WELCOME!
What can you see on the horizon?
Welcome to Into the West! We are a Middle-Earth based site that focuses on retelling the events of the Hobbit, Shadow of Mordor, and the Lord of the Rings in a three arc epic with your characters to see how they alter the fate of Middle-Earth. Through the actions of your characters, Middle-Earth has a chance to become better or worse. Perhaps thanks to you, the War of the Ring sees a much stronger Free Peoples fighting against Sauron. Or maybe it's because of you that we're all doomed, who knows? Please read through our rules and other site essentials to see if this is a good site for you. We would love to have you join and have fun with us!

The Shire
| 1 TOPICS
| 1 POSTS
If there is ever a place where one may wish to settle down and raise a family or something, it would definitely be the Shire, if they're a Hobbit anyway. The Shire is a vast expanse of green, rolling hills and farmlands with fertile soil. It is here the Hobbits live out the same day to day life from birth until death. Nothing unexpected ever happens here, and those who are outsiders are often looked upon with suspicion by the little folk. That said, if there was ever a place to reaffirm one's belief that there is good in the world worth fighting for, it's the Shire.

Bree

No posts have been made on this board.
One of the biggest hotspots of Eriador, Bree is considering the get together for any group of adventurers that want to set out, normally. If you have ever heard of tales of meeting at a tavern on a dark stormy night, well the trend began here. While Hobbits rarely venture out of the Shire, the more adventurous ones have been known to come here. It's however, usually over a day's journey from the Shire to Bree. It's heavily populated, filled with many houses, inns, and paved roads, and is actually an ancient settlement of men, believe it or not.

Rivendell

Rivendell, one of the last bastions of elves, is considered a glorious sight by any who enter it for the first time. Built in a ravine with flowing waterfalls, Rivendell, or Imladris, as another name for it, houses one of the greatest healers in Middle-Earth, and the bearer of Vilya. It is one of the few areas that does not truly discriminate against the other races save orcs, and will welcome men, dwarves, and hobbits alike. They are highly cultured, and hold artifacts of the previous events of Middle-Earth, and are notoriously well defended.

Lake-town
| 1 TOPICS
| 3 POSTS
A small settlement in the Northeastern part of Middle-Earth, Lake-town is a settlement of men that rests upon the long lake. Constructed entirely of wood, Lake-town is built on stands that use wooden pillars sunk into the lake bed in order to support itself. Despite having such a defensible position, Lake-town is unfortunately very susceptible to fire due to its wooden making. However, it is rather wealthy, using its location as an area of trade between men and elves and dwarves. Also, it has pugs.

Gondor

No posts have been made on this board.
The Realm of Gondor is considered the greatest defense that the Free Peoples have against the forces of Sauron... usually. Right now with Sauron not really being active right now, Gondor seems kind of peaceful for the moment save for the conflicts with the Haven of Umbar. Gondor is unique in its lineage; descended from the men of Numenor, they are considered the last bastion of its culture. Though they do not have the long life that the men of the north are blessed with, they still value Numenorean traditions.

The land of the Horse Lords. Rohan is a vast expanse of plains with some rocks. To this the population of Rohan tend to use horses to get around, and are very well versed in the art of horse riding. However, it's not as clean as one would think; Rohan had to drive out the Dunlendings in order to take this land for themselves.

Middle-Earth is filled with many different forests that range from fair, to foul, to everything in between. These woods can either be an ally or an enemy, but they are all vast and usually make for great hiding spots.

Middle-Earth has mountains. Lots of them. There are mountain ranges in the north, there are mountain ranges in the west as well. There are even mountain ranges all the way into Gondor as well. Needless to say, as there are forests, there are mountains. However, the mountains tend to be a bit more dangerous than the forests for various reasons, so still be careful!

The grand majority of Middle-Earth is wilderness. Whether it's ruins or plains or just the great outdoors, Middle-Earth is host to a rather diverse biome. Tread lightly even under this beautiful sky though, for there are strange folk abroad!

The song of Eru Ilúvatar has been given shape and form for countless centuries as it tells of the fate of Arda and beyond even that. At times, it is important to take apart these strands and look back to the past and see how these melodies shaped all within Eru’s creation. [PAST BOARD]
