Kin-strife – IntroductionIntroductionStanding atop the burnished tower of Osgiliath, Orodreth held high his sword, catching the failing sunlight that flung widehis shadow behind him. In the plaza below the people of Gondor stood watching, a huge throng whose uncertain gazerested upon him.The moment should have been a glorious one. The culmination of five years of campaigning. Of bitter cold mornings afternights spent on watch, and of bitter tears shed to mingle with the blood of loved ones darkening the battle-ground. Of hardmarches and harder waits, of blisters, sores, stale food and scant sleep. But also of the thrill of battle, the exultation ofleading men into the fray, knowing that they lived, and would die, at your command.And he had led. Born to nobility but not of the royal line, nevertheless it seemed that he only had to speak and men wouldlisten, only had to issue an order and the act would be done. At Linhir he had been but a captain, yet it was his men whohad led the uprising, and when it was over, it was he who had been toasted as victor. And from then on, through victoryand setback alike, the men had followed him. Not the sons of Castamir, not even, it seemed at times, Castamir himself.But him. And surely, there could be nothing better, to be followed, to be obeyed, and to be loved by men for whom yourword is law. So that when, finally, the walls of Osgiliath had opened before them, who else but he could have led the menthrough the breach, from outer keep to inner wall; to wrest, finally, the jewel of Gondor's realm from Eldacar's hands, andclaim its crown for Castamir, rightful heir to the throne?The moment should have been a glorious one. And yet the knot that twisted his stomach was not born of excitement, ofthe thrill of victory, but of regret. For the blood which stained the hills of Gondor and slickened the streets of even itsfairest cities was not that of orc, or Variag, or Wainrider, but of the men, and women too, of Gondor herself. The blood ofbrother spilt by brother, kin by kin, as the realm had torn itself apart. The war had not been one waged for survival, oreven for the cause of right over wrong, good over evil, but for...for what? Ostensibly for the purity of bloodline, to preventthe blood of the Lords of Gondor from being further diluted. Yet throughout the age the blood of Dunedain and commonerhad been so inter-mingled that few could claim with certainty that theirs was a pure line. No, that was but a justification forthe war, not its root.And the root, then? For some, no doubt, it was the quest for power, to advance one's own family line, a goal which forcenturies had been sought through whispers and deals, alliances and politics, but which now over-spilled the boundariesof tradition and law to rage as a storm of blood and steel. But for every person who fought with such dreams to warm theirnights, another hundred took up arms without hope of power. And for such as them, it was for glory, and for honour, thatthey fought, so that the side they chose was merely that, a side, chosen because friends or family had so sworn beforethem.This truth had a bitter taste, but was, even so, understandable. Generations of Gondorians had been raised on stories ofthe old wars, of great deeds performed and great victories won. Yet for a lifetime or more, there had been no wars to fight,no battles to be won; with Sauron quiescent, the South tamed, and even the Easterlings withdrawn, all that remained wasto keep watch on the borders and old places. And what glory was there to be won in that? Scant surprise, then, that whenopportunity arose, so many took to arms. And the common soldier, the minor noble, they cared little for the powerstruggles of the royal lines, of the Southron Kingdoms’ greed, or even the dark rumours which ever surrounded Castamir.They cared only for the chance to cover themselves in glory and in honour. And Orodreth had counted himself amongthem.Yet now, standing on Osgiliath's tower, he knew that there was no honour to be gained here, no glory to be won. All thewar had done was to water the fields of Gondor with the blood of her own, to satisfy the greed for wealth and power of aselect few who cared nothing for the people or the realm. But even as he cursed them for this, he knew that the blamewas as much his as it was theirs, that evil was not merely done, but allowed to be done. Whether Sauron's hand wasbehind the uprising, as some rumours had it, or whether this new evil was born in the hearts of men alone, Orodreth knewnot and cared less. At his sword's edge had the blood of his own kin been spilled, at his word thousands had perished, fornothing more than the false allure of glory and a concept of purity that was probably no longer anything but a myth, if everit had been more. This he had done, and for this, he knew, there was none to blame but himself, none to bear the burdenof guilt but himself.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – IntroductionSo that as he looked, to where his guards held Ornendil, son of Eldacar, defeated Captain of Osgiliath and his own kin,whom as his enemy he was doomed now to slay else be labelled traitor himself, he knew that far from such a deed beingbeyond him, it was merely symbolic of all he had already done. Live now or die, be known by history as hero or traitor,nothing could erase the deaths of those he had slain, or caused to be slain. Not for survival, not for what was right, but forselfish glory, at the bidding of greed.For an eternal moment he held his sword aloft, delaying what could not be delayed, until it seemed that the sun itselfburned in his blade. He had never felt love for Castamir, but now he knew only hatred, for having ordered him to performthis last act of kin slaying, and for the pleasure that he knew with sudden certainty that Castamir, standing at his side,would be taking from his discomfort. And hatred for himself, too, born of the knowledge that he had walked too long onthis path to turn aside now. Looking down, he forced himself to meet Ornendil's gaze, almost envying the man even as hemurmured silent apology for what he knew he must do. Then, as the world held its breath, he brought the blade flashingdown, and the Kin-strife took another victim.For a heart-beat there was silence. Then, as the sun slipped beneath the hills and the dark shadows of Mordor spreadacross the city, so a cry went up from the people as they poured forwards, moving in furious rage against the guards whosought to hold them back. But for all their fury, fist and dagger found little purchase on helm and shield, and at Castamir'sword, blood flowed through the streets, the people of Osgiliath cut down, their final defiance silenced by steel. And as thenight deepened, fires sparked and spread, so that those who did not find death at the hands of Castamir's men found it inthe raging fire that consumed the city.For a night and a day the city burned, and its razing would linger in the memories of men down through the generations.And in that night's dark hour, Castamir sealed his own eventual downfall, his true face revealed, as those few whosurvived both steel and fire swore that they would neither grieve or rest until Eldacar was restored to the throne. The Kinstrifewas not over. It was just begun.Partial GenealogyRhovanionGondorNarmacilCalmacilVidugavia Minalcar (= Laniel) Calimehtar?

