ancient beings‚,
“like: tom bombadil, gwaihir, goldenberry”[/size]
▪ wise ▪ mysterious ▪ magical ▪ "stuck in time" ▪ not main canons [/size]
Ancient beings are old beings that do not belong into any of the other categories. They are one race that can be divided into many. Ancient beings are everything from nymphs, fairies, trolls, mermaids, eagles and everything else you believe the middle earth needs. We do not allow vampires and werewolves here, but if we change that rule, they will be placed under this category as well. Famous ancient beings are Tom Bombadil, his lovely wife Goldenberry and the eagle Gwaihir.[/center]
the ents‚,
“all tree species can be used for a herder”[/size]
▪ tree-whisperers ▪ ancient ▪ nature-loving ▪ lost wives ▪ bound to the forest [/size]
Ents are tree-herders. They have come to look like trees. They live in Fangorn Forest, although Merry has heard tales of similar creatures in the Old Forest which borders The Shire. The Ents generally keep to themselves and only look after the trees of the forest. They are slowly dying off since the Ent-wives disappears many years ago. Toward the end of the Third Age, they are an almost forgotten legend.[/center]
the hobbits‚,
“like: frodo, samwise, merry and pippin”[/size]
▪ unseen ▪ big hearts ▪ loveable ▪ small ▪ peaceful [/size]
Hobbits are short in stature, generally around three and a half to four feet tall, which is why they are also known as Halflings. They are a simple, earthy people, who farm and live in expansive caves that they call Holes. They also enjoy conversation, a good cup of ale, smoking pipe weed and frequent meals and snacks. They have lived for years in The Shire mostly ignored by Big People. Only Dwarves on their way to the White Mountains and Elves on their way to the Grey Havens pass through The Shire and even they take little interest in the Halfling. Gandalf, a Wizard, has however taken an interest in Hobbits and periodically visits The Shire.[/center]
the elves‚,
“like: elrond, galadriel, arwen”[/size]
▪ immortality ▪ wisdom ▪ magic ▪ depressive ▪ emotional [/size]
Elves are immortal. They can only die in battle. When they grow tired of Middle Earth, they go to the Grey Havens, which are near The Shire and sail to the Undying Lands. as the Third Age of Middle Earth comes to an end, the time of the Elves is waning. Only a few remain. Elves have a love of nature and they live in forests. They are skilled craftsmen. Major settlements remain in Lothlórien (home of Celeborn and Galadriel), Mirkwood (home of Legolas), and Rivendell (home to Elrond). They distrust Dwarves because of their greedy tendencies. So how do you calculate your elf's age? One of our members helped us finding out how. You take the "human age" your character would have been and then times it with 144.[/center]
the dwarves‚,
“like: gimli, gloin, balin”[/size]
▪ strong ▪ hard skin ▪ good with rocks ▪ hairy women ▪ bad riders [/size]
Dwarves are shorter in stature than Men, but stout. They are renowned for their skill in metal working, mining and wood-cutting as well as their love of feasting and drinking ale. They tend to hoard precious metals, which has led to problems such as when they delved too deeply for mithril in Moria and awakened a Balrog which was known as Durin's Bane. Dwarves are skilled in decorative metalwork. Axes are often their weapon of choice. They are quick-tempered and are distrustful of Elves. It is hard to discern dwarf women from the men becaue they also have beards.[/center]
maiars‚,
“like: gandalf, saruman, sauron”[/size]
▪ wise ▪ magical ▪ powerful ▪ bound to a mission ▪ higher beings [/size]
The Maiar were those spirits which descended to Arda to help the Valar to shape the World. They were supposed to be numerous, yet not many were named. Their chiefs were Eönwë, banner-bearer and herald of Manwë, and Ilmarë, the handmaid of Varda. Each of the Maiar was associated with one or more particular Vala, and were of similar stock, though less powerful. For example, Ossë and Uinen, as spirits of the sea, belonged to Ulmo, while Curumo or Cunneir who came to be known in Middle-earth as Saruman, belonged to Aulë the Smith. Others included Sauron (originally also of Aulë's people), Aiwendil, who was known in Middle-Earth as Radagast the Brown and belonged to Yavanna, and Olórin, known as Gandalf, who belonged to Manwë and Varda, but his ways took him often to the house of Nienna, and of her he learned pity and patience, which perhaps aided him in his later struggles to unite the Free Peoples of Middle-earth against the power of Sauron. Alatar and Pallando, known as the Blue Wizards, travelled to the east, and never returned to the west; Their fate is unknown.[/center]
nazgûl‚,
“can only be canons - the nine”[/size]
▪ poisonous ▪ powerful ▪ "immortal" ▪ bound to the ring ▪ wraiths [/size]
The Nazgûl also known by many other names, were evil servants of Sauron in Middle-earth. They were said to be "his most terrible servants." They served Sauron throughout the Second and Third Age The Nazgul are among the highest and deadliest servants of Sauron. The Nazgûl were once great Kings of Men, until Sauron gave them nine Rings of Power. These proved to be their undoing; they eventually became invisible to all save he who wore the One Ring. Only through black cloaks and hauberks of silver mail were they given form. Though their Manly form was completely gone and invisible to mortal eyes, except through their attire, their hypnotic red eyes, which in a rage appeared in a hellish fire, could still be seen. There are nine Nazgûl. The most famous is the Witch King of Angmar, Morgomir a more minor ringwraith that was the lieutenant of Angmar in the conquering of Arnor, and Khamûl is the second most powerful under the Witch King. The unnamed Nazgûl have been given unofficial names and histories such as The Undying, The Tainted, The Dark Marshal, The Shadow Lord, The Betrayer, The Dwimmerlaik, and The Knight of Umbar.

