Roles Applying for:  Andreth, Bregor



Note: Since some parts of our applications would overlap, we decided to combine our applications into one. So, for some of the questions, we have provided a general answer from both of us first and then more specific answers from each of us.



History:  Bregor and Andreth were the two older children of Boromir, the first Lord of Ladros in Dorthonion. According to The War of the Jewels , they also had a younger sister named Beril. Bregor was part of the guard of Ladros, helping to maintain the Siege of Angband. He was especially known for his skill as an archer. At the time the server starts in F.A. 400, he is married with five children: a fourteen-year-old daughter (Bregil), an eleven-year-old daughter (Hirwen), a seven-year-old son (Bregolas), a three-year-old daughter (Gilwen), and a newborn son (Barahir).

When she was a young adult, she had met Aegnor, the younger brother of Finrod and Angrod and the older brother of Galadriel. The two fell in love, but because Elves do not marry in times of war or siege, Aegnor never asked for Andreth’s hand and they parted after a last meeting by the shores of Tarn Aeluin. Andreth thus became very bitter, believing that Aegnor had rejected her and that she was thought unworthy to marry an Elf. At the time the server starts, she is respected as a Wise-woman, knowing the lore of both the House of Bëor (her own house) and the House of Marach (the house of her relative Belemir’s wife Adanel). Andreth would often visit Adanel and Belemir, whom she was very close with and with whom she had lived for a while when she was growing up. She also loved to have discussions with Finrod, who would visit Dorthonion at times from Nargothrond.

We considered being Finduilas and Gil-galad, but since they were most likely young children at this point (if they were even born yet), we decided to apply for Andreth and Bregor instead.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">AdanethMirime: “Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth” is one of my absolute favorite Tolkien works (along with the Lay of Leithian). I have read it many times, so I think I understand Andreth’s character and personality well. I have always admired her wisdom and loved the story of her relationship with Aegnor. I think it would be very interesting to roleplay as her: as someone very close in friendship with both Elves and Men.

In my time playing Minecraft I have become an experienced archer. It is said that Bregor’s weapon of choice was his famous bow, which I would call Bragolgurth, and it would be my first choice as well.

I will probably spend most of my time farming and exploring the lands of Ladros in search of lore books. I may perhaps write some of my own, as well. Feel free to visit my house and drop in for a chat (only if you’re a good player, of course)! I would also love to help with some of the Ladros builds, especially the interior parts of buildings.

I will spend most of my time defeating Orcs that come too close to Ladros and keeping them confined in Angband. I would show Bregor’s many fine qualities of leadership as heir to the lordship of Ladros and as a diplomat, of sorts, with the elves of Dorthonion. My home would be open to anyone who would like to aid in protecting Ladros.

In addition, we are both avid Tolkien fans and have good knowledge of our characters. We will respect all staff members and abide by all server rules.

Besides reading <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">The Silmarillion <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">, I have read much of the History of Middle-earth series. I know a bit of both Sindarin and Quenya (mostly nouns and adjectives, though). In addition, I am proficient in the use of the Tengwar script for English, Quenya, and Sindarin.

For instance, I have started to learn Tengwar, the script of the Elves.

I have been playing the LOTR Minecraft mod for many months now and am very comfortable with the PVP style of the mod. I have never done roleplay before, but I am very eager to start learning. As for other servers, I have dabbled here and there in parkour, PVP, and factions.
