TheChugz

Middle-earth during the events of The Lord of the Rings.


Author's Note: As the War of the Ring rages, Middle-earth stands on the brink of ruin or salvation. In this vast, living world, you forge your own path—be it as a noble warrior fighting for Gondor, a cunning rogue navigating the streets of Bree, an Elven scout patrolling Mirkwood, or even a servant of the Dark Lord seeking to tip the scales in Sauron’s favor. While the Fellowship carries out its fateful quest, your journey unfolds across the lands of Middle-earth, where every choice shapes your destiny. Will you stand with the Free Peoples, battling against the growing shadow, or embrace the darkness and seize power for yourself? Your actions may tip the balance, altering the course of history or ensuring that events unfold as foretold. From the battlefields of Rohan to the depths of Moria, the power is in your hands. The fate of Middle-earth is not yet written—will you be its savior or its doom?

Description

Shelob is a ferocious and ancient spider-like creature, born of darkness and dread, embodying the twisted instincts of predation and malice. As the last offspring of the dark creature Ungoliant, she dwells in the shadowy depths of her lair, predating on any who dare to venture too close. Her insatiable hunger and venomous bite are legendary, making her a terrifying force in the depths of Mordor. Web Sense: While in contact with a web, Shelob knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web. Web Walker: Shelob ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing. Venomous Might: A creature poisoned by Shelob’s bite has disadvantage on saving throws against the poisoned condition.
