Lord of the Rings: Reign of the Great Eye

okay a 61 is decent...problem is were going Melkor's path...thanks guys...this is going to end in tears.

But I want to understand...why the heck did you guys chose that path particularly? Wanting order is nothing wrong, plus its the middle ground of sort that we can work with the forces of order while still being the magnificent bastard That cannon Marion was before he got corrupted by Morgoth.

and you guys want the discord...

you do realize that's basically what chaos is right?



Honestly i don't know very well this part of the lore of the lord of the ring; i just thought the name was cool and first among equals seemed to be an interesting bonus.

After like erratic wizard said we are not full discord, we will see how we evovle. Maybe that we can avoid the greatest errors of the past.
 
The First Strike of the Forge; Time: 666 Day:2, Evening
You offered to take to the forge, to create gifts and things to sell to those arriving. And so it was despite a great many people interfering or distracting you, along with vastly inferior materials to what you were used. That you forged a great many excellent pieces of weapon and armor.

1d100+30-20=95


Part way through the day there was active bidding over every single piece of metal that left your forge. So much so that you had multiple interested parties wanting to meet you, or promising to send people to discuss the finer points of forging.

You could have sworn that you saw a stocky short figure in the distance of the crowd who left holding one of your works...

Title gained: Melkor Nomad Forge Master
+To spread of reputation as a Smith of great renown


Regardless you had decided to embrace your full majesty as a Maiar. And thus even in your burned state you were great, and to the mortal men assembled this was shrouded, if thinly. However you were unsure of the magicians of these lands and their powers of sight.


You had at the end of day asked to forge one thing for yourself, and so it was that you threw all your remaining strength and attention from the night into one item. A vessel to contain the crystal that had fallen with you.

And as such you threw yourself into your work with great zeal once more. For this was to be no simple work. But a figure to prove that you could still create beyond the measure of any mortal. Painstakingly wrenching every inch of skill you could upon this metallic creation.

Special Forged Item (vote for one in each category)
Shape:
[ ] A hammer

[ ] A staff

[ ] A helmet

[ ] Other (write-in)


You could not forge such a masterpiece without bestowing a name upon it. Integeral to the enchantments and workings of it. And thus you would call it...

What shall it be named?

[ ] Hammer of the Underworld (applies to hammer)

[ ] Gaze of the Deciever (applies to staff)

[ ] Burden of Discord (applies to helmet)

[ ] Other (write-in)


And finally came a question of most perilous consequences, and intriguing reprecussuons. How much of your own fully manifest power would you bestow within this creation? For this would bind it to you most permanently, and grant you unique power over it over any else who may hold it. But it also left you exposed...you had learned not to go all in from prior experiences.

How much of your own power shall you invest into it?

[ ] 1-50% (write-in) (you refuse to invest more then 50% of yourself into anything. Cannot go past 50% of your power dispersed into any singular or set of items.)



At the end of your great labor you were exhausted, physically, mentally, and spiritually. But you were left with a most amazing creation. A wonder to match even your greatest smithed work from before, even if simply in grandeur and not function of itself.

It was then while you were eating and resting langidly in the evenings setting sun that an elf appeared. Tall and fair was he. Of blond hair, sun kissed skin, and the most piercing crystal blue eyes. His voice was for an elf as beautiful as you had ever heard.

He came to you in fair robe speaking honeyed words. For his were a prideful people, but even he and his kin were prone to recognize among the "lesser" races as they considered humans. What he offered was a deal, with far reaching consequences upon your potential future on this new world...

Strange Elf Offers: (you have to give as many as you take, certain things are worth more, you can take an item more then once for greater effect.)

[ ] Wealth

[ ] Materials

[ ] Influence

[ ] Connections

[ ] A Visitation Right to Ulthuan

[ ] A Job

[ ] Land

(write-in)

Melkors Offers:

[ ] Taking a Job Without Reward

[ ] A Personalized Item

[ ] A Contract

[ ] Other (write-in)


In the end you spoke long into the night with the fair stranger. He bid you a good night, and to find only success upon your path. And thus you rested and dreamt deeply with the crystal near at hand, viewing back on times long past now.

Sorry it took me longer to produce and update then I thought. As per usual if you have any questions please ask away guys c:!

