Ok, thanks for answering me.

Role: Maedhros the Tall

Faction: Fëanorians

Why I would be good for this role: I'm experienced as a leader, a capable PvPer, and posess unparalleled knowledge towards fortifying an area. Furthermore, I have a deep knowledge of the lore, and will act within the bounds of my character while RPing.

What I know about Maedhros: Arriving in Beleriand from the Undying Lands, Maedhros, eldest son of F ëanor  has seen the Noontide of the Blessed Realm, the Doom of Mandos, and the evils of his own people. From both the Kinslaying at Alqualondë and the Ship-Burning at Losgar, he has repented, and repaid for such evils dearly, watching his beloved father die in his arms. For as it was said of F ëanor, so it was for Maedhros: "his father was dearer to him than the Light of Valinor... and who among sons, of Elves or of Men, have held their fathers of greater worth?" The presumptive High King of the Noldor, he was captured alive by Morgoth and held to a peak of Thangorodrim by the foul magics of Morgoth, until his rescue after some 30 years. Now missing his right hand (might have to make this the left hand, because of Minecraft) he gave the Kingship to Fingolfin, a personal sacrifice to save the Noldor from further sundering. Now, servant to the High King only nominally, Maedhros rules over the March of Maedhros: The Hill of Himring and the lands surrounding. With the Oath of F ëanor striving against his morals, Maedhros is occasionaly driven to desperation. The mighty fortress atop Himring has withstood many attacks (if this is closer to 500 F.A.) and due to numerous retouchings, will withstand many more.

Past Experiences being the leader of a faction: I've been the Right Hand of the King of Arnor, the King of Rohan, the King of the Easterlings, and most recently, the High King of the Sindar himself, Elu Thingol, all within the past 2 years on the server Isildur's Bane.

Reliability: I am usually on about 4-5 times a week. Often more, notably during the summer months. The players Turramarth, Azog2015, and jimmy_dude can speak to my reliability. If you need more to vouch for me, I can probably get 777c, pdkerr1931, and Rangere1 to put a good word in for me, provided that they remember who I am.

Thank you for reading this far, and thank you for considering me for this role.
