Message: <blockquote data-quote="Errant" data-source="post: 1403639" data-attributes="member: 1926">Wow. Thanks for the positive feedback.RangerWickett - I'm picturing the central lands of Gondor, Rohan & Eriador to have been largely peaceful, but lots of ongoing skirmishes with Shadow creatures (aka evil monsters) around the border areas. Thanks to King Elessar sending Gondorian troops to reinforce outlying areas, even the peaceful areas will have a few combat veterans. Plus, with the spread of magic the Valar take a more active interest in the affairs of men, sometimes travelling ME in spirit form & occasionally guiding those that seem suitable in the use of magic. While organised religions are (almost?) unheard of, clerics & druids could be followers of the Valars' teachings.Dr. Anomalous - I was certainly planning on Tolkienesque monsters (or at least those resembling them) being most common by far, but there should be plenty of room for rare abberations. Especially in the depths of Sauron & Melkor's old strongholds (even those "ruined" by the Valar in the First Age might still have a few deep, dark holes left over filled with all sorts of nasties).SSquirrel - I don't actually have Unearthed Arcana (nor does anyone in my group) but the suggestions here have just put it on my "To Get" list.AFGNCAAP - Ragadagast, of course! I wondered who King Elessar could have persuaded to head the college of wizardry. <a href="http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/" target="_blank">the Encyclopedia of Arda</a> says his home was Rhosgobel, on the western borders of the Mirkwood, & as far as I know there's no record of him leaving ME. As yet I haven't decided on what canon events have happened no, something I should apply myself to I guess.</blockquote>
