The Lieutenant of Barad-Dur arrived the banks of the River Hoarwell, just east of the Trollshaws. For some time, he had been searching for the Ring of Power, the ultimate weapon. This Ring would tip the balance in the war upon Middle-Earth. As he approached the river, the Mouth of Sauron could feel power, darkness engulfing him and his surroundings. He could sense the Ring was close. He dismounted his horse and waded knee deep into the water. He could hear something speaking to him, perhaps it was the Ring, perhaps it was his master, or perhaps it was both.
He reached his hand into the water and suddenly the Ring found his hand, as if it had a will of its own. The Lieutenant of Barad-Dur lifted his closed hand out of the water. He opened his hand and the Ring was revealed. Suddenly, the Lieutenant began to speak:
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk
Writing on the Ring appeared as though it had been burned with fire. This was indeed the One Ring. The Mouth of Sauron finished the peom:
Agh burzum-ishi krimpatul
His task was done. Now all he had to do was return the Ring to his Master, and then it would begin. Suddenly, something caught the Lieutenant's eye on the far side of the river. He looked up to see Gandalf the Grey, sword drawn, mounted upon a white steed.
"I heard rumours of the Mouth of Sauron roaming about these parts," the Wizard began., "but I did not believe them."
"Leave, old man, before you expierence the wrath of Mordor," the Mouth of Sauron warned. "I have the Ring now, and soon Sauron will have it, and then your world will fall."
"I shall not let you leave here unchecked," Gandalf stated.
"You cannot defeat me, no more than you can defeat Dark Lord himself," the Lieutenant hissed.
Gandalf could feel his spirit weakening, as if some spell had been cast upon him, "Saruon will never rule Middle-Earth. Not as long as King Elessar sits upon his throne, not as long as the powers of Rivendell and Lorein remain."
The Mouth of Sauron laughed, "Are you so foolish as to believe that Men and Elves are the true Lords of Middle-Earth?" He cackled again, "Sauron has entered the souls of all who walk upon Middle-Earth beckoning them to make war and destroy each other, even the Elessar himself. Sauron is weakening Middle-Earth for his onslaught that is soon to come.”
Fear began to creep into Gandalf’s mind, heart...and soul. He knew what the Mouth of Sauron was saying was true. Deep down inside himself, he knew.
“Do you know why Sauron forged the One Ring? Why he mingled his own blood in its creation?” the Lieutenant of Barad-Dur asked.
Gandalf just stood speechless as the Lieutenant pierced into the very depths of Gandalf's being.
“Sauron forged the One Ring to attain himself enough power to....overthrow Morgoth,” the Lieutenant laughed again. “It has begun Gandalf, soon the Door of Night will open, and you know what happens then....eternal darkness.”
Gandalf snapped out of the trance. He lifted up his staff as a bright light began to shine from it. “Enough of this,” he said, sending the ray of light toward the Mouth of Sauron. Suddenly, a ring of shadow and flame leaped from the Ring engulfing the ray of light and launching back at Gandalf. The ring shadow and flame collided with Gandalf, breaking his staff and knocking him off his horse.
“So passes Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgrim,” the Lieutenant laughed. He mounted his horse and rode east.
The Lords of Middle Earth - Part II: Door of Night
Middle Earth is in chaos. The once fruitful alliance between Men and Elves has long ended. Every king of every land of Middle-Earth has turned to greed and power, forsaking their history. Wars are raging across all lands, engulfing everything that is green and good.
All the while the power of the Dark Lord is growing. The Mouth of Sauron, the Lieutenant of Barad-Dur, has found the One Ring and destroyed the great wizard, Gandalf. With the Ring in hand, Sauron is preparing to launch his final assault upon Middle-Earth.
With the fate of Middle-Earth in the balance, the Elven King Elrond has called for a council with those still under the light. It now falls to the Lords of Middle-Earth to answer the call, to put aside their differences, and to unite to stop the impending darkness that awaits them...
Note
This is NOT a strategy game in the likeness of System Lords or The Lords of Middle-Earth, even though the story takes place and is involved with the original Lords of Middle-Earth RP, this will be an adventure game more in the style of the books themselves.
Here is the original LOME: Lords of Middle-Earth

You can take characters from the films if you’d like, the only exceptions being: Gandalf (he is dead) and Sauron. You may also make original characters.