Kin-strife – WelcomeBackgroundGondorWhen the realm of Gondor was founded in the year of the Second Age 3320, the Dunedain who chose to live in the south,in the lands that look upon the Bay of Belfalas, formed themselves into a defensive coalition known as the PelargireanLeague. Separate from, but closely tied to, Gondor itself as ruled by the sons of Elendir, the League lent military aid toGondor when aid was needed, and looked to them for arbitration between members of the league when necessary.Following the wars of the Last Alliance at the end of the Second Age, however, Dunedain blood of the League wasincreasingly diluted, as the Dunedain rulers, few in number, were forced to intermarry with their subject population. Thisled to a both a threat to the claim of the Dunedin elite of their innate right to rule, and a growing dissatisfaction amongsttheir non-Dunedain subjects who were still considered as lower caste even though their bloodlines were increasinglymixed with those who ruled. As a result, the League realised that they could no longer impose order upon their people,and invited the Royal Line of Gondor to rule them. And thus was royal dominion consolidated south and west of Gondor.The king at the time, Siriondil, delegated his son Tarannon to rule these southern lands from the town of Pelargir, naminghim Captain of the Hosts, though the old rulers of the League retained local authority.From then on, it became tradition for the heir to the throne of Gondor to take this title until the time came for him to takethe throne. And in the following decades the Pelargir fleet, under command of heirs eager to prove their worth, waged waragainst the people of Harad until by the Third Age 1050 all the lands of Umbar and the Ethir were ruled by Gondor.This tradition, however, was broken when Narmacil took the crown in 1226, since he was childless, and so forced to leavePelargir in hands of first a lieutenant, then, in 1240, his brother, Calmacil. In this same year, Wild Men of the East moveddown from the plains beyond the Inland Sea and attacked the northern territories of Gondor. In response, Narmacilcreated the office of 'Regent of the Realm', which was conferred upon Calmacil's oldest son, Minalcar, who succeeded inrepelling the Easterlings.The office of Captain of the Hosts was also altered at this time to Captain of Ships, so that the Regent had authority overthe forces on land, and the Captain of Ships over the naval forces in the south. When Calmacil died, Narmacil, stillchildless, appointed Calmacil's younger son, Calimehtar, to the office of Captain. And so was the link severed betweenthe rule of the south and the royal succession, between Pelargir and Osgiliath.Meanwhile, the Northmen of Rhovanion, great in numbers, feuded amongst themselves. And when in 1240 theEasterlings moved west into Rhovanion to threaten both Rhovanion and Gondor, some of the Northmen princes sought toally themselves with them. Vidugavia, however, the most powerful of the Northmen princes, offered Minalcar alliance, andtogether they drove the Easterlings out of Rhovanion.In return, Minalcar recognised Vidugavia's claim to Kingship over all the Northmen princes, thus gaining for Gondor thesupport of Rhovanion, a bond strengthened by the betrothal of his son Valacar to Vidugavia's daughter Vidumavi. Thisalliance was important both to Vidugavia to ensure his control over the Northmen Princes, and also to Minalcar, who wasfeeling threatened by his brother's strength in the south.To further diminish his brother's authority, then, Minalcar replaced local rulers in the south with those loyal to him. InAnfalas, Linhir, South Ithilien and Harondor, he displaced the Dunedain elite who had ruled there since the Pelargianleague was first established. And in response, these old Lords pledged in secret their allegiance to the Captain of theShips, who became seen as a champion of the 'Old Order', of those who saw the political rearrangements forced on themfrom Gondor as unjust.Minalcar was succeeded by Valacar, who had in Vidumavi a Rhovanian wife. And in 1432 when their son, Eldacar, cameto take the throne, this proved the final straw for the old order of the south, who had not only been displaced as rulers bythose loyal to north Gondor, but now found themselves subject to a King whose blood was impure. Forming themselvesinto an organisation known as the Traditionalist Confederacy, and still commanding loyalty from the people they had ruledfor centuries, they marshalled under the rulership of Castamir, Captain of the Ships, although his authority was everfragile.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – WelcomeThe Confederacy first demanded Eldacar's abdication. Then, when he refused, they gathered their forces and marched onOsgiliath. In response Eldacar mustered his own forces, including those who answered his call from Rhovanian. And sobegan the Kin-strife.Minas Ithil fell to rebels within its own walls who were loyal to Castamir. But Eldacar succeeded in establishing adefensive line along the river Erui, and fortified both sides of the Anduin where the Erui gave into it. And so for a time,Castamir's northward advance was thwarted.Castamir's forces finally breached the Erui line of defences in the spring of 1433, allowing them to sail up the Anduin andland forces behind the King's lines in Anorien and Ithilien. But the Prince-president of Minas Anor, still loyal to Eldacar,barred the passage of the Pelennor on its western bank, whilst the hill forts in Emyn Arnen shut the rebels out of NorthIthilien, thereby protecting Osgiliath. And so both sides prepared for an extended conflict.Eldacar's men held for four years. But, finally, the strategic hills about Emyn Arnen were lost, and Minas Arnor, sensingdefeat, sided with the traditionalists and surrendered in the autumn of 1437. With both the western approach to Osgiliathopen to him from Minas Anor, and the northern approach open from the hills of Emyn Arnen, Castamir lay siege toOsgiliath, Gondor's capital. Osgiliath, however, was not built to withstand such an attack, having relied on Minas Anor andMinas Ithil for its defence. And within but a few months, Osgiliath fell.Eldacar's eldest son, Ornendil, held the Great Bridge against the enemy, allowing the King and his supporters to escapeinto North Ithilien. And from there, they escaped into Rhovanian, where they found refuge with the kinsmen of Eldacar'smother.Ornendil himself was captured by Orodreth of Morthond, who knew that by offering Ornendil mercy, the people ofOsgiliath would surrender without further bloodshed. However, others amongst the rebels, jealous of Orodreth's authority,accused him of treason through his mercy towards Ornendil, and, in order to prove himself loyal, Orodreth was ordered byCastamir to kill Ornendil. On witnessing this act, the people of Osgiliath rose up in anger, and in response Castamirordered them slaughtered and the city put to the torch. An evil which was to be long remembered.And so, with Gondor taken, Castamir was proclaimed King, rightful heir to the throne.Leaving Osgiliath in ruins, Castamir returned to Pelargir, naming it the new capital of Gondor. This favouring of the southdid nothing to aid his reputation in the north, however, and the next four years saw growing unrest amongst the people ofGondor. And seeds of dissention, sown both by Castamir's indifference to the north and also by rumours that Eldacar wasmustering forces to return and reclaim his throne, ensured that increasingly the inhabitants of north Gondor sawthemselves as a conquered people, ruled against their will by Castamir.In the 1440s, rumours began to circulate that a great host was gathering in Rhovanion under the banner of Eldacar. Tocounter this, Castamir sought to raise garrisons at Minas Anor and Minas Ithil. Minas Anor responded, but Minas Ithil rosein revolt, declaring for Eldacar. And before Castamir could put down this rebellion, Eldacar's forces made themselvesknown, moving south towards Gondor. The King was returned.The year is 1446 of the Third Age of Middle-earth, and the final act of the Kin-strife is begun.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – WelcomeSauron & the NazgulStill weakened from his defeat at the end of the Second Age, Sauron lacks physical presence enough in the lands ofMiddle-earth to directly become involved the wars of Kin-strife. However, with the Nine returned to the world, he is notwithout power. And aware that the conflict could only serve to weaken the realm of Gondor, and so serve hasten the endof both their Watch upon Mordor and the power of the fleets, Sauron's influence can be seen by those with wisdom torecognise his dark hand.Ostensibly supporting Castamir, in truth this is only because he understands that should Eldacar succeed in bringingdown the strength of both Rhovanion and the North Kingdom upon the Usurper, the war would be quickly over. As such,by aiding Castamir, Sauron hopes to prolong the war, thus greatly weakening Gondor no matter which side is eventuallyvictorious. And so it is that in the north the Witch-king moves against the fragmented Realm of Arnor, whilst spurred intoaction by the return of their ancient lord Uvatha the Horseman, the Easterling Variags dream of bloody victory once more,and dark whispers of glory urge the rest of the Hithlum tribes to march west upon the Northmen of Rhovanion.ArnorIn the north, King Araphor of the Arthedain people had supported Castamir in the years leading up to the Kin-strife, sincethe Pelargirean League sent grain from the south in return for timber. Castamir had also sent a fleet of ships and giventhem over to Araphor's command in order to help secure the Gwalthlo river, and re-establish some sense of order in thenear-anarchy of rulerless Cardolan.However, when the Witch-king moved south in renewed assault, King Araphor had little choice but to seek to counter thisthreat. At the same time, Castamir abruptly withdrew all trade links and support. Because of this, and perhaps alsosuspecting the Witch-king's influence in what for the Nazgul Lord was a most timely withdrawal of support by Castamir,Araphor now declares himself against Castamir.The Realms of HaradThe Kings of Harad, united as the Confederacy of Southron Kingdoms under Zimrakhil and his brother Belphegor, formthe core of the support for Castamir, growing rich from trade in goods necessary for war. Further south, the rulers of theRaj and realms of Far and Greater Harad have found that their trade in luxury items has been harmed by the Kin-strife,but are more inclined to wait for order to be restored in Gondor than to seek to play a part in the Kin-strife on either side.KhazadDurin's Folk have benefited from the Kin-strife, selling arms and armour to both sides. However, with Eldacar securing hisposition in Rhovanion, trade with Castamir down the Anduin has become difficult. Durin bides his time, but it is clear thatshould the war in Gondor become prolonged, he will have to choose a side else risk losing the possibility of trading witheither.QuendiThe elves of Middle-earth care little for the affairs of men. And yet, as the wiser among their number begin to sense thedark hand of Sauron behind the Kin-strife, there is some talk of the need to act, albeit indirectly.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – WelcomeKin-strife at a GlanceWelcome to the Kin-strife!WelcomeThis module has many new features, and as such is very different to the Third Age, circa 1650; Third Age, Circa 2950 andFourth Age, circa 1000 games that you may be used to playing.We have sought to increase the importance of character development, to re-introduce the element of discovery andexploration without losing any strategic depth, to allow more of the characters of Tolkien’s world to be encountered and toplay a significant role, and finally to introduce a greater flexibility and degree of choice in nation design without losing thecoherence of those nations’ identity. To this end, the module has several new features, the most important of which canbe summarised as follows:New NationsWe have created 14 new nations, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses, characters and items, lands andpopulation centres.Nation DesignYou now have the option to tailor your nation to your own taste, choosing from thousands of options and possibilities.New WorldKin-strife has new encounters, new riddles, and new locations. Even the land of Middle-earth itself will look slightlydifferent to the way it does in other modules, as we have returned to the The Lord of the Rings for our inspiration, tocreate a new interpretation of the world.Non-player CharactersMany of the characters of Middle-earth can now be sought out and recruited to join your side, after which you can controlthem as you would your other characters.Each of these features has required changes in the way that the module is presented, and the game played. So werecommend that you take the time to read through this module thoroughly, and if you have any questions, please get intouch.WinningTo win the game, all opposing nations must be eliminated. (There is no One Ring victory in this module.)Notes on Module CreationAlthough set only two hundred years before the Third Age, circa 1650 module, you will notice many differences betweenthe world of the 1650 games and that of the Kin-strife, not all of which can necessarily be seen as a result of the differentperiods of time. Which is to say that the two centuries dividing the modules are not sufficient to account for all thedifferences, be they the establishing or destruction of cities, or the shifting and reforming of nations.This is because just as the Third Age, circa 1650 module is one possible interpretation of the world of Middle-earth,translated into a framework suitable for game play, so the Kin-strife module is an alternative one. Both are based firmly onthe writings of Tolkien and the ICE sourcebooks, but this information has then been interpreted to create the two MiddleearthPBM modules, in what is at times in a similar manner, and at times in a somewhat different fashion.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – WelcomeIn addition, when there was no information available in the writings of Tolkien, regarding, for example, characters in anation or location of population centres, for the Third Age, circa 1650 module this information was created. In the Kinstrife,however, whilst some of these 'blanks' have been filled in for purposes of game balance, so far as was possible,these options have been left open for you to decide upon as part of the creation of your nation.Those of you familiar with ICE's Kin-strife sourcebook will notice that several of the characters in the Line of Tirkhor nationare alive at the time of this module even though, as part of one of ICE's scenarios set during the Kin-strife, there is a largepossibility that they are killed. The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly, at the time of this module (set during the final yearsof the civil war), it is unclear whether, according to the ICE scenario, they have yet been assassinated. And secondly,since their deaths are only a possibility not a certainty in the scenario, it seemed beneficial to the balance of this moduleto give them the benefit of the doubt!Finally, throughout Kin-strife we have remained true to Tolkien, from the placing of towns and cities, to the characters thatpopulate the world and the forces they command. Sometimes we have added new material in order to make the gamemore balanced, or taken inspiration from ICE's works, but when we have done so it has always been within the contextand style of the world that Tolkien created.How to Use This ModuleUnlike previous modules, this document does not contain everything required to play Kin-strife. Instead, unless specifiedin this module, the rules for playing the game will remain the same as those for the Third Age, circa 1650 module. Assuch, in order to play, you will need the following documents. These are freely available from our website, or as hard copyon request.The Kin-strife Module BookThe first is this document, which contains all the information unique to Kin-strife.A Middle-earth RulebookThe second is a document containing the rules of Middle-earth. These are best presented in the new Middle-earth Guide,and we recommend you use these. However, if you do not have the Middle-earth Guide, then the rules used in Kin-strifeare the Third Age, circa 1650 or Third Age, circa 2950 rules with the addition of the new orders available in the FourthAge, circa 1000 module. Where a rule given in the Kin-strife module book contradicts one given in a Middle-earthrulebook, the ruling in the Kin-strife module book takes precedence.A Note on VersionsAt the bottom left-hand side of each page, you will notice a module version number. This is so that if we need to changeany aspect of the module, either permanently or for a particular game, we can ensure you have the correct moduleversion. In addition, Table F and each individual Nation chapter has its own variant number (i.e. Quendi 002). This isbecause out of all the aspects of the game, nation details are those most likely to change. And so if we specify that agame is to be played using version 1 of the rules, with variant 001 of the Loyalist and Neutral nations but variant 005 ofthe Usurper nations, again, you can ensure that you have the correct information. If in doubt whether you have the rightinformation for any given game, please ask!Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Additional RulesAdditional RulesNation Set-upsEach nation can be customised through the choosing from various starting options, purchased at game set-up. Theseoptions cover all aspects of a nation, from characters to forces, from population centres to special abilities.OverviewEvery nation can purchase starting options from Table F. In addition, each nation has four tables (J, N, R, and V) ofunique set-up options. Each table consists of options covering a different area of your nation as follows:Table FTable JTable NTable RTable Vconsists of general options (the options in Table F are available to each nation).consists of military options (each nation has its own unique Table J).consists of character and magic item options (each nation has its own unique Table N).consists of population centre and general nation options, as well as options providing information aboutartifacts, starting locations of characters, etc. (each nation has its own unique Table R).consists of Special Nation Abilities (each nation has its own unique Table V).Every option has a points cost, and you have a total of 23,000 points to spend. If points are not spent, they are wasted. Inaddition to the total points limit, the following restrictions must be adhered to regarding points expenditure on specifictables:Table J: You must spend exactly 3000 points on this table.Table N: You must spend at least 4000 points on this table.Table V: You must spend at least 4000 points on this table.Order of Option PurchasesOptions purchased will be applied to your nation one table at a time, in alphabetical order of the tables. Optionspurchased within a table will be applied to your nation in the order you give them. For example, all Table N options will beapplied before any Table R options, with those Table N options applied in the order you have given them.Options that provide information about an aspect of the game provide that information as accurate at game start. Forexample, if you purchase an option telling you where another nation’s character is located, and that character is movedthrough an option purchased by that nation, you will discover the location they are moved to.This order of options is important to bear in mind if more than one option affects the same element of your nation, both togain maximum benefit from your chosen options, and to avoid options being wasted.The exceptions to this order are the Castamir’s Bribe Options (options 11R021 – 11R038) and the Eldacar’s Gift Options(options 01R030 – 01R045). These are applied after the Table N options of every nation have been applied.Example 1You have four villages, four towns, and purchase two options: option one changes all villages to towns, and option twogives all towns a fort. If you list them in this order, all your villages will become towns, and all of these will gain forts,resulting in your nation having eight towns with forts. However, if you list them the other way round, your towns will gainforts, then your villages will become towns, but these new towns will not receive forts, resulting on your nation having fourtowns with forts and four towns without forts.Example 2You purchase two options: option one grants one of your towns a fort, and option two turns all of your towns into majortowns. If you list them in this order, both options will take effect. However, if you list option two first, the town you specifyin option one will not be a town when that option is applied, so the option will fail.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Additional Rules If an option to upgrade weapon and armour types is chosen, this will affect all appropriate troops: both defaultstarting troops and any gained from starting options. If an option allows a town or major town to be upgraded in size, it cannot be hidden at the time that it is upgraded. If an option requires a character to have a specific rank (such as agent rank), this refers to a rank greater than 0. If an option allows a character to be doubled, the character must have agent or emissary rank. Where an option’s details contradict any of these notes, the option details take precedence.Default Nation Set-up OptionsIf you do not wish to create your own nation set-up (or we have not received your nation set-up by the time the gamebegins), a default nation set-up will be used. Default options are marked with a tick (). Note that the default options areonly chosen if you do not send in a nation set-up. Sending in a nation set-up with only half the points spent will not resultin default options being chosen to spend the remaining points.Joining a GameThere are two main ways of joining a new game. The first is to simply contact us to tell us that you wish to play in a newgame. We will then tell you what variant the next game will be (which version of the module and nation details are beingused). You should then complete nation set-ups for at least three nations you are happy to play, and submit them to us.When the game is ready to begin, you will be told which of the nations you are playing, and receive your first turn.The second is to arrange with friends to play as a team. In which case, having agreed this with us, you can decidebetween you which nations you will each play, and then submit the nation set-ups to us.New ordersIn addition to the orders available in the Third Age, circa 1650 and Third Age, circa 2950 modules, several additionalorders from the Fourth Age, circa 1000 module can be issued.The following order is available to all nations:942 – Move Turn Map (order #942)In addition, the following orders may be available to certain nations, depending on the set-up options chosen:496 – Build Road960 – Increase Caravan Prices.965 – Reduce Caravan Prices.Details of these orders can be found either in Appendix F at the end of this document, or in the new Middle-earth Guide.New EncountersThe Kin-strife module features all new encounters. Success or failure may be based on skill ranks, challenge rank, race ornation to name but a few possibilites. Be aware that as in previous modules some encounters are deadly, though on thewhole you'll find that encounters are more friendly than before. Occasionally characters will compete against NPCsencountered based on ranks other than Challenge Rank, so be wary. In addition, some encounters might appear at firstglance to be identical to ones from other modules, but you might still find them to be different....Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Additional RulesThe One RingThe One Ring victory is not allowed. At the time of the Kin-strife, the One Ring is still lost, and its tale is told in anotherstory...Recruiting Non-Player CharactersMany of the characters wandering the lands of Middle-earth can now not only be encountered, but enlisted to your nation,after which they can be issued orders as you would command your other characters. In addition, they may bring with theman additional Special Nation Ability, which you can then make use of.If you encounter a non-player character (NPC) that has the potential to be recruited, you will be given an Recruit option.Only characters with the emissary skill have a chance of recruiting an NPC. If a character without emissary skill attemptsto recruit an NPC, the result may range from mildly annoying them to incurring their wrath and enmity.In order to attempt to recruit an NPC, the following conditions must be met:EncounterThe character must have encountered an NPC the previous turn, and been given the option to Recruit them.AllegianceLoyalist and Usurper nations can attempt to recruit NPCs who are either of the same allegiance or Neutral. (If a Loyalist orUsurper character attempts to recruit a Neutral NPC, the NPC is treated as if they are of the same same allegiance as therecruiting character.) Neutral nations can only recruit Neutral NPCs. The allegiance of NPCs is detailed in the Non-playerCharacters chapter of this module.Free NPC SlotOnly one NPC can be recruited per nation each name character phase. Which is to say you can recruit one NPC betweenturns 0 – 5, another one between turns 6 – 10, etc. If you recruit an NPC and they die, you still cannot recruit another oneuntil the next name character phase.Free Character SlotNPCs count towards your nation’s character limit. In order to successfully recruit an NPC, then, you must have at leastone free character slot available.The chance of successfully recruiting an NPC is roughly equivalent to the chance of an emissary successfully performingthe 505 – Bribe/Recruit Character order. If the attempt is successful, the NPC joins your nation. From the next turn theycan be issued orders in the same way as for any other character, and in addition you can then make use of any newSpecial Nation Ability granted to you by the NPC. If you gain a Special Nation Ability in this manner, you will retain it evenif the NPC is later killed. If you already have the Special Nation ability granted by the NPC, you will not gain anyextra/multiplied benefit.Other nations of your allegiance having Friendly and Tolerant relations with you will increase the chance of successfullyrecruiting an NPC, as it shows the NPC that your team is working well together.A successfully recruited NPC cannot be recruited by another player whilst they are under your control: they become, in allrespects, another of your characters.An NPC with mage skill will have spells randomly assigned to them, unless it is otherwise mentioned that the particularNPC has specific spells.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Additional RulesChampionsSome characters are considered exceptional characters: champions. Champion characters can be issued an additional(third) order each turn. All normal rules and restrictions governing the issuing of orders still apply to this third order, sothat even a champion character cannot be issued two skill orders of the same type in the same turnFor example, Elrond, with mage, emissary and command ranks, could be given the following set of orders:710 – Prentice Magery550 – Improve Population Centre185 – Downgrade Relationsbut not these orders:185 – Downgrade Relations300 – Change Tax Rate408 – Recruit Heavy InfantryArtifactsArtifact IDs (numbers) will change from game to game.Character limitsCharacter limits have been increased as follows:Turn Total Characters Allowed Maximum Recruited NPCs Allowed0 – 5 15 16 – 10 18 211 – 15 20 316 – 20 22 421+ 24 5Bear in mind that the total characters allowed includes any Recruited NPCs controlled. This means that if you recruit anNPC on the same turn as you try and name a new character, successfully recruit the NPC and as a result the characterlimit is reached, the name character order will fail.For Example:On turn 7 you are allowed a total of 18 characters. This could consists of 2 NPCs and 16 normal characters, 1 NPC and17 normal characters, or no NPCs and 18 normal characters.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Additional RulesNeutral NationsNeutral Nations Changing AllegianceNeutral nations have until turn 12 to change allegiance. Which is to say that turn 12 is the last turn they can attempt tochange. If a neutral nation does not change by turn 12, they may continue to play the game, but cannot win.The two neutral nations are encouraged to each choose a different allegiance, and to change allegiance sooner ratherthan later in the game. This is achieved though the incentive of a prize for doing so.Specifically: The first neutral nation to successfully change allegiance gains the prize If the other neutral nation successfully changes to the other allegiance, on the same turn or subsequent turns,they also gain the prize If both neutral nations successfully change allegiance to the same allegiance on the same turn, neither gains theprize.The prize gained is based on the turn that the nation changes allegiance, as follows:Turn Prize1 – 4 One character who is not already a champion becomes a champion.20,000 gold, placed in the nation’s treasury.Upgrade one town to a major town5 – 8 One character who is not already a champion becomes a champion.Upgrade one town to a major town9 – 12 One character who is not already a champion becomes a champion.The character who becomes a champion is the character with the highest combined skill ranks.Prizes are gained at the end of the turn when the nation successfully changes allegiance.Pre-aligned Neutral NationsIf a game is to have pre-aligned neutrals, then unless otherwise stated the Line of Tirkhor will start the game as a Loyalistnation, and the Khazad will start the game as a Usurper nation. In such a case, they are considered Loyalist and Usurperaccordingly for all starting options. For example, Castamir’s Bribes, which can affect all Usurper nations, will also also beable to affect affect the Khazad.Order FormatsOrders for this game will only be accepted in the form of a file generated by Automagic or MEOW, sent to us attached toan email. Both these order-writing packages are freely available on request, or from our website.

