BRIEF HISTORY AND BACKGROUND This game will be set in the Third Age of Middle Earth. Specifically in T.A. 1641, almost fifteen hundred years before the War of the Rings and some sixteen hundred years after the War of the Last Alliance when Isildur cut the ring from Sauron hand at the base of Orodruin (Mount Doom). The northern land of Arthedain, last province of the Eriador Kingdom of Arnor, is threatened by the might of the Witch-King of Angmar. The Great Plague devastated the lands only few short years ago; in places almost a third of the populations died over the course of two years. Now Wargs and Orcs have increasingly raided along the borders, and the few traveling peddlers whisper tales coming out of the lands of eastern Cardolan and southwestern Rhudaur of a new ‘Red Magi’ who has arising adding 'his' might to the brutality of the 'Warlord'.
The King of Arthedain, Argeleb the 2nd, is desperate... if something is not done, and soon, all that he has been trying to hold together could be lost. With only a few loyal knights and local militia, the King has come to rely more and more on his 'Rangers' - warriors of follow the old Dúnedàin Codes; to protect the northlands and the kingdom of Isuldur, to oppose the Enemies of Man, and the aid their comrades at all cost. Not everyone trusts these man though, for they tend to keep to themselves and act without permission from local authorities, instead acting in the 'best interest of all'.
As if these burdens where not enough for the King, his second daughter, Adarawin, has disappeared. It is whispered that she might well have been kidnapped by agents of this ‘Red Magi’ and spirited away to the lands under the control of the Black Troll known as the Warlord (one of the Witch-Kings servants). Secretly then the King has assemble a group of heroes to investigate her disappearances, to sneak into the lost realms of Eriador, discover if the girl is truly there and if so, rescue her and return her to her father…
So begins the dark Chronicles of the Grey Seekers…
