”We are the right arm of justice, Defendors of Gondor, Slayers of the Haradrim, and Veterans of Umbar. When the Great Sea stirs and darkness falls over Gondor, we shall answer with blood, sweat, and steel. “

About Tarciryan, Son of Siriondil

Lord Tarciryan was a brother to the illustrious King Tarannon Falastur, the first of the line of four Ship-Kings. He was also the son of the 11th King of Gondor, Siriondil who succeeded his father King Atanatar I, during the waning years of the Third Age’s first millenium. His reign was quiet, and peaceful for eighty-two years. Famed for his Naval Exploits, Tarciryans Brother, King Tarannon founded the line of naval Ship-Kings until the time of Hyarmendacil I. His Queen was the notorious Beruthiel, who he forced to send into exile. Tarannon died without an heir to the throne. He was succeeded instead by his nephew, the son of Lord Tarciryan, and the second Ship King of Gondor, Earnil I.


About the Tarciryan Knights

The Tarciryan Knights were the Marine forces of the great Naval Power of Gondor. They excelled in sea to land combat and were the strength of armies of the Ship Kings of Gondor. The Legends of the Knights were born out of the blood spilled during the Siege of Umbar.

Umbar was an important harbour fortress on the coast of the Great Sea, far south of Gondor and had been long held by the enemies of the land. In the year 933 of the Third Age, King Earnil son of Tarciryan, succeeded in capturing Umbar. Over the following years, the men who had held Umbar before the Gondorian invasion had rallied the Haradrim, dark men of the Harad. In 1015 a huge combined force of Haradrim had attempted to retake Umbar from Gondor. The King at that time, Ciryandil was slain battle, but the fortress withstood the assault and so began the long Siege of Umbar.

For many years, a stalemate existed, Gondor was able keep Umbar supplied by sea, but could not defeat the besieging forces of the Haradrim. The new King, Ciryaher spent these years building up his forces and at last in 1050 and thirty-five years into the siege, a massive army and detachment of the historic lineage of Tarciryan Knights crossed into Harad from the North. Combined with the power of the Navy, and the Army they utterly defeated the Haradrim. After the overwhelming defeat of the Lands of Harad, they acknowledged the power of Gondor. It was at this time, King Ciryaher, the last of the Ship Kings, took the name Hyarmendacil “South-Victory”. It was up until this time after the siege that the Tarciryan Knights had retired to live a life of peace. Though not lasting, the strength of the Tarciryan Knights would be once called again with the ever growing threat of the evil of Mirkwood.

Our Mission Statement

We are a mature kinship that seeks to strengthen the community of Lord of the Rings Online, as well as the fans to Tolkeins works by providing a great medium for expression, lore, and gaming environment. The history of Middle-Earth is lush and filled with adventure and the Tarciryan Knights seek to share experiences with like minded individuals. The success of the Kinship is bolstered by it’s Creed. Honor, Loyalty, Faith. Honoring our members and families by giving them the respect, patience and honesty that they deserve. Loyalty in members by remaining 100% committed to the well being of the kinship and it’s family. Faith in seeking patience and positivity in one another. This means lending a hand to our members, and offering support when needed. With our creed we hope to host a highly evolved, committed and stable community for folks around the world to share an amazing experience in Middle Earth together.

Casual to Semi-Hardcore

While we understand the enthusiasm many share by the PVE and PVMP Challenges in Lord of the Rings Online, we also understand that many of its members are committed to families and careers. These very real things always come first before any hobby, and we aim to tailor our processes around that. Thus we are casual to semi-hardcore to cater to those with limited time as well as active players. To prevent the growth of “cliques” we encourage the recruitment of players who considers the community before themselves. This includes dedication to the community, and active participation within the community website and in game support.

Light – RP

We are a casual group of roleplayers. Many of us are not veterans to the idea of roleplaying. We attract players that are both interested in roleplaying and players that are very familiar with it from classic RP communities. Thus we encourage players to give it a try, as it adds to the immersion of a game as well as character investment. At the same time we encourage our roleplaying veterans to practice patience, and assist our interested roleplayers in developing their lore. Roleplaying Elitism does exist and we discourage any likes of it in interest to keeping our community a comfortable environment for all.

Raiding

One of our many interests is raiding, and we do take part in all the raids that are currently available, though like all events, attendance is never required. It should however be made very clear, our style and view on raiding is very lighthearted and laid-back. While “beating” a raid is certainly fun and rewarding, it is by no measure our primary goal. We go on raids to have fun, to enjoy each others company, and most of all for the experience. The only thing we take serious about raiding is our excellent ability to work as a team and to listen to each other. If you are looking for a kinship that just likes to have a lot of fun while on a raid, please do consider applying for membership, but if raiding is your only interest or if you are someone who is all business while raiding, you may want to seek a more raid focused kinship.

