Introduction to Ringscraft --- Coming September 27, 2013 ---
Eriador, year 127 of the Fourth Age. A second darkness has swept over Middle Earth. With a new army of dark men from the south having driven the Free People to the fringes of the north, an uneasy peace now lingers. In this time, new forces vie for power with one another and both heroes and villains arise from the conflict. It is a world divided into light and shadow.Welcome to Ringscraft, a Lord of the Rings roleplay server! Our team of admins invites you to enjoy our Lord of the Rings hardcore RP server. For those of you who are new to the concept, this means that not only will you be attacking monsters, leveling up, and going on adventures, you will also be privy to an excellent storyline that starts with you. You will have the opportunity to join our world, create your character, and start your adventure! Along the way, you may meet new friends or create bitter enemies. Your character might start a business, become embroiled in politics, or perhaps discover one of many dark secrets best kept hidden. Everything is up to you! With a community that has already been started by players from our previous server, be prepared to enter a world of conflict and intrigue, where a single choice might radically alter the fate of the world. Who knows what could happen? We're looking forward to meeting you in our rendition of the Fourth Age. Good luck!
Note: In an attempt to foster better understanding between the admins and the players, we are considering a Q&A video. If you have a question, don’t hesitate to ask. If we have enough responses, we will get together in a Skype call and answer them. We hope to hear from you guys soon!
Second Note: The Ringscraft server is currently CLOSED as we await release. However, we are accepting applications at the moment.Server Information
What is the setting of this server? The Server takes place in the Eriador region of Middle Earth, nearly 130 years after the destruction of the ring.
What this server offers
* A 100% hand made map, no Minecraft Generation * Custom lore based of Tolkien’s * Different races * A friendly roleplaying environment * Multiple unique class options * A close, friendly community on skype as well as in game and on our website * The freedom to be a fighter or to pursue more peaceful occupation.
Now, you may be wondering, what sets this server apart from any and all other LotR servers? Well, we've done the unthinkable, we've broken lore *gasp*. This server was born out of our of appreciation for Lord of the Rings RP, but also distaste for it's more limiting factors. However well the story of a LotR server is executed, it is always just a story. Pushing players through scripted events that do not change and giving them no chance to make their mark on the world. That has changed with Ringscraft. We've taken the massive background and lore of the Tolkien Legendarium, and erased all of the events of the Fourth Age. Our own revised Fourth Age is meant to allow players to truly have an effect of the events of the server. Thus, we have the solid base of Tolkien's Legendarium as well as having the flexibility of of a self created story. So go ahead!While Ringscraft is an RP server, we recognize that to some players, PvP is a very rewarding experience. Thus, while RPPvP is considered to be the standard form of combat in this server, those wishing to partake in PvP may do so under some conditions. All terms of the PvP must be determined by BOTH parties beforehand. We will not tolerate players who roam the countryside, attacking players who don’t want to fight and stealing all of their items. Both people must agree to PvP before it is allowed. Finally, during server events (such as a siege on a castle) PvP WILL be permitted. Thus, while events have substantial rewards, there is also a potential for danger during them.
Nályë alatulya síssë. Alámenë! (You’re welcome here. Go with a good blessing!) Lore Here is a link to all of our lore:https://docs.google....yyF4/edit?pli=1 For those of you who would like some background information on the different races as well as some tips on how to create your character, please refer below to our races information.
Breelanders Hailing from Bree and it’s surrounding areas, Breelanders are a simple, rustic folk. Once, they served the High King of Arnor during the days of its might. But when the northern kingdom fell, Bree remained as a prominent center of the north.Breelanders often have simple, English names such as Tom, Bill, and Will/Ellie, Clara, and Lucy.
Men of Dale Living under the shadow of the Lonely Mountain, the men from Dale are a tenacious people. Surviving many battles with the Easterlings from Rhun, it was their king, Bard the Bowman, who killed Smaug the dragon with the Black Arrow of Dale.Men from Dale tend to have Anglo-Saxon names such as Beoferth, Hesric, and Ordwulf/Ceofled, Leofwen, and Cynbur.
The Rohirrim The horse lords of Rohan were once a proud people. However, when the Haradrim swept through the south, their kingdom was lost. Now, the survivors seek to start again in Eriador. Many hold a simmering anger at the Haradrim who destroyed their home.The Rohirrim generally to have Anglo-Saxon names such as Beoferth, Hesric, and Ordwulf/Ceofled, Leofwen, and Cynbur.
