Túrin Turambar

Morgoth has finally almost completed his victory over Beleriand. Nearly all of the great elf kingdoms that kept him in check have fallen, the Edain, men who fought alongside the elves, have been driven out of their homes, and the servants of Morgoth run rampant across the plains that were once secure. After the Nírnaeth Arnoediad, the battle that gave Morgoth this sweeping victory, you, one of the Edain living a decade or so after the battle, find yourself, after a few misadventures fleeing from the orcs and other servants of Morgoth, in the forest of Brethil, near the elven realm of Doriath ruled by the king Thingol. There, you catch your foot on a rock and find yourself sprawling amongst the grasses and shrubs of the forest. Fortunately for you, instead of the orcs who you’ve been dreading to find, you’re instead discovered by a young man who is actually quite the acclaimed hero: Túrin Turambar. Son of the great hero Húrin and heir to the lord of the house of Hador, he is a grim young hero with a gentle and kind heart who hates with a passion the creatures of Morgoth. Armed with his black sword Gurthang, he has had countless struggles and adventures himself, and has also had quite a tragic past; for many wrongs have befallen him and he had in the past failed to help some of his family and closest friends. Trying to move on from all of this, he currently dwells with the wood men of the people of Haleth, and helps to protect the forest of Brethil from the orcs and other monsters who wish to completely destroy the Edain. After helping you up, Túrin takes you to the village where he and the wood men live, where a choice then lies in front of you: will you try to eek out peaceful existence among the wood men while the servants of Morgoth are still at large throughout Beleriand, or will you take up weapon as well, and fight alongside the tragic hero that is Túrin Turambar?