Kin-strife – Nations – An OverviewThe Nations – An OverviewUnlike other Middle-earth modules, there are only 14 nations in Kin-strife. This is both to facilitate team-work, and toensure that games are filled and so begin more quickly. In a standard game of Kin-strife there are 6 Loyalist nations, 6Usurper nations, and 2 Neutral nations. If the neutrals are pre-aligned then there are 7 Loyalist nations and 7 Usurpernations, with the Line of Tirkhor joining the Loyalists and the Khazad joining the Usurpers.At the core of the Loyalists are Eldacar and his allies, who are attempting to restore him to the throne of Gondor. Fightingwith them are other Free Peoples of Middle-earth, who have found themselves embroiled in the events of the Kin-strife. Inaddition, the Loyalists can find further support amongst many of the Wizards and magical beings who walk the world.Opposing the Loyalists are the Usurpers. As well as Castamir himself and those noble lines bound to him, are the nationsof the south who support his cause, as well as other nations whom Sauron has stirred to action. With close connections toSauron’s Dark Servants and the Nazgul, the Usurpers will find it possible to recruit further Nazgul and monsters to jointhem.The LoyalistsThe Loyalists might well be described as falling into two groups: those who have chosen war, and those who have hadwar thrust upon them. The Line of Eldacar and the Rebels of Ered Lithui are both determined to see Castamir removedfrom the throne, Eldacar because he believes that the throne is his by birthright, and the Rebels because life underCastamir has become intolerable. And the nations of Rhovanion, also, tied to Eldacar by blood and by alliance, will notrest until he and his line are restored as the heirs of Gondor. For the Arnorians in the north, however, barely recoveredfrom the Witch-king's recent assault, the last thing their King wished for was another war so soon, especially withCastamir's cessation of trade putting a strain on his nation's economy. And the Quendi ever seek to avoid meddling in theaffairs of men, yet, sensing the influence of Sauron behind events overtaking Middle-earth, have little choice but to playtheir part in the Kin-strife.1 – The Line of EldacarThe Line of Eldacar is an agent-based nation in Rhovanion, whose capital is, of necessity, hidden.2 – Rebels of Ered LithuiThe Rebels of Ered Lithui are located around the northern mountains of Mordor. Many of the Rebels are possessed ofstealth, whilst the location of population centres are flexible, allowing them to be moved during game set-up.3 – RhovanionThe nation of Rhovanion takes its name from the lands its people call home, and is a character-based nation that also hasmany population centres.4 – HorselordsThe Horselords roam the plains of Rhovanion, and are a cavalry-based nation.5 – Kingdom of ArnorThe Kingdom of Arnor covers a huge expanse of land to the west of the Misty Mountains. With many population centres toprotect, their few armies are stretched thin.6 – QuendiThe Quendi are scattered across the lands of Middle-earth. A character-based nation, a number of their populationcentres are hidden.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Nations – An OverviewThe UsurpersThe Usurpers are less a unified force than a collection of nations and individuals whose goals, be it for reasons ofnecessity or sheer chance, currently coincide. In the north, the Witch-king moves against what remains of old Kingdom ofArnor. In Gondor, Castamir and his family, aided by the Southron Kingdoms, seek to repel Eldacar and strengthen theirhold over the land. And in the east, the Hithlum seize their opportunity to move against the Rhovanion people. Eachbenefits from the others' actions, yet it would be a mistake to call them truly allied. And even within Castamir's own factionthere are divisions, with his father Calimehtar's brothers wielding a great deal of authority, to the extent that there aresome who claim that they are the true powers behind the rebellion.And yet perhaps there is more unity behind the Usurpers than first appears. For it the Lieutenant of Sauron, the Witchking,who moves in the north. It is another of Sauron’s Dark Servants, Adunaphel, whose soft voice holds Zimrahkil,ambassador for the Southron Kingdoms, under her sway. The Cor Aran, or Black Crows, the secret police who maintaincontrol throughout Gondor, are possessed of secrets and powers only those whose souls have been given over to Sauroncan hope to wield. And the Hithlum, thinking that they fight to carve land for themselves, are by so doing acting accordingto Sauron's wishes in breaking the back of the allies of the Dunedain.Not yet ready to show his martial strength, nevertheless, the dark shadow of Sauron's influence lengthens across theland.11 – Line of CastamirThe Line of Castamir has many characters and population centres. However, they must share the lands of Gondor, and itsresources, with the Lines of Morlaen, Elendin and Tirkhor.12 – Line of MorlaenThe Line of Morlaen is the second of the three Usurper nations in Gondor, whose leaders command Gondor’s secretpolice, the Cor Aran. It has many agent- and emissary-based characters.13 – Line of ElendinResponsible for maintaining the outposts of Gondor, The Line of Elendin is the third of the Usurper nations in Gondor, andcan move their turn map to aid them in this task.14 – Southron KingdomsThe Southron Kingdoms, whose lands spread below Gondor and Mordor, are safe in the knowledge that at least theirsouthern borders are safe from the possibility of attack.15 – HithlumThe five tribes of Easterling men boast fine cavalry armies.16 – Witch-realm of AngmarFrom the mountains of Angmar, the Witch-king wages war on Arnor with skilled mages and commanders.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Nations – An OverviewNeutralsThe Kin-strife is but a civil war within a single realm. Yet its ramifications are felt throughout Middle-earth, and from themountains of Angmar in the north to the Khand desert in the south, in one way or another, few remain unaffected by thestruggle for Gondor's crown. But whilst most choose, or are compelled, to take sides, some however seek to remainneutral, be it for political reasons as is the case for the Line of Tirkhor, or economical reasons as is the case for theDwarves. Yet as the Kin-strife escalates, it is becoming ever clearer that even these nations will surely have to declare forUsurper or Loyalist cause soon, else become overwhelmed by the war raging about them.21 – Line of TirkhorThe fourth nation in Gondor, the Line of Tirkhor have sought to remain neutral in the conflict, an attempt made possible bytheir strong mages, and the finest cavalry force in Gondor.22 – KhazadThe dwarves of Middle-earth, scattered like the Quendi throughout the land, are renowned for the strength of their cities’walls, defended with great military might.How to View the Nation DetailsBecause many of the elements of the nations can be altered as a result of nation set-up choices, the information givenabout each nation below must be seen as providing an idea of what that nation may look like, rather than an accuratedescription of the nation at game start.In most cases, the information given is the basic starting information, before any nation set-up choices have been made,or improvements purchased. Two important exceptions to this are as follows:The Special Nation Abilities shown are those that can be chosen during nation set-up. A nation will not start with theseabilities unless they are purchased during set-up.Some nations can choose to purchase extra characters during set-up. These characters are shown in italics on thecharacter list. As with the Special Nation Abilities, a nation will not start with these extra characters unless they arepurchased during set-up.Characters of Note are not necessarily the most powerful of the nation’s characters, though this is often the case. Rather,they are those that featured most prominently in the Kin-strife, and are mentioned here both to provide a better idea of thenations, and to facilitate role-playing.Climate Terrain Modifier tables for each nation have been collated in the appendices rather than divided among the nationdetails, to allow more easy comparison between them.Finally, for some nations, names and descriptions of minor characters, that are not starting characters for that nation,have been given. We have included these so that, if you wish, you can to create the same characters that were activeduring the Kin-strife, and described by Tolkien and ICE.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – #1 – Line of EldacarBackground"But is it?" Eldacar muttered. "Or is it just foolish pride?"#1 – Line of Eldacar"Eh?" Started out of his own reverie, Vidurafin looked up from the fire's hypnotic dance to where Eldacar sat opposite him."Did you speak?"Eldacar was silent for a long moment. "I was wondering. For close on ten years I've worked to regain the throne. Liveshave been lost, and countless more men will die in the battles ahead. Always I tell myself that the cause is just, thatCastamir is not fit to sit upon the throne of Gondor. But what if I am fooling myself? What if it is just pride that drives me,and the desire for power? After all, the blood of the Dunedain runs weaker in my veins than Castamir – perhaps he shouldbe allowed to rule?"Vidurafin sighed. "If I had a coin for every time I've heard you question yourself..."Despite himself, Eldacar smiled. "Then we'd be able to buy our victory. I know, I know. But still–""But still you continue to torture yourself. And it is proper that you do so – a leader who does not doubt, who does notconsider the cost of what he is doing, has no right to rule. So let me ask you: do you think that Castamir counts the deadwhose lives bought him the throne? Do you think he suffers nightmares and feels guilt over his actions? No. And that iswhy he is not worthy of sitting on the throne, and that is why you must do what you do."Eldacar nodded."There is truth in what you say, I know it. And yet what is done is done. My actions will not restore those who died in thewar to life, all they will do is add to the tally of lives lost. So is it not better to leave him the throne even if, as you say, Imight rule the more wisely, if so doing will save lives? Who am I to decide to send thousands to their deaths?""You're right." Emerging from the shadows, Vidustain joined the conversation.Eldacar, rousing himself at the sight of his friend, grinned. "Why, thank you for your vote of confidence. Shouldn't you beon patrol in the Brown lands, making yourself useful for a change?"Vidustain shrugged, settling himself by the fire. "The morning is soon enough to set off. But I meant what I said. You areright. It is not your place to decide whether or not we should fight this war."Eldacar frowned. "I had thought you spoke in jest. After all, have I not heard you speak on many occasion of the timewhen you and I will ride in victory through the gates of Osgiliath? Do you now doubt this cause is true? If so, I urge you tospeak of it, and freely."Vidustain waved his hand in dismissal. "No, no, you misunderstand me. When I say that it is not your place to decidewhether to fight, I do not mean that we should not, but rather that the decision is not yours to make. Was never yours tomake."Vidurafin nodded. "My son speaks wisdom. For a change." He ducked as Vidustain flung a chicken bone his way. "Youalways speak as if this war is bought about at your bidding. But ask the rebels who took back Minas Ithil who they fight for,and it won't be your name they mention. They fight for their families and their friends held captive, or who are forced towork more as slaves than free men in the fields and in the garrisons. They fight for their homes, and for their freedom. Orask the men of Rhovanion why they support you, and the answer will be as mine, that without a Gondor they can trust, ourlands will ever be threatened."No, the decision to go to war is not yours. War will come whether you wish it or not. Your part is to be all that they expectyou to be, and to shoulder the burden of doubt that they need not bear it themselves."Version 1.00 #1 – Line of Eldacar 001

Kin-strife – #1 – Line of EldacarFor a moment the silence was broken only by the soft crackle of the fire. Then Vidustain gave Eldacar's shoulder a push."So. Are we done soul-searching for tonight?"Eldacar smiled, nodded."Good," Vidustain said. "Then I propose a toast. To next year in Osgiliath."Eldacar and Vidurafin raised their mugs. "To Osgiliath."Led by Eldacar, rightful heir to the throne of Gondor, the Line of Eldacar is a nation in exile. Given sanctuary by the peopleRhovanion, Eldacar's family reside in Buhr Widu, a town whose location and even name is a secret the Rhovanion guardwith their lives, so that even the Cor Aran have, so far, been unable to determine its location. A fact upon which Eldacar'slife has long depended. However, whilst initially his position was a perilous one, the years since his enforced exile haveseen those who fled with him establish several new villages and even towns in the fertile lands of Rhovanion, and alsoraise armies of increasing size. Meanwhile, grown bold by the prospect of Eldacar's imminent return, the three watchpostsalong the Dagorlad road of Romenost, Thorontir and Warfinger have openly proclaimed themselves loyal to him.Now, with Minas Ithil falling to the Rebels of Ered Lithui, his own son journeying south to take command of the city, andwith the might of the Rhovanion behind him, Eldacar believes himself, finally, to be in a position to retake the throne ofGondor. And yet even so, he is more than aware of just how perilous his position is, and to the extent that he must rely onthe support of others, both the Rhovanions and the Rebels of Ered Lithui. Without them, he is but a man; with them, hemight once again be King of Gondor.General InformationStarting Gold49,600.CapitalBuhr Widu (Located at 3012)Characters of Note Eldacar the Once and Future King.

Kin-strife – #2 – Rebels of Ered LithuiBackground#2 – Rebels of Ered LithuiFlanked by an honour guard whose mounts moved with heads held high, Prince Aldarmir, son of Eldacar, entered the cityof Minas Ithil. Flags caught in the breeze, emblems of a dozen noble lines, many tattered, yet all proud in the morning air.Sunlight reflected from the burnished armour and polished swords of soldiers who stood atop the battlements and turrets,whilst, lining the street four and five deep, the people of the city roared their approval. The air filled with petals tossed fromwindows, Aldarmir rode as if through a dream, hand raised in acknowledgement of their welcome.Coming to a halt at the end of the central avenue, he dismounted to greet the man who made his way down the palacesteps. Spurning the uniform of a soldier and the dress of nobility both, he was adorned instead in stained leather armour,with a crude yet clearly well-used sword hanging without scabbard from his side. Cheeks unshaven, his face was linedand weather-worn, though he moved with the strength of a young man. For a long moment the two men stared at oneanother, and the crowd fell silent. Then, with slow deliberation, Bregor, leader of the rebels who had claimed Minas Ithil forEldacar, lowered himself to one knee, acknowledging his prince.Drawing his sword, Aldarmir placed the flat of its length first on Bregor's left shoulder, then on his right, before bidding himrise as Knight of Gondor. And the crowd's cheers were renewed as Bregor stood and accepted Aldarmir's outstretchedhand, so that the words he murmured to Aldarmir as he pulled him close were lost to all but the prince."The people love you, princeling. And for that, we need you. But this is my city, and these are my people. We fought forfreedom, not to replace one oppressive rule with another. So you will be our puppet. You will do what we say, and you willdo it when we say. Because we'll be watching you, watching close. And if you don't learn your place, well, you are not theonly one with Dunedain blood in your veins, and if this war has taught us anything, it is that noble blood stains the groundas easily as that of a commoner. We are at the dawn of new age, an age of freedom, an age of power for the people. It iswe who will return you and your family to the throne, and your debt will be to us. Learn that, and learn that well, and we'llget along just fine."Now, smile for the people. My lord."Of the people of Gondor, the vast majority remained when Castamir took the throne. Some, however, fled north withEldacar, whilst others yet moved east, carving first camps then towns and forts in the mountains of Mordor. At first theywere small in number, but as the years passed and discontent over Castamir's rulership grew, more and more slippedaway to the rebel strongholds. The Cor Aran, aware of the growing danger the rebels presented, especially should theyestablish links with Eldacar, sent assassins. But the loyalty of those close to the rebels ensured that few of the Cor Aranmanaged even to get near to the strongholds, and those who did inevitably perished, either on the harsh mountains or atthe hands of the Rebel scouts. Castamir was urged to send troops to deal with the Rebels, but by then rumours ofEldacar's return were rife, and he had neither the time nor the men to deal with them. And in truth, perhaps heunderestimated their strength, their support, and determination. Something that was to cost him dear when, even asEldacar approached from the north, Minas Ithil itself fell to the Rebels.General InformationStarting Gold13,920.CapitalMinas Aglar (Located at 3521)Characters of Note Bregor, the leader of the rebels.

