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?

backstory
Gríma Wormtongue, originally from the Dunlendings, is a character marked by deceit and manipulation. Before coming to Rohan, he lived among the wild men of Dunland, where he was born into a family that had been long at odds with the Rohirrim. His bitterness toward Rohan started early, and his loyalty was eventually swayed by Saruman, who sought to weaken Rohan and gain control of its people. Gríma's descent into treachery began when he was taken into the service of King Théoden as a trusted advisor. However, over time, his loyalties shifted under Saruman's influence, and he became a poisonous presence at Théoden's court, slowly poisoning the king's mind. Saruman's dark whispers led Théoden into despair and paralysis, leaving Gríma to act with growing power. He has a complicated relationship with Éowyn, whom he secretly loves.
