Howdy folks! Welcome to the Realm of Mandos!
Mandos’ Forum
Traits that can be attributed to those that are in the Realm of Mandos are:
-being truthful
-concerned with fairness
-enjoyment of Knowledge/Learning
-enjoying random conversations
-humor (and lots of it)
A few things we will specialize in include:
-playing LotR games (and lots of them!)
-Coming up with suggestions for new plausible things to put in the games section of the site.
-Being model citizens and helping to acclimate newbies. Cause they need love too.
-Being a home to Canadians. So far, we have over nine thou–err, six outspoken members from the Northern Country!
-Brainstorming new ideas for the humor section and writing humorous articles, parodies, or photoshopping various LotR pictures.
-Not everyone is funny (well actually they are, but they may not REALIZE it…), so as well members of the Realm of Mandos can search out and write articles for Newsletter.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM the realm head, lordoftheringer

Right, this page is supposed to get updated
Sorry about that. Will try to do better.Come check out our Realm Party, September 17th to October 1st! It’s a great way to learn more about our realm, and a chance to wish a very happy birthday to Kat and Song. Realm parties are in the General Realms forum.Also, we just did the annual inactive member purge. I was super-careful, but if I somehow deleted someone who’s still interested in being part of Mandos, you’re certainly welcome to join again (nobody was kicked out permanently, not that that’s ever needed to happen). Inactive members (who haven’t posted in at least 6 months) are taken off the roster once a year so potential new Mandosians don’t mistakenly come to think that we have over one hundred active members. |

But hurry–the deadline for nominations is April 17!Even if you’re not interested in running, stay tuned and VOTE in the election! |

The Realm of Mandos is once again playing Mafia! Participants are still needed, so come sign up in the Wheeee! forum.Thanks to Saelryth_Windstalker for overseeing the game![edit Feb22] It’s been changed to be Inter-Realm Mafia, instead! Check it out in the General Realms forum! Round 1 is closed to new participants, but you can still watch the proceedings. Could a Mandosian be the Mafia? We’ll find out… |

Cleaning up the Realm
One of our lesser-used forums has been converted into a large Skeleton Closet, where unused threads are being temporarily stored. If they remain unused, eventually they will be deleted. The realm is looking much less cluttered, though. I mean, some of those threads hadn’t been touched since 2005!Meanwhile, we’re starting up several new games, including Hide and Seek and a semi-spooky role-play set within our very own Halls of Mandos, all in the Wheeeee! forum. Come by and check it out! If you post in Mandos, your name will be added to the “Active Members” list, and you’ll win fabulous prizes you won’t be deleted come the late spring/early summer inactive member purge. |

Once more, with feeling…
Time for the semi-biennial changing of the realm staff! We have a new realm head, TurinGwoheyuloi, who’s looking forward to getting Mandos active again! Many thanks to Merides, HaldirofLorien13 and Mellwen for their work as leaders. |
Námo, better known as Mandos, is one of the two Fëanturi (the other being his brother Irmo or Lórien), masters of spirits. Námo is older, and appropriately, dwells in Mandos, from which his common name is derived. He summons the spirits of those slain and keeps them in the Houses of the Dead. The Houses of the Dead grow ever larger as time passes due to the necessary housing of more and more souls.
The Halls are decorated with the storied webs of Vairé the Weaver, his wife. Mandos alone knows all that was and all that will be, except for that which has not been decided yet by Ilúvatar. He is often called the Doomsayer of the Valar due to his knowledge of the future, but he does not share this knowledge nor his judgments unless Manwë bids him to.
The purpose of the Realms is to increase the sense of community of CoE members by allowing them to join together with other members that share their interests. Realms are designed to be fun and interesting to all members and to maintain an environment that is stable and beneficial to all of those involved, guidelines and rules have been developed for Realms Members to follow and are listed below. By joining a Realm, you agree that you
have read these guidelines and you also agree to adhere by the rules and acts that violate this charter can and will be dealt with at the Admin of that Realm’s discretion.
--In your signature you may either mention that you are a member of a particular realm OR you may place an insignia ( created for you. This is not mandatory, however should you choose to mention your realm in your signature file, you may NOT brag about your Realm, mention any other Realm, or say anything otherwise demeaning about any other Realm. Those who violate this rule will be forced to change their signature and may have the ability to place anything Realms related into their signature taken away.
--The rules that apply to the main site still apply to the Realms. Any violation of these rules may cause your Realm to lose points and the removal of a member.
--Realm Points: the members, for certain deeds and actions around the site, may accumulate Realm Points. Just as Realm Points may be gained, they may also be lost for bad behavior (i.e. breaking of rules). A record of these points is kept and after a month, the Realm Points are compared to those of other Realms to decide a ‘winner’. The winning Realm may, for a temporary period of time, have an acknowledgement on the front page and an insignia will be placed below the members’ avatars. Keep in mind that it is okay to mention that your Realm has won the competition for that month, but any defamation of other Realms or the members therein is not allowed.
--Removal of Members: Actions that warrant the removal of the violating member are:
--Defamation of other Realms or Realms members.
--Excessive rule breaking.
--ANY kind of fight with another Realms Member, may they be in your Realm or not.
--Rudeness or offensiveness to other Realms Members.
--Excessive negativity.
--Anything that will disrupt the Realms environment and deliberately cause discomfort to another member. Please use common sense: you know what is and is not polite and acceptable.
All decisions about penalties for these acts are up to the judgment of the overseeing admin.
