My submission for the contest
Cuwe, called Iauril
Cuwe (u with a dash, e with an umlaut) began his life by the Waters of Awakening in Cuivienen (it is said by some that the first Elves numbered 144). As he awoke, his eyes rested on Menelmacar, and he cried out to Varda with joy. From the beginning, he was akin with Nowe (Cirdan), but of lesser stature (though greater physical prowess). From the beginnings of the Elves in those starlit days, Cuwe was a great hunter and was the most skilled with the bow (some say he is the inventor of the bow).
When Orome finally came upon the Quendi, Cuwe was greatly enamoured. During the hunter’s visits to Middle-Earth Cuwe often travelled with him and learned much of the hunters’ art. It was because of this love of Orome that he set forth with the Teleri (for in his heart he loved the starlite world of Middle-Earth).
The heart of Cuwe was rarely at peace, desiring as he did to explore the trackless wildernesses that the elves passed through (always too quickly for Cuwe’s taste). Always he found himself toward the rear of the great Teleri migration, and he spent much time with Lenwe hunting east of the Misty Mountains. He came near to departing with the Nandor, but in the end Elwe convinced him to continue on. He crossed into Beleriand, and there,(as has been told elsewhere) Elwe Singollo was lost in the forest of Eglador (Doriath).
When Olwe and the rest of the Teleri left for Valinor, Cuwe (called Iauril “old brilliance”, by younger elves) remained behind with Cirdan and the Falathrim. It was during this time that he learned of the music of Middle-Earth from Ulmo and Osse, and he grew to love them and the shores of Middle-Earth as he had loved Orome and longed for Valinor. But still he longed for the West.
The fire of Iauril’s spirit did not let him rest long in one place. Though the Falas was his home, he spent much of his time wandering with Elwe’s household, the Eglath.
When Elwe, called Thingol, was found again, Iauril returned to the Falas and, under Cirdan, took up the lordship of one of the two great ports there. (my note: Brithombar, as it seems Cirdan was in Eglarest (silmarillion pg 96). Here three ages of peace passed while Melkor remained chained in Valinor.
Here he remained until Melkor called Morgoth returned and with hordes of orcs invaded the Falas and drove Cirdan and Iauril to the sea. Iauril, making a daring raid into the orcish ranks, was cut off from the rest of the Falathrim. With a small band of warriors from Brithombar, they made their way through the enemy lines until they came for Doriath and joined with Thingol’s host. But the Falathrim mourned for his apparent loss, for he had been the greatest of the warriors and the most stalwart defender of Brithombar.
With Thingol’s host, Iauril took part in the first of the great Battles of Belariand. But the victory was bittersweet for Iauril, for he was too late to save Denethor, son of his friend Lenwe, and long he rued this.
Great was the joy of the Falathrim when Iauril returned to them following the coming of the Noldor and the second Battle of Beleriand. Great friendship there was between Cirdan and Finrod, and Iauril was ever foremost in bolstering the defences of the Falas from attack.For several hundred years the Falathrim and Noldor enjoyed peace and cooperation in West Beleriand, while Morgoth remainded in Angband, under siege by his foes.
What else to say of Iauril’s part in the Great War? He was there when the ships of Cirdan sailed up the Firth of Drengist, rescuing Fingon in his great need. He was there during the fifth battle, Nirnaeth Arnoediad, when the hosts of the Eldar were crushed and man turned against man. After the great loss in that battle he harried the seashore with the boats of Cirdan. He held the walls of Brithombar to the last when Morgoth’s armies came, and escaped only by leaping into the sea. He went with Cirdan’s people to the Isle of Balar, and entered the service of Ereinion Gil-galad.
Little is known of what other journeys he may have made from then to the end of the Wars when Morgoth was cast into the void. When Beleriand was ruined he went with Cirdan and Gil-galad to Lindon.
Iauril was crushed to death by Sauron during the Siege of Barad-dur

Hope you enjoy these guys!
Well, there you have it, minus equipment and 10 epic feats for the third version (Iauril in Lindon). I'll be emailing these to Mr. Black, correct?
This basically took me the whole afternoon, with interruptions, plus a few weeks of trying to decide what to submit for the contest.

One of the favored enemies of my submission is "Aberrations of Morgoth". This would include whatever things that go bump in the night, those that stole elves to make into orcs, the watcher in the water, the mount of the nazgul, nasty spiders, and whatever other cthuluesque things you imagine lurking under caradhras or in utumno of old. Basically the evil creatures Orome hunted at the beginning of time).
edit:
ACK! Some of the skills in the Iauril in Lindon are incorrect! I forgot to add in the bonus from the ability increase in dex. All dex skills should be two higher. I am currently editing my previous post

Here are the details for the contest, which can also be found on the Middle Earth d20 Conversion Site:
"Middle Earth D20 Best Original Character Contest
September 15th - October 22nd, 2002
More than a year ago members of the EN World community began discussing a Dungeons and Dragons 3E conversion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth. These discussions led to the creation of many game conversion documents and the hosting of the Middle Earth D20 website by EN World. Now, in the interest of promoting the creation of new and original content for the site, we are proud to announce the Middle Earth D20 Best Original Character Contest.
Please design an original character (villainous or heroic, mundane or epic, PC or NPC) suitable for campaign set in Middle Earth. Provide enough detail about the character (including stats, personality, background, and hooks) so that a DM can incorporate them into their existing campaign. Submit your character in text or html format to MiddleEarthD20@yahoo.com with subject line “MED20 Character Contest” by October 22nd, 2002.
Entrants are strongly encouraged to use the Dungeons and Dragons core rulebooks (including the Epic Level Handbook). If material is drawn from other sources, please cite the source. Please refrain from using house rules in your submission.
The contest judges are Jeff Black (colonelhardisson@hotmail.com), Derek Poppink (dpoppink@yahoo.com), and Scott Holden-Jones (sholdenj@uwo.ca). They will rate each entry on a scale of one to ten in three categories:
Suitability – Does the character fit in with Middle Earth themes and settings?
Creativity – Is the character interesting and well developed?
Flexibility – Can the character be used in a variety of storylines with few changes?
The results of the contest will be announced November 12th, and the winner will receive a copy of the Fellowship of the Ring DVD (Platinum Series Extended Edition). All submissions will be archived on the Middle Earth D20 website.
Many thanks to Morrus for hosting the website and putting up the prize. Thanks also to the Spelljammer Mailing List for the inspiration."