Gondorians Coming from the south of Middle Earth, the Gondorians have been reduced to refugees. Once the proudest kingdom of men, it’s people are now scattered around Eriador. Still, the pride and dignity of their Numenorean heritage has not been entirely forgotten.Gondorians almost always have Sindarin (Grey Elven) names such as Ambor, Halrond, and Barahad/Nimraen, Findwen, and Saeldis.
Haradrim/Easterlings Simply a name for all the men who live south or east of Gondor, the Haradrim and Easterlings are a powerful and diverse military force. Clad in red and brown, donning brazen scales and wielding wicked sabers, they are an organized and terrifying menace atop their war Oliphaunts.The Haradrim have many, varied names such as Brodda, Khamul, and Uldor/Kuzu, Yileke, and Markiz.
Hobbits Standing under 4 feet tall, these simple farmers and herdsmen from the Shire are not to be discounted. While they have taken a more active role in the Eriador as of late, they are still renowned for their love of peace and their skill in growing things.Hobbits have simple or on occasion, Gothic/Frankish names. Hobbit women tend to be named after plants or gemstones. Some names include Sam, Everbras, and Robin/Bell, Mirabella, and Hanna.
Dwarves Since the 7 fathers of the dwarves awoke in Middle Earth, dwarves have always had an affinity for mining and crafting. Stout, strong, and unmoving, they are all but immune to the allure of power, but are often swayed by the prospect of riches.Dwarves normally have simple Norse names such as Anar, Ginar, and Kosi/Hón, Már, and Kóna.
Goblins The natural enemy of the Dwarves, the Goblins are a race of smaller orcs. Highly varied in appearance, they have recently been accepted rather grudgingly into the cities of men. With a natural affinity for scavenging and thievery, they are always ready for mischief.Goblins have names in the Black Speech of Mordor such as Bolg, Gorshag, Radthak, Nagrat, Zagrad, and Yagaz.

For a list of RP laws, please refer to the spoiler below.
((This is a list of RP laws to abide by (or not!). What that means is that these are IC laws only. If you break them, you will not be banned or punished by the admins or moderators directly. However, if you are caught in character breaking these laws, you may suffer in character punishment. If you break many of these laws, you will become a criminal IC, but you will NOT be kicked, banned, etc. Please remember that it is up to you whether you want to report/accuse someone of an in character crime. Also, remember to check here often as new rules may be added or changed.))
The cities and rulers of the land hath deemed these activities as criminal in nature. Shouldst thou be caught engaging in such activities, it is within the right of the guards to apprehend thee and placeth thee under arrest. Thou canst lose money and or be forced to endure a night in jail which shall be most unpleasant.
1) Thou shalt not stick deadly weapons into other people for no reason. (Group 1: Murder and assault)
2) Thou shalt not taketh things from others by way of robbery. (Group 1: Robbery and extortion)
3) Thou shalt not say "Giveth me that oxen and I shalt grant you this cucumber." then be found to have given no cucumber. (Group 2: Refusing to pay)
4) Thou shalt not run a business that engages in foul deeds. (Group 1: Dishonest business/factions)
5) If a door shouldst be locked, thou shalt not break the lock and enter unless the home be yours. It matterst not if thou art curious; leaveth people's houses alone! (Group 1: Breaking into doors that have a sign that says "This door has a lock attached." next to it)
6) Thou shalt not taketh money from someone who hath committed a crime and sayth "I didst not see that happening." (Group 1: Accepting bribes)
7) Thou shalt not giveth money to someone and sayth "Thou didstn't see that..." (Group 1: Bribery)
8) Thou shalt not drinketh copious amounts of alcoholic beverage, then go make a nuisance of thyself in public. (Group 2: Public drunkenness)

14) Thou shalt not try to acteth as though thou art a monkey and climbeth all over buildings. (Group 2: Random parkour is discouraged)
((These laws are separated into 2 groups. If you commit a group 1 crime, the guards will arrest you. If you commit a group 2 crime, the guards will ask you to stop. If you don't, you will be arrested.))Finally, if thou hast an ID that thou canst show the authorities, thou art more likely to get off with less punishment.
Classes Classes play a large role in the server. All players choose a Profession Class and a Combat class. Profession classes limit what a player can craft or break. These classes are the same for each race, and create a diverse economy. Ie: Only miners can break iron and gold ore. Only smiths can craft iron or gold armor.Combat classes are obviously for, combat. There are three combat classes, Warrior, Archer, and Healer. These classes do vary from race to race, creating a more accurate and fair PVP enviorment. Keep in mind that these classes will not automatically make you a warrior, archer, or a healer. A bartender who has never handled a sword in his life can still be considered a warrior due to the fact that his natural preference is to fight like a warrior (up close with a melee weapon).
