Under The Eaves Of Mirkwood! Adventures In Middle Earth

Five years have passed since the events of The Hobbit.

The characters find themselves in Wilderland, or Rhovanion, the region of Middle-earth east of the Misty Mountains and north of Gondor. It includes Lake-town, Erebor (The Lonely Mountain), the newly rebuilt Dale, Rhosgobel, Woodmen- town, Thranduil’s Hall, and the dark vastness of Mirkwood itself. Wilderland has a huge amount of territory and places familiar and strange to explore.

The dragon Smaug is dead, slain by Bard the Bowman, now King Bard of Dale. People all across Wilderland are finding new hope for the future. Trade routes are reopening, and the free folk of Wilderland are beginning to get to know one another again.


Six players are required for this game, each playing one of the following pre-generated characters:

Lifstan, son of Ieiknir – a Barding Warrior

Beran of the MountaIns – a Beorning Warden

Beli – a Dwarf of the Lonely Mountain and Treasure Hunter

Caranthiel – an Elf of Mirkwood and Scholar

Trotter – a Hobbit Wanderer

The Bride – a Woodwoman of Wilderland and Slayer

This game will work through the Eaves Of Mirkwood introductory scenario for Adventures in Middle Earth - Cubicle7's open licence Middle Earth setting for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.

Knowledge of D&D5E is helpful but not essential, and a knowledge of Tolkien's Middle Earth - either from the films or the books - would be useful as I intend the game to be played in a similar style; gritty, serious but not without the odd injection of humour.

(The roles of Beli, Beran, and Caranthiel are taken)
