.: Welcome to this RPG forum based mainly in J.R.R.Tolkien’s books concerning the Lord of the Rings. This forum takes place after the War of the Ring amidst the new challenges and problems of an ever-changing world. We hope you enjoy your time here… we have done so for the past 4 years! Join a grand army; develop your character into one of the most mighty men or women in the world. Or find yourself peacefully walking in the gardens of Lothlórien... We wait for you here, in Middle Earth. :.
The Fourth Age and the later ages that followed it, are time periods from J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth, described in his fantasy writings. Because most of his fiction concerning Middle-earth deals with earlier ages, there is relatively little material on these later ages that followed the Third Age.
The Fourth Age followed the defeat of Sauron and the destruction of his Ruling Ring, but did not officially begin until after the Bearers of the Three Rings left Middle-earth for the Uttermost West.
Realms of Men prospered, as the re-united Númenórean kingdoms in exile (as the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor) fully recovered under Elessar and later Eldarion. Lasting peace was made with former Mannish enemies: at least some Easterlings and Haradrim either became allies, or even became part of the Reunited Kingdom; in the appendices it states that Éomer fulfilled the oath of Eorl by riding with Elessar to war on the plains of Harad and beyond the sea of Rhûn, so fighting would continue with at least some of the Men who had allied with Sauron in the past. Many former slaves of Sauron were freed, and given land in Mordor around the sea of Núrnen for their own. Allied realms such as Rohan and Esgaroth also prospered, as did the protected enclaves of the Shire and the Woses of Ghân-buri-Ghân.
After repulsing three great assaults from Dol Guldur during the War of the Ring, the elves of Lórien subsequently managed to rid the forest of Mirkwood of any evil (which mostly resided in Dol Guldur). It is also said that Celeborn took many boats of elves, ready for war down the river Anduin and attacked Dol Guldur for, Galadriel herself threw down its walls and lay bare to its pits; thus the forest was cleansed. Later on, Celeborn and Thranduil met in the midst of the wood and named it Eryn Lasgalen. The Silvan realms in Eryn Lasgalen (Thranduil's realm and Celeborn's East Lórien) seem to have expanded somewhat, although much of its population gradually departed to the West. The Grey Havens and with it the rest of Lindon were abandoned, save for Círdan and a few others, who remained behind. For at least a while an Elven colony founded in Ithilien was led by Morwen, a descendant of Gil-Galad..
The Dwarves of Durin's Folk prospered in Erebor, and there are indications Gimli led a group of dwarves to Aglarond. Mining expeditions were sent to Khazad-dûm where mithril was again mined, used to restore the gates of Minas Tirith, but Khazad-dûm was not immediately recolonized. There are however indications that a Durin the Last later did rebuild this Dwarven Kingdom, returning Durin's Folk to their ancestral homes. Apparently the Dwarven race began to dwindle by the end of the Fourth age, for their women made up less than a third of their population. Often, the women would want a husband that they couldn't have and so would not marry. Similarly, many Dwarven men were too engrossed in their crafts and did not have the time to take a wife and have children. Their ultimate fate is unclear.
Little did anyone knopw of the sudden darkness that spread in once Angmar, now Atalantë, where the new tribes of wolves, trolls and dark bats assembled to bring back darkness to Angmar and regain its control. Darkness also rose in the East, Mordor was being reconstructed, Rhun gained power and the hidden city of Khánd prospered under the alliance between the three kingdoms of the Easterlings: Umbar, Harad and Khánd.
Darkness spreads over Middle Earth will you help defend it or bring it all to darkness? The decision is all yours...
An RPG Based in J.R.R.Tolkien’s books but takes place during the Fourth- Fifth Age after the War of the Rings.

Giving such an answer… Was this person messing with him on purpose? Even though only for a small moment, Sachio had to wonder about that when the words he was hearing hit him with their meaning. He had been focused on this stranger's actions at first, nearly mesmerized, for some reason, by that finger that toyed with the blond locks, right in front of him, so close that he could reach out and do the same if he had wished to. But that was not what he wanted. Contact wasn't the essential piece of this game, but only necessary to further the plot along. He just cared for keeping this person close until his interest would leave him, until he considered that he had studied him or her enough, or simply up to when something even more striking, more intriguing would come along. Therefore, it shouldn't matter that the first reply had been that kind of a rude attempt at refusing. It shouldn't even matter if the person wasn't smart enough to express coherent ideas at that point, although the situation was pretty simple. Even so, Sachio had to admit that the follow-through had been pretty quick once the blunder had ended.