Kin-strife – #3 – RhovanionBackground#3 –RhovanionVidurafin stood in the eaves of the great forest. Dusk was settling on the trees, and in the fading half-light bats dancedand swooped, their cries almost beyond the range of his hearing, though he seemed to recall that in his youth they hadbeen clearer by far. He had always enjoyed this time of the evening, when the duties of day gave way to the quiet of night,when, throughout the forest and the plains beyond, fires of the villages and camps spread to mirror the stars, his landdelineated and given form. Had always enjoyed the play of the bats, and soft sounds of the creatures of the night as theystirred in the undergrowth.Yet now he found himself ill at ease, the darkness seeming no longer a comfort but instead almost threatening. The worldwas changing, that he knew, as did any with eyes to see and wit to understand. And it seemed that the land itself was alsorestless. Almost daily, the Greenwood gave way yet further to the Mirkwood, as the influence of the Necromancer and hisservants spread. Unnatural creatures lurked in shadows and took wing on the night, creatures that even his best menfeared, whilst the elves were seen but rarely, slowly retreating, giving up their hold on the forest.And it was not just the Greenwood. On the plains, the scouts of the Hithlum were seen with increasing frequency. Roadsthat were once open were now only travelled by those with great need, and then under guard. And to the west, the fertilelands of the Great River seemed to take on the chill of autumn earlier with each passing year, the dark shadows of theMisty Mountains reaching out across the land.Then, of course, to the south there was Gondor.Over the centuries, the Rhovanions’ relationship with the men of Gondor had oft-times shifted, sometimes the oneignoring the other, sometimes trading, sometimes even warily hostile. But in recent centuries, it had seemed that relationshad never been more favourable. Indeed, his own forefathers had secured alliance with the Lords of Gondor, an alliancesealed in marriage and in blood. And yet now, that very alliance had brought him to the brink of war with Gondor, so thateven as he stood watching the dusk, his men marched south in support of Eldacar.Was there anything he could have done differently? Surely he could not have refused Eldacar refuge when Castamir hadtaken Osgiliath. Then, just as surely, he could not then have refused to aid and defend him, bound as they were by bloodand by alliance. And how could he not later have pledged further support to see him restored to the throne? No, there wasnothing in his actions that he would have altered, could have altered. War, it seemed, was fated. And, if he knew the landand what it had to tell of the future, he feared that the Kin-strife was but the beginning. That before this was over the worldwould be reshaped, reforged either by the courage of man or the darkness of evil. Yet that was not his to worry about. Tohim was fallen but one task, to place Eldacar upon the throne once more, whilst ensuring that his own people wereprotected. So the fates had decreed. And so it would be.Ever since, in 1248, King Minalcar of Gondor sent aid to the Rhovanions to help in driving back the latest Hithlumincursion, the men of Rhovanion have been staunch allies of Gondor. An alliance further cemented first by the marriage ofVidumavi, daughter of the King of Rhovanion, to Valacar, son of the King of Gondor, then still further when their unionproduced Eldacar, heir to the throne of Gondor. When Castamir's rebellion succeeded in overthrowing Eldacar, then, itwas only natural that Rhovanion provide the exiled king with shelter and protection. And only natural, too, that they shouldaid him yet further now, in his attempt to re-take the throne. So that whilst the latest Hithlum incursion has forced KingVidurafin to divide his attention between Gondor and the east, still, when Eldacar marches on Gondor, he will not bealone.Version 1.00 #3 – Rhovanion 001

Kin-strife – #4 – HorselordsBackground"My Lord!"#4 – HorselordsBreathless, Eolad, dusty from hard riding, reigned in his lathered mount before Vidustain.Tossing him a flask, Vidustain bid him drink. Gulping down mouthfuls of water, Eolad emptied the rest over his headbefore, somewhat calmer, he began again."My Lord, we have found the remains of a camp-fire on the western bank of the Redwater. And there are tracks, leadingnot east but west."Vidustain frowned. "How many?""Not more than a dozen. All on horseback, but without spare mounts, unless I miss my guess."Vidustain blew out his held breath in relief. It was not the army he had feared. But if it were a scouting party, the Hithlumwere growing bold to venture beyond the river. And if it were the reconnaissance for a coming army, then even more vitalthat they did not live to re-cross the river and bring back their report. Calling for Falodan he bid him instruct the unit toprepare to ride, before looking to Eolad."I need you to lead us to the scent. Have you strength enough to ride more this day?"Eolad grinned. "If there is a chance my spear can taste Easterling flesh, I would ride another ten without rest."Vidustain returned his smile. "Let us hope that will not be necessary. Take for yourself a new mount, and be ready to ridewithin the hour."The tracks had lead west and then turned north, perhaps to complete a circular journey. But, the riders slowed throughneed for caution, their tracks became rapidly fresher, and even as the sun was doused by the land, setting Mirkwoodaflame, their dust could be seen. Calling a halt, Vidustain bid his men take mounts that had not yet been ridden that day.Then, as they discarded travelling cloaks to reveal the shining armour and emblems of Rhovanion, he placed his horn tohis lips, and its bright cry rang out across the plains as the Rhovanion charged.The battle was scarce worthy of such a name. The Hithlum were equipped for scouting not battle, and their mountsalready weary. And whilst they turned and fought, they could not hope to stand against the charge of the Rhovanion.Vidustain himself bought the last from his mount, and, moving to stand over him where he lay, pressed the point of hissword to the man's neck."If you value your life, you will tell us your business here," he growled. "Speak, and I will spare you. Remain silent, andyour body will be food for the crows."The Hithlum opened his mouth as if to speak. But then, sticking out his tongue, he bit down hard with teeth filed tosharpened points. Mouth filled with blood, with a cry of pain and defiance he spat his severed tongue at Vidustain.Almost wearily, Vidustain pressed down with his sword, ending the Hithlum's life. Whatever was to be learned, it was notto be learned from this man. But one thing was certain: the Hithlums' forays were growing more frequent and more bold.The wind carried a scent of war that would surely not be long in coming. And even as he longed for the chance of glory itoffered, so he could not help but also be afraid, not of death but of failure, with the knowledge that his was theresponsibility for keeping the Easterlings from his people’s homes resting as a heavy weight on his shoulders.Leaving the fallen Hithlum for the birds, Vidustain led his men south and west, to take report back to his father.Version 1.00 #4 – Horselords 001

A master of horses, Vidustain has charge of Rhovanion's cavalry, and to him falls the task of patrollingthe vast plains of southern and eastern Rhovanion. With attack imminent from the Hithlum, and Castamir hardly likely tosit and wait for Eldacar to advance into Gondor, it seems likely that his cavalry will be hard-stretched, forced to guardagainst invasion from both south and east.

Kin-strife – #5 – Kingdom of ArnorBackground#5 – Kingdom of ArnorAs the shadows lengthened in the hall of Fornost, Araphor sat in solitude on the throne at its head. Torches had been lit,yet tonight they seemed to do little to dispel the gloom, accentuating rather than banishing the darkness. In his hands, theSceptre of Annuminas, which he twisted slowly, allowing the flickering light to dance on its bejewelled head.How many Kings had held the Sceptre, and how great had been their majesty? His forefathers had ruled not just afragmented realm but one of the most powerful kingdoms in Middle-earth, one of the two centres of the Numenoreanpeople in Exile. The reach of their arm had stretched even from the Misty Mountains to the western ocean, from Forodrethto the river Isen, and only Gondor was comparable in glory and might.But the Kingdom of Arnor had been sundered, split apart by feuding princes. And Araphor supposed he should considerhimself fortunate that history would not cast him as one of those responsible for that act. Yet still, each of the Princes’realms, of Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur, had been great in itself.Now, however Cardolan was a dark and barren land, the forces of the Witch-king having laid it to waste and to ruin, andscattered those who had dwelt there. And if Cardolan was no more than a memory, Rhudaur was something worse, aland in thrall to Angmar, its cities and holds in the hands of servants of darkness. Only the lands of Arthedain remained ofArnor. And at such a time came the news that still rang in his ears, burned in his mind. The forces of the Witch-king wereabroad once more. Barely two decades after his father, with aid of the Quendi, had finally succeeded in staunching theBlack Tide, the forces of darkness had risen again.And where now the strength to oppose them? Where now the courage to do what had to be done? His forces, such aswere left to him, were spread thin across the land, whilst those who remained of noble blood, in whose veins ran still thesong of the Dunedain, were too few in number by far. He had hoped, at least, to rely on the support of Gondor. But havingalmost torn itself apart in needless civil war, now, when he needed it the most, Castamir had withdrawn Gondor's support,withdrawn the men and fleets that had patrolled the rivers of Gwathla and Mitheithel. Such an act could not, Araphorknew, be born of coincidence alone, and did much to confirm the dark rumours surrounding both Castamir's rise to powerand the nature of the allies who had lifted him to the throne. But such bitter knowledge did little other than to set anotherenemy against him.If there was hope, then he did not see it. But if this was to be the end of the Realm of Arnor, and if it was fated that his bename recorded as the last King of his people, then so be it. What would not be said, he vowed, was that he had failed inhis final duty, or was to have been wanting in battle. Greater hands than his, perhaps, had held the Sceptre before him.But still, the blood of the Dunedain ran rich in his veins, and whilst strength yet remained him, he would show himselfworthy of his ancestry. Rising to his feet, he called for messengers to take word to the princes of the land. Evil stirredagain in the east. And when it came forth, they would be ready to stand against it. By the blood of the Dunedain, he sworethat it would be so.In the year 857 of the Third Age, Arnor had been split by its feuding Princes into Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur. Then,in 1407, the Witch King invasion effectively destroyed both Cardolan and Rhudaur. The Hill Men of Rhudaur had sidedwith the Witch-king, and those few Dunedain in Rhudaur loyal to the cause of Arnor fled to Arthedain, whilst Cardolan wassimply overwhelmed. Indeed, only the aid of the Elves of Lindon and Rivendell had enabled Arthedain to turn the BlackTide.So it is that the year 1446 sees Rhudaur in the hands of the Witch-king, Cardolan a ravaged and destroyed land, virtuallyunpeopled, and only Arthedain remaining. Still, whilst Arthedain might only be a shadow of the glory that was the realm ofArnor, nevertheless the blood of the Dunedain still runs pure in the hearts of its royal line. And one thing may be countedon: that so long as that line remains, the Witch-king will never take Arnor.Version 1.00 #5 – Kingdom of Arnor 001

Kin-strife – #6 – QuendiBackground#6 – Quendi"It has been long since Mithrandir came to Rivendell," Elrond said, rising to greet the old wizard. "Yet whilst I welcomeyou, my heart tells me that you are not here to enjoy the music of the Hall of Fire."Gandalf inclined his head. "Ever is the reputation of Elrond's insight well deserved," he observed. "Tell me; what do youknow of the Kin-strife?"Elrond raised an eyebrow. "The squabbling of the men of Gondor? I know but little, and pay such news as does reach mescant heed. Who rules in the south is but of passing interest to me.""I fear you underestimate the importance of such events," Gandalf said. "In fact, I would risk the opinion that it should beof great interest to you.”Elrond frowned. "Why so? Since Isildur proved himself too weak to do what should have been done, few of their kind haveshown any greater strength of will. For as long as they keep the watch on Mordor, they serve their purpose. Why should Icare which of them holds the throne?"Gandalf sighed. "Would that the Kin-strife were but the squabbling of men that you describe it to be. But I fear darkerforces are involved than is readily apparent. And that Sauron himself seeks to twist the conflict to his own end."At the mention of the Dark Lord, the air in Elrond's hall seemed suddenly chill, a flurry of wind sending autumn's leavesscurrying across the floor. "Do not speak that name lightly," Elrond counselled."I do not," Gandalf countered. "For consider what is known. The men of the south, who support Castamir, are governed byone I have reason to believe is a servant of Adunaphel. The one who calls himself Horselord and who fires the men of theeast to battle is surely none other than Uvatha. And can it be coincidence that the Witch-king of Angmar chooses this timeto renew his assault on Arnor, so soon after he was driven back? No, I think not. Three Nazgul are clearly involved in thisaffair, and those are only the ones whose influence I have managed to ascertain. The times are darker than we thought,and I fear that before this is done, your squabbling of men will have plunged the entire land into conflict."Elrond was long silent. Then, finally, he sighed. "I will think on your words, Mithrandir. Never before has your counselproven false, and though I hope this occasion will see you proven wrong, I feel and fear in my heart that you have spokentrue. I would invite you to rest here, yet I fancy you have others to visit?"Gandalf nodded."Then you will, I hope, bear to Galadriel my wishes."Gandalf smiled grimly. "I will indeed. Though if my fears are shown to be correct, I do not doubt but that you and she willmeet again ere long."He pulled his hat more firmly onto his head, and made as if to leave. "Think well, but do not think for too long, Half-Elven."Elrond nodded. "As you say. Farewell, Grey Wanderer."The first people of Arda, the relationships that bind and separate the Quendi are ancient and convoluted. Yet all share incommon a hatred of Sauron, born of dark memories that recall their battles with his master, the Ancient Enemy, battleswhich had shaped and reshaped even the land itself. Few in number, and with virtually no armies, nevertheless theQuendi are amongst the most powerful mages in Middle-earth, whilst the secrets of their towns and cities have enabledthem to endure the strife of the passing centuries. It may be with reluctance that they find themselves forced now tointervene in the affairs of men once more, but for as long as Sauron's dark presence blights the land, so they will standagainst him.Version 1.00 #6 – Quendi 001