Profession Classes Miner -The miners of Middle-earth! They can mine/smelt ores. Smith - From armor to swords to tools, these guys can forge it! They can ever smelt their own ores. Farmer- For anyone interested in the business of food! He can grow and harvest advanced crops. Gather - A man of the wilderness! Fishing and logging are his prime skills.
Combat Classes Warrior-These fighters are comfortable up close, taking hits and dealing out high damage with heavy armor to protect them in the thick of combat. Archer - These fighters are skilled with the bow, being more attuned to distance combat and agility. Highly adaptable and skilled, their arrows are feared by all. Healer- Those of who choose healing have a special devotion to keeping others and themselves alive both on and off the battlefield.

Before you create your character, please read this spoiler in order to get a grasp of how we quantify skill levels.
When it comes to RP combat, there is invariably going to be some confusion as to what constitutes a "master" or an "expert" and so on. To address this, we have created a basic guideline in order for players to base their character's skills off of. Keep in mind that this is NOT a strict rulebook and we don't expect you to start numbering off your skill levels in your applications. We would however, like you to keep in mind where (in general) your character lies on the scale in terms of aptitude in certain skills. The skills below have been divided into 5 ranks. Basic, adept, skilled, and expert are the first four and can be used by any player when they first create their character. However as we've detailed in our application, the fifth rank, master, is off limits when you first create your character (unless you petition us with a very convincing request). The first three skills we have chosen to display are "close combat", "archery", and "healing/loremastery". Keep in mind that these do not change your "heroes level", they merely address your RP actions.

We know it's a lot to take in and it can be hard to remember so we'll simply remind you not to do that.

Welcome to Rings Craft! A minecraft roleplaying server based off the Lord of the rings trilogy.
WE ARE CURENTLY WORKING ON A NEW MAP, NEW CLASSES, ETC.
( For the fourth age )
What is true roleplaying?
In this server, roleplaying goes further than simply leveling up, raiding and getting killed constantly in unfair PVP. Instead of this, we concentrate on playing with Characters, roles and events. You will need to create yourself a character that fits with the lore and play him in game. What do we mean by creating one? You will have to write about his backstory, his personality, his talents, etc. For sure, many of you will want to become famous characters part of the LOTR trilogy, but they will be reserved to dedicated players who prove themselves to be good role-players and to respect the rules.

Name(Please give your Character a name that fits with your race) : Imrahad of Dol Amroth
Race(Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): Gondor Guardian. (male)
Age: 17
Character Backstory It should be about 2 paragraphs. 200 words and more about. And please no stories like this : His parents were killed by orcs. He trained, found the orcs, and slayed them all. The End. ( You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved. You cannot already start out some one important, you need to work your way to the top.):
Being family to Prince Imrahil of the Fair of Dol Amroth, Imrahad was born to serve and fight under Minas Tirith. Raised by his Uncle and his host of Swan knights, he was trained to be a great and noble warrior. When he came of age, he was thrown a great celebration on the banks of Belfalas. When the Steward of Gondor appeared with his two sons, Imrahads spotlight was taken. Denethor entered his families land as if he were a king, and spoke words to Imrahad like it will be an honor to have you fight for me. Imrahad and his uncle Imrahil were servants to Minas Tirith, not Denethor. When Denethor commanded Imrahads obedience, he opposed saying, "I will bend the knee only to those who deserve it". And so, by the madnened rage of Denethor and reluctance of his Uncle, Imrahad left Belfalas for the lands of the kingdom of Gondor, bearing his Swan knight armor, he roams looking for those who need protection from Saurons minions.
Throughout his banishment, Imrahad had lived on his own, refusing to rest while the free peoples suffered under Saurons gaze. After his 1st year in exile, he began to lose any hope of living a peaceful life. And so rather than lose faith, he chose to accept his life of solitude as a guardian of Gondor, and all its fiefdoms, refusing payment other than enough to maintain his equipment and body. As the days grow darker and the armies of the Dark Lord grow ever stronger, Imrahad stnads taller in defiance. He will not be ruled by darkness, and neither shall his home. And so when the day arrives when Minas Tirith is about to fall, and the hope of man dwindles, Imrahad will be ready to ride head on into the maelstrom that would come.

