Second Age RP?

Voronwen · 09-22-2009, 02:46 PM

Does anyone here share my great love of the Second Age, enough to enjoy some RP which takes place in that era?

What i have in mind would be high-quality, canon-informed RP, to take place in Numenor.

If anyone is interested in starting something like this, please let me know.

I might be game for a small role. (I've got three other RPG's I have to keep up with, so I can't invest too heavily in a fourth one.)

Do you have an idea as to what plot you'd like to run?

No concrete ideas for a plot as of yet. I want to see what kind of interest there is in this, first, and how many people we'd be working with.

I'm afraid I'm most interested in the Elven communities of Middle-earth, even for that era. So if there's contact with Gil-galad's court (which there is canonically, especially early on), I might be interested - but that depends mostly on your plotline.

And then you would need more players, one set for each side of the sea ...

Unless an Elf might come to visit?

Well, my idea is to have something that is ongoing, perhaps several mini-plots, spanning quite a bit of time. I'm still deciding

So, something like this would definitely be possible.

You could always create an Elven character from Tol Eressëa

I'm afraid I know even less about Tol Eressëa than about Numenor - what should I read to find out more?

Well, i wouldn't presume to tell an Elf about one of their lands

I'm not an authority on Elvish places by any stretch, but we know from the Akallabêth that Elves from this island visited Numenor.

Quote:

And thence at times the Firstborn still would come sailing to Numenor in oarless boats, as white birds flying from the sunset. And they brought to Numenor many gifts: birds of song, and fragrant flowers, and herbs of great virtue.

Later on this friendship was outlawed. This is why the Faithful were given the Palantiri.
