A Brief History of The 4th Age
With the ultimate destruction of the Dark Lord Sauron and his kingdom of Mordor, peace, finally returned to Middle-Earth. The 3rd Age came to a close with the exodus of the Elven peoples across the Great Gulf to Valinor in the West, leaving near total peaceful dominion of Middle-Earth to the new United Kingdom of Arnor, under King Aragorn the 2nd. It would be a peace which would last almost 8000 years, thus making the 4th Age of Middle-Earth, the single longest age in Middle-Earth History (Since ages end with the end of a grand conflict). Due to the exodus of the Elves, there was no longer any people in Middle-Earth, who could live long enough to tell a personal account of The War of The Ring, and thus, that tale passed into legend, stained glass windows and tomes to recount the heroic battle of good and evil. Technology made several new advances, most famously in farming (With the invention of an automatic irregation system which allowed for water to be brought from a nearby river to farmland at an almost constant stream) and military technology (The cannon and the shoulder rifle were both invented during this time). The only wars nowadays are simple border conflicts with the Goblins, the Wild Men of Dunland and the Haradrim in the south...Until...

Current Story
In the south the Goblins who now occupy Mordor, seem to be moving. They are breeding at an astonishing rate and southern Gondor has reported attacks by Goblin hordes. In the north, there are reports of activity in the Mines of Moria, which the Dwarves abandoned over 8000 years ago. In Mirkwood, which, since the exodus of the Elves has been without inhabitants, has sightings of giant spiders roaming the trees. And finally, in the far north...Travellers have been spreading rumors of seeing lights in the great ancient fortress of Angmar, which, since the destruction of the Witch-King, has been empty. These evil tidings are reported all across Middle-Earth. What could possibly be happening? Could it be Sauron or some remanant of his evil? Or something, far darker and more powerful...This mystery MUST be solved...

((Finally, at long last, this RP may begin! Yes Vicious, even your character will start out at the council, thats where we all start.)) BOOK 1
CHAPTER 1
The Council of Rivendell The older man in the brown cloak, with a wise old, yet strong looking black raven perched upon his shoulder rose from his seat and said, "I, Radagast The Brown...The last of the 5 Wizards who travelled to this Middle Earth so very long ago, have called this meeting due to ill tidings. We must answer the call of the threat of Mordor, Angmar and Moria..." He then sat down and said, "Let us deliberate on what is to be done..."An older Dwarf, clearly a leader, in fact it was Maelin, the King of the Dwarves or Erebor The Lonely Mountain rose from his seat and said, "Yes, my spies and agents have informed me of troubling news from the Misty Mountains. They have told me of supposedly a Dragon perched upon the mountain top of Carathas, which Moria lies under. It is a great green reptilian beast...It appears to have rallied the Goblins of Moria...That is a troubling sign..." The Dwarf sat down. Norolith did not stand up, he merely sat with his hands folded in front of his mouth as he said, "In our lands of Arnor, there is activity in Minas Morgul, the Tower of Sorcery...On top of that, the Goblins of Mordor are multiplying at an alarming rate, and according to my spies, appear to be preparing for war." Radagast then said, "I have sensed two troubling and dark presances coming from both Minas Morgul and the ancient fortress of Angmar...Elyon, have your Rangers noticed anything strange about the fortress of Angmar recently? Anything at all?"

Her lips were pursed, eyes narrowed and fixed on the people before her, as she gently played with her finger's grip. She was nervous, one could tell, a troubling sign, if you ask me, seeing that this half-elven creature never before showed any trouble upon her brow.
Looking up as her name was called, Elyon released a heavy sigh as she rose to an uneasy stance. "For what I have heard, my lords, thick mists cover the once tranquil valleys of Angmar. Ashes, ashes, and bitter soot, come in thick clouds like hell's breath, bringing forth creatures like never before my eyes have seen." she carried quickly, and momentarily paused before she continued, "They are horrid beasts and though, I am ashamed to admit, several lives were taken before these news reached my ears"

Rose listened to what was being said. She then listened to what Elyon was saying. her comments caught her attention. Rose then stood, "Similar things have been happening near the edge of the Shire. Many of my people have gone missing. There have also been shadows of beasts reported to me by my people seen in near by forests. The Shire is becoming quieter and quieter as people stay in their homes in fear of what they are seeing and the rumors they haer."