Name(Please give your Character a name that fits with your race) : Torhuk FiendCutter
Race(Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman):
Dwarf WarSmith Male
Age: 30 in Dwarf years.
Character Backstory It should be about 2 paragraphs. 200 words and more about. And please no stories like this : His parents were killed by orcs. He trained, found the orcs, and slayed them all. The End. ( You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved. You cannot already start out some one important, you need to work your way to the top.): Torhuk was born in the depths of the mines of Moria,(before the dwarves awakended an evil in the mines). He was born into not a noble family but not a peasant family either. His father was a "successful" miner, mining enough to keep his family afloat. So Torhuk would never starve or need anything that was required. Since his father had a fair amount of money, he hired a tutor to help Torhuk study the art of writing and reading ancient Dwarvish. After his studies, his father would either bring him down to these two places: the mine or the forge, where he would teach Torhuk the proper way to use both. His father taught him how to use the forge properly and taught him how to mine efficiently. When Torhuk was using the mine or the forge, all his problems seemed to go away. One day, his father was called to the Parabola [Dwarf Leader] and his father and a group of other dwarves were sent to an undiscovered part of the mine. They mined and discovered the ancient place that belonged to the Balrog [Durin's Bane]. His father was the first casualty among the dwarves that were killed by the Balrog. Soon, all the dwarves were evacuated, including Torhuk and his mother. While running, orcs and trolls attacked the pack. Torhuk pulled his axe and chopped one of the orc's heads off and that is how he got his name FiendCutter The remaining dwarves split, some going to the lonely mountain, some to the Blue Mountain and some to the Iron Hills. Torhuk and his mother went to the Blue Mountain, having relatives there. When Torhuk and his mother got to the Blue Mountain, they were welcomed by Torhuk's aunt and uncle. His uncle, Orim owned a small blacksmith shop, where Torhuk helped run.
Roleplay Example ( A conversation between your character and someone else. We want to see who well you can Roleplay ): This is a part where Torhuk confronts another Dwarf who has been bullying Torhuk's friend. [This scene never happend but it's for roleplay] Torhuk: Young Sir, please let go of my friend or you will pay with your life.
Bully: Is that a challenge Torhuk FiendLicker?[He is making fun of Torhuk]
Torhuk: If that is what you wish.*Pulls his axe out* But if you die, that is something you can restart.
Bully: Ugh*looks with disgust and walks away*
Personality traits: He is strong-willed and proud. He never backs down from a challenge. He believes in doing the right thing at all times. He is a person who loves to party but is serious when it gets down to business. He is calm in battle situations.
Physical description or image of skin?: I have a beard thats red. I am wearing some cloth and wearing a bit of armor.
Skills of your character: His axe skills are amazing compared to others his age, he is decent with a bow but horrible compared to elves, and he is excellent with the forge and knows the way to mine to get the most ores.
What is his ultimate goal? ( Ex: Becoming a king, owning the biggest farm, being the richest merchant in Gondor ) Ruling his own mountain and leading a clan of dwarves under that mountain.

In Character(IC) INFO:
Name :Andoiel Maltaiâwen
Race:Female elf
Age:297
Character Backstory: Andoiel was born in Rivendell, the daughter of a jeweler, her father would buy materials from the dwarves and make beautiful bracelets and circlets, selling them in his store he had in Rivendell's merchand district. She is a young beauty, with her hair dyed a fair light blue from her natural blonde, to match her crystaline blue eyes. She spends her days out in the sunlight, so her skin is a light golden tan, making her freckles across her cheeks and nose stand out slightly. Her rosy pink lips are always in a smile, she doesn't let herself be upset. "Look at the bright side!" She thinks that life is too precious to be sad. Andoiel's mother is a tailor, she works in their home, sewing beautiful robes and dresses for the patrons of the town. Because of the work her parents do, she's a little more well off, about upper middle class, she lives comfortably with her parents. Currently, her parents are out of Rivendell, taking a journey, a break from the bustle of the city. Andoiel swears she once saw a young elven man watching her from afar out of the corner of her eye. He was beautiful, with long dirty-blonde hair and bright eyes. Though as soon as she thought she saw him, he was gone. He resides in the back of her mind now, perhaps the one that got away? Or maybe it was her imagination...Andoiel hopes to one day find someone she would want to spend her life with, but so far, she hasn't found one. Now that's not to say she hasn't gotten any suitors, many young elven men have tried to win her hand, to no avail. Andoiel loves to cook and draw, she's grand at both, most renowned for her portraits and baking. She can often be found around Rivendell sketching the landscape or patrons who would like a piece of art to frame on their walls. She loves to sing while she works, and some have even gone so far as to say it's hypnotic and entrancing, though she's quite modest about it. Andoiel's fears are those of the creatures that come out at night, and storms. She doesn't mind the rain, but the loud noise of thunder and lightning frighten her into a state of childlike timidness. She'll often hide behind someone or something, and if the storm is lound enough, would probably shake a bit. She is fearful of fighting and violence, and cannot wield a weapon well. If anything, she could probably use a dagger well enough, she uses knives often when cooking, so it wouldn't be too hard to grasp the concept.
