War of the Silmarils is a sub-mod of Third Age: Total War, the ever popular total conversion for Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms. The goal is to follow the lore as closely as possible and faithfully reproduce the heroic First Age of Tolkien's Middle-earth in the Medieval II: Total War engine. War of the Silmarils features many new unique factions, each complete with a roster of units, a completely new campaign map of Beleriand and the lands to the North, and much more. So if you're one of the many who have been enthralled by Tolkien's mystical world, this is a mod to watch!

Ever the Noldor were fond of their steeds, and they kept great forces of cavalry at many of their fortresses. These Noldor riders are the messengers of the great-lords and their outriders, used to fall upon enemy scouts and scatter disorganized enemy forces before they can form up. As their armour is little, they can ride at great speed for long periods of time, and they have a considerable amount of skill in the art of fighting from horseback.
