T
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?

Wraith

Wraiths, also known as the Houseless and the Unbodied, are beings who were killed yet remain in existence by some dark sorcery such as necromancy or a Morgul-blade, or someone who died in darkness or serious dishonor.

Uruk-hai
Custom

Uruk-hai

Uruk-hai is a Black Speech term meaning "Orc-folk." The word "Uruk" can refer generically to any Orc, but there are certain larger, stronger breeds of Orc that are referred to specifically as "Uruks." The term "Uruk-hai" was most notably used by the Uruks of Saruman's army to describe themselves during the War of the Ring. They have a greater stature than most common Orcs. They are swart, slant-eyed, and have thick legs and large hands.

Orc
Custom

Orc

Orcs are a race of humanoid creatures best known for their service as footsoldiers and slaves to the Dark Lords of Middle-earth. Even when not in thralldom to an evil master, Orcs rarely if ever had non-violent interactions with Elves, Men, or Dwarves. They are known by many names by the various peoples of Middle-earth.

Man
Custom

Man

Men are one of the Kindreds of the Children of Ilúvatar. Men are called the Secondborn (or the Second Kindred) by the Elves, their Elder brethren, because they were the last of all the incarnate races to come into being. Though they were born after the other sentient races, Men are destined to inherit and rule Middle-earth.

Maia
Custom

Maia

The Maiar (plural for Maia) were those spirits which descended into Ëa to assist the Valar in the shaping of Arda. The Maiar and Valar were collectively known as the Ainur, though the Maiar were of lesser power and majesty. Their number is unknown and few were named, and not all took visible shapes in Middle-earth. Most folk don't know that they walk among them.

Hobbit
Custom

Hobbit

Hobbits are a small race that typically dwell underground, believed to be related to Men. Hobbits are between two and four feet tall, with differences between male and female: about 3 feet 6 inches for males and seldom exceeded 3 feet for female. They have short legs, slightly pointed ears and furry feet with leathery soles, resulting in most never wearing shoes. Compared to the Dwarves they are a bit shorter and less stout or stocky.

Half-elf
Custom

Half-elf

Half-elven (Sindarin singular Peredhel, plural Peredhil), are the children of the Union of Elves and Men. Half-elven are not a distinct race per se; rather, they were fertile offspring as the result of a union between Elves and Men.

Ent
Custom

Ent

The Ents are sentient, humanoid beings created at the request of Yavanna to protect the trees from other creatures, particularly Dwarves, and thus were called "Shepherds of the Trees".

Elf
Custom

Elf

The Elves (Quendi) are the first of the races of the Children of Ilúvatar, known also as the Firstborn for that reason. The Elves are distinguished from the other two races, the Men and the Dwarves, especially by the fact of their near immortality.

Eagle
Custom

Eagle

Eagles, also known as Great Eagles, are immense, sentient birds that serve as messengers of Manwë. They are capable of speech and often help Men, Elves and Wizards in their efforts to defeat foes such as Morgoth and Sauron.

Dwarf
Custom

Dwarf

The Dwarves, or Khazâd in their own tongue, are beings of short stature, often friendly with Hobbits although long suspicious of Elves. They are typically blacksmiths and stoneworkers by profession, unrivalled in some of their arts even by the Elves.