Roleplay Example:
Andoiel sits cross-legged at the bench in front of a garden in the higher section of Rivendell, near the waterfall, a pad of paper in hand, and a graphite in the other, sending whispy strokes through the cream color, marking it black and grey. She looks up from the paper every so often to refresh her mind's image of the flowers and foliage she copies onto the parchment. She hums a soft tune, a melody that echoes off the walls of the gazebo. She tucks her hair behind her pointed ears, adorned with gold ear cuffs her father made for her years ago. She looks up once more to better view an orchid when something catches her eyes. Tilting her head she peers into the distance, seeing a young man dressed in white and gold robes, with long blonde hair and piercing eyes staring right back at her. He leans on the pillar across from her, barely in sight with the foliage between them, she shakes her head, never seeing him before, let alone a man so enamoring. When she opens her eyes again, he's gone. She quickly moves her hands, drawing what he looked like before the image vanished from her mind. "Ando? You okay?" A voice would sound from the right of her. Andoiel raises her head to address the person she knows as her good friend, Maltaiâ. "Hmm? Oh, yes I'm fine...I just...Thought I saw someone, is all..." She'd muse over the thought of him. "Oho? Really now?" He'd look over her shoulder to her artwork, "Is that him?" He'd point at the portrait, to which she hurriedly tries to cover it, "I-It's n-nothing!" She blushes. Maltaiâ smirks at her, "Right, sure it is. Well I'm having a small gathering of friends later, if you'd care to join." He leans down to hug her before walking off. Andoiel sits there for a while staring down at her drawing, now smudged, with a longing look on her face, "Who are you?" She asks herself, looking at the mysterious man.
Personality traits: Happy, she doesn't let herself be upset over things. She loves to help others, and to see other people happy as well. She's easygoing and funloving.
Physical description or image of skin?: http://browse.devian...enleaf#/d56wxix (Comission I had done of her, though I changed the name to better fit this server.)
Skills of your character : She is great at cooking, more specifically, baking. She's a wonderful artist, and likes farming to a point. She has a beautiful singing voice as well.
What is her ultimate goal?:Andoiel's ultimate goal is to be happy.

was through. One night, he ran. From their city home.. Their "perfect" life, he ran.
He lived off the land, killing animals with his bare hands to live. Though he was skilled, supply
was low. He lived in struggled like that for a year or more and he lost nearly 30 pounds. His ribs
began to show rough his skin. He gave up all hope for life.. And then she found him. He had
collapsed in the woods. His life felt like it was litterally seeping from his body.
She found him near dead on the ground only a skip and a step from her home. She brought him
home. They force fed his near lifeless body, nurtured him while he remained unconcious and cared
for the strange human boy. When Arathar finally awoke, it was to the sparkling face of the most
beautiful girl he had ever seen. Adrian's blue eyes sparkled in the faint sunlight of the room he was
beded in. Her dirty blonde hair fell onto her shoulders in a manner Arathar found unbelievably
adorable. "Hi!" she squealed when she realized he had woken up.
"Eh.." He scratched his head and wiped his right eye. "Hi.." He made a fast motion to sit up but
the girl shoved him down.
"You need to rest and recover." She glared at him, he questioned how he had been overpowered
so easily by her, but realized ater looking at himself that he was severly malnourished. AS such, he
accepted without question, and over the following weeks the women who took him in nursed to
health carefully, being as sweet as ever.
While Arathar was confined to his bed for extended time, the young girl Adrian kept him
company. They formed a tight bond, tighter than anything that could have formed in normal
circumstances. He believed he was falling for her.
Months passed and he lived with the family. Becoming like a part of their home. He was a
strong hearted young man. They would venture out together finding queit places to talk to each
other.. just to talk. Untill one day they ventured out into a storm.
"Where'd you go?" A young girls voice yelled through the screaming wind of a storm.
