of Khazad-Dum and protector of the southern Misty Mountains.
 * iwellner45 - Lord of Durin's City located at Mount Gundabad.
 * ThunderSC (SpeedySC) - Lord of the Iron Hills and co-guardian of the icy north.
 * aidansebastian - Lord of the Grey Mountains, co-guardian of the icy north, and inscriber of the Dwarven Rings.
 * Thorin_the_King - King Under the Mountain.
 * wille912_ - Ruler of the Red Mountains.
 * LuckySilverStar - Ruler of Nogrod.

Council of the High-Elves
 The 2nd king of the High-Elves, SinzPet, upon his rise to the throne created a council consisting of the most prestigious elves of the faction. The council acts as the king's advisors and representatives.

Information about the High-Elves will not be updated on this page. You can read more about the High-Elves and their Government on the "Player/Faction/RolePlay- Wiki" if you're interested. Everything is up-to-date there.

White Council
The White Council is a group of the elite, good aligned players of the server. They work together on a large, faction scale so that they can combat the forces of evil. The group consists of the highest ranking players of the main "good" factions, including Kings and High Lords alike.

The group consists of:
 * internet_miners - High King of Fangorn and Hand of the King to SinzPet, the High King of Lindon. He was one of the founding members and very influential with most other players on the server.
 * SinzPet himself, another founding member, High King of the High Elves.
 * Faelon (Formerly: Xenphir) and TheBlueTrickster, more Elven kin, were founding members and partake in the council as influential representatives of the Mirkwood kingdom..
 * TheSmileBC (Formerly: Arantoer_II) - the third and last founding member.

The White Council later admitted three invaluable players as their latest members:
 * squatch_thunder7, the first new member, Lord of all Dwarves, Co-founder of the Northern Alliance and ruler of Ered Luin.
 * Hell_Metallicus, soon after, was graced into the Council as the Chieftan of the Rangers of the North and Co-founder of the Northern Alliance.
 * Atanvarno, following these additions, King of Gondor, founder of the union of Arnor and Gondor.

Even at this moment the Council convenes to discuss trade, border troubles and incoming threats from treacherous neighbours. Their reach is nearly limitless as they can thwart even the deadliest of enemy plans. Their spheres of influence allies themselves closely to the most powerful of players, including most Dwarven lords and High Elves. Their contacts include the richest players on the server and the White Council itself has accomplished warriors of renown. They are ever vigil, always watching. Cross them and you may be forgiven, but never forgotten.

There are rumors that the White Council has a secret location where they all meet, and it is said to be never found by anyone outside of the White Council. Some even say the location is not even in Middle-Earth. Others say they all communicate through Palentirs. Even we are unsure of the truth.

The Confederation of the Northmen
The Confederation of the Northmen is an inter-factional organization of factions based on Northern Cultures. Current members of the Confederation are Rohan, the Kingdom of Rhovanion, the kingdom of Anduin and the Northern Viking Clans (Foredain, Northmen). They were formed in mid 1417 with the purpose of advancing trade and creating mutual defense. It is centered in Aldburg, Rohan. However, the aim is to use the ancient Eotheod city, Framsburg, to replace Aldburg as the center city.

AA-Guild
Not yet an official group, though there have been a rising and a fall in members and publicity. This guild is primarily a joke for the true Alcoholics.

It is an elite group, where everyone is welcome with the achievement and Alcoholic Shield. There is rumored to be an actual Guild (being) built somewhere. Though nobody knows how and where. The founders of this guild were: Even though they were enemies, they appreciated drinking with each other after fighting on the battlefield, and decided that every race and man or woman should have a place where they can rest, drink or laugh in peace. They are also viewing themselves outside of all politics when honoring or acting on the title of an AwwA-member. Which ironically, is not anonymous at all. Entry to this guild is free for anyone by drinking 72 potent vodka's in a row. And equipping the alcoholism shield when approaching other members or the guild itself (if it exists at all).
 * TheSmileBC (back in the day he was only a Horse-Lord of Rohan under the name of b_boymasterman, later more well known as Arantoer_II).
 * Evil_Mogwai, former King of Dunland.

The Black Council
A Council consisting of all leaders and significant players in evil. The head of the council is Legodude247 as Melkor. The representatives of the council are as follows:
 * Iluvatar's_Bane (Gundabad)
 * SirWilsonGS (Gundabad)
 * Grievous1138 (Gundabad)
 * SpadeCompany (Isengard)
 * Aidansebastian (Mordor)
 * Lord_Morghash_IV (Gundabad)
 * Ghash_Max (Isengard)
 * Faylynn (Angmar)

 * shamiir (Near Harad)

 * EzioDiAuditore (Isengard)
 * OBSIDIAN_FOX (Mordor)

The Union Of Númenor
The Union of Númenor began shortly after the coronation of Skelesam as 2nd Chieftan of Arnor, and Atanvarno 5th King of Gondor. Shortly after the Union began, the Shire under Thain_Vibiras also joined, adding further to the strength of the Union. The Council of Númenor was established quickly, consisting of Rangers, Gondorians and Halflings, the full extent of the Council is shrouded in mystery.

The aim of this Union is to unite the Dúnedain of the North and South to create an even larger force to work for the Good of Middle Earth, and defend it from those who would see the Free People harmed. Arnor left the Union some time ago, but is still allied to the remaining members.

Factions:
 * Gondor
 * Hobbits
 * Numenorean Umbar
