'''Eredane''' is the setting for the [[Midnight]] rules. In theory as with [[Arcana Unearthed]] you could adapt the rules to some other setting; Eredane is the Beleriand to AU's Land. In practice it's tied closely to the setting and there's no easy way to move your campaign back to the setting's origins that won't piss off The Lawyers.

Also, although the world Aryth (it's like Earth but not!) extends beyond this continent, we're not told much about the others. So "Eredane" it is.

=The Map=
Pretty blocky; a peninsula off an arctic continent. West half is <strike>Doriath</strike> Erethor, the alfheim. As to the rest, the Kaladrun Mountains block the east, with a thin Chile-like "white desert" and the Island of Asmadar beyond that, neither of which anyone cares about. In between is the Sea of Pelluria. Pelluria divides Northern Erenland, the Dorn homeland; from Southern Erenland which is more fertile and populous.

Northern Erenland blends in with the Marches, and then Izrador's base up in the Vale of Tears.

=Races=
*[[Humans]] can be one of three different ethnic groups. Dorn were here first, Sarcosans later; Erenlanders are a hybrid of these two.
*Two kinds of [[Dwarves]]: underground & civilized, or surface-dwelling & barbaric.
*There are four kinds of [[Elves]]: Jungle, Sea, Snow, Wood - each of which is adapted to different kinds of forest.
*[[Gnomes]] are riverboat people, and can hybridize with Dwarves to create [[Dwarrow]].
*[[Halflings]] can be agrarian or nomadic, and can hybridize with Elves to create [[Elfling]]s.
*[[Orcs]] are *big surprise* mostly soldiers of the Dark God, but are playable (and can hybridize with Dwarves to create [[Dworg]]s).

=Tragic Backstory=
Izrador is for the morgoth of the continent and, by extension, the planet. The other gods threw him down here and locked the key, as [[C.S. Lewis]] had them do in ''Out Of The Silent Planet''. Izrador wants out and believes he can do that if he channels all Aryth's magic to fuel a brute force attempt. Over three iterations, Izrador has moved to conquer Eredane.

These track closely with various sorties Morgoth did against the Noldor in [[The Silmarillion]]. The first war, in FA 5133, ended in the Battle of Three Kingdoms with a resounding victory for the Elves and the (Dorn) Men. After that, SA 230, more men came from the south: the Carcosans. The second age ended in the Battle For The Wall, the Sudden Flame in this setting: it dragged out into a stalemate, giving <strike>the Scots</strike> the Orcs the advantage as time goes on.

In ''this'' game you get to roleplay what it was like after the Unnumbered Tears. The best hope for recovery has turned traitor.

==The Night Kings==
Over the harsh embattled Third Age, four great heroes took charge of the war effort. Ardherin served as Queen Aradil's right hand. Jahzir Kamael, cousin to King Kali of Erenland, led the armies of Men in the north. Further south Sunalael advised the Sarcosans in the Divine ways of the Sorshef. And there's a dragon, Zardrix.

These four broke bad. Real bad. Now they're all [[Nazgul]], to various degrees; Ardherin and Zardrix struggle against their bonds, and they all jockey amongst each other. Izrador finds it all amusing.

In TA 893, King Hedgreg fell to Izrador's horde, earning the name "The Last".

Have fun!