Kin-strife – #11 – Line of CastamirBackground#11 – Line of Castamir"I don't want to hear any of your excuses," Castamir stated shortly, leaning forwards on his throne. "Just make sure themen are raised and armed within a ten day.""But my Lord!" the captain kneeling before him protested. "The townsfolk are restless as it is. None will come forwardwillingly, and if we are forced to resort to a draft, I fear for the–"Rising swiftly, Castamir lashed out with his boot, catching the captain in the head. Falling, for a moment the captainthought to rise, before, thinking better of the instinct, remaining prone. Castamir knelt beside him, pulling his head up bythe hair."Perhaps I did not make myself clear. Perhaps my order was in some way misunderstood as a suggestion. So allow me torepeat myself. You will return to Hyarpende, and you will raise a further five hundred men, who will march north to MinasAnor by the end of this month. You will do this, or I will have your head. Do I make myself clear?"The captain nodded."I beg your pardon?" Castamir questioned."Yes my Lord," the captain managed.Castamir smiled, letting the captain's head fall back to the floor."That is better. Now go."As the captain, bowing, took his leave, a figure moved from the side of the throne."I am not sure that was wise," Morlaen murmured."Wise?" Castamir turned on his uncle. "Eldacar marches on us with the might of Rhovanion behind them, Minas Ithil fallsto rebels, and you question the wisdom of raising more troops?""I do not question the need, my Lord," Morlaen said; "I question your method. Did the rebellion at Minas Ithil teach younothing? You act as if Gondor is conquered territory, the people to be ordered to obey. But the crown you wear is yours byright, and the people are in your charge. You might ask much of them, and they will likely do as you wish. But demand it ofthem, and Minas Ithil may not be the only city to rise against you.""If the crown is mine, then the people are mine also," Castamir replied shortly. "They are to be used as I see fit, even as Iwould a cup or a vessel.""A cup will not turn against you if you treat it ill, my Lord. But your people will. And unless you accept that, I fear that youwill not hold the throne long. We can debate philosophy and the duties of a ruler all day, but the plain fact of the matter isthat at present you do not have enough troops even to deal with Minas Ithil, let alone think to put down another rebellion,should it arise. Like it or not, you are reliant on the people, and if you anger them further, we cannot win this war."Castamir scowled. But despite his anger, he knew that Morlaen was right. And whilst he knew himself to be many things,a fool was not one of them. Calling for a messenger, Castamir told him to take word to the captain that he was authorisedto offer two months' wages in gold as incentive to any who would sign up. Then, turning to Morlaen, he raised an eyebrow."There. Satisfied?"Morlaen, smiling, bowed his head.Version 1.00 #11 – Line of Castamir 001

Kin-strife – #11 – Line of CastamirLead by the Castamir the Usurper, King of Gondor, the Line of Castamir is ostensibly the most powerful and influential ofthe Usurpers, with all of Gondor at their command. And yet in truth, Castamir’s reign is a fragile one. More than just afigurehead, nevertheless he is but one of the Lords of Gondor. Both of his father’s brothers, Morlaen and Elendin, wieldgreat influence, whilst the Southron Kingdoms, providing as they do the resources and funds upon which Castamir'scampaign is waged, are a powerful voice in the realm. As such, then, it is vital that Castamir maintain good relations bothwith his uncles and the Southron Kingdoms, if Eldacar is to be repelled and his hold on the Crown of Gondor secured.General InformationStarting Gold54,480.CapitalPelargir (Located at 2927)Characters of Note Castamir the Usurper, King of Gondor.

Kin-strife – #12 – Line of MorlaenBackground"He's done what?!"#12 – Line of MorlaenMorlaen cursed under his breath. He had thought that even Calimon could mange to oversee the prison camp that wasOsgiliath. How hard a task could it be? And surely one suited to his son's unique combination of casual cruelty andunparalleled ability to stir up resentment. Sighing, he looked back down at the parchment, reading the details again.It was a formal letter of complaint, intercepted by the Cor Aran en route to the courts, bringing charges of improperconduct against Lord Calimon. Despite himself, Morlaen could not help but snort in amusement. Years of civil war duringwhich kin slew kin and brother betrayed brother, yet still the nobility were concerned with matters of proper conduct. Still,as improper conduct went, it was fairly impressive, even by Calimon's standards. According to the letter, the LordReanimor, together with his wife and daughter, had paid a visit to Osgiliath, apparently to satisfy themselves as to theconditions of one of their cousins held there. Whilst Lord Reanimor had been speaking with his cousin, Calimon had kindlyoffered to entertain the ladies in his chambers. Where, allegedly, he had then sought to impose himself upon firstdaughter and then mother, in return for promises that he would ensure their cousin was well cared for.Whether or not the ladies thought his offer a fair one was not recorded, for, before Calimon had been able to ply them withmore than a goblet or two of wine, Reanimor had returned in time to see rather more than he would have liked. Gatheringhis wife and daughter, he had stormed from the palace, and was now making formal complaint, demanding that Calimonbe removed from office.In silence, Morlaen handed the letter to Caramir. Who, raising an eyebrow at its contents, looked to his father as hehanded it back."If I were you, I should be tempted to let him suffer. It is more than past time he learned that actions have consequences."Morlaen sighed. "Perhaps you are right. And yet, ask yourself what the consequences would then be for our family.Osgiliath is but a trophy, a symbol, yet still it is a powerful and potent one, and I would not see its Stewardship leave ourline. Calimon is a fool, but my blood runs through his veins, and as such he is a useful fool. No, this affair must not bemade common knowledge. Reanimor's estate is near Pelagir...I believe you are expected at court there on the morrow?"Caramir nodded."Then I think that perhaps you should pay Lord Reanimor a visit. Accidents do happen, and, after all, these are mostuncertain times."Caramir smiled, fingering the dagger at his belt. "Indeed. So uncertain, in fact, that I would not be surprised were his wifeand daughter to suffer the same accident."Morlaen allowed the letter to play over the flame of a candle until it took light.“It is of great comfort to me that one of my sons inherited the wit the other lacks. Now go. It seems that I have a letter ofcondolence to write to Reanimor’s next of kin.”As the elder of Castamir's uncles, Lord Morlaen is the oldest living member of the Line of Calimehtar, and hugelyinfluential in the royal circles of Gondor. Without Morlaen’s support, Castamir would not have been able to take the throne,a fact of which Castamir is well aware, so that Morlaen's counsel is valued most highly by the King. In addition, Morlaen'seldest son, Caramir, is head of the Cor Aran, Gondor's network of secret police, whose activities even the King is notalways aware. So that whilst lacking in both martial presence and lands, the Line of Morlaen is not a force to be lightlydismissed.Version 1.00 #12 – Line of Morlaen 001

Kin-strife – #13 – Line of ElendinBackground#13 – Line of ElendinLooking down from the battlements of Calmirie, the Lord Elendin watched his men train on the grasslands below. One unitmoved and wheeled in response to Alandur's barked orders, which were clearly audible on the crisp morning air. Otherssparred, the harsh ring of steel on steel welcome as any song to Elendin's ears, familiar as the creaking of his own jointsas he flexed his muscles against the cold. The men were well-trained, as capable as any in the realm. Which was, heconsidered, as well, given the storm clouds of war that loomed dark on the horizon. And yet, as he watched, he knewthere was something lacking. There was none of the sense of urgency that the eve of war usually brought, no sense ofspirit, if that was the right word. They were good men, and he knew that each, to a man, would spend his life withouthesitation if so commanded. It was not a question of loyalty. But still, when he looked down he saw no enthusiasm, oreven fear, but merely...merely what? Resignation? No, not exactly, for he had seen men who had given up hope, and thiswas not the same. Uncertainty? Perhaps, yet that was to be expected, for what was war if not the very essence ofuncertainty? Weariness? Yes, in part, but if so, that was but a symptom, not the cause. So what, then? A lack ofconviction. Yes, that was it. They moved as if by rote, the actions of men who followed orders not because they believedin them, but because that was what they did.And who could blame them? The gods knew, Elendin reflected, that he was not sure himself that his nephew's claim tothe throne was valid. Certainly it had seemed so, when the half-blood Eldacar was seeking to displace the old rulers andchange the old ways. But what had the years of struggle bought? Only greater uncertainty, greater unrest. And if he feltthat way, it was no surprise that the men, with nothing to gain, felt the same doubt. There was not a man on thegrasslands below, Elendin knew, who had not lost family or friends in the Kin-strife, and, most likely, not a man who hadnot shed the blood of another who in past times he would have called ally.But that was all beside the point. It was not his place, nor theirs, to question the events that had been set in motion. Allthey had to do was to play their part, and remain true to the side fate had placed them on.Making his way down the stairs, Elendin strode out onto the field. Catching his son's eye, he waited as Alandur wheeledthem into line before him, whilst those sparring also moved to take up their positions. For a moment Elendin paused,enjoying the sense of their attention upon him. Then, walking slowly up the line, he addressed his men."We stand on the eve of war. The so-called Loyalists march on Gondor, and it falls to us to defend her lands. Our lands.And yet this is no usual war, and they no usual enemy. For they are not orcs or creatures of darkness, but men, men ofGondor, men like us. Men who we once knew as allies, and as friends. And this makes facing them a hard task. Indeed, Iwould rather face a dozen hill trolls than a unit of men I once trained, once knew, once loved."Yet like it or not, that is the task now set before us. Now I know that some of you wonder why we are fighting this war.Some of you may even question whether we should be fighting this war. And that is understandable. But for better or forworse this war is upon us, and it is not our place to question its wisdom. We are not diplomats, or politicians. Ours is notthe power to influence and shape such decisions, and so ours should not be the burden of questioning their wisdom Wedo not rule. We fight. Our honour, our glory, is not to be found in the cause of what we are ordered to do, but in the act ofbattle itself."I do not ask you to hate those we must face. For they, like us, simply do their duty to their King. But I do ask you to takepride in your stand against them. Not for the reasons we are bid to do so by politicians, not for Castamir or for the purity ofour rulers' bloodlines, but for the honour of the stand itself. We are soldiers, warriors. Let us take pride in that, and let usplace our faith and our dignity in that. So that whatever the future holds, it will never be said that we did not play our partin it with honour. Fear, if you will, for that is only natural. But do not doubt that what we do is right, for if we fight withhonour and courage, then it cannot be otherwise. Now rest, for tomorrow we march to glory."Their cheers ringing in his ears, Elendin watched them file past him into the city. And, as he returned their salutes, he onlywished that he believed his own words.Version 1.00#13 – Line of Elendin001

Kin-strife – #13 – Line of ElendinAt a first glance, the Line of Elendin might appear to be the weakest of the three royal Lines of Calimehtar, without themight of the Line of Castamir or the influence of the Line of Morlaen. Yet whilst it is true that in some respects theyoungest of Castamir's uncles is also the one most lacking in power, Elendin is nevertheless the most popular with thepeople of Gondor. A military officer of long-standing, he is known for both his prowess as a commander and his fairnessas a leader. Those loyal to the Line of Elendin are responsible for ruling many of the further-flung outposts of Gondor,from Lond Galen in the west to Lond Angren and Calmirie in the north, and to the Havens of Umbar in the south. As such,a goodly proportion of the troops of Gondor are at his disposal. So that whilst his is potentially a nation at great risk ofattack from many directions, with the proper support of the Southron Kingdoms and the Lines of Gondor, the success orfailure of the Line of Elendin will surely prove crucial in the coming war.General InformationStarting Gold48,800.CapitalCaras Mirilond (Located at 2732)Characters of Note Elendin, youngest uncle of Castamir, and Lord of Harondor.

Kin-strife – #14 – Southron KingdomsBackground#14 – Southron Kingdoms"It was, my most noble and honoured Lords, through your wisdom and foresight to grant support when it was mostneeded, that Castamir was able to rise to the position he now enjoys. A position from which, during the past decade, hehas been able to reciprocate that support, so that you have enjoyed unhindered trade, a virtual monopoly on Harad goodssold to Gondor. And if I might have the temerity to point out to you that this trade most flourishes in the area of arms andarmour needed to sustain the very war he sought our financial backing for, well, I am sure you appreciate that irony asmuch as I."Zimrakhil paused, waiting patiently as his meaning gradually sunk in to the Southern Lords he addressed, a ripple of nodsand grins eventually passing round the chamber, before he continued."But now you find yourselves at a most critical juncture. For it is clear that Castamir's hold on the throne of Gondor is but atenuous one, and that without not only our continued support through supply of war goods, but also our activeparticipation in the battle for Gondor, he will surely fall. Now it is not impossible that, should Eldacar reclaim the throne, hewill grant us the same favourable trading conditions as Castamir has done. After all, he will have as much need of goodsas Castamir. But it is also not impossible, and, in my mind far more likely, that he will seek to forge new deals and tradingalliances that will, if not cut off your profit entirely, then certainly prove less advantageous than those you now enjoy."The choice then, as I see it, is this. You can wait to see who emerges victorious in the Kin-strife, and, risking nothingnow, risk losing all in the future should Eldacar take the throne. Or you can act in support of Castamir, risking much now,but with much more to be gained."Zimrakhil paused, ostensibly to give them time to consider the matter, though he knew as well as they, should they nothave been too proud to admit the fact, that they would do whatever he suggested. Still, deciding that they needed one lastpush in the right direction, he leaned forwards."Or, to put it another way, are you men of inaction or of action? Are you cowards, who will sit on the sidelines of historyand await the charity of the victors? Or are you men of courage, with strength and foresight enough to take hold of yourown destiny?"When, after the roars had died down, he withdrew from the chamber, it was with their unanimous support to back hispromise of aid to Castamir.In the privacy of his own rooms once more, Zimrakhil cast off his cloak, tired now that the adrenalin of the moment hadpassed. And then froze as he saw a darkly-robed figure rising from his couch. Tall, and with face and form hidden beneathblack silk, nevertheless the figure moved with a grace that was surely feminine, though none had ever dared discoverwhether this was in fact so. Falling to his knees before her, he pulled off his right glove to reveal a withered and skeletalhand, which he held to her in supplication, fearing the pain she might inflict even as he longed for it. Instead of the searingagony of her touch, however, came but her voice, soft as a whisper, the breath of the winter wind through dead branches."You have done well, my servant. Because of you, the harvest of war will reach south. We are pleased. Now, receive ourblessing."Reaching out, she touched her hand to his, and throwing his head back, Zimrakhil screamed in agony he counted it hishonour to feel, as his mind filled with the burning gaze of a lidless eye.Version 1.00 #14 – Southron Kingdoms 001

Kin-strife – #14 – Southron KingdomsWithout the support of the Southron Kingdoms, Castamir would never have succeeded in taking the throne of Gondor.And without their continued support, he will certainly not succeed in long holding it. The Confederacy of SouthronKingdoms is an alliance of the Warlords who rule the lands of Harondor, and are responsible for conducting andprotecting trade with the lands of Harad whose fruits Gondor enjoys. These Warlords were brought together by the handof the prophet Zimrakhil, who spoke out in support of the Usurper. Such support made sense for the Warlords, since in hisrole as Captain of the Ships Castamir had effectively ruled the ports of Pelargir and Umbar, with whom the SouthronKingdoms chiefly traded. The fact that Zimrakhil is High Priest and servant of the Nazgul Adunaphel is one not openlyknown amongst the Southron Kingdoms. But rumours of his dark allegiances abound and, since they only serve toincrease the fear and respect shown him, he does nothing to allay them. Meanwhile, the increasing popularity of the darkreligions amongst the Southron Kingdoms further strengthens Zimrakhil's – and thus Adunaphel's – hold over theSouthron Kindgoms, so that in truth it is the both of them, not the Warlords, who wield the true power within the Kingdoms.General InformationStarting Gold37,120.CapitalKas Shadoul (Located at 2734)Characters of Note Zimrakhil, servant and High Priest of Adunaphel.

