Insane Lord of the Rings fan, mod tester, and writer of fiction (especially RPs at my staff position at RPGFrontier.net). I'm one of those crazy people who has way too many ideas and can't keep his mouth shut. This is how I got the title of "Head Fanatic," and later Adminship, for the Narnia mod. I was formerly WoA's Secretary of Foreign Affairs, but I've resigned that post for ModDB. Recently, I've only been lurking in the corners of moddb, leaving the PR work for Wars of Arda to the more eager Neth, but you'll still see me around from time to time. I marvel, nonetheless, at the amount of respect I get around here... it's weird, but I guess all you need is a level 10 profile and a few friends.

Report RSS The War of Arnor: Part I

Posted by on

The ancient kingdom of Arnor is under heavy duress. The Elves and Dwarves have long ago retreated into their forests and mountains, leaving Arnor as the only force able to combat the forces of darkness. In the desolate realm of Mordor, the Maia Curunir forms a dark army to destroy the Dunedain. Only a few brave soldiers stand in defiance of Curunir's conquest of Middle-earth...

Translation: I got bored and decided to play a RJ-RotWK War of the Ring as my favorite faction, Arnor. Since Mordor is insanely OP in the latest beta (I had trouble fighting a Medium, even though I can easily take out a Hard Isengard), I decided to fight Isengard instead.

Curunir's first target is the southernmost province of Arnor, Cardolan. His general, Grima, leads a massive army of Dunlendings and Uruk-hai to attack the small force of hobbits and humans defending the province. However, the desperate Cardolanis manage to destroy a large portion of his army before succumbing to the tide of evil...

Translation: I took most of the northern portion of the map for myself, but I neglected to defend my flanks properly, and Wormtongue found a nice big hole in my defense: Cardolan. However, with very few soldiers at my disposal, I still managed to destroy most of his cavalry.

With Cardolan in his power, Grima forges deeper into Arnor, attacking Rhudaur. However, Arveleg, the King of Arnor and Lord of Amon Sul, will not give in easily to Grima's assault...

Translation: Wormtongue attacked Rhudaur next. However, the defense force there was stronger, and the battle still rages...
