Almost all of this is straight outta the Appendix B of LOTR.-------It is autumn of the year 2953 of the Third Age. Faint rumblings of discord pass across the land like ripples on the surface of a calm sea; rumors of things that cause many of the wiser and elder of the world to pause and think about the future.Whispers spread that Sauron is said to have returned to Mordor and is reestablshing himself in his strongholds there. Revealed by the Wise to have been shrouding himself in Mirkwood under the guise of the Necromancer, his name is an unsettling reminder of the past. Observant folk also hear rumors that the Wise of the land(a so-called White Council) have met to discuss the return of Sauron. In Erebor, Durin's Folk continue to rebuild their home under the Lonely Mountain. The dwarves there reach out to neighbors, renewing old contacts of trade and communication with the men of Dale, with Mirkwood, and even with the House of Elrond, without whose help Thorin and Company would never have accomplished their reconquest of their old kingdom.And in Imladris, several visitors arrive in the Last Homely House; the hospitality of Rivendell's master a brief respite from the darkening world....-------I would like to have this game begin in Rivendell, so please keep this in mind for your PC (why hes there, etc..) Some of you, if you wish, can already know each other-especially among the elves and/or Aragorn and the Rangers of the North; or vice versa. Your status as a "company" can already be established or just starting out. Even now at age 21, Aragorn has been away from Rivendell beginning his adventuring.</blockquote>
