Welcome Dark Riders and Orcs alike to:
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
Ash nazg thrakutulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
Return of the Rings 2010
Ah, we've come to it again, Return of the Rings 2010! Various events will be held, in which anyone is allowed to partake in, whether you can or can't write or make graphics, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. And almost as importantly, as you join these events, you win points for our team at the same time. [This part was stolen from JF, seeing as we are evil and may take what we please when we want it]. My job as your evil overlord/overlady will be to tally up each and every point we receive throughout RotR and keep you up to date as to the latest news and challenges. I am here to answer any questions you may have [though it may cost you for being super inquisitive *whistles evilly*]. Throughout RotR there will be chances for members to show off their skills as writers, artists, strategists, and so much more. This year we are doing things a bit differently by dividing members up into Teams who will then compete for victory! [This part was also stolen]. So basically this thread is to hang out and get to know your fellow <s>Orcs</s> teammates. Let's make this year one to remember and claim what is rightfully ours!
Spawns of Darkness (Members):
Narnûlubat (Aramel Elyanwe) ~ 1 Point
Bashkuga (Eruraina) ~ 1 Point
Ufthak (Lady Rinoa) ~ 1 Point
Lugbûrzum (Mrs. Haldir) ~ 0 Points
Barash (Goldleaf) ~ 1 Point
Point Total: 4 Points
[Seeing as JF had the wonderful idea of generated names I have added the link as well should you like to find yourselves a dark Orcish name to make use of! <a href="http://www.thelandofshadow.com/mordorgate/darkdownloads/blackspeech/orcname.htm" target="blank">Find Your Orc Name!</a> Remember this is only for fun, not something you should change your username for.]
Check back here frequently for new challenge updates!
Challenge 1
Create either a) a flag b) a poster or c) a song that is related to Mordor. One entry per person, and you have to choose one medium from the above listed. Take a stab at creating a flag worthy of Sauron, or a song so vicious that the orcs chant it on their way to war. The more participation the more points!
*New! Challenges 2&3
You can find both challenges on the contest page. One challenge is a puzzle, though prepare yourselves because it will take some time... The second challenge is a re-write challenge where you can take any scene from LotR and re-write it from a different perspective (Prologue from Sauron's POV, destruction of the Ring from the Ring's POV...etc...).
SUPPORT TEAM MORDOR:
I knew my inner baddie would be unleashed this year. 
*evil laugh here*
Whoo! What's this I hear about skewered hobbits? 
Now I have to organize a raid against my old High School for thier sporks.... My hobbit is getting cold and I think I hear Gondor coming to get me and my meal. 
There will be much destruction with my spork once I finish my hobbit. *twitch* Must get more sporks!!!!!! *plans the attack on her old high school*