"Arathar!"Where are you?!" She screached for him, a sadness in her vice was apparent.
The young boy elf looked ferociously, rain stung his eyes as he searched for his little firend.
"Adrian!" He yelled, unable to hear her much the same as she was unable to hear him. The small
knife on his belt bouncing in the wind, threatening to come loose.. He climbed over rock and root,
through wind and rain, searching for his lost friend with unrelenting vigor.
The rain grew heavier, stinging his skin and eyes evermore, threatening to take him off his feet.
His belt had blown free now, his risk growing ever greater the longer he stayed out in search of her.
A muffled roar sounded in the distance, a swell of wind echoing just perfectly, and Arathar ran
after it.
The rain had grown near un-traversable now and Arathar continued his search. He found her
finally, his skin red from the sheer force of the rain. She was unconcious now, and so he lifted her,
useing every ounce of his being he carried her home.
Two days later he made a trip to visit her. Upon arriving at Adrian's house her mother was
overcome abruptly overcome with grief. "She is yet to make a recovery." She sobbed to him as he
made his way through the archway of their door.
"Will she?" He asked calmly, no show of emotion yet come upon his face. He continued through
the house calmly, making his way to her bedside. With a glisten of a tear in his eye he looked to her
mother.
Through choked sobs she answered him. "It.. is unlikely.." Tears boiled in her eyes and the grief
hit Arathar himself like a train. He did not cry, a single tear ran in a stream down his cheek. He
calmly took the young girls hand, and sat. For three weeks he sat with her, not moving except to
eat when her mother forced him.
On the last day of the third week a doctor returned to them. With great remorse and care he
tended her, this went on for another three days, the doctor worked feverishly, using every bit of
remedy of he had available and every ounce of magic he had available to him, and throughout this
process Arathar remained steadfast, not leaving her bedside for a second. Night or day. Never
once did his hand release from hers.
On the fourth day, her chest stopped rising. The doctors eyes froze on the wall in front of him.
Arathar froze, tears well in his eyes and for a split second, the world stopped. All of the air in his
body left him in a single, massive cry. "Adrian!" He screamed at her bedside,
"ADRIAAAAAAN!!!!" He sobbed, commanding her to live. Refusing to except the horrid truth.
Adrian's mother burst into the room. Seeing Arathar in such a state she burst to tears. She
grabbed him, holding him tightly in her embrace. He continued screaming, tears streaming in droves
from his face. "ADRIAN!" He sobbed into her mother's shoulder. "You can't leave me!" He
screamed. He sobbed viciously. The veins in his neck bulged with utter defeat.
His eyes turned bloodshot, tears streaming freely down his face. One last time he screamed her
name, for a split second Adrian's eye's opened. They went not to her doctor, to plead for her life,
nor to her mother. They went to Arathar's, she locked onto his eyes and whispered three words.
"Live for me." She fell into an endless sleeping abyss. The man that left would be changed forever.
While a funeral was being prepared Alex approached her mother. "I'm leaving you.. I'm sorry."
He said to her, not beating around the bush in the slightest.
She did not look distraught as he had expected, instead she looked relieved. A tear began to
well in her right eye. "Thank you... Do as she asked... Live.. For her."
He smiled a bit, a tear coming to his own eye. "If it kills me.. I will come home... I will come
home and comfort you when it is your turn to follow your daughter.. And I will pray... Pray that I
have someone to do the same for me.."
"Alex, at very least, stay for the funeral?" She pleaded to him.
"Eh.. I don't have much time to stay.." He said reluctantly. He woke up the night before the
funeral, unable to bear his guilt. He queitly packed his clothes, his swords and left his home. He
waved goodbye to it for.. The last time, a tear in his eye as he muttered. "Goodbye.. I love you.."
He ran from their home yet again, returning to the White City from where he came.
Personality traits:
Arathar is a calm, respectful human, rarely does he speak, and even less common is it that he
speaks ill'ly of his superiors. His sole goal is to protect his home and his people. On the very rare
occasion that he gets angry it is swift and brutal, calming the moment the target of his agression is
silenced.
Physical description or image of skin?:
Sol is a tall individual, he stood at 6'2 and is muscularly built. His hair is black, medium length and
his eyes are a greyish blue. He adorns formfitting black garb with green highlighting. On his back
he carries a longbow, carved out of 4 feet of wood and rope. On each hip he bares foot and a half
longswords and accross his chest he has a knife belt, filled with daggers. Strapped to his calf is a
dagger.
