The Lord of the Rings: The Fall of Arthedain
In the early years of The Third Age, under the rule of Arvedui - King of Arthedain and The Last King of the Dúnedain, the men of Numenor wage war with the forces of Angmar commanded by the Witch-King. Angmar has begun their assault, in a few months time the Kingdom of Arnor shall be their's and the Fortress of Fornost plagued by the presence of the Witch-King. But that is not yet, and King Arvedui remains enthroned in Fornost Erain, the new capital of Arnor. The forces of Angmar have began their advance into the North, and though their full army does not yet march small parties of orcs and fell creatures are beginning to breach the borders of Arthedain with attack forces and minor hordes.
King Arvedui has sent out a small platoon of troops just seventy men strong led by a group of soldiers, some men of his own and others elves and dwarves sent to him as a token of good faith from his distant allies. His eyes see far, a lieutenant of the Witch-King has moved across his plains killing the innocents who travel to Fornost for their safety and killing those who should lie close to the borders of Arnor, his horde is ruthless and filled with the elite creatures of Angmar - orcs, wights and wicked men with no sense of remorse.
This horde threatens to move into the abandoned city of Annúminas and secure it as a make-shift fortress of their own, an army of men already moves towards the fortress to secure it but their size limits them from moving quickly. Those selected by King Arvedui must move into the city, kill the lieutenant of the Witch-King and hold the city until the greater forces of Arnor arrive to hold it against the forces of Angmar.
If the city is not secured, the forces of Angmar will move through the kingdom of Arthedain unchecked, unchallenged and overthrow the City of Fornost just as easily, if Fornost is over-run, the Dúnedain will face certain death.
Information
Okay, so this a Role-Play about the Dúnedain, long before the War of the Ring. The Witch-King has not yet been revealed as the lord of the wraiths and his forces move against the men in the North. If I get enough interest, I'll post up a thread for your character sheets - elves, dwarves and men or orcs, wights and angarmarim men; you will be role-playing the small group of soldiers leading either platoon.
