Application

Character: Caranthir the Dark

IGN: Konradsoderlund

Faction Feanorians

Lore:

Caranthir "the dark" was the fourth son of Feanor and lord of Thargelion, he is referred to the most hot headed and harshest of the sons, this can be proven for example in Silmarillion chapter 13 The Return of noldor, during the mithrim meeting.

“Yea more! Let not the sons of Finarfin run hither and thither with their tales to this Dark Elf in his caves! Who made them our spokesmen to deal with him? And though they be come indeed to Beleriand, let them not so swiftly forget that their father is a lord of the Noldor, though their mother be of other kin.”

Anyway this prooves he does not really have much love for the Sindar or Finarfins kin which intrestingly i dont either have,I hate the arrogant elves of Doriath and Finarfin is finwe's son i like the least. Anyway he was born in aman and not much happend there, he took the oath of the silmarils and was in the battle against the Teleri.

He later followed his father to middle earth took part of the battle under the stars. He later followed Maedhros and the Feanorian followers to eastern Belerieand where they sat up their kingdoms. His realm was Thargelion between Ascar in south Ered lindon in east and Gelion in west, he fortified the hills and mountains of north Thargelion (which probally means he have some castles there, and eventually made his seat in the shores of lake Helevorn under mount Rerir. His people lived mainly in upper rivervalley around helevorn etc but also a bit in south, caranthirs people was also the first of the noldor to meet the dwarves and since the great dwarf road did go through his realm he controlled the trade from the dwarves mines, which made him wealthy.

(This make me think he most have a some sort of castle/fort on the road to be able to have customs) Also he later saved house Haleth from orcs year 420 but since the folk of haleth already lives in brethil i guess this already happend, aswell as the folk of Ulfang swore alliegence to him, but they are another faction on the server than they where in lore kind of so.

Why, Experience etc.

First of I do really like the sons of Feanor and Caranthir too, and some of his personalities match me a bit i am atleast on Internet quite quick to anger for

example and as i said i dislike same factions as I. Caranthir is too me a quite intresting character and have a nice place to build on, also Caranthir have been and is later in quite a few battles which would probally make him a quite skilled commander/warrior and im quite often in pvp so this makes sense to me. I also have done a quite bit or research various times about him and know quite a bit about him.

I would be a quite harsh and hot tempered but also a strong warrior as Caranthir, and I would sit back much in my own kingdom, and try to show of the wealth of Caranthir, i would build Caranthirs halls and probally later make some other castles atleast one on the dwarven road. I would probally not exactly do what he does in lore but what I do, i try to do as he would have done it.

I will not have much love for the Sindar but have generally good relations with Edain, Noldor (expect maybe Finarfin) and the dwarves. I want to control a bit of the Feanorian realm and keep it strong as it was in the lore.

I have been following the mod and playing it since around beta 11 somewhere, but I didn´t play on servers till like beta 25-26 because it didn´t really work to do so on technic launcher. I been rping quite a bit both in vanillia and lotr mod, and i been playing alot on Dome, and Second age server being a quite active and wellknown player on both. I also played but not that much on many other lotr mod servers.

Well that was my application, for Caranthir hope i get accepted. (Wiki format keeps doing weird things to it, so there might be some wrongs)
