Retaking of Dol Guldur[I-Check]

[BetaWülf]

Dol Guldur

Former lair of the Necromancer; now known to be Sauron manifesting once more in Arda
Before the Battle of the Five Armies, Sauron was cast out from his Fortress
So he fled to Mordor, the land of Shadow
But Dol Guldur is a valuable strategic point
One that the Dark lord would not lightly forsake....


In the wake of Sauron's occupation of Dol Guldur, the Elves stationed a joint garrison with the Woodsmen and  Dwarves of Erebor
An... uneasy alliance at best given recent events, though the Dwarven presence is at a minimum

While many of the Ring Wraiths' are preoccupied with rallying the Orcs, Trolls, and Men whom have served the Dark Lord
Khamûl, however, has been tasked with retaking that which his Master desires
The old Fortress of Dol Guldur

With Khamûl marches a host of Orcs, Wargs, Trolls, and Evil Men.

---

So, for the purposes of this Side Mission, you are either part of Khamûl's(Huka) force attempting to retake Dol Guldur
Or
Part of the garrison tasked with making sure the fortress does not fall into enemy hands


Playable Species include the Following

Orcs
Elves
Trolls
Dwarves
(Good)Men(Evil)
Wargs

Everything listed(except Wargs) can hybridize with one another, so if you want to be hybrid, that'd likely be fine

Ideally, we'd be aiming for realism with this, so decapitating multiple people in one swing, felling Orcs like weeds, shooting arrows out of the air, and so forth, would not be in this thread(regardless of the presence of all of these in the films).


If you have any questions ask away! I'm very well versed in the lore and history of Middle-Earth

I'm up for this.

Sign up my Orc, Cargog the Vile.

I feel like I use him for everything Orcish now xD

I'm going to make at least one character for each side, so you wont be alone on the "good" side if you wanna go there, though it looks like most peeps are aiming towards the forces of Khamûl.

I'd like to join. I just don't know the species in LOR

That's perfectly fine Trooper, you'd be more than welcome to join!

These are our playable species for this RP, I've turned each species name into a link to images of good examples of fairly standard appearances for each species.

Orcs
Elves
Trolls
Dwarves
(Good)Men(Evil)(I added those perceived as good and evil in separate images, neither or actually either good or bad)
Wargs(Wargs are sapient to some degree, Orcs are the only species known to be able to communicate with them verbally as the Wargs speak in a very canid sounding tongue and the Orcs can only understand it mostly, unable to speak it fully)

Pretty much all the species listed are neither inherently evil nor inherently good, it is all a matter of perception and the individual's actions. They are all fairly intelligent as well, and aside from Men(the term used for Humans in Middle-Earth) and Wargs have lifespans exceeding a hundred years. Dwarves and Trolls commonly live to be around two hundred, Elves and Orcs live indefinitely unless slain, Wargs live into their sixties while the average Men normally top out at around seventy.

Orcs and Wargs are carnivores, while Trolls, Humans, Elves, and Dwarves are omnivores(though many Elves do not eat meat). They all procreate in the same manner and can all hybridize with one another.