Skills of your character : Arathar is a capable swordsman and an excellent bowman. He is a bit of
a silver tongue, when he chooses to speak, and is an otherwise unremarkable character.
What is his ultimate goal?: He has no real goal except to ascend in status within the military so that
he may better protect his lord and king.

Eriador, year 127 of the Fourth Age. A second darkness has swept over Middle Earth. With a new army of dark men from the south having driven the Free People to the fringes of the north, an uneasy peace now lingers. In this time, new forces vie for power with one another and both heroes and villains arise from the conflict. It is a world divided into light and shadow.Welcome to Ringscraft, a Lord of the Rings roleplay server! Our team of admins invites you to enjoy our Lord of the Rings hardcore RP server. For those of you who are new to the concept, this means that not only will you be attacking monsters, leveling up, and going on adventures, you will also be privy to an excellent storyline that starts with you. You will have the opportunity to join our world, create your character, and start your adventure! Along the way, you may meet new friends or create bitter enemies. Your character might start a business, become embroiled in politics, or perhaps discover one of many dark secrets best kept hidden. Everything is up to you! With a community that has already been started by players from our previous server, be prepared to enter a world of conflict and intrigue, where a single choice might radically alter the fate of the world. Who knows what could happen? We're looking forward to meeting you in our rendition of the Fourth Age. Good luck!
Note: In an attempt to foster better understanding between the admins and the players, we are considering a Q&A video. If you have a question, don’t hesitate to ask. If we have enough responses, we will get together in a Skype call and answer them. We hope to hear from you guys soon!
Second Note: The Ringscraft server is currently CLOSED as we await release. However, we are accepting applications at the moment.
What is the setting of this server?
The Server takes place in the Eriador region of Middle Earth, nearly 130 years after the destruction of the ring.
What this server offers
* A 100% hand made map, no Minecraft Generation
* Custom lore based of Tolkien’s
* Different races
* A friendly roleplaying environment
* Multiple unique class options
* A close, friendly community on skype as well as in game and on our website
* The freedom to be a fighter or to pursue more peaceful occupation.
Now, you may be wondering, what sets this server apart from any and all other LotR servers? Well, we've done the unthinkable, we've broken lore *gasp*. This server was born out of our of appreciation for Lord of the Rings RP, but also distaste for it's more limiting factors. However well the story of a LotR server is executed, it is always just a story. Pushing players through scripted events that do not change and giving them no chance to make their mark on the world. That has changed with Ringscraft. We've taken the massive background and lore of the Tolkien Legendarium, and erased all of the events of the Fourth Age. Our own revised Fourth Age is meant to allow players to truly have an effect of the events of the server. Thus, we have the solid base of Tolkien's Legendarium as well as having the flexibility of of a self created story. So go ahead!While Ringscraft is an RP server, we recognize that to some players, PvP is a very rewarding experience. Thus, while RPPvP is considered to be the standard form of combat in this server, those wishing to partake in PvP may do so under some conditions. All terms of the PvP must be determined by BOTH parties beforehand. We will not tolerate players who roam the countryside, attacking players who don’t want to fight and stealing all of their items. Both people must agree to PvP before it is allowed. Finally, during server events (such as a siege on a castle) PvP WILL be permitted. Thus, while events have substantial rewards, there is also a potential for danger during them.
Nályë alatulya síssë. Alámenë! (You’re welcome here. Go with a good blessing!)
Lore
Here is a link to all of our lore:https://docs.google....yyF4/edit?pli=1
Breelanders
Hailing from Bree and it’s surrounding areas, Breelanders are a simple, rustic folk. Once, they served the High King of Arnor during the days of its might. But when the northern kingdom fell, Bree remained as a prominent center of the north.Breelanders often have simple, English names such as Tom, Bill, and Will/Ellie, Clara, and Lucy.
Men of Dale
Living under the shadow of the Lonely Mountain, the men from Dale are a tenacious people. Surviving many battles with the Easterlings from Rhun, it was their king, Bard the Bowman, who killed Smaug the dragon with the Black Arrow of Dale.Men from Dale tend to have Anglo-Saxon names such as Beoferth, Hesric, and Ordwulf/Ceofled, Leofwen, and Cynbur.
The Rohirrim
The horse lords of Rohan were once a proud people. However, when the Haradrim swept through the south, their kingdom was lost. Now, the survivors seek to start again in Eriador. Many hold a simmering anger at the Haradrim who destroyed their home.The Rohirrim generally to have Anglo-Saxon names such as Beoferth, Hesric, and Ordwulf/Ceofled, Leofwen, and Cynbur.
