User blog:Commandogregor1234/Tauredain Lore! (Updated to make it less fallout-y)

Hey everyone! Here's another hurtling lore missile comin at ya, full speed!

Early Tauredain

The Tauredain originated from the great tribe that lived near Emyn Harn. They were the first to break off and form their own ethnic group. They decided to first settle down in the swamps.

Swamp Lyfe (Not to be confused with Thug life!)

Life in the swamps was rough. Frequent rain, little food, bugs, and crocodiles were just some of the problems the Tauredain faced. The Tauredain lived in tiny communities ruled by a mayor. These communities were usually 2-10 houses large, since food was scarce. Agriculture and Farming was pracitcally nonexistant, so they lived off of Crocodile meat.

Expanding past the swamps

Unhappy with the conditions in the swamplands, most of the Tauredain started to migrate south. For years they lived in camps and nomad huts across the savanna, some early Moredain (This is pre-blood feud) helping them out, bringing food of lion and zebra. They soon came across the jewel of the south: The Harad jungle. Immediately struck by its beuty, they tore apart their old religion to worship the Tree Gods and Mahogany Trees. The soil was very rich, and agriculture boomed! Obsidian gravel was soon found and forged into sharper-than-steel obsidian tools. They forged it into wood and other metals to make interestign combinations.

The rise (and downfall) of the greatest ME empire

Gold was the biggest advantage of the jungle. Gold was very common. So were giant Eliphants known as the Mumakil, or Oliphants. They worshipped these as their sacred animal. Varnished in gold and silver, their empire soon grew to be better than Gondor, better than the Rangers and better than the Fertile Haradrim. The new tauredain emporer soon wanted dominance.... so they attacked the Limwaith, thinking they were the weakest link. They weren't. They fought long and hard, familiar with the terrain and marshlands of their mangrove. While fighting was going on their, the government started to crumble. Civil wars started and the people's spirits were breaking. The Moredain, in need of power, land, and resources, attacked the Tauredain capitol, Toldaire. They destroyed the Golden Pyramid and proceeded to completely obliterate everything. Once every major city was destroyed, the Moredain left with Mumakil, leaving the people in ruins. The valueables that have been locked away in the Pyramids are sealed with spells. The Tauredain are now peaceful people, the stain of the Moredain never coming out. But soon, a new golden age will spark rebellion against the Moredain...
