Purpose of..
The Warband : War of the Ring Rolepalying-Campaign is to and always will be provide an immersion experience for the FoA community to relive and enjoy Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-Earth.
Our goal being to provide an immersion experience of Middle-Earth we must stress that focus will not be on combat. Combat is a tool to bring to light a more memorable experience in our remade world of Middle-Earth and should be treated so Players who come here seeking only points on the scoreboard will be removed from our community with little warning. Battlefields will be treated with the utmost realism and players will make sure their characters act accordingly.
We do not require players to be exquisite writers or veteran roleplayers, but they should always approach the War of the Ring with the knowledge that this is a Roleplaying-Campaign.

Hail and welcome to the project thread for the Warband online roleplaying-campaign, War of the Ring. There has been a good deal of work to set the foundation of this project and there is still a good deal of work to do before we will reach our completion goal.
The campaign will be an immersive roleplaying campaign where players will create a character and join a fellowship which can take part in military conquests and epic quests to decide the fate of Middle-Earth. The first chapter of the campaign will be based around the lands south of Minas Tirith and include two factions that fellowships may side with - all played out on our multiplayer Warband servers.
You do not have to join [FoA] to take part, create fellowships, or create characters in the campaign. All you have to do is register on our forums and create a character to begin your adventure today. We invite all clans and players to come and make fellowships to fight for the fate of Middle-Earth.
A great deal of work is still needed before our campaign goes live. If you are talented in mapping, modding, or have any other skill that may be of use please visit our forums if you wish to join our development team. This task is far to much for the team we have now. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to contribute in some way to the project. Register on our forums now and begin your preparations for the final battles of the Third Age retold by You.
We hope that by focusing on small sections of Middle-Earth we can advance slowly towards our final goal and not become overwhelmed in the process, while at the same time providing an unparalleled immersion experience to Middle-Earth. Will your character be there when the shadow awakes? Will your character be there when the black gates open? Will your character be there when all the world if aflame and no hope remains? Will your character be chosen to bear a burden that I have not the courage to say?
