Eärendil

Beleriand has fallen. After four hundred years and more, men and elves have fought a losing war against the dark lord Morgoth and now, they have lost everything. Even the greatest of their kingdoms have collapsed, and all that’s left of the once great hosts of men and elves is a small camp of refugees near the mouths of the river Sirion, once sacred to Ulmo, the benevolent lord of waters. Needless to say, the elves and men have suffered cruelly under the yolk of Morgoth, and what they need most is a messenger: someone who will sail to the Undying Lands in the far west and plead their case against the Valar, the very powers of the world, so that they might have pity on them and come to their aid and defeat Morgoth for good. However, this will be a difficult task, as the Noldor, a house of elves who dwell in Beleriand, had originally left the Undying Lands in rebellion of the Valar, thus making the lands hidden behind a veil of enchanted islands surrounded by shadows and bewilderment. Also, Ossë, the wild spit of storms and vassal of Ulmo, has also made it his goal to bar the way there and cause any ship sent there to flounder in the waves of his wrath. Who will brave this task that the elves and men so desperately need? Eärendil the mariner. Son of a hero of men and a great elven princess, he is a kind soul who wishes the best for both kinds and grieves deeply for all the hurts sustained from both. At first glance, this voyage seems fated to end in disaster like all others like it, but armed with a Silmaril, a holy jewel given to him by his wife Elwing that shines with a light set in it by the greatest elven smiths long ago, he surly will find a way through this time. You are on the voyage too, among the crew of his ship Vingilot, and one of Eärendil’s great friends. A great voyage now awaits you, will you stand by your friend’s side throughout it all and travel with him to the Undying Lands and plead the case of your people before the Valar?
