[X] The House of Bëor

I wanted to play the House that literally lamed Satan with 8 wounds, but that is apparently not in the cards. The Dwarves are interesting, but this is moreso.

House of Bëor - Tolkien Gateway

Beren and Lúthien - Tolkien Gateway

Dagor Bragollach - Tolkien Gateway

Barahir - Tolkien Gateway

Dior - Tolkien Gateway

Much.

And, of course...

The Lay of Eärendil said:
From World's End then he turned away,
and yearned again to find afar
his home through shadows journeying,
and burning as an island star
on high above the mists he came,
a distant flame before the Sun,
a wonder ere the waking dawn
where grey the Norland waters run.

And over Middle-earth he passed
and heard at last the weeping sore
of women and of elven-maids
in Elder Days, in years of yore.
But on him mighty doom was laid,
till Moon should fade, an orbéd star
to pass, and tarry never more
on Hither Shores where mortals are;
for ever still a herald on
an errand that should never rest
to bear his shining lamp afar,
the Flammifer of Westernesse.

Not to be rude, but for any elven voters, your choice is very unlikely to win at this point. If you aren't to determined to keep your vote the same would you please consider voting for Durin's folk instead?

Let us play as folk who actually go about and do things instead of sitting in a mountain hall and collecting shiny baubles.

And, of course...

The Song of Durin said:
A king he was on carven throne
In many-pillared halls of stone
With golden roof and silver floor,
And runes of power upon the door.
The light of sun and star and moon
In shining lamps of crystal hewn
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night
There shone for ever fair and bright.

Well...one did ask for things of note, not heroic stuff.

Mmmmmmmm.

Well, I do like me some crafting. And it would be nice to not be a latecomer.

I like to think that all factions have the potential of rising to the top.

Dwarves and Men are both latecomers in a sense, being the Younger Races of Arda, and Dwarves actually woke after Men did. But since it took Men a few generations to make their way West (and into anything approaching relevance), they are thusly called the Latecomers.

Durin's Dwarves in particular wake up in the Misty Mountains, half a continent away from Beleriand. You will get to play from the game start, but you will definitely be 'late' in the sense that you won't be able to influence the wars with Morgoth or the events of the First Age for some time. Even if you abandon Khazad-dûm and march straight West, you will miss the arrival of Fëanor and Fingolfin, and the beginnings of the War of the Jewels.
 
Ok stay in the mountains, turn mountains into mega-FUCK-YOU-MORGOTH fortress of dwarves-kind...

Also proceed to laugh as elves do stuipid shit and grumble as fix Arda after their done making a mess and complain about dumb-hippy neighbors fucking the world up.
 
I'm really getting sick of the "hippy dippy elves" thing. Y'all realize that a bunch of Elves live in big, shining cities right now? The greatest of which is Gondolin?
And that Legolas and his dad ran a kingdom that lived under the ground? In a shadowy, spider-infested forest?

Frankly, if this does go Dwarves, the last thing we should do is "sit in our mountains and tank up", that's basically what Dwarves did last time, and look where it got them!

To be fair the Dwarves did very well out of the wars with Morgoth up until the Valar got involved and sunk the continent, flooding their main cities.

Assuming we can swing things more in our favor this time, there shouldn't be a need for that to happen.

I'd prefer to go front lines and build Boatmurdered v2.0 halfway up Morgoth's ass. Combat engineers all the way.

If we don't cheat so hard that a Balrog ends up in orbit around the moon (who is a guy in a luminescent sailboat right now) I am going to be disappointed.
