The Battle for Middle Earth...(revisited)

[mighty_half-elf]

Many years have passed since the War of the Ring. Aragorn is now in his 75th year of rule over Gondor. Eomer is also in his 75th year as King of the Mark. Merry is the Master of Buckland, he is now nearing the age of 96, Pippin is also getting older, he has become the head of the Took house. And Samwise Gamgee has now moved into Bag End with his darling wife Rose Cotton, and their many children. Gimli and Legolas built a ship not long after the war and set sail across the Great Water, never to be seen again. Faramir and Eowyn married, and became Lord and Lady of Ithillien. However, as all seems peaceful, a foul, nameless evil stirs in the South. In the ancient land of Harad, a fallen man has risen up and taken on a new form and name (I'll let someone else come up with a creative name). He has become a great shadow that now troubles the heart of Middle Earth. At this time, he is drawing up an army of trolls, giants, orcs, other corrupted men, and many other foul beasts. Gondorian rangers from Ithillien have watched this birth of evil and as our story begins, a man is riding North to Minas Tirith bearing this ill news. What happens next? You decide...
