Sands of Harad: Discussion

Curubethion · 03-24-2006, 06:40 PM

Alatar nodded, and replied, "Good. There is one task, however. Curmaar was not one of us, but a man of the Haradrim. Even though his family is dead, he deserves to lie at rest in his fatherland. I will need a hero or two to carry his body to Harad for burial."

The premise of this RPG is this journey. Anyone who played in Assassin's Shadow may play their previous character, as long as that character is not in Mithrilstone-because this RPG is taking place at the same time. Anyone else can join in as a wandering warrior met along the way, or as one of the Haradrim.

This RPG will not be a huge epic RPG, but rather a somewhat humble tale of a simple quest. No huge armies, no incredibly epic demigods dueling...but still fun.

Hope you enjoy! I'll get the game thread started when we get enough players...

rohirrim TR · 03-24-2006, 07:11 PM

hmm I'll edit my post for mithrilstone and send Curamir over to Harad a vacation would be good for him

Curamir: ranger dude, as in human bi pedal species: genus Numenorii

age: umm 30 something I think
weapons: sword and longbow, carrys a dagger.

Curubethion · 03-24-2006, 08:02 PM

Hey cool. I love your first line in his description!

Acalewia · 03-25-2006, 11:33 AM

I may have Elnar in this one.

Curubethion · 03-27-2006, 12:18 AM

Okay. Also, if you want to keep your character in Ms, you can make a character in the escort. Most likely, there's going to be Rangers going along with it. Which fits in with Curamir-he's most likely the leader of the escort in this case.

Lady Willow Rose · 03-27-2006, 12:51 AM

Name: Nessa Oronar
Age: 23
Appearance: Medium build, tan skin, blue eyes, long red hair.
Race: Human
Profession: Wanderer

"I have itchy feet, you see. I can't stay in one place too long or the itching gets to burning and I have to hot foot it on out of there."

rohirrim TR · 03-27-2006, 02:54 PM

Hluor:
ranger, human bipedal species, genus Dunedainus
weapons: sword, bow, knowledge of the wild.
age: 73 (looks like 30)

Acalewia · 03-28-2006, 02:07 PM

Name: Elnar
Age: almost 3,000
Race: Half elf (looks more human then elf)
Gender: Male
Profession: Dunedain
Appearance: Golden brown hair cut to his shoulders. Sturdy build and tall.
History: Elnar is the youngest of four children. Around the age of sixteen, his father was killed by orcs. Soon sfter his mother departed to the Undying Lands. After his brothers' deaths, he went with his sister to Mirkwood, then to Lothlorien.A few years later, Elnar and Acalewia parted ways. In Rivendell, he sharpened his healing skill under the guidence of Elrond.
About a thousand years ago, he foolishly fought against a corrupted elf. The battle nearly killed him and left him under the Shadow for three days. He never told anyone what had happened.
Towards the end of the War of the Ring, Elnar traveled the Paths of the Dead with a group of Dunedain led by Aragorn. He never forgot that experance.
Recently, Elnar fled South when a madness overtook the villiage of Bree. He returned with two compainions. He is now enroute to Harad, to bury one companion, Cumaar...

Curubethion · 03-29-2006, 10:34 PM

Excellent. I think I'll start this once Ms is on its feet.

Acalewia · 04-18-2006, 01:37 PM

I added Elnar's history. I hope this helps out a little.

Lady Willow Rose · 04-18-2006, 02:38 PM

Well, are we all set?

Damn to the depths whatever man thought up the 90 second rule!

Udukhaturz · 04-18-2006, 06:02 PM

Curubethion, is this RPG limited only to those who were in Assassin's Shadow and Mithrilstone?

Lady Willow Rose · 04-18-2006, 06:15 PM

Of course not!

But that's just what I think. Curubethion may have a totally different set of rules.

Lady Willow Rose, thanks! I will be working on a bio.

Acalewia · 04-19-2006, 01:03 PM

Curub has the RPG open for anyone who wishes to join. The characters from AS are in it but, as our loremaster states in the first post, you can play a Ranger in the escort, a wanderer, or a Haradrim.
Correct me, Loremaster, if I'm wrong.

Udukhaturz · 04-19-2006, 03:53 PM

Unless Curubethion says otherwise, you can count me in. Here is the bio for the character:

Name: Ulfast son of Lomin
Age: 35
Appearance: Average build and height, dark eyes, mustache and beard; nothing distinguishing about him
Race: Human
Profession: Wandering Haradaric tribesman/herder, sometimes raider and warrior

Curubethion · 04-20-2006, 10:52 PM

Excellent! Actually, Udu, a character registration like yours is exactly what I was hoping for! I'd really like some more people in here...by no means is this excluded to non-Assassin's Shadow people.
You're also welcome to be in Mithrilstone. It's only begun, actually. Right now, we've got a need for dwarven colonists of Moria (4th Age), or you could just be a character who pops in to say hello. (and hopefully sticks around for an adventure!

) Currently, there's characters in Lorien, and near Moria.
Okay, I'm just about ready to start. How about everyone else?

Name: Atarion
Race: Gondorian Human
Age: 25
Appearance: Medium build, fairly tall. Blue eyes and darkish hair. Wears Ranger garb...you all know what that looks like, right?

Profession: Ranger-in-training
Personality: Has a penchant for getting into trouble, and sometimes won't obey completely. However, if he matures, he could be one of the strongest-willed men in Gondor.
History: Grew up in Minas Tirith...father was a saddlemaker. Hung around with the Rangers whenever they showed up in MT, and finally, when he was 19, decided to join them. He's gone through 6 years of training, and is almost ready to become a full-fledged Ranger. This last mission is the final step.

I think that, since Curamir is Faramir's son, he'll captain the escort.

Lady Willow Rose · 04-20-2006, 11:07 PM

We Are Ready To Rumble! :d

Freakin' 90 second rule.

Lady Willow Rose · 04-20-2006, 11:51 PM

Yay! It's begun!

Wait, what? Willow's in this?

Curubethion, thanks. If I find I have time, I might climb aboard the Mithrilstone rpg. I have never portrayed a dwarf before. It might be interesting. I should be able to rock and roll tomorrow. I just saw it tonight that the RPG had opened.
