It's that time again: Lava Snake Racing!! Bring your slitheriest serpents and climb the Winding Stair to the starting line at Cirith Ungol. Who will beat both snakes and hungry spiders to claim the title this time?!
All are welcome!

Lava Snake Racing II - Cirith Ungol

Come and see Mordor's latest attraction: The Warg Pits. In the caves under the Morannon are housed the Warg Pits. The caverns are extensive and there is room for hundreds of the beasts. It's your one stop warg shop for breeding, training, fighting, and recovery. Be advised that while all are welcome, this thread is for minion characters only, whether trainer or warg; Any Free Persons who have ventured this far into Mordor had best be in HEAVY disguise: the Wargs have excellent noses...

Thread may be used for free-RP, or for a mini-game within the fighting pits. There will be periodic optional Events and RP prompts.

Current event: it's whelping time! Come pick out your future champion warg from the pups, or play one of the ferocious little beasts.

Come have some fun at the Bruinen Winter Classic!
Come see if you can win the first ice fishing competition of the Plaza.

Lots of fun to be had!

Oh no! Gandalf is visiting Rohan - well is he named ill-news; because although he’s brought Shadowfax back to visit (Yay)! He hasn’t learned how to close doors.

Stable doors.

As a result, half of the horses in the stables have made it out and are now having a party around Meduseld...

It’s YOUR job to round them up and lead them back to the stables and fields where they belong! (Or alternatively, steal them and herd them off to wherever you choose.)

Come and round up some horses!

It's time for some SHENANIGANS!!! Come on down to the Mordor pop-up holiday pub for good times and mischief. All are welcome, good or evil or somewhere in between. A truce has been called and murder is off the menu- good times only!! Come sample the festive menu, exchange gifts, and blow off work. What more could you ask for?!

WHO WOULD YOU BE??

Come one, come all!! Come join in a new Plaza-wide RPG, featuring canon characters, canon-adjacent characters, your personal characters, and any mix of the three!

We hope this is going to be a large RPG, but we want it to move snappily and for everyone to have a chance to play some canon characters. What is the plot? We'll decide that once everyone comes in and tells us what canon characters they're interested in playing! That's right- you tell us in the signup thread which FOUR canon characters you would be interested in playing. Any character that would be alive in Middle Earth between the time of the Hobbit and the LotR is up for grabs!

Not sure what we mean by canon adjacent? Come to the thread and find out!

Not sure if you have time to commit to a big RP? That's ok- we're not looking for huge posts every time, and we're also implementing a rotating cast so roles will be covered if someone has to miss a prompt!

Not sure if you want to play, or just want to spectate? Come give us your top four canon characters anyway, and help influence the plot! ALL can list your choices!

Are you a writer? Do you adore writers? Come check out the new Plaza Writers group!

Everyone deserves to relax. Even the lowly minions of Mordor. That's why Reg and Fleeg have joined ChAoTiC forces and opened Mordor's first spa!

Lhûn Boat Racing is back!! Come claim your boat and race your way around the Gulf of Lhûn- can you prevail against giant sea crabs, unpredictable weather, and the antics of your fellow racers to win the day?! Only seven slots are available for racers, so hurry to the starting line before it's too late! All welcome, including spectators.

Winter Is Come Inn

Feeling hungry or thirsty? Perhaps in need of some fun and company? Got no coin? Well, don't worry, put up a performance - dance, sing, tell a story, what have you, and you get a meal! Whatever the case, come on in and make merry!

Yule is coming to the Shire and it’s a wonderful time of year! ...That is, until one day when little Nico Boffin disappears.
Hobbit parents have long warned their children that, if they misbehaved, the Krampus would come. Now, it seems, he finally has!

Come one, come all, to evade the terrifying Krampus!

"The sun is low and the storm clouds are nigh; come along ye jaded, long lost travelers and rest your weary heads. Listen to the tales of far away lands, revel in tales of heroes and villains, while away the hours by the fire and hear tales of romance and betrayal, of rendered hearts and skewered foes. Rest your tired bones a while, then, dear traveler, spins us a tale of your own glory and renown."

The Dumpster Dive

It's a "lovely day" and you are presumably a raccoon, because you're in Fangorn, and you have stumbled upon a vast and reeking dumpster! Tres exciting! Who knows what treasures may lurk within?! Some may have value, some may not. I (well Sil) invite(s) you to plunge into the noisome depths and see what you can retrieve…