On the other hand, he had never understood the need of people, that impulse that made them try to lie and complicate things instead of just speaking their minds when nothing important was really at stake. If it had been him in this one's place, and he had been adverse to the proposition, Sachio would have just replied with a normal I don't want to. And that would be it. Offense? Perhaps, but it wasn't his fault if people couldn't understand that refusal existed in the world, and could actually happen. Others said they felt hurt in such instances, but he had always thought that to be very dramatic. Being turned down was a normal part of life, and Sachio surely wouldn't have felt devastated, or even sad if he had been told a simple no then and there; his only regret would have been not getting his way. And since in the end he had obtained a yes, as he had hoped, he could indeed not care any less about whether the person felt cornered into going with him or not. They'd get over it.
"Come on, then. I know a coffee shop nearby," he offered. "It's small and quiet."
Without much consideration, but not violently or even abruptly either, Sachio reached out once more for the same hand that had been withdrawn from him just moments earlier. He tried to smile towards the person, although he was sure not to have done that the correct way. That way which people would call 'sincere'. Honestly, he had no idea what they meant by that. Smiling was something everyone out there did plenty of times even when not actually feeling like it. His faded quickly, with him not feeling the need to prolong such an act. When his hand reached its target, he didn't clasp the wrist this time, however, but much rather sought the palm, tracing it with his fingers until he could hold hands with the person, distracting him from his own hair, and start his attempt at pulling him away. Sachio supposed, after all, that 'he' was more accurate, or hit the mark more closely. Or perhaps there simply was something appealing about the fact that the clothes wanted to say otherwise, and his categorization defied that. Either way, he began to lead what he had decided to think of as a cross-dressing male for now further along the sidewalk, firmly enough to imply that he'd like to be followed, but also leaving room for opposition should there be any.
The coffee shop the young man had in mind was a pretty familiar place to him, since this wasn't the first time he had wandered in the area to take his numerous pictures. Far from it, actually. Some of the staff would even recognize him as a regular, although they were certain to find it odd that he would come in such company today. As odd as, perhaps, they were thought of by these people just passing by and gifting them with sideway glances right at that very moment. Or maybe Sachio was just imagining it in most cases, although definitely some of the faces his gaze encountered did show curiosity, to say the least. Either way, he was not the target, he was sure, or he was only second on their list, in the worst case; and even if he had been the center of attention, really, he wouldn't have cared much. Sachio thought quite well of himself. However, something else stopped him and caused him to let go of the hand he had just grabbed moments ago. He turned back around to face the person he had become interested in, once more.
"What's your name?" he asked, in his somewhat accented English. "I'm Sachio."

Re: Captured In Stillness « Result #9 on Jul 3, 2008, 6:08pm »
It returned. A throbbing of blood that his brain swam in, clouding over his vision in a horribly blurry veil of what felt like a drunken state of confusion. There was a wonderful drink that caused a person to feel exactly like that, but Morgan couldn’t but his finger on the name. It must not have tasted very good after all. Either that or the hangover was hell and he erased the flavor and title of it completely from his memory bank. But this headache wasn’t the effect of a long night drinking, though he honestly wished it were. Those went away after awhile. But these…these lasted forever. No escaping the painful concentration he maintained throughout the day in order to prevent his useless ability from leaking through onto some poor unexpecting soul. Though they weren’t always formed in such intensity.
And because of this, the only true sanctuary from this frightening world was his trashed up apartment. By living alone he needed not fear inflicting harm upon a roommate, and he really only ventured out to go to work and buy groceries. It was a rather dismal life. But nothing ever happened, which he was thankful for. He was content living in such a way, day to day in the monotony of the spinning Earth, where he avoided human contact as much as possible for his own protection, and had no idea what was allowing a rat like him to continue living.
Of course, venturing out into the world was something unplanned. And he definitely had not expected something to happen to him on that ordinary day of worthlessness. So it was, in fact, quite shocking to him that someone would stop him, reach out and take hold of his wrist in their own soft hand. But the action caused him to freeze him his steps, turning his head confusedly in a single fluid motion. Every nerve in his body screamed to run, was jumping with anticipation, but he couldn’t bring himself to move. Tear himself away. And it took a moment for the face to register in his memory as the person from earlier. The boy with the camera. Or man. Though the first glance triggered the idea that this person was not a full-fledged adult; Morgan had never been good with ages in the first place, but he always tried guessing anyways.
When the shock of being detained had settled a bit, instinct took over and he abruptly freed his hand from the grasp of this stranger. It was an odd position, the arm becoming near parallel to his torso as the wrist twisted and his knuckles grazed his shoulder, the fingertips pointing towards the heavens. But when it sent a dull pain through his elbow, it straightened and he cupped his cheek, the opposite hand reaching up to tug at flimsy ringlet. Twirl it around his index finger as he took a couple defensive steps backwards, eyeing the person carefully.
