Casting finished
Thank you ALL who took the time to audition for this project! A lot of talent came out quickly for this and we are blown away. Namarie!
Age of the Ring: Last Days of Arthedain
Project Overview
Age of the Ring is a massive overhaul of the classic Battle for Middle Earth II: The Rise of the Witch King. The mod aims to create an RTS experience that is faithful to the spirit of the Tolkien mythos, with diverse, engaging and balanced gameplay. It features dozens of new heroes, units, spells and abilities as well as new maps and a campaign following the journey of the Fellowship of the Ring. In 2020, we won Mod of the Year on ModDB! Our project is coming to a close, and we are looking to finalize a few remaining roles.
A note for auditioners:
Multiple generations are represented by these different characters, but with the blood of Numenor strong within them, age is more of a marker of wisdom and temperament than vocal quality. Experiment with that thought when reading, and avoid caricature voices!

Voice Actor
Malbeth the Seer
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 20 USD
Role assigned to:
Dallin Bradford
Malbeth was a royal counsellor during the last days of Arthedain. One of Arvedui’s most trusted advisors, Malbeth was known for harbouring the gift of foresight. A wise and wizened man, Malbeth’s prophecies were heeded with much reverence, though his valuable counsel could not in the end prevent the fall of the kingdom he served. Malbeth is an older man, with a deep and compassionate voice. A possible inspiration might be the Emperor Uriel Septim from TES4: Oblivion.

Voice Actor
Lossoth Hunters
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 20 USD
Role assigned to:
Kailynn H
Calm, determined. Ferocious in battle. The Lossoth are a distant northern peoples, in our case inspired by Inuit and Sámi cultures. They are known for building snow-houses, using ice-skating as a mode of transportation, and not too much else. For more inspiration, read http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Lossoth
They speak the Common Tongue, but not well. Their script has several lines written in a fantasy language vaguely based on sounds from various American native languages. These hunters revere (among other, lesser spirits) ‘Arûm’, the spirit of the hunt, their version of the Vala Oróme, who visited their ancestors a very long time ago, now remembered only through disciplined oral traditions. They refer to themselves as yninn - first-men, a word vaguely resembling the Sindarin edain, suggesting a very early encounter with the Elves millennia ago. The Lossoth generally hate orcs and have in the past worked with the ‘good-aligned’ Men of Arnor and more recently the Dúnedain, but they can and have been ‘bought’, either through promise of wealth or threat of violence, by the forces of Sauron.
Accent: ‘Native’, in a very broad sense. We want to communicate the fact that these people are the first inhabitants of a distant land largely unknown to the other residents of Middle-earth.
Attack [these lines are played when the attack command is given. You are in the midst of battle!]
Arûm is with us!
Kalû nûrinn! [Kill the invaders!]
They are unwelcome!
Ûr-tarniq! [Evil spirits!, as in ‘their spirits are of evil’]
Select [outside the chaos of battle]
Yninn.
We defend our home.
Why have you come?
The Enemy has come to our lands…
Salute [when the unit is purchased and first arrives in game]
You called for the yninn?
What do you want from us?
