The One Ring ~ Faction 1: The Call of GondorFactionsFaction 1: The Call of GondorLong have the men of Gondor kept vigilant watch over the lands of Mordor, safeguarding the lands of the north and westagainst Sauron’s malice. And even though the line of Kings has long-since failed there, still, the blood of theNúmenóreans runs yet in noble veins, giving them courage and strength enough to stand against the tide of darkness. Still,whilst they do not ask for aid, they need it even so. And the sons of Earl, the Riders of Rohan, would grant such help andgladly, were they able. Yet they too face threat of war, as the Dunlendings, wild Hill-men of the west, are roused to battleby Saruman, with their raids upon the lands and peoples of the Rohirrim growing ever more frequent. So that those whowould answer the Call of Gondor are hard-pressed from both east and west, and even from the south as well, as atSauron’s command the desert Haradrim press against Gondor’s borders, whilst Corsairs harry Gondorian merchant fleets,even becoming bold enough to strike up-river at Gondor’s ports and settlements.But perhaps hope remains. For rumour reaches the lands of Gondor that the sword long-since broken might yet berenewed, that the line of Kings in the north has not entirely failed, and that, perhaps, the crownless again shall be King.Rumour that brings hope to many, but sows doubt and fear in the minds of some, for so long have the Stewards ruled inthe King’s name that they might prove unwilling to lightly relinquish that authority should he one day return. And hope isthere also, in the thoughts of those grown desperate indeed, in something else long-thought lost. The Great Ring, anheirloom of the North Kingdom, whose presence is felt in riddles and dreams, and which promises power, such power asto restore Gondor to its former might, else leave it utterly destroyed.OverviewThe Call of Gondor consists of the people of Gondor, and those whom they might call allies.Set-up Positions Gondorian: Overlord, Mercenary, Hero Rohirrim: Overlord, Mercenary, HeroMAINSSecondariesRace ID Blood-lines Fav (-25) Tol (-50) Other (-75) Hated (-999)Gondorian 201 Free Peoples (b1)All Others -202, 228, -212, -218Númenórean (b2)Rohirrim 251 Free People (b1) Gondorian All Others -202, 228, -212, -218Set-up Gondorian set-ups must be within Gondor: south of the White mountains and West of the Anduin.
