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.
How many are left in Beleriand who would not lunge at the chance to revenge themselves upon those who have brought their homes to ruin? This desperation fuels the charge of the green elf warbands as they fall upon their chosen prey. Unlike the Sindar, the Laiquendi of old did not regard the stone-bladed axe as a weapon so much as a tool essential to life. Yet full-quick did they find that orc throats sever far more easily than the trunks of trees. Shields are nearly as useful, for they keep an elf from dying as he wrenches his axe back out.
