Post ooc for Winter's Deep
on: April 19, 2006 07:32
It is the time of Helm Hammerhand and the Long Winter has made itself known. It has been four years since Helm struck Freca, since Helm declared that Freca’s son, Wulf and all his kin and loyalties enemies to Rohan. Fresh assault has fallen upon Rohan and the Dunlending once loyal to Freca are now led by his son for Wulf seeks the throne of Helm. Rohan is weak and no aid from Gondor can be sent. The telling begins on the day before Wulf comes to Edoras, before Helm flees to the Hornburg.

Ealdor, friend to Helm’s son Haleth returns one night from an outride to hear news that Wulf is coming and Helm still decides on what he is to do. But the choice is soon made for those of Edoras when Wulf, the Dunlendings and other enemies to the Rohirrim overrun Rohan and Edoras is taken. Helm flees to the deep. But in the madness Ealdor must search for his sister and he witnesses the fall of Haleth defending the door to Meduseld.

Things become more interesting here; Ealdor now wants vengeance for his friends murder and so knowing the forces of Rohan are not at their peak he decides to take the guise of a Dunlending. At the Hornburg, Ealdor’s family discover that he is among the missing and fear that he has been enslaved by Wulf. Now Ealdor’s siblings, Gloedwine his brother and his sister Indryhten begin to search for those willing to brave the cold of the Long Winter to return to Edoras and face Wulf to save a brother.

~*~

This is still a thought very much in the process, but I hope you get the general idea. The types of characters needed for this thread are Men. Meaning, no hobbits, elves and so on. That said both the good and the bad would be needed for this thread, such as the roles of Helm or Wulf, Dunlendings and Rohan warriors, the number of maidens will be limited also. I will be playing, Ealdor and Indryhten. The role of Gloedwine has already been claimed by gwendeth. :love:

I’m looking for lengthy/detailed posts, and yes, that means more then one paragraph. (At least 2-3 of detail would be nice.) Any ideas, twists and turns in the plot are welcome and are to be discussed here first. I would like this thread to be posted in, somewhat regularly to keep it moving and it will be a scripted thread and hopefully based in TT.

Anyone interested should post here or PM me, Eveligh to join.

Eve! You're making me create *more* characters! That's so evil!

It sounds very interesting indeed. *nod nod* You seem to like Rohan a lot, so that's good I'll see what I can do about characters.

Crazy character making....

Yay! Frédel is done and ready for any possible critique!

Oh and because she's tied to Wulf, I'd be willing to take on that character if no one else wants to take him. I have some ideas for him anyway. Let me know if I have to make a profile for him too.

I'm going to create one more character for the RP. He'll probably just be some Rohirric Rider that journeys with the brother and sister for whatever reason. I have no ideas as of right now but I'll come up with somethin'.

Hooray for starting threads!

Hooray for character profiles! I finished Wulf the other day.

Just so you know, I may be slow with posting over the next month or so. Next week is the last week of classes, and then evil finals so... Busy busy busy! I'll try to post when I can, but bear with me!

Heys! Awesome profiles, Annûniel!

Just so you know - I'm working on the first post for Gloedwine - have gotten a bit 'sidetracked', however, because I've got to do some data entry stuff for my hubby (and it's due on Saturday) - so I'll get the post up as soon as I can.

ok Eveligh, I've made up a profile for a Rohirric rider, here's the link:

here

He's more of a work in progress; I'll probably add more depth to his character later. But for now thats all I have time for.

So my character not going to be that involved until the siblings leave the Hornburg to find Ealdor, and then he (I've called him Beorlaf) will join them.

I can't wait to get started!

Gwen!!! Ok.. Lol Sorry but we were in a Rohan rpg awhile back

I'd like to join.. if you don't mind. I can play either a really nasty male character named Navinai... I'm not sure if he's in the db or not or I can play a half-elven maid called Ramo. Either one is fun.. Just let me know which you'd rather ^_^

Just a note saying that gwendeth and I are working through a ost at the moment and that should be up soon enough.

Also welcome to the thread Lizzy B! I have sent you a pm with details and have also sent one along to Annuniel. I'm just working through a few things at the moment, such as how long it will take the Rohirrim to reach the Hornburg when we come to that. As well as other finer details, so bear with me.

Yes, I feel terrible for Beomund. It was hard to write it actually...

It appears my computer was just hiccuping or something. Cause it appears just fine at this point. I don't understand it either, but I know I shouldn't be complaining!

Sadly, I am going to be rather busy for the next few weeks anyway. I am going with my college to the Yearling sales. (Which means we'll be selling the college's yearlings (horses)). We're selling 6 or 7 at the New Jersey Classic, and then the rest (5 I believe) at another sale in Maryland. The classic is the weekend of the 9-11th of Sept and the one in Maryland is the next weekend.

I'll be busy so I don't know how much I can go about posting but I'll try my best! :love:

*looks about* I know we've been very quietly lately but that won't be for too much longer. At the moment it seems we're all working on posts, so I'm just making a note on that.

Also, I have a new character introduction coming up soon. Of course you both know about this. Her profile is here, welcome Ryd!

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry that this thread stalled. I had big issues with my internet for the past month and so I couldn't get online. Hopefully thats no longer a problem and we can get this RP rolling along again.

As far as I can remember I was working on a post with both of you. I'm hoping I'll be able to get the chance to get those moving as well.

Oh no internet troubles! No wonder I didn't see you online... I'm glad you have gotten it all figured out!

I knew I should have finished my half of the shared RP... b/c now my computer is somewhat messed up! I'm currently using my dad's RP but as all my character info and such is on the old one, its difficult to make a post!

Anyway, I hope to get it fixed soon, but I may need a new motherboard for my laptop (as its decided to stop being able to recharge the battery). I'll keep you guys posted! I'm really sorry about this!
