hello there, right now i hold the role of durin and i would like to resign from this role and be switched to Galdor Lord of the house of the trees.

IGN: MasterInk

Faction: Gondolin/ House of the tree

lore:

Galdor was one of the 12 lords of the houses of gondolin and noted by his kin that in valour was the highest when compared to rog leader of the house of the hammer of the wrath. Galdor lead the house of the tree in the first age and was one of the only house lords to escape with his life during the battle/fall of Gondolin. He and his house were one of the two houses that first threw themselves at the forces of Morgoth and the balrogs upon the destruction of the gate of gondolin. It is also said that had it not been for Glador, Tuor would have been slain by the orcs while protecting a wounded ecthelion from orcs. (ecthelion later died by throwing himself at a balrog pushing them both into a fountain where they died).

after the battle when they managed to escape with Tuor they were the scouts for the women and childrin as 'they had eyes like cats in the dark'. it is said that years later they dwelt at the mouths of sirion and were known as the people, or folk of Galdor. Not much else is known about him exept the conspiracy theory that he could be the same galdor that Cirdan sent to Rivendell in the third age, although i personally don't believe this to be true it could be interesting.

Why i resigned from Durin:

I decided to resign from durin as i originally thought a different playstyle would be a lot more fun for me i decided i did not like it as much as being an elf. I also can't rp much as durin as a lot of my members are not active and the blue dwarves and i were not on very good terms at one point. i also was fed up with people having waypoints at my base as the blue dwarves were fast traveling from a distance and raiding me/ killing me often.

Why i would like to be Galdor:

i would like to be galdor as not much is known about him but i feel as though if any1 asks who was he i could confindently say he was one of the few surviving lords after the fall of gondolin, his house wore green, had spiked clubs and had slings and were one of the first to fight melkor.I also feel a lot more comfortable as an elf as for me it has a way different playstyle to a dwarf and i feel a lot safer as an elf especially in gondolin as no one may declare war on me and it would take them a while to find/get to my base if i make it in tumladden.

I would stay loyal to whoever controls Gondolin wether it be Aredhel or turgon as i see no point in being a maeglin (not the player but the role) as it can take the fun out of playing and just ruin another players experiance because this server is about Lore and fun, not about backstabbing each other.

Why i should be picked:

I have had experiance with this mod for about 9 months now and minecraft for 2 years so i know what i am doing with the normal mod, i have racked up a shamefull 3 days worth of playing on the server already and i feel as though i can play a lot more (if that is possible). i have also controlled khazad dum ( see my resignation above) so i know how to control a kingdom now and how to be firm but fair with my subjects, as with how i started to do when i first joined i plan to give out armour to new players that decide to apply and join gondolin or my house as i like to help out the people that can be most vulnerable especially if there are evil players nearby that could pose a threat.

So with that being said i would like to say thank you so far for such an awesome server! and i hope you choose me to lead this most prestigious of factions in gondolin.
