Greetings staff of the First Age Server! I would like to say that I am hoping for a new role based around the "mythology" of Tolkien's universe!

What is my character that I am proposing?

After delving into the depths of Tolkien's gateway, I found something that extremely intrigued me. The Úmaiar, or Evil Spirits. I also took great interest in the Two Watchers and Unseen.  I am proposing to be Raug Adel i Morchant, or in English, <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'TrebuchetMS';color:#3a3a3a;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Demon Behind the Shadow <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'TrebuchetMS';color:#3a3a3a;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">. First of all, what exactly am I in regards to Tolkien's lore? Well as evident in the lore of the First Age, Melkor was having fun with all those wonderfully nasty spirits and breeding trouble. First of all, <span

He soon settled in the forests of Taur-nu-Fuin due to the corruption and evil that was being brought upon that fair forest. <span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'TrebuchetMS';color:#454545;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Raug Adel i Morchant <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'TrebuchetMS';color:#3a3a3a;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">enjoys roaming the woods into nearby Ladros, where he tends to terrify the men and children of small villages with his trickery. He loves to act as a person's or a thing's shadow, especially during sunset and at night, he gives nearby people headaches, as well as the feeling that they are being watched. Sometimes, even the local townspeople claim to hear this evil spirit's evil laugh as it echoes through the nearby lands. Although he is not very powerful in regards to strength and power, he is a spirit of trickery, and cunning.

It is also close to Ladros, where this trickster's victims lie.

I don't think I'm giving enough time to properly lead a faction. I would love a more laidback role, that creates a more interesting roleplay theme around him.

"Sometimes you can even see the shadows wandering through the woods, gives me the creeps. -Buird, Farmer of Ladros"



"Sometimes I feel like something is watching me, lurking in the shadows, *shudders*, -Larl, Lumberman of Ladros"
