SETTING
Our game is set in a timepocket in between the events of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
​
Sauron is out of hiding, and the Dark Lord is gathering his forces in Mordor.
A great eye sits atop Barad-dûr and evil is stirring throughout Middlearth.
In the north a bloody campaign is being led from Gundabad under the watchful command of the black numenorian Agandaûer.
He is gathering an army from the orcish strongholds of the Misty Mountains and Dol Guldur, with the purpose of weakening the forces of order, so that the northmen will be unable to assist the free people against the Dark Lord, in the great war to come.
War in the North is about the unsung heroes and villains of middle-earth. Therefore you cannot play any named and famous characters from the books or films.
Our games revolve around conflict, but if you aren't playing a combatant, you are encouraged to play any kind of retinue and retainers, opportunists and the sorts.
You could play a traveling merchant, following the army around, looking to make a fortune. The innkeeper who runs a makeshift tent-tavern, a priest or religious figure giving the soldiers comfort and faith. A field medic patching up the wounded, a scholar writing down the historic event as they transcribe, or maybe family and loved ones of the combatants.
​
There are a ton of possible roles to play. If you have any special ideas, don’t hesitate to contact us!
