The early Fourth Age can be very interesting and gameable. There is a lot to do: consolidating the Reunited Kingdom, both diplomatically and militarily; seting up trade links with the remote nations in southern and Eastern Middle-Earth; exploring and repopulating the north; and of course occupying and cleaning up all of Mordor: Sauron is gone, but strong Orc or Human warlords may set up petty kingdoms in Mordor and resist takeover. Lots of adventures for decades to come . . . Cheers, M

Re: Lord of the Rings Elven Racial Template
Elves seem to have better memories than humans, what about Eidetic Memory [5]?

Re: Lord of the Rings Elven Racial Template
Been working some more on these templates, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how to stat up the Avari or the Vanyar elves. They do not come into many tales for sure, but I thought perhaps that some people more familiar with the Histories could shed some light on possibile GURPS stats interpetations.
I would start with the a modified Noldo template for the Vanyar, but they cannot be as great in lore and craft as the Noldo. What could be the Vanyar's shtick? What about the Avari? I'd start with a modified Sylvan template, but Avari culture is almost entirely a conjecture. Would the Avari have the tremendous afinity for nature like the Sylvans, or was that acquired later? I am tempted to make the Avari cave dwellers since both Sylvan and Sindarian cultures make their homes in caves. This could be a throw-back to a shared culture. Any thoughts or opinions?

Re: Lord of the Rings Elven Racial Template
I really wish I could help and your right about the Avari.
Damn good work so far ;) QM

1) They were really good looking, even for elves. Most of the elves described as most beautiful (with the significant exceptions of Luthien and Arwen) had Vanyar blood. Galadriel was a good example of this. You might want to look at Transcendant Appearance and Charisma. 2) They were particularly beloved by Manwe and Varda. This probably indicates they have an even stronger connection to the Blessed Realm then the Noldor did. They might qualify for some subset of the Blessed advantage, or possibly True Faith. 3) They were really very good. I can't think of a single example of a Vanyar giving in to corruption, or even going along with Feanor. Possibly slap on a few Taboo Traits, covering classic "evil" disads like Greed, Sadist, Selfishness, etc. Quote:

Thingol. Outside of those two, I can't think of any other examples of Sindar/Sylvan elves living in caves. Unless you count Finrod's Sindar subjects, but Finrod was a Noldor, and was copying Thingol anyway. |

Of course, the nature of the elven habitation at Amon Lanc is largely open to speculation.
