Hello Gorbag here, this is my application for Maeglin, Son of Eöl. Pls note that I'm not a native speaker and therefore I apologise for my english.

Lore: (till FA 400)

Maeglin was the son of Eöl the dark elf and Aredhel, a elf from Gondolin and sister of Turgon, the king of the city. He was born in FA 320 in Nan Elmoth. His name was given when he was 12 means "sharp glance", however his mother called him secretly Lómion, what means "Child of Twilight".

When he was young, he often travelled to the dwarven cities of the blue mountains and learned alot from their smith skill and eventually became a good smith. However, he loved his mother more than his father and his heart longed for the hidden city of Gondolin, because he heard many tales from that city. He and his mother decided to leave Eöl and go back to Gondolin, before they went away, Maeglin stole Anguirel, a sword smith by his father. They didn't noticed that Eöl followed them. There I saw Idril and felt in love with her, although it was just a one sided love and she was my cousin.

My goals as Maeglin:

I want to keep his role as lore friendly as possible, as long I don't have to betray my faction. I will, like the real Maeglin wander arround in Gondolins surrounding area sometimes and look for ores etc. I will also be loyal to my faction (unlike the real Maeglin later on). I try to don't to the mistakes of the Lore Maeglin and be a helpful elf and will wield my blade against all enemies of my uncle and king Turgon and stay loyal to my mother Aredhel. My largest goal is to become a noble of the city and possibly the heir.

Why I want to be Maeglin:

He is, after Fëanor, my second favourite elf of the Early Arda because he is one of the most interesting characters of the Silmarillion and one of the most unique elves. He also lives in Gondolin, my favourite faction and city of Beleriand and also a very interesting place, I would love to have this style of gameplay.

Why choose me:

Well, if I'm honest, I don't think that I will do the role better than most other users, but I will really enjoy playing as him, because he is a very interesting character.

My ingame name is Gorbag12.

I'm looking forward to get the role, very much thanks for reading and again, I apologise for my english.
