BACK-HISTORY
Born along the riverbanks of the great Anduin River just South of the delta and named after the great pillars of the kings the Argonath,, Argothir was raised alone by his father Derufin. He never had the opportunity to get to know his mother as she passed away during giving birth to him. Derufin however was a strong parent for any young boy to have and he handled the role of mother and father with ease. Derufin himself was a bit of a recluse, preferring to stay seperated from the greater kingdom of Gondor, so it was to no surprise that his son would carry some of his traits as he grew into the man that he has now become. The two however did travel into mainland quite often to sell goods to the people of Osgiliath. His father even taught him the trade of working with fine metals so that the life long family tradtion could continue after his passing.

Edhewenar Kellon

Race:
Elf/Woman

Homeland:
Lórien

Date of Birth:
2649 TA

Class:
Lore - master. Primary role is crowd control, but can fill in secondary healer or DPS ( when proper traits are equipped ).

Personality / Views:
Edhewenar is calm, rational and good-hearted, but on the other hand she is very agressive when provoked or in stressed situations, what's very unusual for an elf. Sometimes arrogant and thinking too much about herself. Scornful of elves, that are sailing away from Middle-Earth. She is always prepared to defend lands polluted by Angmar and willing to risk greatly while determination is always driving Edhewenar towards one of her greatest ambitions - to restore harmony in the lands using any means necessary. Her previous affilation with unofficial military organization as a Lance corporal, commanding a small unit, had taught her discipline, command and tactics to overcome difficulties.

Back-History:
Edhewenar was born in Lothlórien in year 2649 TA to Sariniel Kellon The Wild-Prophet and Laniewenar of Lórien. Her father, well-recognized Lore-Master in Lothlórien, have taught her a lot about nature and complex relations between living and non-living things amazed her, thus she decided to go in father's steps. Some days, she just sat in her room, reading books wrote by her father and other Lore-Keepers from all-around the Middle-Earth, learning about forces of nature. Or just walking through deep forests around Lórien, observing or examining all kinds of plants, inspecting animal behaviour, maybe helping his father on routine jobs. As Edhewenar got older and her insight into nature matters have grown, she became aware of dark forces spreading, corrupting and destroying life forms slowly. She just turned 298, her final trial to become accepted lore-master apprentice had to take place soon. She passed both theoretical and pratical parts of the test and her own father congratulated her along with 7 other Lothlóriens lore-masters. After this, Edhewenar felt she can't stay in Lothlórien much longer. He knew Lothlórien is a sacred place, still not suffering from corruption on a great scale, although she felt sooner or later it would inevitably happen. It was rather cold afternoon , when winter was knocking on a door, year 2951, when Edhewenar finally decided to leave Lothlórien to help men and other races of Middle-Earth. This evening she had an argument with her father. Sariniel was angry and discouraged the young elf-maiden to leave Lothlórien, that men or hobbits doesn't care about elfs in Lórien. She got angry at her father for being so short-sighted and blind, seeing only problems of their forest-city, not caring about others. She grabbed some basic equipment, hugging her mother for a good few minutes as she knew, she wouldn't return so soon. Edhewenar had never spoke to her father again. Traveling through Khazad-Dúm where she first saw dwarves, to Rivendell in Trollshaws. She stayed there, exploring nearby lands with group of elves, gaining experience and observing the dark forces that were appearing everywhere, trying to understand them. One of them was a Neránian and she learned about this secretive society. In the year 2989, Edhewenar left Rivendell and set forth to human lands. Upon arriving to Bree, she learned about orc and goblin expansions in nearby places. Determined to help these men, she saw a recruiting offer in year 2992. Organization was called The Free Peoples Milita and was led by the tough,heroic and good man called Bryce Armstrong. She quiclky climbed the ranks, outranking her peers and got title of Lance Corporal, commanding a small striking team, that was created to complete difficult operations deep in enemy lines. Her knowledge of forests helped her to command her subordinates safely, with minimal casualities. In this time she met Balishaf and learned more about Neránians. As time passed they better knew each other and Edhewenar recognized him as a fine and brave man. She continued to serve in milita though. However, some younger militia members were unsatisfied with the way organization worked. They wanted to be paid for jobs they did. So, in the year 2998 a revolt in milita ranks happened. Some members tried to kill Bryce Armstrong and take over the lead, becoming more of a mercenary organization. Luckily, in the time of treacherous attack, Bryce have been discussing some matters with 3 officers and Edhewenar. Traitors caught them by suprise, but they managed to defend themselves. This came at great cost, as 2 officers and 8 young revolting members were killed. After this incident, Bryce, Carolwyn and Edhewenar decided to part their ways and be separate, to prevent something like this would happen again. Edhewenar was disappointed and full of grief. She trusted these younglings and their treachery moved her. As she was sitting in Prancing Pony one day, drinking red wine and smoking Shire-Sweet leaf tobacco, Balishaf entered the tavern and spoke to her. She decided to join The Neránians as a Green Watch member. It was year 3000. Edhewenar had many in common with Balishaf and they got along pretty well. She even knew young, 12 years old Mythgar, Balishaf's son. However, she was staying in wilderness, helping rangers and trying to figure out next moves of an enemy, that she only occasionaly returned to Bree. Contact with Neránians was sustained through Neránian scouts that were riding whole land collecting reports and bringing them to headquarters. When she was investigating Guaradan problem in Forochel, she heard from a scout about Weathertop action. Her will to go was strong, she wanted to help her friends, but the distance she had to travel was great and Edhewenar knew she can't make it in time. As another message came, informing that Balishaf and other Neránians had fallen she became very sad. She swore, that one day she would avenge them and kill everyone responsible. Great anger obsessed her. Edhewenar answered the message from Mythgar, who rallied all surviving Neránians
and rode to Bree-land. She controled her thoughts again and was thinking about a lot of things concerning their future. She arrived at september 26th 3018 with her loyal horse Umali and met with remaining Neránians.

