I probably confused you by setting the Eotheod there in the first place. By rights they should be further northwest at this point anyway.With regard to chronology, and this kind of applies across the board for all players or visitors who choose to post in this thread, I intend to act as both GM/moderator and walking encyclopedia (to the best of my ability) during the character creation process and, to a lesser extent, during gameplay. I'm not the last word with all of Arda history, but  this particular period I've researched very thoroughly before setting the game in order to (hopefully) give players a genuine exploration of Middle-Earth circa TA 1874.Any chronological corrections I make are either FYI (to help with character creation process) or my own rambling. It's not my intention to be a pain in the ass pedant about the chronology and don't intend to spend the whole game banging on about it. Where a PC refers to a place that doesn't exist yet (if Aerec was wandering with his friends along the shores of Anduin and waxed lyrical on the beauty of Meduseld at this time of year, for example, when such a place doesn't yet exist) I'd correct you for purposes of keeping everyone abreast of what does or doesn't exist, has or hasn't happened and so forth. A sort of piecemeal introduction to the setting which will eventually build up to give you a sound idea of the world around your character.As I mentioned in my first post, knowledge of the chronology isn't a requirement at all. I'm just happy to have a willing audience to whom I can blather on about Lord of the Rings history and who isn't my girlfriend. I think she's quite glad too <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
