@Lady of Shadow You told me to poke you here. Honestly not sure how much I'd be able to play in the Army thread in here, simply because I am not actively a part of it, so perhaps Free RP might be best in terms of accessibility, though in Mordor I am not sure where any of my characters in particular would come in in regards to what you've suggested as a story line so far... Do you have a specific plan for her escape that I could work around or is she helped to escape?
@Fuin Elda @Lady of Shadow if your story has anything at all to do with the army, feel free to use the army thread for it. You dont have to be IN it to use it :) Thought I would let you know, sorry for butting in!
To my esteemed minions A question: If Mordor had a Black Library where a certain Evil Librarian™ worked where would that library most likely be located? Barad-dûr, Umbar, Minas Morgul? Or all 3 cause why not have branches in all 3 cities

I would think where Sauron was, imo.
Oh! I get to put on my "I'm going to be going back to school soon to study library science" shirt again!
Barad-dûr - I would assume they have something more akin to an archive, just records of accounting, law briefs, etc that aren't open to the "general public"
Umbar - Umbar would absolutely have a public library in my opinion, perhaps even two given the population size as a human capital and trading center
Minas Morgul - as a former sister city of Minas Tirith, I think they would have had one at one point but it might have been converted into a much more private, exclusive specialty library for the higher ups like the Nazgûl to study occult stuff
and because now that I'm on a roll, I might as well continue with my completely biased and, probably, uninformed opinion
Angmar - same as Minas Morgul I think, exclusive, private, and very specialized that might also double as an archive for record keeping
Dol Guldur - honestly this one I'm not sure of, they might have had something Khamûl and Sauron before had for personal use but nothing public
This is of course, my own headcanon and can easily be proven to be biased and inaccurate by someone with more lore knowledge than myself

Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
Awesome headcanons there Frost! I was aiming for a more specialised library/archive with restricted access that contained rare manuscripts and incunabula. The ones if you are allowed to enter you need to sign forms with your blood in triplicate and if you look at a manuscript wrongly or even breathe inappropriately near one you will be gutted and your entrails will be used for auguring

Dear reader,
It did not found her well Sorry, sorry, this just reminded me of all those I hope this e-mail finds you well and I'm out here tempted to respond with: The e-mail finds me sitting on the couch stress eating crisps, but thank you? I shall see myself out, no need to push me into Mount Doom

Well I already have my two character, Mauren and Uthurg stuck at Minas Morgul twiddling their thumbs, not knowing what to do. My last post their was literally padding :/
Are you waiting on someone specific? If not, people might not know you want they to interact with you :) Try getting some interest here: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=196 Let us know what you are trying to rp and I am sure people will join in :)
thanks
Echoing Windy, was there something you wanted to do with your characters? I'd be willing to help out in terms of creating a story or helping you advance an arc you already had in mind.

@The King in Yellow Actually I was thinking maybe Mauren and Uthurg could go out spying somewhere, and maybe even interact with someone's character(s)
I can help train charecters in the Army thread. We can go on missions and stuff and gain rank :)
Sounds great @Draugän Nuruhuinë
@Troygan join in! :)
OOC @The King in Yellow @Winddancer : guys ur Rp is amazing. Love it!
@Draugän Nuruhuinë Thank you! <3
@Draugän Nuruhuinë many thanks, I am glad we can keep you entertained

@Winddancer You've got my discord so that will work for missives.
I read this thread first and having just woken I was like whaaaat? What missive?? :P Duh :P
You're special this is why we love you Windy. LOL
You better love her; otherwise you'd be in a spot of trouble, deep in minion territory as you are. We are very protective of our Lady of Torture around here.

I am a fearless creature if you haven't recognized that yet I am nearer to minion than elf most days Aig would tell you lol.
That or I'm trying to give Feanor a run for his money in terms of Batshire Crazy

Hello everyone! I was (quite) active at the old Plaza for a while. First in Gondor, then in Mordor mostly. Haven't seen myself in any of the surviving archive threads unfortunately, but I recognized a lot of the names and topics like Lava Snake Racing, which I think I ran for a while actually... Anyway, I'm still evil at heart, hopefully all of you wretched souls are as well.
Welcome back @Vinyatur! I swear that name sounds familar. We're glad to have you be to torture have fun with
Feel free to kick back in the Spa, schedule a fight in the Necromancer's Guild, train some Warg, or terrorize the locals!

Welcome back! :D
Am I supposed to write Mauren being shot in the Black Host rp?
@Draugän Nuruhuinë now that nuPlaza 2.0 is up and running I hope we can see your brilliant Harad thread come back!
Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
Allow me to formally second that.
Harad is back on guys! :)
You are the man @Draugän Nuruhuinë!

@Dimcairien Luiniel, this family trip is taking longer than I expected, any chance the deadline can be extended a day?
Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
@Marshall Lee No problem! Hence the “roughly 72 hours”. Hope it’s a good trip!
@Marshall Lee duuude! your Rhun thread is awesome!
@Draugän Nuruhuinë glad you like it man! Hope you have some good stories to fill it with!

That was one hell of a post @Romeran! Loved it and hope to see you more around Mordor!
Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
Ditto on that!! Welcome to the darkside! :D The only cookies are Hoppit cookies though.. so be careful what you eat here..
Thanks @The Jaberwock after reading through all the posts I couldn't help but join in! Looking forward to participating
Not much of an announcement, but I've updated the Haradwaith thread with all city descriptions :) Still a WIP, but I'm about to create a story about the life of Suladan.
Looking forward to reading that @Ancalagon the Black! :D
I'm really loving all the dedication and all the details you're putting into Harad @Ancalagon the Black! Harad is really coming to life with all your descriptions and information. You also remind me I need to get back there and do some more writing
Strange Fruit got holes in the flesh but it ain't gonn' spoil cause it never was fresh
Thanks @Winddancer and @Sorceress! :D I've always loved the Harad martial culture so always wanted to have make something about that. Southern lands/cultures are hardly mentioned in the books.
Well with hardly mentioned that gives us waaay more leeway to make up what we like! :D Gotta love that ;)