Character Name:
Mythgar Vorshadir the Rohirrim, son of Balishaf, descendant of Arulus.



Race:
Man of Rohan.

Homeland:
Aldburg, Rohan.

Date of Birth:
February 7th, 2991 TA

Class:
Captain: Mythgar, whilst an impressive warrior in his own right, serves best inspiring his friends, fellows and men under his charge. His rousing words of confidence allow others to reach their full potential and stand true against The Shadow.

Personality / Views:
A kind-hearted soul, Mythgar often finds himself weighed down heavily by responsibility, whether it be to The Neránians, the memory of his father or often just his own conscience. Though he shares his father's charisma and ability to sway the hearts and minds of those around him, he is unsure of himself in many ways and secretly wonders if he can be half the man his father was. Despite his inhibitions, he strives to do right in his new-found position and has both the courage and the willpower to help lead the fight against The Shadow.

Back-History:
Born in the city of Alburg to Balishaf and Kehyali Vorshadir in 2991 TA, Mythgar was their first child, followed shortly by his sister Alyhia four years later in 2995. From a very young age he was taught to fight, to hunt and to lead and although he showed promise in all these areas it was his younger sister who showed the most enthusiasm.
His life within the ancient walled city was somewhat sheltered and although he would travel with about much on horseback as was normal for a Rohirric, he did not travel far nor face any life-threatening danger until 3000 TA when, at the age of 9 he joined his father's Éored and helped catch live game.

Mythgar was taught the ways of the ancient and secret group he would one day be a part of, discovering about the alliance with the mysterious Rangers, their lore and history.
Despite both father and son's great love and patriotism for their homeland of Rohan, both knew that they and the children that came after them were charged with the heady responsibility of leading The Neránians.
That fate became a reality late in 3000 TA when Balishaf received word that his father, Dorgarin Vorshadir, had been killed protecting the outlining farmsteads of Combe from Blackwold brigands. Balishaf was immediately elevated to leader of The Neránians, and was required to travel to the township of Bree. As was his right as first-born son, Mythgar chose to travel with his father, and his younger sister Alia remained behind in Alburg with his mother.
The two arrived in Bree and contacted Neránian agents at The Prancing Pony. There, the members of the society who were currently in Bree aided Balishaf by swearing him in as successor and updating him as to the movements of enemies, both foreign and domestic.

It was while here that a very young Mythgar had his first contact with Elf-kind, in the form of the quiet yet approachable Elf-Maiden Edhewenar Kellon. Spending time with the boy whenever she was in the area, the two became fast friends and Mythgar looked on her as a substitute mother figure and later, an older sister (despite the fact Edhewenar seemed not to age a single day).
As he grew in age, strength and wisdom Mythgar took on more responsibilities within The Neránians, and became attached to the urban arm of the society, also known as The Gray Watch.
It was while carrying out a mission for the society in 3009 TA that he was to meet a contact in whom his father always usually dealt with, a Gondorian Man who went by the name of Argothir, on the edge of the Old Forest.
Upon arrival, Argothir was surprised to not see Balishaf, but took the young Mythgar at his word and the two investigated strange disturbances in the forest which turned out to be forest animals going rabid due to poisoning of much of their water supply by an odd purplish-ichor. Although they were unable to find the exact cause, they followed the trail as far as the Barrow Downs before it vanished.
Over the next few years Arogthir and Mythgar became good friends and learned to rely on one-another's instincts not only out in the field but when stationed in the same communities.

