The First Age of the Sun and Moon is perhaps the most eventful timeline within the works of JRR Tolkien. It is steeped in theological and philosophical themes, while retaining the epic scale that most are accustomed to when they think of Tolkien. Our hope is to recreate, as accurately as possible, the words and ideas of the author into the Total War universe. As there is yet to be any concrete display of what we believe to be the greatest and most thought-provoking age within the world of Arda, here is to you Silmarillion: Total War.

Description

'The House of the Tree was one of the Houses of the Elves of Gondolin, under the leadership of Galdor.

They were distinguished by a green livery, and bore clubs and slings.

In the Fall of Gondolin in FA 510, they were one of the two main kindreds that first hurled themselves upon the Balrogs and Orcs upon the destruction of the Gate of Gondolin. They guarded the western entrance to the Arch of Inwë. Many escaped the slaughter with Tuor, and were scouts ahead of the women and children, for they had "eyes like cats in the dark", later dwelling at the Mouths of Sirion. They were often referred to as the People or Folk of Galdor."

In Silmarillion: Total War, the House of the Tree are light skirmishers and infantrymen. They will eventually use a shillelagh (mace is currently a placeholder) as well as custom slinger animations ported from Europa Barbarorum II.
