Morgoth, in his bid for middle earth, has swarmed the sources of the Naraog and Teiglin rivers, as well as the upper region of the Sirion. This place is know as the North-Marshes, and is gaurded by Doriath elves who call themselves "Marshwardens." At theis time, and unending war is being waged between the Marshwardens and the invading orcs.

Here are some sites about Children of Hurin:

http://www.tolkienlibrary.com/press/Chi ... in-FAQ.htm


As you might have gathered from my into, in this RP you'll miost likely be playing a marshwarden. And, since this is a middle earth RP, let me lay down some ground rules.

1) No un-middle-earthy powers, or I'll have to slap you upside the head. That means no telekenisis, no invisability power, or uber healing skill, please.

2) Try your very hardest to be an elf. I know its hard, but the truth is the marchwardens were elves. But, I will allow 2 of you to be humans. (Exceptions would be Turin. If any of you want to play him, be my guest)

3) Follow all the regular rules of RPing: No powerplaying, no swearing, common curtesy...I think you all know what I'm talking about.

I just HAVE to comment, because I found it funny *twitch* Deawen is twenty in my RP, which is during Sauron's time, and twenty here during Morgoth's time. *has a laughing fit* I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself I'm glad I'm not the only one who has fluctuating ages. I might consider joining, but I'll probably decide by tomorrow... I never read the book, sadly...

Don't worry about not having read the book! If you have any questions, ask me. I don't bite....usually. The premise is simple enough that you don't have to have read the book to play. Basically all we're going to do is beat the crud out of a couple of orcs, and follow whatever crazy plot twist comes our way.

lol...I finished the book...I can think of one word to describe the entire book, but I don't want to ruin the book, so I will keep my mouth shut

( if you think thats funny wait till you see Deawen's attitude in this rp. if you remember Deawen's always been sullen or dark. 20 is a good age not too old not too young. )

( I shall look forward to it then, Deawen, as always!)

Here is my character:

Name: Coraliaera Nuonnahel

Translation: Shadow Song of Legend, Keeper of the Ancient Tears

Race: Said to be an Elf but little is known of her.

Title: High Elf and Keeper of the Ancient Tears, Gem Stones of Light from the Land of Valinor.

Age: Unknown (I think she forgot... lol)

Appearance: Long black and somewhat wavy hair. Striking green eyes, light as a forest beech leaf with darker lines deep within. A face which is fair, though somewhat pale in complexion, with a kind smile. Slim, tall, yet with good strength, though it is hidden beneath a very ladyish figure.

Personality: Kind, caring, and a polite, proper manner, though can be witty and very mysterious at times. Has the air of royalty at times, but does well to hide this.

Attire: Though her figure suits well in a dress, she commonly wears tracker's attire, with a long, large cloak, dark in color.

Weapons: An elven sword, forged in Valinor, and an ancient dagger, made at the beginning of the elven times. Also wields a bow, light in color with intricate designs.

Other: Carries with her on a slender silver chain a pure white gem, more so a crystal, in the likeness of a tear.

History: Very mysterious, she comes and goes, so her history is very shadowed and for the most part unknown. The gem she carries is said to have been crafted from the pure light of the undying lands and wields power to enable the keeper to better gain knowledge, wisdom, and strength. Coraliaera is the keeper of such gems, though the others are hidden, rarely revealed, being a precious treasure to the elves and a gift from the Valar. These gems are named the Ancient Tears or the Tears of the Valar.

Coraliaera went through many battles and trials, though for the most part she traveled alone, prefering the stealth and secrecy of being unseen or unoticed.
