Do I reveal the truth now or is it too soon? @GrumpySwallow @AngryAngryAnarchist

One thing that I thought of that would be super cool is Arnor during the war with the Witch King.

Of course!

That sounds perfect!

No. I haven't quite decided what form it will take.

Well really just all sorts of help. You guys have been awesome and are giving me lots of great ideas and stuff to think about.

That's pretty cool but I am actually doing a different sort of campaign, more akin to the Mass Migrations/Barbarian Invasions of the European Dark Ages than the conquest of a completely new world.

Well technically the Day of Black Sun is less of an "Invasion" and more of a Raid.

I was thinking that they'd be invading because they were promised the land by their allies. Only problem is the people who currently live there. Kind of like the Anglo-Saxons who were promised land in exchange for working as mercenaries or like Rohan when they came to help Gondor.

What is with this newfangled conception that invasions are wrong? But then again, having the players backing a rival claimant could be nice, it'd be like William the Conqueror.

Definitely. I am thinking they'll be sort of like the Rohirrim in Lord of the Rings. At least Culturally and Aesthetically. I tend to do things where I build a world and then find out how my players fit into this. Mostly the reason they are fighting is the tale as old as time, resources. The...

I am doing a written roleplay thanks a ton for the advice.

My other thing I was thinking of was the Anglo Saxon Invasion.

Well I was thinking more of a conquest vibe. Not Genocide, just Conquest. Kind of a mix I guess.

That too

Well I'm kind of struggling with coming up with a setting. Do you think that Vinland would be a good one?

Well if the premise is them being Invaders I doubt that they will be too sensitive. Or if they are, they just won't join. But I mostly posted this to get more help with the format of the RP.

I'm thinking of having them be morally gray. Not evil but not good either.

I find the Silmarillion to be much more interesting once it gets around to the mortals doing stuff. The Wars in Belariond is way cooler than the Maiar making the world. At least in my opinion.
