🌱[LC] Middle-earth: The Waning of the Third Age

The Third Age is dying, but its ending has not yet been written. Begin anywhere in Middle-earth in the year 3018. Choose your people, calling, appearance, and starting place, then follow a life that may remain local or become entangled in the struggles of kings, wanderers, Elves, Dwarves, Rangers, and the servants of the Shadow. Guard a road in the lost North, trade beneath the Lonely Mountain, ride across Rohan, serve Gondor, seek forgotten lore, or take a path no song remembers. This is a lore-grounded open-world sandbox rather than a fixed retelling of the Fellowship's journey. History before the opening forms the world's past, but later meetings, victories, deaths, and alliances are not guaranteed. Distance matters, news travels imperfectly, famous figures pursue their own purposes, and choices made far from the great councils may still alter the end of the Age.
