Welcome to your Character Application page

To Register please do here before you make a new character. It is quick and painless!

Here at Shadows of Isildur, characters are by application only. This allows us to screen any new incoming PCs to ensure that the integrity of the roleplaying environment is preserved; also, it means we're at your disposal if you're stuck without any good character ideas! Don't be afraid to ask the guides or staff if you need help at any point. We have a New Players Forum too.

We also have information on Character Creation on our player wiki and we have an online help section filled with lots of information for new players.

For information on all the playing areas and possibilities we have a forum for you - The Guide to Your Playing Areas.

We base ourselves five hundred years before the War of the Rings, a time before Rohan or Frodo, when the Watchful Peace was shattered as Osgiliath fell to the Witch-king and his uruk-hai army until Boromir the First confronted him on the Great Bridge and drove him back to Minas Morgul. The Corsairs have begun raiding Gondor's southern shores and war has been declared between Gondor and the Haradrim. Ithilien has been reclaimed, but ever bolder Balchoth Easterlings and orc tribes grow in strength in the mountains and threaten to take it back.

Everyone is based on the same map around North Ithilien. Join us as a Gondorian fighting Mordor, as one of the Haradrim beginning a new life in the Spire fortress of Mordor, an Orc in the Warbands of Mordor, or as a Northman beginning a new life in the town of Caolafon north of Ithilien in the Wetwang marshes.

Be aware, that when you go back to a previous step, character data may be lost, and you will have to re-enter it. Be sure to keep a copy of your application.