When Mythgar was struck down with an ailing disease on September 14th of 3018 TA, he was still to weak to aid his father and fellow kinsmen at The Stand at Weathertop on September 20th, where not only Balishaf but all local Neránians were killed slowing the advance of the Ringwraiths giving the Ranger Strider time to put a plan into action.
When he recovered on September 25th, the grief-stricken Mythgar began the daunting task of rebuilding The Neránians.

Other:
Mythgar is the current leader of The Neránians, and a trained weaponsmtih.

Character Name:
Cubella Cullens of Transience (Preferred nicknames: Cubelle or Q or even, less preferably, Cube)

Race:
Hobbit

Gender:
Female

Homeland:
Unknown, found in Minas Tirith as a baby

Date of Birth:
Unknown, found on September 16, 2999 TA

Class:
Cubella Cullens is a street urchin vagrant who burgles to survive but also keeps her eye out for anything truly malicious plaguing Middle Earth.

Crafts:
Cubella is a yeoman, learning to fend for herself by cooking the meat and ingredients she could scrounge or take from a farm. Also tailoring her own garments when necessary.

Personality / Views:
Cubella Cullens is first and foremost uneducated and naive. She's nice but one shouldn't trust her. If she isn't begging for silver she's likely trying to pilfer gold and, even if she is begging, don't take your eyes off of her. She's illiterate and isn't ashamed of her ignorance. She's afraid of spiders. She doesn't like drinking or smoking, she finds that she can't control herself afterwards and she never relaxes. She's anxious, never confident that her little stature will suffice in heated situations even though she's quite competent with the blades. Cubelle has a hard time trusting elves because of a traumatizing event in her history.

History:
Found outside of an orphanage in Minas Tirith, Cubelle never truly had a place to call home. She moved outside of Minas Tirith to nearby villages often but never too far away. Cubella Collins was raised on the streets, learning to defend herself with knives and rocks and anything she could find. Even as a child she was always looking out for herself and the rest of Middle Earth; she wasn't give much in Arda but she still found life enjoyable because she still got to live it. And because the people of middle earth for the most part make it possible for her to live she gives back to the community by protecting them when she can. She didn't hold her parents' abandonment against them, maybe it was the best way they could help her. In 3016 TA she had a foster father who attempted to sexually abuse her. After she ran away, though, he continued to pursue her throughout Minas Tirith and the nearby villages in which Cubella took refuge. So she decided to travel farther away, to a place she wouldn't stand out, to a place where she could find answers to her past—to the shire.

Bellethriel Silverthorn

Race:

Elven Female

Date of Birth:

How dare you be so rude as to presume I would need to tell you my age! As mere mortals you can never wish to be as old as I am although amongst my people I am concidered a youth! All I will say is, I'm old enough to know better and young enough to not care.

Class:

Huntress. In a fellowship I am the direct DPS/Nuker class though i can do some AOE thats best left to champions like the kind hearted Argothir. I also supply a taxi service at high lvl's due to various ports to most places.

Personality / View:

I'm vain and arrogant and very self assured and don't suffer fools gladly to say the least. However, on the plus side I'm loyal to the core and will happily lay down my life for any member of my kinsmen The Neranians. To my kinsmen I am playfull, kind and helpfull in sharing all knowledge I have obtained in my life thus far. To outsiders I'm cold to the point of frosty and often need another with me to play advocate as I more often than not offend before making aquaintences.

Character Name:
Alyhia Vorshadir (pronounced 'Arr-lee-a'), often called "Arl" by Myth and close friends.



Race:
Race of Men (Rohan)

Homeland:
Aldburg, Rohan

Date of Birth:
June 26th, 2995 TA)

Class:
Warden: Alyhia specializes in focused DPS against single targets.

Personality / Views:
Alyhia comes across as very headstrong, fiery, independent and stubborn but is fiercely loyal to her friends and loved ones. She has quite an excitable personality and prefers to be on the move. In her younger years she strove to get more attention from her father and has grown into something of a tom-boy because of it. However, since coming of age she has learned the usefulness of her 'womanly charms' and will often use her sex to her advantage around members of the opposite sex.
She makes friends easily but see most as mere acquaintances, to be picked up and discarded as needed. There are three people important to her in her life: her mother, her brother Mythgar and Argothir (mostly because she thought she had grown out of any feelings for the man until she met him again recently, but also because she sees him a mentor and protector to her brother).

Back-History:
<In Progress>

Other:
Alyhia is Mythgar's younger sister and also an 'Alt' in-game