Kin-strife – #15 – HithlumBackground#15 – HithlumThe night lay heavy across the desert, neither moon or star puncturing the sky. The only light was a distant glow of torchand camp-fire, a violent hue staining the horizon. As they approached, so figures took form from the darkness, silhouettedagainst the fires, ornately-sculpted helms and bristling armour giving them monstrous appearance, as of demons rippedfrom the night itself. Sounds, also, could be heard, the whinnying of their mounts, restless in the corrals, the soft ring ofarmour as the guards moved around the camp's perimeter, and the occasional burst of laughter, cruel and harsh.A guttural bark from the night immediately before them demanded they halt, and two guards stepped from the darkness toblock their path. Faces smeared with ash and blood, the guards seemed more devil than man, yet Ovag merely raised ahand in gesture of peace. "We have business with the Horseman."One of the two guards loomed close, so that Ovag could smell the scent of death upon his breath, could see the jaggededges of his teeth, filed to sharp points. For a moment the guard seemed to study him, before, with a shrug of dismissal,nodding. "You are expected, Easterling. Come."Gesturing for Ovag and his companion to proceed them, the guards turned towards the camp, others moving in thedarkness to take their place. A wooden palisade rose out of the night before them, and despite himself Ovag blanched atthe row of severed heads adorning the spikes, each mutilated, some missing ears, eyes or nose, some with runes carvedinto their flesh, others with pieces of sharpened wood piercing their greying flesh. Passing through an entrance in the wallabove which a head was pinned to the wood by a stake through its mouth, Kav Maklar leaned close to his lord."We should not have come here," he murmured. "To ally with such as these is not right."Ovag touched Kav's arm briefly by way of reassurance. "We need them," he replied. "We need them."Figures watched them as they passed, the women as fearsome in appearance as the men, scarred and tattooed, eyesglinting with amusement at the newcomers' discomfort. In the centre of the encampment was a black tent, ragged anddaubed with bloody sigils, and it was before this that they came to a halt. From within there came a sense of evil that wasalmost palpable, so that Ovag found himself gritting his teeth, fighting the urge to flee. And of a sudden, he knew that Kavwas right, that even the lands of Rhovanion were not worth such an alliance. But before he could turn, the flap of the tentstirred, and from it emerged a figure born of nightmare. Dressed in black armour, its large, winged helm was open, andyet even so, as Ovag stared into the helm’s depths, he could discern no features within the twisting shadows that dancedthere.He found himself held by the figure's gaze, a sense of ancient malice gripping his mind and his sanity. Probing fingersseemed to reach into his skull, tearing open his thoughts, laying bare his dreams and his fears. Then the figure laughed,and thus released, Ovag staggered backwards."I am the Horseman, King of the Variags," the figure spoke, voice grating like the twisting of a knife against bone. "Andyou, you are nothing, little man. But despite this, I will fight for you. We, the Variags of Khand, will journey north with you,and your cause will be our cause, your battles our battles."He leaned in close to Ovag, voice soft now, the caress of death. "And for now, I ask nothing in return. But you willremember our aid, and your debt to me, and so will your sons and the sons of your sons. And one day I will return to seethat debt repaid."He stood back, to cry out in a voice that rang throughout the camp. "Variags, we ride this night. And all who stand beforeus shall be harvested as corn before the scythe. To arms!"Throwing his head back he howled, a cry that was taken up by the Variags, and echoed by their dark mounts, so that thenight was rent as if by a thousand demons. Ovag shuddered, bitterly repenting of the urge that had bid him respond to theHorseman's invitation. What was done was done, and, with the Variags at their side, he knew that the Rhovanion couldnot stand against them. But what cost, he wondered, would the sons of his sons one day be called upon to pay?Version 1.00 #15 – Hithlum 001

Kin-strife – #15 – HithlumThroughout the Third Age, the Easterling tribes of the Sagath, Logath, Asdriags, Nuriags and Variags have sought towrest the lands of Rhovanion from the men who dwell there. And always they have been repelled, forced to remain in thelands east of the sea of Rhun. But now, with the forces of Rhovanion deployed against Gondor in support of Eldacar, andwith promise of both aid and – perhaps more important to them – acknowledgement by Castamir on behalf of Gondor thatthe lands of Rhovanion are rightfully theirs, they move against the Rhovanion with renewed confidence. Their diversityand scattered tribes are the Hithlums’ strength and weakness both. A strength, in that they have the capability to strikeinto Rhun, Khand or even Mordor with little warning. And a weakness in that their towns are scattered, and thus hard todefend. But whether or not they succeed in finally conquering the lands of the Rhovanion, it is certain that their struggle iscrucial to the outcome of the Kin-strife.General InformationStarting Gold27,928.CapitalLag Midor (Located at 4420)Characters of Note Ovag Ito, Commander of the Hithlum.

Kin-strife – #16 – Witch-realm of AngmarBackground#16 – Witch-realm of Angmar"What in the name of the gods is this?!"Face twisted in distaste, Maksaern spat out the lump of pale and gristled meat, wiping his mouth with the back of his handas the globule hissed and fried in the fire."Horse meat? I ain't eating no horse meat."One of his companions looked up from where he sat, stoically chewing on a lump from his own plate."You will if you don't want to starve. Leastways, unless you reckon you're hunter enough to find better fare in these partsin mid-winter."Maksaern rinsed his mouth out with a swallow from his mug, the bitter ale tasting little better than the meat, though atleast its burning warmth did something to ease the chill of the night."And that's another thing. Why the hell are we stuck out here with the breath of the Misties blowing down our backsanyway? We should be down in the hills, or, better yet, at home with wine and women.""We're here because this is where we were told to be," came the reply. "As well you know.""Yea? Well I'm sick of taking orders from some foul-smelling son of an orc. In fact, I've half a mind to–"A sudden blow knocked him off the log he was sitting on, sending him sprawling to the ground, face inches from the fire.Gasping, he thought to rise, but a grip of iron grasped hold of his head, pulling him up into the air, where he dangled,staring into the massive features of a troll. Fetid breath washing over him from a mouth twisted by a mass of broken andblackened teeth, he choked as baleful eyes the size of plates glared at him." 'Alf a mind to do what, human?" Rogrog rumbled.Maksearn opened his mouth to form a reply, but a twist of the troll's hand shook the breath from him."If you've 'alf a mind at all, you'll obey orders," Rogrog said. "An' it ain't 'orse meat, it's orc flesh." He grinned. "The lastone who thought he was too good to follow orders."Giving Maksearn one last shake, he dropped the man to the ground, where he lay, gasping for breath. Rogrog kicked himin the stomach for good measure."So. Are we goin' to be a good soldier an' follow orders?"Maksaern managed to nod."Good. Then get some rest. Tomorrow we march, tomorrow night we fight. An' after that, I reckon as we'll 'ave us someman flesh to feast on."Version 1.00 #16 – Witch-realm of Angmar 001

Kin-strife – #16 – Witch-realm of AngmarIn the year 1300 of the Third Age, even as the hobbits migrated across the Misty Mountains to settle in Eriador, so therecame to the northern lands another, darker, traveller. Murazor, the Witch-king, first among the Nazgul, founded Angmar inthe northern Misty Mountains, and from there gathered to him creatures of darkness with which to over-run and destroythe already fragmented Dunedain nations of Arthedain, Rhudaur and Cardolan, remnants of the once-great kingdom ofArnor.In 1409 the Witch-king made his move, his armies pouring down from the mountains. The Hill Men of Rhudaur, overawedby the power of the Witch-king, pledged allegiance to him, and those few Dunedain in Rhudaur who remained loyal to thecause of Arnor fled to Arthedain. Cardolan, on whom the attack was led by the Witch-king himself, was simplyoverwhelmed. And only the aid of the Elves of Lindon and Rivendell enabled Arthedain to finally turn the Black Tide.With the Witch-king's armies forced to retreat back into Rhudaur and the northern mountains, the men of Arthedainthought themselves safe. But, sensing the fragility of the Arthedain nation, Murazor worked fast to restore his armies,newly bolstered by the Hill-men of Rhudaur so that now, only two score years later, he prepares once more to drive thelast of the line of Dunedain from Arnor, and claim Eriador for his dark lord.General InformationStarting Gold60,560.CapitalCarn Dum (Located at 1804)Characters of Note Murazor, Witch-king of Angmar, a Nazgul.

Kin-strife – #21 – Line of TirkhorBackground#21 – Line of Tirkhor"I am, of course, most flattered by your offer," Lord Adrazor replied, handing his son-in-law a goblet of wine. "And it is notone that any man could lightly pass over. Yet I fear that even as I thank your father for the honour of its offering, I mustdecline, for the cost of the favour you ask in return is too great. I simply cannot commit my cavalry in support of yourcause, for it would place my own people and lands at risk."Prince Castaher sighed, turning the goblet in his hands and pretending to study its patterns before replying."Your response does not surprise me. In fact, I told my Lord Castamir that you would say exactly that. But come, I am nodiplomat. You can speak plain with me. And I would like to imagine you do not think me so foolish as to believe yourexcuse, that the release of a thousand horse for this favour would put your lands at risk. At least do me the honour ofspeaking openly what is known to us both. The fact of the matter is that you will not aid us because you will not actagainst the enemy Eldacar. Even now, even when he marches to attack Gondor herself, of whom you are one of hergreatest lords and so sworn to her defence, even now, you will not aid us."Adrazor gestured ambiguously. "Whom you call enemy, others might call rightful ruler. And what you call the defence ofGondor, some might consider its unlawful holding." Seeing Castaher's face darken, Adrazor raised a hand placatingly. "I,of course, am not one who would offer such opinion so rashly. After all, is my daughter not your wife, and are our familiesnot bound by marriage and by blood? But you asked me to speak plain, and so I speak now. Matters are not so clear asyou would like to make out, as well you know. Your father holds the throne, but that does not mean he will continue to doso, either with or without my aid. And if I support him and if he falls, what then? My first duty is to my people. And when Isay that sending the cavalry you ask for puts them at risk, it is not from invasion in the troops' absence, but of retributionshould Castamir nevertheless fall."Castaher leaned close, pretence of civility falling away. "Well, father-in-law, since we are now speaking to one anotherplainly, let me tell you this in return. You think to avoid choosing a side in this. But there may come a time when those whoare not allied with us will be considered against us. And should such a time come, you may regret not having given us aidwhen we asked for it."Adrazor nodded. "Perhaps. But that time is not yet now, I think. And so my decision stands. Please relate to your fatherthat I am honoured by his offer, but fear that, nevertheless, I must refuse."Reaching out, he took the goblet from Castaher's hands. "And now, I am sure that a person of your importance must havemany demands upon them, so I must not be so inconsiderate as to take up any more of your valuable time. But please,know that my palace is your palace, and I am always honoured by your presence. Good day."A tangled web of allegiances, marriages and friendships binds the Line of Tirkhor together, even as individual desires,political ambition and external pressures threaten to tear it apart. The line consists of the three offspring of Tirkhor andtheir families, loosely ruled by the word of the eldest son of Tirkhor, Adrazor, Prince of Belfalas, a small Fief in WesternGondor between the rivers Ringlo and Gilrain. Of the other issue of Tirkhor, the youngest son Edrahil and his own sonsare the Seers of Gondor, guardians of the three Palantirs, whilst Tirkhor's daughter, Miriel, is married to Maeglin ofMorthond, another Fiefdom of Gondor, situated to the North of Belfalas.The Line of Tirkhor, then, might be seen to consist of two inconsequential Fiefs and a family of Seers. So it is notimmediately obvious either why or how the Line has managed to remain neutral throughout over a decade of civil war inGondor.The reasons lie in the tapestry of interwoven political and blood ties that bind the Line of Tirkhor into the fabric of Gondorroyal society. Lothriel, daughter of Adrazor, is married to Castamir's son, whilst the Line of Tirkhor has long held vows offaith to the Line of Minalcar, and so now to Valacar.Version 1.00 #21 – Line of Tirkhor 001

Kin-strife – #21 – Line of TirkhorThese ties both enable Prince Adrazor to avoid claiming for either faction, and also mean that each is unwilling to pressthe matter, else risk the Prince favouring the other. In addition, the rulers of Gondor have ever been forced to rely on theSeers of Tirkhor in order to wield the power of the Palantirs, so that Castamir is unwilling to completely cut himself off fromthe possibility of utilising the information they provide. Though the fact that, unwilling to risk the palantirs coming to harmin the strife, the Seers have recently removed both themselves and the Palantirs from Orthanc, Minas Anor and Minas Ithilto a hidden location where they might be kept safe, has hardly served to foster good will between Tirkhor and Castamir.But perhaps most importantly of all, Prince Adrazor has at his command the only units of heavy cavalry in Gondor. So thatwhilst increasingly desperate to have use of these forces, equally, Castamir cannot risk them being used against him, sodares not force the Prince's hand.So, then, the Line of Tirkhor has managed to tread the delicate line between Usurpers and Loyalists, with Adrazorunconvinced of either Castamir's ability to rule or Eldacar's right. But as Castamir grows increasingly desperate for aid inrepelling the forces of Eldacar, and as Eldacar's need for support from western Gondor with which to crush the Usurperbetween east and west grows, that line is becoming ever thinner. And it seems almost inevitable that there will come atime when the Line of Tirkhor must finally chose a side, or perish between them.General InformationStarting Gold59,280.CapitalLond Ernil (Located at 2227)Characters of Note Prince Adrazor of Belfalas, the Swan-prince, eldest son of Tirkhor.

