I think a mine-centered event Dwarf thread would be great and an army HQ, Oro! Let me know what other ideas you have; also, I imagine Lady Dis would be alive and possibly ruling in Thorin's stead if that helps. If you make a clan system it could be featured an Archives thread ill make this week which show guild-related material. I've got to head to work but I'll check here when I can though I'll be around more I'm the late night.

I think Rivvy said he wants to do the Hobbit parody in Mordor, Luthien. Back in the old Plaza I had my Bree characters speak about plays at the Nightingale Theatre in Bree-towm but I never got to make the thread. There could be dramas and comedies there....

I'm working on Arab Nested and the Elven Union Host next. I think that's all the threads for me before I rest from activity creation (unless no one takes the Nightingale Theatre) so I can begin character bios and RPing.

Ok, Aig. :smiley17:

Though if we get enough interest, maybe we can open an Elven pub in Imladris? Maybe? cutesy puppy eyes intensify

Hey - any of you mind if I restart the old Rivendell bard's guild? For writing, poetry, and art directly related to Imladris with a little bit of RP as well? This was something that existed back when I was most plaza active, 2003-2005 or so, and where I usually hung out in Imladris. Let me know what you all think!

Fir, big fan!! I have a character that was about to start running a new bards' guild when the plaza shut down so he'll definitely show up :smiley8:

Luthien, my dearest daughter, there is Moriel's pub here. There's also feasting / hangout opportunities OF in the Last Homely House, the Prancing Pony, and the Comb & Wattle Inn in the Bree-land Free RP. I could make my NOV Girion's Mithlond Inn be featured in the Lindon Free RP thread. This should all meet our forum pub entertainment <3.

Glad to see the Bard's Guild back, Fir!

Anyone want to be the TR of the Tingdain Forge?

Aig: Should I start a different Character Submissions thread for the Lorien/Mirkwood/Lindon characters? Since it seems like the two eleven regions are chumming it up for awhile, but still trying to distinguish themselves a bit, I have a feeling that's the best way to help figure out who's predominantly in what area.

I barely have any notes on my characters, but I'd love to have place to stick what I have.

Is there anyone there now who's only in Rivendell? If that's the case, yes, you could make one for Lorien/Lindon/Mirkwood. I can change the title of mine to reflect submissions for Rivendell, Bree, and Lone Lands.

I'm at work now, about to clock in from my hour break, but I can check back at 9, my next break in 3 hours, to see if you've put up your submissions thread so I can edit the title of mine :D. Sounds good, Dimcairien?

Oh sweet, between Moriel's pub and the Bard's Guild, in addition to everything else that's been mentioned in the last few comments, there are several ways to make that possible. :smiley8:

Firerose, as I mentioned to Aig, I'd be totally interested. I was not involved on the old Plaza, but I'd love to help bring that back to life! Just tell me what you need, point me at some bad guys, and I'll get schtuff done. :smiley24:

Nice idea for that Character Submissions thread! That reminds me of something.

I wasn't entirely sure where to ask this, but... well, figured I'd ask/see what people think before I threw together a profile for Bain. I've called her the Chief Guard of Mirkwood for a while now, but I'm not sure if I should just lay claim to a canon role like that. Should I leave that bit of backstory out until the new Plaza is a bit more sorted, or should I use the title, and take it out/have Bain retire if I need to later?

@Luthien - The thread is up, just come and RP at your leisure! I don't really need anything specific at the moment other than some help getting the thread/RP going. You can feel free to RP without sharing any writing/art, etc.

Aig, I think it's a mix of submissions right now, but if people are willing to repost their backstory if necessary, it would probably help in the long run to have different threads. I'll go and see if I can get something started.

Bain: I say go for it! Lay claim to that title, but remember, you are also in charge of the squirrels.

Dimcairen, that's a lovely pic you found for Lorien! I'll edit my character submissions now.

If anyone is playing a Dwarves of Lindon, your submissions can go there.

Bain, you can be the Chief Guard in the meanwhile as you were in the Old Plaza. I'm keeping Aig as Herald of Elrond and will be playing the Lord of Imladris in a few RPs as I did when I was an Imladris / Eriador Ruler in the Old Plaza but I'll happily give him up and my title if a ruler is chosen who is not me in the days to come.

