Sauron has risen once more, his full, terrible power restored. Aragorn lies dead in front of the Black Gate along with almost all that followed him. Only Gandalf escaped to carry the message of the defeat.
Both King Brand of Dale and King Dain II of Erebor were slain by the easterlings. When word came of Sauron's defeat at the Pelennor Fields, the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain and the Men of Dale roused themselves, and threw back the invaders at a bloody cost.
Dol Guldur is in ruins, its mighty walls cast down by the Galadhrim before Sauron reclaimed the One Ring. Mirkwood and Lorien stand in alliance against the encroaching darkness, but with Lady Galadriel now unable to use Nenya there is no power on Arda able to contest with the enemy.
Hope has failed, and the valor of the Free People will only delay the inevitable. Running from the enemies reach is the only path left open to the people of Arda, else they resign themselves to slavery.
You are:
[] The Chieftain of the Dunedain, rightful king of Arnor and Gondor, now that Aragorn has passed into shadow and the Line of Anarion ended. Though, how long that remains true, remains to be seen. Evil things come down from the Misty Mountains, assaulting the scattered villages and towns of Eriador. The Dunedain that are left gather at Dor-En-Egladil, in preparation for a march to either Lindon or Dol Amroth.
[] A Dwarf Lord of the Ered Luin, descendant of those that fled from the ruins of Belegost and Nogrod. Long had you dwelt here, even after Thorin and Dain reclaimed Erebor. Now the time comes, that you may have to flee. Orcs, goblins, and worse creep down from the misty mountains. They've become bold now that their master has returned, and you cannot weather their assaults forever.
[] A proud lord of Gondor, in whom the blood of Numenor is still strong. Your father followed the new king to the Black Gates, and perished for it. Your two elder brothers followed him in death, and now only you and your sister remain. Your father ruled a rich and powerful city, and controlled a good part of the remaining Gondorian fleet. Now that Sauron has risen, it may be time to abandon these lands.
[] When Theoden King road away to war, the full might of Rohan could not go with him. The muster was rushed, in light of Gondor's peril, and some had to stay behind to defend the Mark from Sauron's forces. Now Theoden and Eomer are dead, and only Eowyn remains of the Eorl, and she is far away and within the enemies grasp. As the House of Eorl withers, the people of Rohan are left without leadership. The captains of the Mark meet now, to decide their kingdoms fate.
