Description:

Birth of Arda is a hybrid game, incorporating Role-play and wargame
strategy. As the name hints, it is a Tolkien-inspired world. The concepts,
races and powers involved in the game are relational to that of
Middle-Earth (The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion). However,
individual characters, occurences and events will be unique. This games
does not take place in the actual Tolkien world, but a new world using its
template.

Your presence in the game is represented by an entity: A Maiar, lesser
Ainur. Such beings could be described as lesser ranks of angels. You have
three choices of disposition upon entering Arda (the world): maintain and
beautify Arda, subvert and pollute Arda, or explore and embrace Arda.
These three paths are simplified as Good, Evil and Neutral.

As a powerful being, you have dominion over an initial region. The
creatures and land are subject to your influence such that you have
absolute control over them to begin. Your actions may enhance, weaken or
adapt your domain, whether intentionally or not.

This game is open-ended and allows player-world interaction to alter it.
This will mostly happen through in-game actions, but suggestions are most
welcome.

This is a NEW and FORMING game.