Bonsoir all,

Can I ask a wee favour of someone with power buttons? When the Character Submissions thread was one, I entered a submission - but the new Mirkwood thread suits it more, so I popped it in there, and just went back to delete the other, but ... alas!

It won't let me delete it because someone has 'replied' to it! Help! And thank you!

@Moriel, regarding the Laintaen's suggestion in the Imladris Maze: I'm totally game to RP together as our characters cross the Brunien and stuff, if you are too! But I have to warn you that I really didn't have a plan for Eámanë other than to wildly make up stuff as the game went along. I'm still recalling her character and how to RP. :smiley16:

I would be eager to join any of the more Army-centric threads and activities here in Imladris. Those were the RPs I participated in the most when I was a Rivvy elf. I remember doing several campaigns against Mordor in my early days. I also hope that despite my current icon I could still contribute my RPing to the Host. :smiley9:

Trust me, Reik, minions like you and Moriel are certainly welcome here! There's plenty of evil to fight and you can also make an Elf NPC. I'm working on Adab Nestad, the healing house, to go up (I might not finish before work but I could tonight afterwards) then I'll be working on an RPG for the Elven Army which will be a union of sorts comprising Lindon, Imladris, Mirkwood, and Lorien. We'll kick off that union host by ridding some dragons from the Withered Heath and Orcs from the Grey Mountains from the Vales of Anduin.

Quill is going to lead Adab Nestad, we've just spoken! So I'll work on the Elven Host in the meanwhile and my bios.

@Reikon Suchi-ru Reiks, my first foray into Rivvy host RP was as... all the villains :smiley16: Come, play!

@Mazana I was imagining Gellam being creeped out and trying to make his merry way along on his own, up to you whether Eámanë goes the same way :smiley16: That's assuming I post first, if you post first, do what you want and I'll play along either way! I'm not fussed. I'm in an online workshop much of the day so I'm not sure when I'm going to post

@Aigronding Mordagnir Ooh that sounds really exciting! I'll definitely be down for that. My text-based RPing is a little rusty, but hopefully years of D&D roleplay (though oddly never as an Elf!) will serve me well as I jump back into all of these fun adventures. Thanks for your work on this! Let me know if there's anything you need in terms of assistance.

Back when I was coming up with Alagon's pub I swear I went with Abad for some actual linguistic reason instead of Adab, but I can't figure out where I got that from anymore, so I've edited it to Adab :smiley16: Fixing the banner image now, but if anyone else sees somewhere in the OP I missed editing it, please let me know!

I've got faith in you, Reik, and missed you, man. I'll need leaders in the Elven Host so I could delegate responsibilities. Moriel has assured me she'll be one and Anarie says she'll look things over before deciding so I really just have Moriel. Would you like to be one? Also you could help me with the plot structure once I give you the basic outline. It's my birthday so I'll be out most of the day but I have two days off and no plans for Monday so I hope we can talk that day about this Elven Host RPG to get the elven military going. Got you on Messenger now!

A blast from the Past, Moriel, that made my day!!! Once Agent Brows, always Agent Brows (infests this forum with evil plots for minions, my friends of Mordor). :smiley17: :smiley17: :smiley17:

I am well balanced between the darkness and the light, Dimcairien. Thank you, it's shaping up to be a good day. I am sipping coffee from my colo-changing Frozen mug and ready for roasting marshmallows tonight (Mor Toast and Rior actually hit it on the nail, it's actually happening later, lol).

Thanks, Reik! As always, I'm here on Narv Plaza until they turn the lights out! Also, I'm on this Plaza site which I've been RP'ing at since Old Plaza shut down, made by Rivvy. https://lordoftherings.freeforums.net/ . I'm halfway done with a Rangers of the North outpost, Reik, called Osdolen (it's from the Old Plaza); I hope we can have some fun there together. We could plot some missions? I know you've played Elves and will for the Elven Host here when I have it up but hopefully you want to RP a Ranger, too, or a villain of some kind for Osdolen.

Rior, I'm happy to have you back and I'm excited you're the first one in the Pony!!!

