It's SUMMER. It's HOT. You thought it was normally hot in Mordor? You thought it was normally hot on the slopes of Mt. Doom?! THINK AGAIN. It's hotter than the hottest patch of sand in farthest Rhûn when world is tipped at exactly the right angle for Arien's righteous fury to concentrate on it and turn it to glass. It's hotter than the ass end of a fell beast that flew too close to the top of the mountain when it was erupting. It's hotter than Írimë coming out of a nude hot spring Baywatch style. IT'S FREDDING HOT, PEOPLE, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY A/C.
Come one come all to On the Rocks try and beat the heat with drink, commiserations, and doubtless shenanigans.

The Haradrim Army
We Wants You, Preciousss! Enlist today!
‘What the Lord Denethor may know or guess of all these things I cannot say,’ answered Hirgon. ‘But indeed our case is desperate. My lord does not issue any command to you, he begs you only to remember old friendship and oaths long spoken, and for your own good to do all that you may. It is reported to us that many kings have ridden in from the East to the service of Mordor. From the North to the field of Dagorlad there is skirmish and rumour of war. In the South the Haradrim are moving, and fear has fallen on all our coastlands, so that little help will come to us thence. Make haste! For it is before the walls of Minas Tirith that the doom of our time will be decided, and if the tide be not stemmed there, then it will flow over all the fair fields of Rohan, and even in this Hold among the hills there shall be no refuge.’ (Return of the King)
Ever wanted to play as a Haradrim warrior? Ride fearsome Mumaks and maybe giant desert scorpions?
Don't want to join the army? Not a problem! Be a merchant or a shop owner, an assassin, a spy, or a Haradrim diplomat going to other kingdoms!
Ranks and Branches of the Army
Cavalry- Recruit, Scout, Lancer, Heavy Cavalry, Mounted Serpent Guard
Footmen- Recruit, Scout, Swordsmen or Spearmen, Veteran Swordsmen or Spearmen, Serpent Guard
Mumakil mahouts: Apprentice beastmaster, Seasoned beastmaster, Veteran beastmaster, Master beastmaster, Legendary beastmaster
Hasharin or assassins: Recruit, Apprentice spy or assassin, Seasoned spy or assassin, Veteran spy or assassin, Master spy or assassin,

Dol Guldur is here!
"The Greenwood is sick, Gandalf. A darkness has fallen over it. Nothing grows anymore, at least nothing good. The air is fouled decay, but worst are the webs."
- Radagast, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
The year is 3014 and the Shadow of the Hill of Sorcery is stirring once more, abuzz with foul intentions and devious mechanization. Under the watchful eye of the Black Easterling, Dol Guldur is preparing for the great wars to come. Orcs are gathering, along with wolves, spiders, vampires, foul spirits of the forest, and desperate men, all heeding the call of the Dark Lord.
With myriad locations to choose (from the Fortress to the Cave of the Whispers to the Spider Dens), there is enough space here to tell whatever story you want to see played out. Be sure to visit the Shadowthrone though, and present yourself before the Lonely Lord himself.
Come! The forest awaits...

Minas Morgul – The Dead City
Minas Morgul has arrived in Free RP form! Near the mouth of the Morgul Vale on the rocky knees of the Ephel Dúath, Minas Morgul sits, keeping a ceaseless watch in the arms of the valley. Once the silver-shining city of Minas Ithil, the Tower of Dark Sorcery now glows with a constant, sickly, green-tinged corpse-light, its every corner permeated by the dark power of its master, the Lord of the Nazgûl; the Witch-king of Angmar, and his minions. With a plethora of locations to choose from, from the Witch-king's tower itself to the libraries, military barracks, theatre of the macabre, marketplace, pub, kennels, fighting spider pits, and more, where will you choose to explore? What kind of minion will you be? How high will you rise?
The year is TA 3014, but all years of Minas Morgul are open to your machinations. Will you dare?

Have you ever wanted to take an artic adventure into Forochel as a polar bear? A Lossath trying to survive in one of the harshest lands in Middle-earth? Or perhaps as a trader looking to exchange goods for exotic furs and pelts or art and items that you can only get from the Lossath? Delve into the wild and harsh lands of Enedwaith as a Dunlending? See how long you might be able to survive on your wits and wills in the badlands? Dig up ancient bones of nameless creatures long dead since the ages before the Sun and Moon?
Either land at the Far reaches of Arnor falls well beyond the reach of Lords or Kings, leaving you safe from reprisal from them and able to forge your own path.
Set in TA 3014 but you are welcome to change what year you are in for your own stories!

Come and create a character for a Pathfinder 1.0/Plaza RP hybrid. With simplified mechanics, and a precoded character sheet for ease of character creation.
The Eastern Paths are in motion in the Fourth age during the reign of King Eldarion - and he fears that Harad and the Kingdoms of the east are falling away from the peace that his father created and he has managed to maintain for sometime.
What darkness could threaten such a peace? There is only one way to find out.
(well two - if you want to do an evil player campaign that is welcome as well either simultaneously or instead of a good campaign)

“There’s only one dragon in Bywater, and that’s Green!”
It's a new day, and a new Green Dragon Inn for summer! Come along for a cooling drink, a meal, some rousing stories, banter and pipeweed with friends, or to apply for a job! Miss Rosie Cotton and her staff are ready to offer a foaming mug and a smile to welcome you in. Who knows where the night will end when hobbits, friends, acquaintances (perhaps well-wishers and distant relations), travelers and visitors get together?
