- RahRah, this means so much to us. To us all. Thank you so much for your kind, kind words.
- Hailing from Mithlond, Aerlind (@estelofimladris.bsky.social) has led a life like few of his kin. And as the age of Elves comes to an end and his people leave these shores, the time has come for him to learn more of Middle-earth, this world he has served for so long. But certain scars yet linger...
- Joining our cast and reprising his award-winning role from @happyjacksrpg.bsky.social's The Unsung Tales, @estelofimladris.bsky.social has built a reputation as an emotive, brilliant player, with beautiful performances as Xainan on @transplanarrpg.bsky.social and the Architect on @tendervicious.com.
- Chicory Taproot (@seum.bsky.social) is a long way from the Shire. Her staff is broken. Her hope dwindling. And in her dreams she sees a looming tidal wave of shadow... She knows not what dangers lurk in Rhûn. But she has vowed to protect her friends. And it is a promise she will keep until the end.
- The unseen producer behind WWP's Stream to Serve actual plays - including @edenfalls.bsky.social - Twitch Ambassador @seum.bsky.social has served as a host of Orlando’s premiere gaming convention @gcxevent.bsky.social, and has been featured on KOllOK, and @captainrobear.com's Stormforge as Loluphia.
- As the fellowship travel to Rhûn, seeking answers about The Dark Tree, for Iairen (@critbard.tv) this quest means something else entirely. For in this land lies the secret of his parents, and the key to a power that has been building inside him. Will he rise to meet it? Or fall before the last...?
- Jack of all Trades and "master of like three of them," @critbard.tv's impact on the RPG space is immeasurable, known for their appearances in @beadleandgrimms.com's Faster, Purple Worm! Kill Kill! and @gameratergirl.bsky.social's Realmwalkers, along with creating songs for @criticalrole.bsky.social!

- With the help of her fellowship, Mistiel (@blackgirlmage.bsky.social) has laid to rest the memory of her brother, his soul twisted by the Enemy. But grief is seldom so simple. Ghosts yet haunt her.

- Theodas (@jwcartwright.bsky.social) has spent so much of his long life chasing the shadows of Middle-earth. And he has done so alone. Until now. His time with the fellowship has changed him. Now, he searches for something new: hope. For there is light in this world. He has seen it in his friends.

- Though a new road begins, familiar footsteps walk upon it... Eona (@causticphoenix.bsky.social) has given up everything. Her title. Her people. Even her shield.

- Host of riotous PvP show @d20deathmatch.bsky.social, @thegamehers.bsky.social award-winner, Amelia in WWP's Electric State series @edenfalls.bsky.social, and a Dungeon Master for Dream Hack, Bec is a monumental voice within the space, and reprises her award-winning performance as Eona for Book Two!