Bio:
Usilidur’s father was a human and his mother was an elf. The two fell in love and Usilidur’s mother went with his father back to Gondor. They were married there and before a great battle Usilisur was conceived. His father died in the battle and when his mother found out she was overcome with grief. She left Gondor to live with her mother and found that she was no longer welcome with her people. She was exiled and climbed up Misty Mountain and gave birth to Usilidur in a field. She built a small house for him to live and they survived. During the birth Usilidur’s mother could have transferred some of her immortality to Usilidur or all of it.
He also came out different. He had the elegance of an elf and the strength of a human. His features were a mix of the two. However, the most surprising this about the boy were his eyes. His mother began to feel the strains of age and guessed what had happened during the carriage of Usilidur. She immediately began training him in sword fighting and in the ways of a bow. Using his strange mixed abilities he was able to learn quickly.
Before his mother died she gave him the armor of her grandfather that she had kept after being exiled. He accepted the gift quietly and did not cry as his mother left the world. Usilidur went to Gondor and enrolled himself in an academy to become a tower gaurd like his father. While at the academy he was noticed by King Aragorn. Aragorn recognized his talent and trained him himself. Aragorn and Usilidur became friends and friendly rivals, even though Aragorn had his duties. Usilidur tried to go to his mother’s home and learn his heritage there but when discovered for what he was he was shunned.
He lives in Gondor in a suite given by the king.

To Avoid Some Confusion:
This is an AU RP. Everything in the LOTR books never happened. Aragorn sits upon the throne of Gondor, and Gollum never found the ring. If you have any questions, just PM me.

Evalynn lived a simple life before the war of the ring. Being of the Rohan, Evalynn was around horses a lot and worked as a stable hand with her father in the hill fort of Edoras, looking after the horses of rohans riders. A curious and strong willed young woman, Evalynn was nearly always reprimanded by “not knowing a woman’s place” She learned to handle a sword in her early teens as well as how to ride. She became very skilled and soon she received a horse of her own, which she named Lunafaire, as a gift of thanks for her service to the Rohirrim.
She also became attracted to a young rider called Arabryn who thought her slightly rebellious side was endearing, and started a relationship with him, much to the delight of her family. It was also rumoured that the two would be wed, and the future looked bright for them both
But soon, unrest began to make itself apparent in the kingdom of Rohan. Wars are raging; the once good ruler of Rohan is now greedy and hungry for power. Rumours of a great and powerful darkness rising, causes great fear and panic. Her family fled in fear. Arabryn, forced to perform his duties as an outrider, his destination is unknown. Unable to stand for the justifications of these new wars, Evallyn rides away from Rohan, looking for refuge from the wars and an answer to the reason for the darkness and bloodshed

GM APPROVED
Name: Valbrand
Age: 25
Species: Man
Affiliation: Dale
Home Country: Dale
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 203 lbs.
Eyes: Green
Hair: Dark brown, shoulder length
Clothing: Valbrand typically wears light clothing that allows ease of movement, and is reinforced with stiffened leather for defensive purposes. The fabric is of a shade of blue so dark it nearly looks black. He also wears a black leather belt that holds his knife, axe, and other tools, black leather boots, and a cloak of the same color as his clothing.
Weapons/Equipment: Valbrand's primary weapon is a longbow made of strong and sturdy Elven wood, which was a gift from King Thranduil of Mirkwood. When fighting up-close he wields a long knife and a one-handed, single-bladed fighting axe, the axe having been forged for him by the Dwarves of Erebor. Both double as utilities when Valbrand is out in the wilderness.
Additional Features: Due to Dale's proximity to Mirkwood and the Lonely Mountain, Valbrand has a very good relationship with both Elves and Dwarves. He is fluent in Sindarin, and even has some knowledge of the Dwarves' secret language.
Bio: Valbrand is the younger son of the current King of Dale. His mother comes from a noble Gondorian family, and was wed to Valbrand's father to cement an alliance between Gondor and Dale. He is descended from Bard the Bowman, who slew the dragon Smaug and restored the ancient kingdom of Dale several decades ago.
To help further Dale's relationship with Mirkwood and the Lonely Mountain, young Valbrand spent some time as a ward in both realms, learning their customs and languages. He became a skilled woodsman and fighter, his natural talent with the bow only enhanced by his training with the Woodland Elves.
With Dale falling under the same troubles as most other realms, Valbrand was sent to Rivendell to act as its emissary in place of his father. While Dale is a young kingdom compared to Gondor and Rohan, Valbrand is eager to prove that they are just as worthy of being a part of Elrond's council.

OOC: Since there are only two players that are "evil", I'm going to ask them that they submit a character sheet that is a "good guy", so that they may interact with the other players. I'm also going to ask that any further characters added be good.
IC: Elrond
Rivendell
Dusk. It is a strange time, it is not in the day, but yet it is not in the night. Dusk lies upon all of Middle-Earth, it doesn't change into day, just into night and back to dusk again. A shadow has fallen, a sign of the times. Lord Elrond pondered these thoughts as strangers began riding into Rivendell.
Rivendell itself has changed. It is no longer that jewel of the west, as it used to be. No longer does it shine with Elven beauty. It is dull and lifeless. Even the river that runs through its heart is murky. Yes, even the water is succumbing to the darkness.
But yet, some form of hope still exists, even if it is minute. The old elf still believes that Middle-Earth can be saved, that they apocalypse can be averted. But all that lies with the other Lords of Middle-Earth as they ride into Rivendell.
TAG: Everyone
OOC: I'm finally glad to get this started.
