.: 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...