humans‚,
“like: aragorn, faramir, eowyn and theoden”[/size]
▪ patriotic ▪ easily influenced ▪ strong race ▪ many abilities ▪ mortal [/size]
Breelanders: Breelanders are Men who share a community with Hobbits in the town of Bree, which is located along the East Road outside The Shire. Bree is said to be an older settlement than The Shire since Hobbits actually migrated from the East. The Men of Bree are often referred to as Big Folk to differentiate them from the Hobbits, or Little Folk. They are the only Men who regularly mix with Hobbits, which means that they are the only Men who don't find the Hobbits' diminutive size extraordinary (as demonstrated by Boromir at Rivendell).
Corsairs of Umbar: The Corsairs of Umbar are descendants of the Gondorians, but these Men have taken to the sea as pirates and mercenaries. As such they are loyal only to themselves. Umbar is located to the south of Gondor.
Easterlings: The Easterlings are Men from the kingdom Of Rhûn, which is located in the East of Middle Earth. It also borders Mordor to the North. They have allied themselves with Sauron. They are seen by Frodo, Gollum and Sam entering the Black Gate of Mordor. When Frodo is determined to enter Mordor and stumbles toward the Black Gate, he and Sam are almost spotted by two Easterlings.
Gondorians:Gondorians are Men who descended from the ancient kingdom of Númenor. Gondor had once ruled much of Middle Earth, but its power has faded. It's once glorious cities have slowly fallen into disrepair and the White Tree has died, though its stump remains. Since the death of the last King, Isildur, Gondor has been ruled by Stewards.
Haradrim: Men from the kingdom located to the South of Gondor and Mordor who have allied themselves with Sauron. While Frodo, Gollum and Sam travel through Ithilien, they see a force of Haradrim with Oliphaunts. Suddenly, the Haradrim are ambushed and Frodo and Sam find themselves captured by what turns out to be Ithilien Rangers, which are Gondorians commanded by Faramir.
Rohirrim: The Rohirrim are a rugged people who are less refined than the Gondorians who live to their south. However, the Rohirrim are well-known as Horse-Lords and breeders of a fine stock of horses. They have often come to the aid of the Gondorians. However, in recent years, their kingdom has gone into decline and has come under new threat from Saruman who lives to the west in Isengard.
Wild Men: The Wild Men were displaced when Eorl was granted the land of Rohan by the Steward of Gondor. They were driven into the hills by the Rohirrim and have resented them ever since. They now dwell in harsher terrain of Dunland and have also come to be known as Dunlendings. [/center]
the orcs,‚
“like: warg riders and the mouth of sauron”[/size]
▪ poor day sight ▪ night vision ▪ cannibals ▪ can only move in dark ▪ stupidity [/size]
Orcs are said to be the result of the corruption of Elves. They do not like the light and prefer dark places like caves such as Moria. They generally don't even come out in daylight. They enjoy destruction and serve evil in Middle Earth such as Sauron and Saruman. [/center]
uruk-hais,‚
“mixed orc with troll”[/size]
▪ strong ▪ fierce ▪ can move at day ▪ unintelligent ▪ cannibals [/size]
The Uruk-hai are the product of Saruman's attempts to create a fighter that improved on Orcs by being far stronger and unaffected by sunlight. It is theorized that they resulted from breeding of Orcs and Men. There were also apparently Uruk-hai in Mordor in the service of Sauron, although these don't seem to appear onscreen in the films. It is unknown whether these Uruk-hai are directly related to Saruman's breed of Uruk-hai.[/center]
