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 predecessors to those we call Laiquendi once lived far past the Ered Luin, but they were driven by orcs and things fouler still to cross the mountains alongside their leader, Denethor. He, as the first and last of their kings, was lost to a merciless battle due in part to the ill-readiness of his people for it. The green elves held no ease in their hearts thereafter, and have taken to recent conflicts with a zeal few would have ever expected. These Laegrim now assume guard over the forest eaves, stone-glass blades felling evil wheresoever it can be found.
Many miles have the infantry walked, as their long, weathered coats attest. It remains their prerogative to kill from hiding– they have even chosen to face their shields with moss rather than present flagrant arms to the enemy. Nevertheless, over the course of so many battles, the green elf spearmen have realized that not all charges can be deftly avoided; sometimes the open ground must be held in resolve. Though it shall not soon be forming great pike walls in the style of the cave-dwellers, the Laiquendi army may now stand confidently before any who would oppose it.
