I don't know what the reasoning behind posting in the IC without first being accepted was, I'll assume you forgot. However, your posts both ICly and OOCly haven't up to the quality I had envisioned for the RP. I would appreciate it if you would remove your post from the IC, and cease posing in the OOC.

Oh, i thought you accepted me and ignored me, but ok, ill be gone and delete all my posts.

Can I just ask - the men of Gondor who didn't escape with Faramir, they would be enslaved to the former forces of Sauron, correct?

Yes, that would be the case indeed.

Excellent, that works perfectly with my ideas!

I saw. A bold, unexpected move.

Ouch. Aragorn could use that sarcasm as a sword.

Not sarcastic. I really didn't expect it and I really think it is quite bold.

Ah, fair enough. I just hope it doesn't detract from the bolder, less expected moves I have planned for the future!

Oh Jesus, now you have me curious as to what Faramir will still be up to.

A LoTR RP set after Sauron wins? Interesting and I'm very intrigued. Before i do anything related to an app, are there any other major characters that would need filling? Perhaps another Nazgûl?

You can fill more Nazgul. Of the named ones, Khamul hasn't been apped for so you could take him. Otherwise can make your own Nazgul.

Apart from that, we could use a Durin's Bane.

Reminds me, someone did an app for the aforementioned Balrog but vanished shortly after. I have been sort been on-and-off the fence regarding a potential app as Durin's Bane, though I'm not sure what RPing a Balrog would be like, how their mind would work, etc, since the lore as far as I can recall is a bit vague with stuff like that. Also been ages since I've even vaguely touched the LOTR books, though I have them gathering dust somewhere. I'm more familiar with the films and Shadow of Mordor.

Aye, i do think I'd struggle with RPing a Balrog and i'm all fine if you want to RP it. I've recently re-watched the extended editions of the movies and I'm feeling in a more Nazgûl-y mood anyways.

I'll have to think about going for Khamûl or an OC, very interesting choices with backstory and gains after Sauron's victory nonetheless.

Yes, hence why they were taken off the reservation roster. And yeah, Balrog lore is vague af, as is a lot of lore that isn't about Elves or Numenoreans really.

I mean, you are also absolutely free to do OCs. The ex-direct control area of Sauron could use some more people afterall. Otherwise you can also do like OC sublords under the command of other Overlords, scheming to turn things to their advantage.

Well then, looking forward to what you are going to do.

[Elerian]

Sorry for the slow progress everyone, I am making gains on a post that will hopefully start moving things forward.

Can I still join?

Decided I'd like to try my hands on Khamûl and beat out an app, but I'm a bit stumped regarding territory and troops, along with trying to figure out history after Sauron's victory and other notable artifacts. I'd think that I'd obviouly need Dol Guldur, but other than that I'm kinda stuck. Take a gander, if ye like.


Name: Khamûl, Shadow of the East, The Black Easterling
Race: Originally an Easterling man. Currently a Ringwraith
Appearance:

Armored Khamûl

Unarmored Khamûl

Wraith Khamûl

Role: Second to the Witch-King, Lord of Dol Guldur, Lieutenant of Sauron
Motivations: Ever since receiving his Ring of Power and becoming a Ringwraith, Khamûl has only lived to serve Sauron, but now that the Great Eye no longer watches and as his free will has somewhat returned, the true intensions of the Shadow of the East remain unknown to all but himself. For now, his sight is set upon crushing the light of Lothlorien once and for all, either in the name of Sauron, or his own.

History: After aiding in the fall of both Rohan and Gondor, Khamûl was put in charge of ruling over the Sauronite-occupied Rhovanian as a reward for his loyalty. Khamûl ruled with an iron fist, calling forth foul orcs and beings of the darkness to the fortress of Dol Guldur. After multiple failed assaults against Lothlorien due to Galadriel and her Ring, Khamûl had been ordered to muster a mighty army to break the Elven stronghold once and for all, while at the same time do the bidding of the With-King and the Dark Lord. After regaining some relative free will due to the clouding of the Great Eye, Khamûl finally has some semblance of control over his fate once more.

Territory: Khamûl’s dominion stretches from the stronghold of Dol Guldur serving as the center of control and into the areas of Rhovanian controlled by Sauronite forces.
Strength:

20,000 Orcs
6500 Easterling Warriors serving as a fanatic volunteer force for their fallen king.
70 Castellans of Dol Guldur
30 Olog-Hai
2500 Black Uruks
600 Warg Raiders
1 Fell Beast

Notable Artifacts:
A Morgul Blade
A curved Easterling Sword that Khamûl wielded in life.
A Ring of Power

I made an attempt at mapping out the division of Middle Earth as far as its confirmed or intended.
I mean, you don't obviously need Dol Guldur but it'd certainly make for a nice base of operations. I can imagine the resurgent spider threat is likely also quite to your...dissatisfaction.

Aside from that...I'm not sure, all of Sauronite Rhovanion perhaps? In terms of troops, you can probably orient yourself by others' apps. Given a possible position in Rhovanion and Mirkwood, you can probably play around a lot with Easterlings, Orcs, Castellans of Dol Guldur, Olog-hai, Black Uruks, etc.

Added a history section along with some experimental army numbers, territory and some notable artifacts. Thoughts?

Artifacts sound good though I would maybe go into some detail concerning the Easterling sword since, well, there's nothing special we know of to Easterling swords.

History is a bit eh since Rhovanion was technically already occupied. Those Easterlings gotta go west through somewhere afterall, right?

Troop strength is way, way, way overblown. 5.000 Olog-hai? So 5.000 of Sauron's supertrolls? Yeah...maybe no? 673 Castellans (which are minor wraiths from what I know) also seems like an extremely high number. Other numbers are...eh, I recommend somewhat lower since you were the Witch King's right hand man so it'd make sense to have a somewhat weaker force than him.

Noted and reduced numbers and edited history, e.t.c.

Alright. So Khamul didn't invade Lorien during the War of the Ring?

xD, you didn't have to slash it that hard really. I just recommend looking at, say he Morgul Host of Thrac's Witch King app for example. Something along the lines of that would surely be reasonable, give you a solid number of forces to act with.

I knew i forgot something, but 'tis now added and balanced army numbers!

xD, Black Numenoreans and Easterlings don't trade at equal rates. You can easily grab thousands of Easterlings.

Aside from that, well, it'll be up to Elerian to accept you.