[X] Plan: Melkor's finest Arms and Armor! (what can go wrong?!? :evil:)
Special Forged Item:
-[X] Blade-Staff (1/3 blade 2/3 staff...the blade is at the top part of the staff)
-[X] Disorders Bane
-[X] 30% of Power
Strange Elf Offers:
-[X] Materials
-[X] Land
Melkors Offers:
[X] A Personalized Item
[X] A Contract

Okay heres the idea of the plan, a staff is a excellent tool not to mention putting swords blades on it can be extremely helpful in a pinch.

anyway the idea is naming it disorders bane was to be our weapon against chaos...and if it can grow stronger with time? all the better!
As for the Land and Materials...as a blacksmith were going to want territory, as well as the materials needed to keep making the good stuff, plus we can use those materials to get wealth and connections with time.
As for ourselves, we give a single personalized item and a contract for a time...the details can be given later but if we happen to be able to make Uruk-Hai from Dark Elves and some other bandits? then all the better to get our little empire started, first we use them as our personal guards…after having them heavily trained to hunt monsters in the surrounding area.

This would give us a mercenary outfit for the region, plus we can make minor magical weapons and armor to give them good armor and ward saves, as well as magic weapons to negate any nasty resistances…

and if we happen to find skaven, we can sharpen their teeth on the rats!
 
Interesting, do keep in mind the item you Forged is supposed to contain the crystal you brought with you as well.

With that in mind your plan is reasonable c: if it ends up being a bladestsff that'll be fun lol.
 
I reserve the right for the choice of hammer, staff, helmet to come up again later xD. As these are all awesome item ideas that I feel you guysll want access to later.

Ok, while I consider...


Did you mean "stocky" ?

seems like the dwarves might be coming into play...or skaven...depends really.

Otherwise the combo of Skyrim and Dragon age 2 staff-blade is awesome in my mind...the reason I changed the name? Well its still the staff, the crystal is on the other end of the blade embedded among the twisting metal to prevent real damage to it. (look at its image in the dragon age 2 trailer...pause it on the staff blade itself. that's where the crystal is)

reason I gave it 30% of our power is to make it a extremely potent magical artifact, while it wont be the one ring in terms of "FUCK YOU!" (considering the function of the one ring is speculated to give a massive power boost by taping into Morgoth's power that he placed into Arda during the time he was on Arda itself).

Also the name is to pretty much reveal Marion/Melkor is moving on from his old master, and is being a Little-Shit/Magnificent Bastard again. Mostly because of pride driving him to make a weapon that would be narrative wise Discord's Bane...aka Chaos has no fucking business being around. We are here to bring Order and Punch some Elves...we already had the elf leave so for now we need to bring some order!

The Forging, The Song, The Deal
You Forged the first and possibly one of the mightiest in a new line of relics. Despite it's material composition you created something with great prowess and craft.

Creating a beautiful weapon akin to those of Kings even. Crafted much in the image if the elven folk. For it is a staff of great majesty, capped with a blade of finest edge.

Nestled at the top of this staff like a mighty scepter you crowned the gem. A great crystal that echoed your song of discord from a darker age.


And into this mighty artifice you placed a portion of your own power. Lesser then half, yet still enough to embibe a truly terrible shadow of your power onto this weapon. It would deserve a name worthy of it's caliber....a name came to you from the brilliant depths of your mind. You would call it Disorders Bane, a call back to your hate of all things chaotic in nature.


The elf to you had offered a great many things, if you were any lesser man you'd have surely fallen for his elven guile. But you of course we're a great deciever of men, and elves. And so he was nothing before your silver tongue. And you longed to visit this fair isle of his...

Hidden Trait revealed! Beauty in Craft!

As such in your dealings you agreed on a few simple things. He would help provide you with materials and land. Along with a visit to his fair isle in one year at the latest, and you would craft for him an item of his choosing, along with signing an agreement that would benefit him in future dealings with you or on your behalf.


When you slumbered, Disorders Bane sang to you in your dreams, tales of creatures of myth called upon by you long before...these images were starting to become a dream of sorts that almost seemed to want your voice to join in it's creation.

You...
[ ] Followed the tune with your own
[ ] Ignored the tune and delved deeper into dreamless sleep

A song of...(pick one only if you vote to follow the tune)
[ ] A song of Beasts
[ ] A song of Servants
[ ] A song of Crafts
 
[X] Followed the tune with your own
[X] A song of Servants

I'm not convinced that going for craft will improve things further, not with the Disorder.
