Hadorian Guard of Barad Eithel image - War of the Silmarils mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms
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!

the edain! beautiful! so much hype
Now the people of Hador Lórindol were the most staunch and warlike of the Edain, and the High King of the Noldor had great affection for that folk. Girt in ringed mail and gripping well-crafted swords, these warriors of Dor-lómin defend the stronghold of King Fingon, Barad Eithel-- And they do so with great stoutness of heart, meeting the foul creatures of the Enemy face to face and blade to blade. Fair-haired and grim in visage, the Hadorian Guard are easily kindled to wrath, but also to laughter, as are all the Edain who followed Marach over the mountains into Beleriand. A shadow lay over their past, and they do not forget it, but are stronger because of it, having become more fierce and fell in vengeance against the Master of Lies. Just as they march under the banners of the House of Fingolfin and the House of Hador, so do they fight for both the Eldar and the Edain, freely giving their short lives, though uncertain of their fate after their bodies are slain; a sacrifice which even the greatest of the Eldar cannot make.
Great work my friend! You're very good at writing in Tolkien style, and I like how you incorporate lore in your descriptions.
I've read the Silmarillion so many times that frankly it'd be criminal if I wasn't able to rip off the style just a little bit!
That is what I fear when I write my descriptions (that they are viewed as Tolkien's work, not mine). Regardless, most of it is certainly your aptitude in this art
