Realms of Men 2026 | A Middle-Earth Monthly Calendar
June · Gondor, the South Kingdom, was one of the two great realms of the Dúnedain. Founded at the end of the Second Age by Isildur and Anárion, it became a kingdom of great warriors and seafarers.
Idhrien is many things: Dúnadaneth, Ranger of the North Downs, Healer-Surgeon, Member of the Grey Company, Schoolteacher. But there is one more thing she above all wishes to be...
LOTRO devs: here's this minor vendor NPC, best i can do with her is one (1) quest and a couple of dialogue lines
Me: -slides adoption papers across the table-
close your eyes and imagine freshly roasted root vegetables perfectly seasoned and crispy as far as the eye can see
Rest in Peace, Pîn...
[reference]
By day the countryside shone in vibrant red - red dirt, red rocks, and flecks of small red flowers that had given the kingdom its name. Under the light of the sun, it looked almost innocent. Suddenly, Tirirandir was swept with a surge of painful love for it, a love that each of his Cardolandrim ancestors must have felt the same. Oh, Old Cardolan, he thought, if only you are one day freed from darkness!
Tirnel in Cardolan full story here!

@lotro-week DAY 4: Roleplay, Relationships, Kinships
On a random day in 2024, I decided to transfer my newest character Tirirandir from Belegaer to Laurelin. And everything changed! Getting into RP was the best thing ever: I got to meet so many wonderful people through their characters. Now we create stories together, which has always been one of my favourite things!
Through my kin, the Men of the Lost Realm, we've fostered many close in-character relationships between our characters. From mentor figures to father-in-laws, to brothers-in-arms, to childhood friends, we've truly interwoven our characters' backstories and that makes our little Towerglan feel like such a homely, lived-in place. I'm so glad that Tirnel and his sister have found a home here and I'm thankful for the lovely friends I found through this game <3

May · Umbar was a realm at the Bay of Belfalas, south of Gondor. First established by Númenóreans, it was later inhabited by the Corsairs, who used large fleets of great ships to attack the North.
Your character needs to be put through horrors so great that they don't even know how to ever talk about what happened. Years have passed and they have people they love and trust with their life now, but they're still unable to tell them about everything they've been through.
It's just too much and they've been shaped by it so thoroughly that talking about it in any way would feel like they're peeling their skin off and completely exposing every vulnerable part of themself.
Dr Tibbett and Dr Pritchard on call...
(Tirnel and Idi but in a medical soap...?)
“It was always you” is just so good. It was always you. The second we met, it was you. It was you even when I didn’t want it to be you. It was you even when it was someone else. It was you. It was you. It was you. I belong to you, even if you don’t know it yet. I will never belong to someone else, I only belong to you. Don’t you get that? It was always you.

A pivotal scene in Hroswyn's life. Her husband's gone to war on the Pelennor Fields, Aldburg is full of largely defenceless refugees, and now the horizon is glowing red from enemy fires... indeed, wouldn't it be too easy if the evil only concentrated their efforts on Minas Tirith like everyone else? So she dusts off her hauberk, rallies all the women that are able and ready to use a weapon, equips them with whatever rusty chainmail and dented helmet she can find, and sets up to defend the city and all the people in it from the coming storm...
Rohirrim enjoyers, what are your thoughts on the existence of other shieldmaidens during the War of the Ring?
I imagine the Rohirrim as rather pragmatic, especially among the lower/working classes of more remote areas of the Eastemnet, where my stories are set: life is dangerous, there's always been enemies at the East Wall, so if a woman has the means and chance to become a warrior, it is possible for her.
But gender roles are not entirely absent from my headcanon either: a shieldmaiden's job is not to ride into war but to protect her home ("The women of this country learned long ago, those without swords can still die upon them") and while the occupation is not explicitly discouraged, surely some men will hold the opinion that a woman's life is better suited to homemaking and bearing children.
In this dichotomy plays my character Hroswyn's story, a captain's daughter and trained shieldmaiden who unexpectedly becomes a mother and finds herself torn away from her dream to one day succeed her father.
So yes, I think they exist, but not because of scholarly or smart reasons. I just like the thought and it fits the stories and themes I, as a woman, like to explore with my characters... and, to be fair, my reading of Tolkien has never been as explicitly misogynistic as other people's. I just think most Rohirrim see a woman with a sword and go 'hell yeah'. :3
Five years had passed since the battles of the War of the Ring, which, regretfully, Tirirandir had survived.
