The Ered Luin War - A war that is taking place in Ered Luin, obviously! This is between <Dourhand Khazad> And <Khuzd Belkur> BUT, all are welcomed to join. The sides are obvious, but Ill explain everything below. The planned upcoming event, is to battle at Gondamon. Any level, any class, any race (Just no Evil Hobbits/Elves)



[The Dourhand Forces] - <Dourhand Khazad> and any Evil men, Pro-Dourhand Dwarves, and Mercenaries who wish to earn their wages in battle.

*Dourhand Khazad is led by Haddod, and Dwargrimgar. To join the Kin on a Dwarf that /IS/ Dourhand or /PRO-DOURHAND/, send a tell to either, and/or Mail them (Mail is so we can get you when your online! [Add to friends list]).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[The Allied Forces] - <Khuzd Belkur> and any that wish to aid them, meaning, Elves, Longbeards, Pro-Longbeards, Concerned Hobbits (We are warring on your borders, you midgets! ;P) or the Men of the Third age. We all know you Humans love making a name for yourself, seeking glory and riches! (Mercenaries can be on this side too!)

They are also a Dwarf-Only Kin, but for all dwarves (Except Dourhands). They are very active, friendly, immersive, and do plenty of things, from Pubbing, to Music, to fighting 'The Dourhand Menice!'. This is the kin for you if you're a Dwarf and not Pro-Dourhand.

The Battle for Gondamon will be a Battle between Dourhand Forces, and The Allied Forces, there will be Immersive Roleplay, both fighting, dialog, and each person will have a responsability, no matter how great or small. There will be tactics, strategy and plenty of fun for all. Details on how things are below.

[Tactics/Strategy] Well, siege, and defense. There will be a description in [Raid] of what the battle looks like, from armies, to defenses, to siege weaponary and where. This is a big project; To have large-scale roleplay skirmishes/battles/ext. From Ambushes, to Barricades, to Reinforcements, to setting off a secret trap. (Example: You hint theres crates and barrels, whats in it? Thats revealed at the right time! Goblin Black Powder! BOOM!) This type of stuff will make you think, and get those Roleplaying immersive gears a' grinding!

[Responsabilities] Everyone likes to have a role, and everyone likes to feel important (Don't deny it, you know you like it! ). So, everyone is given some form of task, singular, or grouped with others. Maybe your in charge of a trap/ambush, to do it when ordered, or when your schedualed, maybe you're to be reinforcements, or even to protect something! A good example is where I had three players, given NPC's, and tasked them. One had archers, and hid on a tree'd hill, then ambushed the enemy when they past, having their backs to them, its Pincushion time! The other two? Control was given to them, fifty soldiers to make a shield wall in a narrow pass- 300 Reference anyone? - This, is strategy, and fun at that! Not only did three players have a hell'of'a'time! They felt important.

[Responsabilities(NPC Control) Players with a task, who have NPC's. Its nice to think you're leading soldiers, aint it? Well, in [Raid], you say what your NPC's will be doing (Vauge, or detailed, just not a story please!), and the person who controls theirs, Or the whole army, will react. Cause and effect, on a large RP size!

[Armies of NPCs] Well, whats a battle without the little guys? (A duel, thats what!) - A person from each side (The strategist/Commander) will control not only their own actions, but the actions of their NPC armies, (Same as to players with small groups of NPCs) and control the flow of battle, from Siege, to the tactics they've planned, to putting that ladder up the wall and firing that rock at Dwarfy No-Beard.

[Organization] This, is, a large event, as such, Organization is Key. You must be abled to listen, if you wish to join.

[Time] Saturday, March 17th at 7:00 PM Eastern time.

[Interested] I hope so! Sign up, Post a comment here, and contact your side! Tell your friends, Arion and The Watch have their fun in Bree (More like Work!), So lets get as many people into this, and have our own fun! (And give them a day off!)

-Written by Dwargrimgar, Officer/Successor to <Dourhand Khazad>

Any level characters? Or do you have a preference for levels? You have a big task to do for this event.

If I am in the area of Gondamon I will knock the helm from that proud and smirking Dourhand's head, yes YOU Dwargrimgar! (( ))

I wish you guys the best of luck!

Any levels, any classes, any race.

My Elf Warden, Cugol, wishes to help destroy the Dourhands

I will add you to the list; Please contact Weldulf. Tell him that you are interested in the War. There is need of organization, so, keep in mind that you will most likely be required to listen to orders and follow directions.

BTW it's Khuzd Belkur NOT Khazad Belkur

It has been fixed, thank you.

The Event shall be on... Saturday, March 10th at 7:00 PM Eastern time.

Any updates, if there will be any, or any modifications of the time, shall be posted, and the time updated. Chances, however, are low, so look forward to this!

Ohhh, fiddlesticks. The one night I can't make it. -sigh-

You can always involve yourself Prior to the event, and afterwards. There will be other battles in the future, hopefully you'll be abled to involve yourself personally in those, if you're not abled to make this one.

The event has been changed from Saturday, March 10th, to Saturday, March 17th. The time is still 7:00 PM Eastern time.

Bah ha ha, much maniacal laughter ensues.

Switched to St Patricks Day? This could be problematic...

I know, right? Players may end up not attending due to the good ol' jolly pint or 3. Or coming to the event IC'ly drunk. 'Oiy.. Laddie.. I Shay'd.. SHTOP! Not go.. SHTOP!' -Falls over-

I would like to be a nurse.

If your wanting to be a medic for The Longbeards, speak with Weldulf. - Before you do, have a VERY specific reason why a hobbit, female at that, would be involving herself in a Warzone that doesn't concern her people or lands.

Good luck with the event!

Alright dwarg its me Gimdon, me and Ganborn and or Gaagii will meet us in the battle may they do us well in battle