Crafting

Crafting is a large part of our experiences in Middle-Earth. We encourage members to support eachother and provide eachother with the materials necessary to achieve results before sending them off to the Auction House. Likewise we frown upon anyone who likes to “receive and never giving back”. It is the mentality of supporting one another, that will make crafting a unique and successful experience for everybody.

Hello everyone,

I just started a new Kinship here on Imladris. This is a brand new kinship and I am seeking members who are interested in joining this exclusive kinship. I know a lot of veterans are moving here from Landroval, I would like to note that MAIN capped players need not apply. I am looking for new players (and veterans with new characters) to join exclusively to help this community grow. Once the kinship has matured a bit, I will consider folks higher level characters if any.

Please Do Not Apply if:

1) This server is your second home and just need a temp Kinship
2) If you plan on applying with your main character of capped level to give away freebies.

Please Apply if:

1) You are a new or returning player or veteran, or a reroll
2) If you you would like to participate in this Kinship, Exclusively
3) If you would like to Roleplay or guide others in roleplay.
4) If you're lonely like me!

Thanks guys,
I just wanted to point some of those things out. I am looking for potential leadership so if you're interested don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks again Imladras. I look forward to our future together.

Also just to be clear, you do NOT have to RP to be in Tarciryan Knights. This is just an option for those interested. Kinship chat and forums would not be affected by any RP and would remain strictly OOC. Thanks!

We have grown to 40 members including alts, about 30 physical players. The quality of our members have been astounding. So if you're looking for that special Kinship with Adult members that know how to have fun while keeping a friendly, and clean community environment, nows the time before we close doors. We are closing public recruitment at 50, and there after we are only considering applications on our website.

Please note that Hunters and Champions are now closed as well.

I've got you added, haven't seen you online yet. You need to add me too so you can send me a message as well.

Hmm.. I think its because of the time zone. I'm in South East Asia so I guess when I log in, you log out

that would be a problem Most of our members are North American. Good luck!

Friendly bump, we've had a lot of interest and have been bringing together some very quality folks. I encourage you to come check us out. Add me in game if you would like to speak to me.

To celebrate the Harvestmath, the Knights be hosting a Fall Festival this Saturday, October 23 at 8pm CST (6pm pst. 9pm est) at the Party Tree, Festival Grounds in the Shire. This is a Light RP (Anyone is welcome and things will be kept casual) event, so bring some goodies and get ready to participate in horse races, pie eating contests, music bands, and pub runs to get some new titles, toys, and much more!

Our new website is up, please check us out!

We have recently reached 100 quality members, and not from public invites. This is all the result of hard work and personally interviewing and speaking with each individual member, to ensure compatibility among our Knights.

Thanks for checking us out!

A friendly bump for the Knights! Come check us out, we are seeking fine adventurers!

Any chance of arranging some RP with our kin? We are pure RP kin with lesser ammount of players and rank 8 almost. Most are lower lvels (only 3x 60+) but with huge knowlegde of Tolkiens world.

Hey Elkarian,
We have RP'd with you folks before, a long while ago before you guys disappeared. At least when we've seen Clarissa around. Were more than happy to have some events with you folks.

Feel free to register on our site and post up (or reply here), i'm sure we can schedule some dates for some events, perhaps some kind of storytelling or gathering in the shire or what not.

This would be a good opportunity to arrange events with our more deeper roleplayers, just note that MOST of the Knights are very new to roleplay so if you folks approach some of the Knights for impromptu, they may react ooc or meta.

Still, i'm sure it will be a great opportunity for those interested in it to learn.

Looking for friendly people to join our growing community! We welcome new players as well as vets!

check us out at www.tarciryanknights.com

Our doors are still open, feel free to give us a holler and check out our website!

Bump. The Knights are still recruiting, still doing light RP and Isengard and earlier group content as well as questing together. It is a fantastic social community where we respect one another and welcome many different styles of play. We will consider characters of any level, new players and veterans, free and VIP.

The best thing about the Knights is the community spirit. If you're interested, apply on our forums at http://tarciryanknights.com/forums.

Having been a member of Tarciryan Knights for a little over a month, I must say that I have found my home on Imladris. This kinship has a nice blend of light roleplaying and friendly, active members. We have players at every level with a variety of interests including crafting, questing, and raiding. If you're looking for an active and social kinship on Imladris, I strongly encourage you to consider Tarciryan Knights.

Greetings Imladris, we are recruiting so feel free to come check us out! Happy March!

We have a new home!
