Even as Sauron fell, his essence disappating into the air... you could tell that your kin were already quitting the field.

The loyalty to Sauron lasted as long as he won, as long as he ruled. This was a concept that held true for any ruler.

Those who hewed to the aspect of flame and earth, crawling deep into the dark depths as they had when Morgoth had been defeated.

Those who were like you, aspected to the elements less solid, shucked their solid shape. You too followed suit. After all, while the memories of mortal men were short with their transient nature... the memories of elves were very long.

And they would remember you well, the fallen beast knight of Ulmo, reaver of the deep darkness... commander of the countless creatures that have never known the light of the sun, stars and moon. Your deeds and infamy after you abandoned the hosts of the Valinor at the end of the War of Wrath against Morgoth. You had deserted your post then, being far too intrigued with Arda.

And so, you allowed your body to release its hold upon the reality of the world, and once more you ran unclad in the raiment of the world.

You would, eventually, assume a new form... one far different from that of the fallen beast knight of Ulmo, strong and tall, with a fell sword in hand and clad in deadly armor.

No, you remember of the scorn and power that some of the she elves had wielded, you would wield that power. To sway the minds of heroes and kings alike, but for a while as the world spun and the memories of you slipped away from the thoughts of your enemies.

As you made your way from Mordor, you realized you needed to decide...

What Do?
[X] Go North, but beware there are elves and worse here
[X] Go East into the Rhun, the lands of the Easterlings
[X] Go South into the Hither Lands of Near Harad
[X] Go West into Rohan or Gondor
 
So if I'm reading the chart right our former boss was Ulmo?


*Ninja Tanukis everywhere*

Guess that answers that....
 
[X] Go West into Rohan or Gondor

[X] Go West into Rohan or Gondor

While it is tempting to flee to the East or South where Sauron's control was strong... you didn't.

For a simple and strategic reason, others of your kind were already doing do, and you didn't need to or want to compete with them for hiding holes or other resources.

Instead, you go West and pass the host of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, and out the mighty gates of Mordor.

The capital of Gondor, Osgiliath, lies in your way. It is a fortress city raised by the men of Númenóreans after Númenor was sunk by Ilúvatar when in their arrogance, they broke the Ban of the Valar. To never travel to the western land of the Valar.

Truly, Sauron's gile in turning the men of Númenor against the elves and the Valar was devious and cruel.

Still, the city is a mighty construct and a testament to the skills and prowess that the Númenóreans possessed. It is possible that if you set up home here that your mortal seeming might be pierced by those whose blood were strong and vigorous, and you would be hunted down.

You could continue onwards to the south west, to the port city of Umbar... which was once one of Sauron's strongholds before the Númenóreans' return. His influence is still strong there as a malaise that inflicts the minds of mortal men.

Or perhaps, you could go north into Rohan, and its open plains and... horses.

You find yourself skulking in one of the few places of 'ill repute' in Osgiliath, a tavern where alcohol, weed were served alongside food by rather buxon maids.

What Do?
[X] Settle in Osgiliath?
[X] Go West and South to Umbar?
[X] Go North to Rohan?
[X] Go North into the Misty Mountains? You remember some Goblin and Orc strongholds there.
[X] Write In
 
[X] Go West and South to Umbar?

This seems to be the safest option. It also has ocean access, being a port city. This should let us leverage our powers the most.