And yet he could not leave. Curiosity (or paranoia, take your pick) held him rooted in place to the spot in which he stood. Staring. Just staring. Possible scenarios as to why this person had grabbed his attention flew through his mind. He wasn’t in debt. He couldn’t remember stealing anyone’s girlfriend (not surprisingly). The only reasonable solution was that this person was lost and trying to get directions.
So it was very much of a shock when he finally spoke, asking for a date. No. More like demanding. And how does one respond to such an out of the blue request?
Lie. Make excuses. There were plenty. I can’t… My dog is sick, I need to take him to the vet. I’m on my way to my sister’s wedding. I have to baby sit my niece. My father died, I’m on the way to his funeral.
Oh yes. Those will definitely work. Or they might have, had not Morgan in his flustered state combined all of them into a panicking jumbled mess of, “I can’t. My dead sister’s dog is marrying my niece at my father’s funeral that I’m babysitting……That was not what I wanted to say.”
Yes, Morgan, that was very ridiculous.
Sighing and pressing both hands to his face, he lowered himself to a squatting position, trying to cover the color that had crept into his cheeks. How awkward. How embarrassing. Nothing would have been better than to be swallowed up by the concrete he had been trying to take over only moments earlier. Buried alive. A frightful thought, really, but much better than to suffer through the humiliation that was bound to come.
But to the invitation, someone with his voice answered, “Yes.”

Beautiful…?
That single word had the effect of slowing time down for Sachio, in immediate perception at least. He watched the person he had been interested enough in to drop all principles, all inhibitions, all psychological mechanisms, and to attempt to take an unauthorized, maybe unwanted picture of, drift by him and utter that single word. His eyes fixated themselves on the small movements of the lips even as the act of speech, brief as that, was being committed. He didn’t know what the comment referred to; obviously not himself, in his view. No one went around passing by strangers and calling them that without an explanation, or without the daring tone of mindless time-wasters.
Nothing in here is beautiful… but you.
This person… impossible to class as ‘he’, as ‘she’… was so very much the opposite of pretty, of elegant, of physically appealing. So very much indeed, that somehow they had ended up more interesting than any standards of what one could imagine. No physical attraction was the reason for why he slowed his breath to a minimum, but the mere desire to keep the moment, to make it immortal in one’s memory at least, since it had transcended past where a photograph would suffice. It was not something you saw every day. It was what other people scowled or raised amused eyebrows at, the kind of person that people pitied and ostracized at the same time, simply for being different. And also, the type that drew him into contemplation, that acted as a stimulus to his imagination.
Such an illusion.
He could not let them go now.
From the lips, Sachio’s eyes drifted lower, searching frantically for some way to cling to this person, while his mind was just as desperate to discover some pretext that could be offered in favor of stalling them. It was just… every fiber of his subconscious screaming at him to not let this element of uniqueness slip away from his grasp, if it had gotten so close. Unthinkingly almost, he sent out his free hand and intercepted the person’s own, grabbing their wrist… seemingly around just as fragile and thin as his own. He wasn’t abrupt and violent in any way when he detained the one he was so interested in, but he was sudden and possessed of the clear intention of stopping them. His hold was no more and no less than what was needed to convey that idea wordlessly: stay, or wait at least and hear me out.
Now, of course, he would be expected to say something. Except the young man’s brain was pretty much frozen, still sunk below the frivolous enthusiasm of how interested he had become in only a few moments, of how many questions that weren’t even formed yet he would have to ask the one he was stopping. His lips parted slightly, but nothing came out aside from a small sudden sound that would hardly mean anything to anyone, and then he cleared his throat as some measure of common sense flooded back into him. He felt the familiar slightly burning sensation of a somewhat embarrassing thing flood up the nape of his neck and into his cheeks, but he doubted any color overtook his features. He’d never been impressionable to the point where he’d show it on the outside.
It was clearly time to say something just as stupid and desperate as the thing he had just done.
“Go on a date with me,” he just randomly asked the first thing that came to his mind. “Today… Now.”
He was pretty amazed that he had gone that far himself. It was not that he actually had any romantic interest here… at least as far as he could tell. Come to think better of it, he didn’t even have an idea of what to actually define as ‘romantic interest’. He had always had a problem growing attached to people; the only things that caught his interest in the want-to-see-you-again fashion had been places. Until this person. Or not quite. It wasn’t the same thing here, more of a don’t-want-to-lose-you-from-sight-just-yet. So he tried to calm himself down interiorly and dismiss the stupidity of what he had just asked. He’d probably shocked the poor person enough that they’d be so confused as to actually accept. In fact, he hoped it had been that.