Kin-strife – #22 – KhazadBackground#22 – KhazadIn the still of the early morning the woodland held its breath, only the murmur of the Anduin in the distance breaking thequiet. A heart beat, a second, and then, with a soft sigh, an axe cut the air, spinning as it described a low arc, tracing apath through the trees."Yeeesssssaaaaarrrrnnnnoooooooooo!"The peace was broken as the dwarf cried out, initial triumph giving way to sudden horror. And his axe, bouncing off thetop edge of a small upended tree trunk wherein the centre of which was embedded another axe, spun off into theundergrowth."Damnation," Gimlin muttered, pulling at his beard and turning to face his companion's grinning features with a scowl."Best out of three?"Dorin shook his head, sticking out his hand. "That was the second of three. You missed the last one too, remember? Now,pay up. I need to make some sort of profit from this blasted trip."Grimacing, Gimlin reluctantly fished two coins from his pouch, handing them over grudgingly. "Lucky, that's what you are.Besides, my axe isn't straight, I'm sure of it."Dorin raised an eyebrow. "Well, you know what they say about bad craftsmen blaming their tools. Besides, if I recall, youmade that one yourself, did you not?"Bickering, the pair retrieved their axes before returning to the wagons, sitting down heavily on ground whose grass wasalready flattened, what was meant to have been an overnight camp having been their home now for close on ten days.They had been meant to meet up with traders from Gondor over a week ago, but, once again, the Gondorians had clearlybeen delayed. And the delays were getting worse, too."You think they'll show?"Gimlin didn't need to ask what his brother was referring to, for the same subject was on his mind."Couldn't say. Damned humans. Can't build, can't mine, can't keep their appointments. By Durin's beard, I wish we hadn'tcome. Don't know why I let you talk me into it.""Gold, if I'm not mistaken.""Yes? Well, so far I'm out of pocket, and all I've got to show for it is a blunted axe. I've more than half a mind to–"He fell silent, rising to his feet as the sound of footsteps broke the quiet. For a moment he listened, tense, beforeshouldering his axe. "A human. But alone – that's odd."A moment later a man, albeit a ragged and travel-worn specimen, did indeed emerge from the woods. Seeing them, henodded in greeting."You're late," Gimlin stated shortly.The man nodded. "Ay. And lucky to be here at all. We were ambushed by men of Rhovanion two days' journey away. Mycompanions were taken captive, as was our vessel. Only I managed to escape."And your gold?" Gimlin asked. "Was that as lucky?"The man winced. "No. Taken."Version 1.00 #22 – Khazad 001

Kin-strife – #22 – Khazad"Then you can't pay us?"The man shook his head.Gimlin spat on the ground. "In that case we'll be leaving. And next time, the cost will be double to cover this wasted trip.""But the weapons, the arms! We need them! If I return empty-handed the Cor Aran will have my head!"Gimlin shrugged. "Tell it to someone who cares."As Dorin urged their mules into life, Gimlin moved to follow, before, as if reconsidering, turning back to the man.Unslinging his axe, notched now from its glancing blow with the trunk, he tossed it at the man's feet. "Here. Consider it agift."And then the dwarves were gone.In the first age, the Seven Fathers of the dwarves awoke, and came forth with their Kindreds to explore the land.Durin, the First father, came upon the Misty Mountains, and established there Khazad-dum, the Dwarf Mansion, whichwas to endure through the ages.Dwalin and Thrar, having journeyed with Durin, continued onwards into the north-west, to found Belegost and Nogrod inthe Blue Mountains. These were lost and – most thought – destroyed, in the Great Battle at the end of the First Age,wherein Morgoth was overthrown. And yet some dwarven bands survived, and, in the Second Age managed to reestablishholds in the mountains, though they were but shadows of the holds' former glories.Thelor's folk dwelt for a time in Mount Gundabad in the northern Misty Mountains, before conflict forced them first east intothe Mountains of Rhun where they established Azanulinbar-Dum, and then, early in the third age, south into Ered Harmal,establishing the delving called Namagaluz.Bavor's people journeyed south, to build their homes in the Yellow Mountains of Greater Harad, below the great wastes ofthe Harad deserts.Finally, Druin and Barin's tribe travelled east, far beyond the realms that would later be claimed by the human Easterlings,to settle in the seaward lands of Ruuriik.So it is that most of the Seven Kindreds played no part in the history of Middle-earth, or at least, in Northern lands ofMiddle-earth of which most is told of in the histories. Of those that did, the most famed line is of course that of Durin. Yetthe lines of Dwalin and Thrar, broken but not destroyed, yet remain in the far north west, and the dwarves of Namagaluz,ever having taken but little interest in the affairs of men, also endured into the Third Age.Durin's Folk have benefited from the Kin-strife, selling arms and armour to both sides. However, with Eldacar securing hisposition in Rhovanion, trade with Castamir down the Anduin has become difficult. Durin bides his time, but it is clear that,should the war in Gondor become prolonged, he will have to choose a side else risk the possibility of losing trading linkswith both. Meanwhile, the Folk of Dwalin, Thrar and Namagaluz care even less for the affairs of men. Yet the ties that bindof the Seven Tribes, ancient as they are, are not easily ignored. And should Durin have need, he knows that he might callupon them to support him.Note: Dwarven Kings typically take on the name of their ancestors, which makes dating individuals somewhat difficult.Durin is almost certainly Durin V, since Durin’s line is fairly well detailed by Tolkien (although he could conceivably beDurin IV). But the ‘numerals’ of the other Kings are very much estimations, estimations made more awkward by the factthat dwarves seem to live anywhere from one hundred to three hundred years, assuming they do not meet their end inbattle. Dwalin and Thrar have been based on Durin, since all three trace their ancestry directly from the Seven Fathers. Ithas been assumed, however, that the lines of Threlin and Thulin are weaker, being only indirectly related to the SevenTribes, so have shorter life spans, leading to the greater numerals of their current Kings.Version 1.00 #22 – Khazad 001