Gondorians
Coming from the south of Middle Earth, the Gondorians have been reduced to refugees. Once the proudest kingdom of men, it’s people are now scattered around Eriador. Still, the pride and dignity of their Numenorean heritage has not been entirely forgotten.Gondorians almost always have Sindarin (Grey Elven) names such as Ambor, Halrond, and Barahad/Nimraen, Findwen, and Saeldis.
Haradrim/Easterlings
Simply a name for all the men who live south or east of Gondor, the Haradrim and Easterlings are a powerful and diverse military force. Clad in red and brown, donning brazen scales and wielding wicked sabers, they are an organized and terrifying menace atop their war Oliphaunts.The Haradrim have many, varied names such as Brodda, Khamul, and Uldor/Kuzu, Yileke, and Markiz.
Hobbits
Standing under 4 feet tall, these simple farmers and herdsmen from the Shire are not to be discounted. While they have taken a more active role in the Eriador as of late, they are still renowned for their love of peace and their skill in growing things.Hobbits have simple or on occasion, Gothic/Frankish names. Hobbit women tend to be named after plants or gemstones. Some names include Sam, Everbras, and Robin/Bell, Mirabella, and Hanna.
Dwarves
Since the 7 fathers of the dwarves awoke in Middle Earth, dwarves have always had an affinity for mining and crafting. Stout, strong, and unmoving, they are all but immune to the allure of power, but are often swayed by the prospect of riches.Dwarves normally have simple Norse names such as Anar, Ginar, and Kosi/Hón, Már, and Kóna.
Goblins
The natural enemy of the Dwarves, the Goblins are a race of smaller orcs. Highly varied in appearance, they have recently been accepted rather grudgingly into the cities of men.

If you don't, you will be arrested.))Finally, if thou hast an ID that thou canst show the authorities, thou art more likely to get off with less punishment.
Classes
Classes play a large role in the server. All players choose a Profession Class and a Combat class. Profession classes limit what a player can craft or break. These classes are the same for each race, and create a diverse economy. Ie: Only miners can break iron and gold ore. Only smiths can craft iron or gold armor.Combat classes are obviously for, combat. There are three combat classes, Warrior, Archer, and Healer. These classes do vary from race to race, creating a more accurate and fair PVP enviorment. Keep in mind that these classes will not automatically make you a warrior, archer, or a healer. A bartender who has never handled a sword in his life can still be considered a warrior due to the fact that his natural preference is to fight like a warrior (up close with a melee weapon).
Profession Classes
Miner - The miners of Middle-earth! They can mine/smelt ores.
Smith - From armor to swords to tools, these guys can forge it! They can ever smelt their own ores.
Farmer - For anyone interested in the business of food! He can grow and harvest advanced crops.
Gather - A man of the wilderness! Fishing and logging are his prime skills.
Combat Classes
Warrior- These fighters are comfortable up close, taking hits and dealing out high damage with heavy armor to protect them in the thick of combat.
Archer - These fighters are skilled with the bow, being more attuned to distance combat and agility. Highly adaptable and skilled, their arrows are feared by all.
Healer- Those of who choose healing have a special devotion to keeping others and themselves alive both on and off the battlefield.
Applications
You can apply to join the server here, but if you also put your application on our website, you'll get a much faster response. Please make sure that you’ve read all of our rules and lore BEFORE applying. Should you desire your backstory to be a secret, you are welcome to contact us on our Enjin with your application. If you are applying on the Enjin, remember that you must also apply on the MC Forums.
Before you create your character, please read this spoiler in order to get a grasp of how we quantify skill levels.
When it comes to RP combat, there is invariably going to be some confusion as to what constitutes a "master" or an "expert" and so on. To address this, we have created a basic guideline in order for players to base their character's skills off of. Keep in mind that this is NOT a strict rulebook and we don't expect you to start numbering off your skill levels in your applications. We would however, like you to keep in mind where (in general) your character lies on the scale in terms of aptitude in certain skills. The skills below have been divided into 5 ranks. Basic, adept, skilled, and expert are the first four and can be used by any player when they first create their character. However as we've detailed in our application, the fifth rank, master, is off limits when you first create your character (unless you petition us with a very convincing request). The first three skills we have chosen to display are "close combat", "archery", and "healing/loremastery". Keep in mind that these do not change your "heroes level", they merely address your RP actions.
