And thus, the ten great heroes joined the war for Middle Earth.
Griskal stepped outside from his hut. The sunlight shone around him, and the trees stood tall and mighty. Today, the Rivendell Elves will ride out to the aid of its Human and Dwarven allies. They will ride to both Minas Tirith and Erebor. What will you do?
Khan left the barracks, his sword hefted beside him. Osgilliath’s fine walls reflected the sunlight in his eyes. The attack from Mordor will come in 3 days. What do you do?
A pigeon landed on Hjama’s shoulder. In its claws, it carried a message saying, “All hope is not lost for you, my friend. You must find the bearer of the ring that was entrusted to us so many years back. His name is Aragorn. Should you find him, he will release you from your curse to die.”
Hamin was met by the Men of Dale a few days after he found the mace. They brought him back to the lonely mountain, and put him in charge of a unit of Guardians. He would be marching to Mirkwood, they said, to help their ‘Elven Brethren’ fight Sauron’s minions.
Faultrng marched with the rest of his Uruk-Hai brothers. They were going to invade Rohan, the white wizard said, and they were thirsty for blood. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, they chanted.
Skorgrim Stone led his axedwarves through the forest. As the first unit of reinforcements to the Elves, they had chosen him, a nobledwarf’s bastard son, to lead their unit. As he chatted idly with his best friend, a silverthorn arrow sailed through the woods, landing right beside his head, followed by a quickly shouted apology.
Grishnak walked next to Faultrng. He was the commander of the left Uruk-Hai brothers, an unofficial position bestowed by the men. As one of Saruman’s elite, he was given an enchanted crossbow, which he regularly used to bash heads in with.
Sharai was a fighter. He had been granted a menacing serrated sword a few days past, and was in a jolly mood. Well, at least as jolly as an Uruk-Hai could be. As a Uruk with the rare ability to regenerate wounds extremely quickly, he was put in the vanguard.
Yribdig had just finished making a deal with another goblin. A little rusted iron cleaver, for just a hat. How stupid, he thought. Running along with the rest of the goblin host, he move to attack Mirkwood; the only defense Erebor had from them.
Maethor watched the guard practice from the hill of the White Tree. A long training and sparring session from beforehand left his limbs aching. They were the last defense for Gondor. Should Osgilliath fall, they would be the very last men to fight for the lost kings.