Kin-strife – Post ScriptPost ScriptIn the year 1447 of the Third Age of Middle-earth, the remaining forces of Castamir the Usurper were defeated at theBattle of Erui, and Castamir himself slain by Eldacar's hand.However, the influence of Castamir did not end with his death. The remnants of his forces, led by his surviving sons, fledsouth to Pelargir, and from there to the city of Umbar in the far south. There, among those who had supported themthroughout the Kin-strife, they regrouped, and as the Corsairs of Umbar allied themselves with the men of Harad, taking tothe seas to terrorize the ports of Gondor.For nearly four hundred years they laid waste to Gondor's southern trade routes, sometimes even reaching deep intoGondor's territories along her rivers. And they remained at threat until 1810, when King Telumehtar of Gondor finallyretook Umbar. In doing so, he slew the last of the descendents of Castamir, and it is, perhaps, a mark of how significant athreat the Corsairs had shown themselves to be that from that time Telumehtar onwards was known as Umbardacil, whichmeans "Victor over Umbar".And yet even after that, was Castamir's influence truly over? Through his actions he had struck at the heart not only ofGondor, but of what it meant to be of Gondor. The civil war had set friend against friend, brother against brother, and thescars it left on the psyche of the people were never to truly heal. For where once there had been a unity, from that timeonwards, whenever there arose disagreement, no matter how slight, always there was a dark whisper in the back of themind, a voice that warned against trust, a fear that saw in every act the possibility of betrayal. In the final reckoning, thetrue legacy of Castamir was not of bloodshed and fire, but of doubt and mistrust. And so, in the end, the victory wasSauron's alone.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Appendix A – Non-Player CharactersAppendicesAppendix A – Non-Player CharactersThese are characters which can be encountered and recruited. For details on how to recruit an NPC, please refer to theAdditional Rules section of this module.Abilities implied by the descriptions may not exactly match their powers in the game, and they may or may not be found inthe expected locations.Not all NPCs will necessarily be found in every game, and additional NPCs not detailed here may also be discovered.However, the following form the core of the NPCs that are likely to be encountered.Free PeoplesCirdanCirdan, shipwright and keeper of the Grey Havens, is one of the wisest of the elves to have walked on Middle-earth. Andwhilst ostensibly his part in the history of the later ages of Middle-earth has been but a small one, his gifting of Gandalfwith Narya, the elven ring of power, must surely be one of the most selfless and foresighted of acts witnessed in Arda.The last of the once-great elven mariners, it is to his Grey Havens that the elves of Middle-earth come when they areweary of the world.Dameric Took of the Fallohide Clan and Michel Bandy of the StoorsThe Shire will not be formed until the year 1601 of the Third Age, when King Argeleb II of Arthedain grants thempermission to settle in his lands. However, by the time of the Kin-strife most of the hobbit families have already crossedover the Misty Mountains, fleeing their ancient homes in the Greenwood following the arrival there of Sauron. And theycan be found, if you look very carefully, in east Arthedain. The Stoor hobbits, meanwhile, have re-crossed the mountainsand settled in the Gladden Fields. Although more adventurous than the hearth-loving Shire-folk will come to be, still, eventhe stoutest Stoor is more fond of ale than adventuring. Yet even so, their inherent sense of goodness might allow them tobe persuaded to aid in the Kin-strife. Especially, if they think there will be a pouch of Old Toby in it for them.Gandalf the GreyGandalf the Grey, the Grey Pilgrim, the Grey Wanderer. Olorin, Tharkun, Incanus. Mithrandir, Second of the Order ofIstari, Servant of the Secret Fire that is Hope, and wielder of the flame of Anor. Of all the beings that have walked onMiddle-earth, the Grey Wizard surely needs least introduction. His time is not yet come, his glory veiled still in tatteredrobes of grey. But still, ever a friend to those who would stand against the Darkness, there can be no greater ally to befound in Middle-earth.GoldberryWife of Tom Bombadil, Goldberry is a spirit of the water, tied to the rivers and lakes even as Tom is to the earth. Hers is abeauty of joy and of life, inspiring not fear and reverence but laughter and hope.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Appendix A – Non-Player CharactersGwaihir Windlord, Landroval and MeneldorEver have the Great Eagles been allies in the fight against the Ancient Enemy and his servants. When the world was stillyoung, Thorondor, Lord of the Eagles, led his people against the dragons and against Morgoth himself, and such was hismajesty that he was allowed to go into the west when the First Age was done. Those Eagles that yet remain in Middleearthare less mighty than their ancestors, but still remain masters of the skies, whose beak and claws even dragons havelearned to fear. Gandalf earned the friendship of Gwahir when he healed a wound the Windlord had suffered, and inreturn, the eagles have come to Gandalf’s aid many times. Gwaihir’s kin, Landroval and Meneldor the Swift, are namesless frequently mentioned in the histories of Middle-earth, yet ever have they been present at Gwaihir’s side.KoashunKoashun is the King of Koanoz, a city realm in Harad. Rare amongst the people of Harad, Koashun not only opposes theends of League of Southron Warlords, but actively speaks out against the prophet Zimrakhil. Further, his eldest son,Prince Harith, has pledged service to Eldacar. So far, the Southron Kingdoms have let Koashun in peace, as his rule isover one of the most ancient and respected kingdoms in the south. Yet as Zimrakhil's influence grows, Koashun knowsthat it is surely but a matter of time before the Warlords are persuaded to act against him. And knows further that, if he isto survive the Kin-strife, he must secure the friendship and protection of the Loyalists.LosspindelThe Lossidil, or Snow Elves, of the Teleri, make their home in the far north of Forodreth, the Northern Wastes beyond theEred Mithrin. Theirs is a barren land, where the legacy of Morgoth and his dread stronghold of Angbad still scar the icywastes. From their city of Helloth, ruled by Losspindel, Mistress of the City, scouts wander the land. Few roam as farsouth as the Grey Mountains, but, on occasion, they may be seen there. And whilst understandably caring little for theaffairs of those who dwell in the warmer regions, nevertheless in their hearts they still bear a hatred of the Ancient Enemy,and might even be persuaded to act in the Kin-strife against his servant Sauron.Radagast the BrownThe last of the Istari to be chosen to journey to Endor, some claim that he is also the weakest, both in strength and in will.Yet whilst it is true that, in the final years of the Third Age, Saruman will use him as a fool, nevertheless, unlike othersamong the Istari he has never fallen prey to greed and darkness. And if his is a fault, it is of caring too much for the beastsand the trees, and not enough for the affairs of man. From his home at Rhosgobel in the Anduin Valley, the lands ofwestern Mirkwood fall under his care. Long has he fought the darkness that spreads from Dol Guldur, and perhaps hemight be persuaded to walk further afield, for a time at least.Saruman the WhiteIn the years of the Kin-strife Saruman has not yet taken residence in Orthanc, nor yet fallen prey to Sauron's darkinfluence. And whilst even now the seed of his later villainy resides in his heart, still the hour is not yet late, so that hemight still be considered a force for good.Tom BombadilOldest of the Maiar to still walk in Endor, Tom Bombadil was also the first to enter Ea. An earth spirit, he dwells in the OldForest. And, having cared for the forest for so long, his spirit is tied to the place, so that, whilst within its embrace hispowers are without limit, beyond the forest his strength is largely untried. His soul, too, is tied to the earth, so that, likeother Maiar who have dwelt on Middle-earth for so long, such as the Istari and the Balrogs, he can no longer cast off hisphysical form and travel the unseen paths of the Maiar.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Appendix A – Non-Player CharactersTreebeard, Skinbark and LeaflockEnts have walked Middle-earth since Yavanna first fashioned them from her thoughts. Slow to anger, yet as Sarumanfound to his peril, once roused their fury is that of the storm, and their strength that of the earth.Oldest of these oldest of mortal creatures, Treebeard is the guardian of Fangorn Forest, last haven for the Ents. Andthose ents that yet remember speech and movement do so at his bidding.Skinbark dwells to the west of Isengard, and his is the care of the birch and ash, the rowan and aspen. Of those ents whoyet walk, he is perhaps the most active, his sap still quick to rise.And the third of these most ancient Shepherds is Leaflock, his flock the willows the birches, the firs and the pines. Hekeeps to the high places of Fangorn, and, though growing more tree-ish with every passing decade, still the sap in himremains strong, and might yet be awakened to action.Sulkano and FeamirieAmon Lind is a small elven fort on the western side of the southern Misty Mountains. More so even than other elves, thefolk of Amon Lind have sought to remain aloof from the affairs of the world, and whilst trading on occasion with otherpeoples near them, they have had little interest in what has transpired in the world about them. However, that is not to saythat they do not share the same hatred of Sauron and his minions as all of their kind. And, if sought out, it is possible thatthey might be persuaded to stand against him.Sulkano is an elven smith, a mage and inventor. Obsessed with the concept of flight, he has made several machinescapable of taking to the air, and even, it is rumoured, a flying vessel.Feamirie is an architect of Amon Lind, and the nearest thing the fort has to a leader. Certainly he is the best swordsmen,and it is he who leads the frequent raids on nearby orc and troll tribes.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Appendix A – Non-Player CharactersDark ServantsAkhorahilAkhorahil, the Blind Sorcerer, Storm King of Far Harad. Only the fifth of the Nazgul, nevertheless, both as a mage ofunrivalled skill among the dark servants, and as the Witch-king's most valued lieutenant – being, in fact, also his cousin –Akhorahil wields both power and respect. The time of the Kin-strife finds him quiet in the far south, gradually restoring hiskingdom beneath the yellow sands. But in his role as lieutenant to the Witch-king, he is also on occasion seen abroad inthe north, where his cousin makes ready to launch further assault on the peoples of Arnor.Barrow WightBarrow Wights haunt the tombs in which they were unhappily laid to rest. And yet they can, if called, move from beyondtheir resting places to cast their pale shadows upon the world. Though it would be one in desperate need who dared tothus call them forth.Bert, Tom and William HugginsIll-tempered and often slow of wit, trolls are the handiwork of Morgoth, who fashioned them in mockery of the Ents. Thethree brothers Bert, Tom and William are particularly slow-thinking examples of Troll-kind, but this fact may well allowsomeone brave enough to risk their foul anger and fouler breath to more easily persuade them to join the Kin-strife.Different trolls can abide the sun to varying degrees, and sadly for the brothers, theirs is the tendency to turn to stone atthe slightest hint of sunlight. A fact which will eventually prove their undoing late in the Third Age. But, at the time of theKin-strife, they are still a menace to the Rhudaur hills they lay waste to.Dwar of WawBorn the son of a fisherman, Dwar's rise in power, first to Lord of the Isle of Dogs in the east and then to a Nazgul, one ofSauron's most trusted servants, is surely one of the most remarkable in the histories of Middle-earth. And only the Witchkingand Khamul the Dragon Lord wield more influence among the forces of darkness. Having passed into shadow withhis master at the end of the Second Age, he awakened again in the year 1051 of the Third Age, dwelling with Sauron inDol Guldur before leaving to play his part in preparing for the time when Sauron would finally rise up once more.Enna San SarabOne of the most powerful of the daughters of Shelob, Enna San Sarab dwells in Southern Mirkwood. Whilst far weakerthan her mother, nevertheless Enna San Sarab is a feared hunter, and made more so by the fact that she keeps her ownspawn close about her, hundreds of spiders who weave their webs in the darkness of the forest.FelagrodDurin's Bane, the Balrog of Moria, born of fire and darkness. At the time of the Kin-strife, the dwarves of Moria have notyet delved too deeply, and so Felagrod bides his time in the fires below the surface of the world. But already theirhammers awaken him from his slumbers, and he stretches, turning his mind once more to the service of his dark lord.And, if any are brave enough to risk the deepest rents and chasms, he might be found and brought forth to wreak havocon the world once more.Fha-KorlashOrcs, or goblins, are perhaps the most pervasive example of Melkor's evil, the corrupted spawn of elves whom hecaptured and twisted into dark form. Many times during the ages of Middle-earth have these creatures spread like aplague across the land, and whilst many times they have been driven back to the dark places of the world, they yetremain. There have been many orcs to have taken the name Fha-Korlash, for it is both name and title both for the chief ofthe Scara-Hair tribe of orcs, found in Northern Ithilien. At the time of the Kin-strife, when the presence of Gondor in thearea is strong, the tribe is but small in number, and reside in the mountains of Mordor itself. But it would take little toconvince them to emerge once more in service of darkness.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Appendix A – Non-Player CharactersHoarmurathSixth among the Nazgul, Hoarmurath was born to the icy forests of the north, then reborn as Nazgul when Khamul theDragon Lord sought him out and offered him Sauron's power. For two centuries Hoarmurath, taking on the title Lord of theNorth, then ruled his lands, before, answering Sauron's call, fought and fell with him at the end of the Second Age. As withmany of his companions, the time of the Kin-strife finds Hoarmurath rebuilding his kingdom, whilst also heeding the darkorders of Sauron.Ji Indur Dawndeath Amaav IIIThe Fourth of the Nazgul, Ji Indur was King of the southern lands of Mumakan, home to the legendary Mumakil, orOliphants. And, on his rebirth in the year 1050 of the Third Age, he set to retaking his throne, so that the time of the Kinstrifesees him as King Ji Amaav III in the south, even as, among the Nazgul, he is known as Dawndeath, Sauron’s knifein the darkness.KhamulKhamul, the Dragon Lord of the Easterlings, was born Komul, changing his name to reflect the pronunciation of the BlackSpeech when he was summoned to Barad-dur by Sauron. And, when reawakened in the Third Age, Khamul dwelt with hismaster in Dol Guldur, commanding the garrison there. Second only to the Witch-king, Khamul is a hunter without equal,and, despite his position as commander of Sauron's garrison, he is by nature solitary, often acting as Sauron's silent bladewhen Ji Indur is otherwise occupied.Lhachglin and Slyardach the Dindae of Nan GulduinA servant of darkness, though but a mortal the mage Lhachglin wields great power, not least the demon Slyardach, theDindae of Nan Gulduin, who Sauron has bound to Lhachglin’s command. From the fortress of Sarn Goriwing in northernMirkwood, Lhachglin uses the dark creatures of the forest as spies in service of Sauron, whilst Slyardach is employed asmessenger and assassin.Old Man WillowQuite why Old Man Willow is as dark-hearted as he is remains unknown; most likely his soul and heart were twisted byMorgoth's power aeons ago. Although not having moved for centuries, due in large part to Tom Bombadil’s efforts to keephim asleep, Old Man Willow is in fact a huorn, and like all huorns, as with their brethren the ents, he is capable of rousinghimself if necessary. The passing of the years have largely caused him to forget that once he walked the earth, and heexists now more as if in a dream. But, if he can be roused to anger, he might prove a valuable ally.Ren the UncleanConsumed by plague and by fever as a young man, he recovered from the plague that wracked his body but not the feverthat twisted his mind. Speaking of himself as the Fire King, the fire of his madness attracted others to him, so that by theyear 2000 of the Second Age, he was indeed King, in the lands of Chey to the east of the Ered Harmal. Having watchedRen's rise with keen interest, Sauron offered him a Ring of Power, and so Ren became the eighth Nazgul. Moving onceagain on the land, the time of the Kin-strife sees the Fire King seeking to restore his empire, unifying the tribes in CheySart.SauronLieutenant of Morgoth the Ancient Enemy, Sauron is the most feared and powerful dark presence in Middle-earth in theThird Age. The time of the Kin-strife finds him in Dol Guldur, in the disguise of the Necromancer. Unwilling yet to revealhis full power, he works instead through the Nazgul, gathered to him once again, so that not even the Istari yet know thetrue nature of the Necromancer, though perhaps some guess. It would be a fool who entered Dol Guldur in the hope ofpersuading Sauron to join their cause. Yet nevertheless, it might just be that one who entered with proper supplicationmight gain some boon.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Appendix A – Non-Player CharactersShelobAn evil from the dark years, Shelob dwelt in the mountains of Mordor before Sauron ever claimed it, and whilst bothbenefitted from the other's presence, neither owed nor now owes the other loyalty. If even Sauron dares not demand herobedience, then, it would be a fool indeed who sought to do so. And yet in return for promise of the blood of others thatshe feeds upon, it is possible that she might be persuaded to join, for a time at least, the cause of the Usurpers. For whilstcaring nothing for their cause, there will surely be much blood spilled in the conflict.NeutralIstar LuinThird among the Istari, Istar Luin more than any of his kind spurns the mantle of age his physical form suggests. A hunterand a warrior, he revels in the pleasures of the flesh, but being thus bound to his physical form, oft-times he falls prey toits weaknesses, to fear as well as desire, to weariness as well as exhilaration, and to pride as well as pursuit ofexcellence. Some claim that his path and his pride can only lead him to turn from serving men to seeking to rule overthem. But if so, the thought of raising his own kingdom is but a dream, and like Saruman, he has not yet entirelyabandoned all thought of his calling to protect the lands of Middle-earth. Still, it would be a brave man, or dwarf, whothought to remind him of his responsibilities, and perhaps an easier task would be to tempt him instead to abandon suchduties entirely, forsaking them for the temptations of power and darkness.Malan-buri-MalanHeadman, or buri, of the Woses. Unsurpassed in wood-lore, the Woses are among the most ancient of the races of man,thought to be primitive by those who judge civilisation only by its material veneer. Caring little for the affairs of the world ofmen, and peaceable by nature, nevertheless they will fight to protect their forests, and bear a hatred for those such asorcs who would burn and destroy them. And, as such, might be roused by any who can persuade them that their landsare at risk.OrodrethOrodreth, son of Maeglin, is, of all the people of Middle-earth, the one with the greatest claim to the throne of Gondor.This fact is not known to him, however, and indeed only a few know this truth, which is as well for him, since if it werecommon knowledge, he would doubtless have been killed long ago by those with aspirations to power.King Tarannon, ruler of Gondor in the ninth century of the Third Age, was not childless as is generally thought, butfathered an illegitimate son through Beruthiel, herself also of Numenorean origin. The child was fostered by the first Princeof Morthond, who, since he himself was childless, passed his house on to the child. And so Orodreth, as eldest son of thecurrent, aging, prince of Mothrond, can be seen to be the true heir to the Throne of Gondor.This fact not withstanding, Orodreth's life has been ill-fated indeed. Despite the desire of his family line to remain neutralin the Kin-strife, eager for glory he pledged his allegiance to Castamir, and was responsible first for the Linhir uprising,then for the taking Osgiliath. However, forced by those jealous of his success to kill Ornendil, son of Eldacar, as proof ofhis loyalty to Castamir, Orodreth then repented of his actions, and his part in the bloody war. After the fall of Osgiliath hewas made Captain of The Ethir by Castamir, a mockery of a position with no authority or men under him, ostensiblyresponsible for guarding against pirates in the Anduin delta, though since the pirates are themselves in the pay ofCastamir, he has been instructed not to interfere with them.Accepting this position as penance, Orodreth lives now in solitude. Yet it is rarely given to those fated to have a great partto play in the histories to be allowed to remain in such peace. And, to any who could convince him to take their side,Orodreth would surely prove a most valued ally.Version 1.00

Kin-strife – Appendix A – Non-Player CharactersThe Blue WizardTo name him the lesser of the Five Wizards would be to risk forgetting the power of all the Istari. Yet it is true that of all theOrder, his is perhaps the least part in the history of Middle-earth. His is the knowledge of death, and of grief, andburdened with such wisdom, some believe it inevitable that he will one day slip from pity and empathy to distain andloathing for those mortals who suffer and die. But, as with Istar Luin and as with Saruman, The Blue Wizard too has notentirely put aside his duties to the world, and his heart is not yet inured to grief. And, as such, he might make an ally in theKin-strife, for good or for evil.Turukulon the WormTurukulon is one of the few dragons to have been born after Morgoth's defeat at the end of the First Age. However,stunted in size, he was forced from his home on the Withered Heath, and eventually made his lair in the very south of theMisty Mountains. There, unlike most of his kind, rather than merely preying on the lesser races he bargained with them,albeit often only in return for their lives. So that the dwarves fashioned for him a lair, men work for him as spies, and noweven with the elves of nearby Amon Lind he has forged an arrangement, where he helps in their forges in return formagical knowledge.However, despite his unusual nature, Turukulon is still a dragon, and in his heart is still the greed for treasure and wealththat fires all his kind.

Kin-strife – Appendix E – Time-lineAppendix E – Time-lineAny attempt to draw up a complete time-line of events in Middle-earth is doomed to failure, for the task of reducing manyvolumes of writing into a brief outline is guaranteed to result in events some consider to be of vital importance beingmissed out. And even here, where we have sought only to provide a background necessary for the understanding of theevents of the Kin-strife, the more that we included the more there was that seemed to need to be included, until a pointwas reached when it became necessary to enforce a limit that may seem almost arbitrary. As such, this time-line isnecessarily incomplete. However, we hope that this will at least serve to set the events described in this module in theirproper context.Before the First AgeIn the years without time before the first age, Eru creates the Ainur, whose music becomes the lands of Arda.The Years of the Lamps, the Years of the Trees, and The First Age.The people of Arda are given shape and form. Elves, dwarves and men inhabit Middle-earth.At the end of the First Age Morgoth, the Ancient Enemy, is overthrown, though his servant Sauron escapes.The Second Age1 The foundation of the Grey Havens in Middle-earth.32 The Edain, three of the oldest houses of men, reach the Island of Numenor, west of Middle-earth.c. 500 Sauron stirs in Middle-earth.600 The first Numenorean ships appear off the coasts of Middle-earth.c. 1000 Sauron takes Mordor for his own.

Kin-strife – Appendix F – New OrdersAppendix F – New Orders496 – Build RoadType of Order CommandDifficulty of Order HardOrder Number 496Order CodeBldRoadPrerequisitesRequired InformationThe character has emissary and command skillThe character is an army commanderThere are no armies present in the hex who consider your army an enemyHex-side where road being built begins (ne, e, se, sw, w, or nw)Hex-side where road being built ends (ne, e, se, sw, w, or nw)This order allows an army commander to attempt to build a road which either connects at a hex-side to an existing road,or which completes a partial road already ending in the hex. This order will not succeed if there are any armies of nationswho consider your nation an enemy present. Success is based on the command and emissary ranks of the character, thesize of the army the character commands, the relation of the character’s nation to the nation of a population centre in thehex if one is present, and the terrain type. Bear in mind that army movement through a hex is only aided by a road whenthe road reaches uninterrupted from the hex the army travelled from, into the hex. So movement through adjacentmountain hexes, for example, is not permitted until a road is not only present in one of the hexes, but connects both ofthem.For example: angul, 496, w, ne,942 – Move Turn MapType of Order EmissaryDifficulty of Order AverageOrder Number 942Order CodeMvTnMapPrerequisitesThe character has emissary and command skillThe character is at their nation’s capitalThe nation has sufficient goldRequired Information Direction of map movement (ne, nw, e, se, sw, or w)This order allows a character with both emissary and command skill to attempt to move the turn map their nation receiveseach turn. The map must remain within normal map boundaries, which is to say you cannot move it off the edge of thegame world. The map can only be moved once a turn, and the nation’s capital must appear on the map after the move orthe order will fail. Success is based on both the character’s emissary and command ranks, and how central to the map thenation’s capital is (with success being more likely when the capital is located towards the centre of the map). Moving themap east or west will move it one hex, whilst moving the map north-east, north-west, south-east or south-west will movethe map two hexes. Note also that moving the map north-east or north-west will result in the same movement of the mapnorth, and moving the map south-west or south-east will result in the same movement of the map south. The cost ofmoving the map is 5,000 gold up to turn 12, after which the cost is 3,000 gold.For example: angul, 945, w,Version 1.00
