About the adventure
Fire. Shadow. Darkness. An ancient evil wakes in the mines of Moria, threatening the serenity of the land once more. In the silver havens of Lothlórien and the wind-carved towers of Minas Tirith, whispers speak of the Enemy rising beyond watchful eyes. Black sails stain the Anduin. Strange fires flicker through the mists of the Misty Mountains. Gathered by a notable patron, our Fellowship stands ready to change the fate of Middle-earth—for better or worse. From cozy taverns and the green pastures of the Shire to warg hunts and desperate sieges, our adventurers must walk forgotten roads, parley with wary allies across the realm, uncover ancient lore and lost artifacts, and descend into shadowed ruins where the Enemy gathers strength. You can expect a campaign filled with wonder and exploration and magical and impactful moments, taking us all over Eriador, with Moria being the late endgame arc of our story. But steel alone will not suffice; only courage, mercy, and steadfast hearts can rekindle hope across the realms. Will you answer the call, traveler, or stay snug in your hobbit-hole and let the legends pass you by?

About me
Ever since I first picked up a twenty-sided die, I’ve wanted to be behind the GM screen, narrating fantastical stories my friends create. I’ve come a long way since the days of pen and paper and cozy huddles around my kitchen table—but one thing hasn’t changed: I treat you as a friend in my worlds. With a background in theater and literature, I strive to weave meticulously crafted narratives that stir minds and hearts. Each story has the freedom to breathe and grow, with the ultimate goal of creating a majestic tale we’ll remember for life. I also create TTRPG supplements and articles, some of which have even found their way onto Gen Con tables! I’m deeply passionate about community and storytelling as ways to bridge the hardships of life and forge lasting companionship. You can find my work and musings at elvenfirefly.com.

Creating your character
Character creation will occur during session 0, and premade characters are available. You can find the link in the prep materials and read about the 6 Callings of the game: Captain, Champion, Messenger, Scholar, Treasure Hunter and Warden. We will be using The One Ring 2e core rules.
Every other Monday, starting with the 2nd of March and then alternating.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need access to Discord as well as a stable internet connection for the game and a quiet surrounding. Dice can be either physical or virtual, and cameras are encouraged but optional. The game is built with beginners in mind, so no prior knowledge of the rules is necessary.