I've noticed in the RP threads that we're RP'ing in 3007, does that mean that my wife (Olly (my former mc)) is alive again? If memory serves she died in 3014 while the former plaza was still up and running. :smiley16: :shock: Just asking as I'm not keen on having a zombie on my hands. :smiley12: :smiley9:

Personally Rior I'm just either making minor adjustment to my personal timelines or.. not exactly ignoring, but sort of glossing over the time change :smiley16: and not stressing out about it, so my stories are the same as they were before if I want them to be.

Aig - Can not wait to RP in the Host of the Eldar and confront Sapphirus and his brood. Now that we have an up and running plaza again (and the UK still under some sort of a lockdown) Its given me the perfect excuse to dust the bookshelves down and by that I mean recharge my kindle fire and start rereading LOTR. I've been a really naughty Elf and I've not actually read anything by Tolkien in over 6 years :shock: Real life demands and Adult life I suppose, its strange to think I was 16/17 when I joined and I level up this year to a grand age of 30 :smiley9:

Rior and Moriel, if you both want the timeline here to be 3014 I can make the edit! I know there's been talk which year certain forums want to be in.

Rochindil, I spent time with my family and now I'm with friends for the rest of the night! I look forward to writing with you! Dragon-fighting will be fun! I hope you'll want to RP Rangers, too, their outpost activity will be up tomorrow, I'm halfway done with the OP. You'll be able to play an Elf of the Host of the Eldar, too; Tolkien mentions in "The Fellowship of the Ring" that the Elves work together in "The Ring Goes South" chapter. I read Middle-earth material, passages, every day, mostly from The Silmarillion and the Histories, but it's been a while since I read the core books (The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and Lord of the Rings) straight through...maybe 20 years...so don't feel bad, lol.

@Aigronding Mordagnir if it doesn't matter too much to you, personally I think it would be easier to stick with the old year, then no one's worrying about adjusting their bios/stories/timelines :smiley8: But if others disagree, I'm not going to put up a fight

Hey ALL, I previously played the tavern keeper of The Four Winds in >>Osdolen<< and Aig kindly asked if I'd like to do so again. In the interest of spreading the love in our shiny new plaza, would anyone else like to take it on instead? If nobody volunteers in a day or so I'll jump back in :smiley8:

Can I play a trainee tavern keeper? I'd be interested, but as I've never played a leader type role in an RP, I'm terrified of jumping in blind after so many years away.

It's okay, Oro! KD needs you, my friend, so I'll take care of the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains here. Either I'll make a thread for them or I'll create guild-related information about Dwarves in an Imladris Activity Archives thread, letting Dwarf members of this forum or Dwarf NPCs live out their mountain life in the Lindon Free RP. I'll be in KD for at least one activity soon as I make sure this Imladris forum is on its feet, old friend. May your axe stay sharp :smiley22: !

Welcome back, Tenharien, and have fun! I'm happy to see Flowers and Phials near each other again on the Plaza :smiley8: .

I'll check it out tonight, Moriel :smiley17: , and I'll be there soon. Already thinking up a description of the Wethrin Isles to edit into the Lindon Free RP though I won't go into detail about each island or make threads for them like I have on Rivvy's site. I'm starting to remember what I planned for Valion's family, too, and they'll be featured in Aigronding's bio. Tavari has a couple nieces and a nephew. I'll be showing ties the Mordagnirs have with the Isilhervens, my NPC Tharmáras' family. Soon you can add more names to our family tree, including Ercassie :smiley11: .

Dimmy, I think that would be an interesting storyline for Osdolen, seeing Moriel's tavern keeper training a new one or a secondary! We'll see what Moriel says! :smiley17:

Osdolen has been made for the Rangers and Elf-friends! Turin Ringhun sent me an ERC Ranger's Guide so I'll see if I'll utilize any information therein to be featured for Rangers in an Imladris Archives thread, relating to guilds and military. I'll be working on the Imladris Archives Thread and the Elven Host RPG next while finishing Aigronding's bio and starting to reply back to members who have left me posts here in the forum!
:D

Edit: Oops, I was in this window for minutes and didn't see Moriel's post :smiley9: :smiley16: ! Okay, we'll see if anyone wants to take the tavernkeep's position in a day and can train your character, Dimmy. If not, then Moriel will be hers and can instruct yours.
