It's for 3e, but it'd be easy enough to update to 5e. <a href="http://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/6/Fantasy-Flight-Games/subcategory/36_42/Midnight" target="_blank">http://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/6/Fantasy-Flight-Games/subcategory/36_42/Midnight</a>(And the books are often available online for pretty cheap.)It's a lower magic dark fantasy world. The dark god Izrador, the Shadow in the North, was imprisoned on the world, cutting it off from the other gods. The Shadow and its army of orcs and foul creatures waged war on the mortal races of the world, but the armies of humans, dwarves, and elves united to stand against the Shadow. But they lost.Now it's a hundred years later. The Shadow has rules virtually unopposed over the human lands for a century.  Writing is illegal, weapons are illegal, and magic is illegal. The Shadow's orcs are slowly digging down into the last remaining dwarven fortress and the elves retreated to their forests, which are slowly being cut down and burned.Basically, it's Lord of the Rings if Sauron got the One Ring, and then tortured Gandalf and Aragorn for years until they changed sides.</blockquote>
