LoTR in the 4th Age

The chronicle begins in winter of the 63rd year of the Fourth Age; the War of the Ring is a fading memory to most. Many of Middle Earth’s free lands stand on the verge of a new union under the banner of King Elessar (Aragorn) in Gondor. Most of the enemies of the Free Peoples are either allied with the West, have been conquered, or forgotten.

A9S1a-Following Belemir

[We skipped section 8 due to the fellowship’s actions. Such actions that changed the campaign trail.] Aug 2 nd Alatopel : Their uneventful return to Alatopel atop the great eagles was bolstered by sunshine and a mild breeze. Even the woods seem brighter, drier and friendly all the way back to Alatopel where the villagers erupted with shouts of joy at the sight of the eagles. As the fellowship passed through the gates, Deoch and others of the court gathered with the common folk to welcome them back. With saddened hearts, they soon learned Lord Arnulf passed away during the siege and that his eldest son Malbeth now ruled. Thus, after formal greetings and blessings upon the new lord, Khalin laid claim to the tower of Amon Galenloth “ In the name of those dwarves forced to labor its construction ! We will be your allies to the north .” With Lord Malbeth’s blessings, Khalin sent forth a thrush (bird) messenger to the Lonely Mountains to recruit dwarves. Alatopel’s dwarven blacksmith Bo...

A1.1 At Your Service

A1.1 At Your Service Theobard ( Theo ), 27yo Beorning Wanderer [Aaron]: Theo was a long way from home; sent by his Chieftain Grimbeorn to learn about threats south of their Carrock homeland. Treated as insignificant, the Beornings had to pry any news from civilized humans who expected others to tell all. At least the Beornings shared common threats with the neighboring elves in the Mirkwood forest, such as the recent sighting of orc activity to the north. Not that elves were all that talkative and sharers of information. Similar to the standoffish dwarfs who preferred to drink rather than talk. Thranduil ( Thran ), 250yo Elf Scholar [Joey]: Thran spent most of his years in the underground library of the Halls of Thranduil . A bookworm you might say, with little actual worldly experience. Maybe that’s why his queen tasked him with a quest to replenish herbs needed for special elvish medicine. “There is more to knowledge than that which i...

A9S2-Bree Reunion

Aug 15 th in Bree : After hearing Margo's departing words, they sought out Weldon who lamented the story of the dragon attack. " As you know, I gifted my tapestry to the great hall of Hobbiton. I happened to be in town delivering goods when a dark shadow flew over the sky. A dragon landed in the middle of the town square. I rushed to see what was going on and spied a woman sitting on a chair, directing a squad of hobbits to steal my tapestry! Other villagers stood as if paralyzed. Apparently, she didn't find what she was looking for, because she had her dragon torch my tapestry before she climbed atop the dragon who flew off carrying her chair. That's when everyone regained their senses and fired arrows at her departing dragon ." The fellowship looked at Loegir and remembered his vision before they departed Rivendell . As they sat at the inn, feasting on ale and food, Kyan pulled out his map to retrace their route and to consider Belemir’s and the Dark Queen’s in...
