Age of the Ring: Lothlorien Elves

Age of the Ring: Lothlorien Elves

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.

Marchwardens of Lorien
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 25 USD
Role assigned to: jswayward

Mood: Disciplined, wise, calm. These are the true military force of Lothlórien and are the main guard of its borders. They have some Sindarin lines – feel  free to hit us up on Discord to discuss Elven pronunciation: https://discord.gg/8NP6SJd - but you can also just watch a few Elvish clips from LotR to get a general feel. Whatever sounds good – we’re purists, but not by that much. 

Accent: Received Pronunciation – Elves are British.

Note: dh in ‘Galadhrim’ is pronounced as "th" in "the"

  • Attack Ranged - aggressive, determined

    -Hado i philinn! (Hurl the arrows!)

    -Shoot them down!

    -Cut them down!

    -To battle, Elves!


    Move - determined

    -Lord Celeborn commands us.

Lórilinde - Lorien Tree Singer
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 25 USD
Role assigned to: Moira Todd

Lórilinde [Loh-ri-lyn-deh, roll the R] - Golden Singer

The Lórien Tree-singer is the builder/worker. She summons up Elven structures (trees) through song and magic.

Accent: Received pronunciation

Mood: Kind, ethereal, full of wisdom, working in deference to the player, who in this case is the tree-singer’s ‘executive’, perhaps Lord Celeborn or Galadriel themselves. The Tree-singer has great respect for the natural world and treats it with wonder and reverence. Her voice is similar to other Elves we hear in the LotR films: she speaks with a slightly lowered pitch.

  • Please sing the melody of a verse of A Elbereth Gilthoniel, as heard in this video from 0:45 to 1:25 - https://youtu.be/6CfRJSKk2Ls?t=45

    A Elbereth Gilthoniel

    I Chin a Thul lin Miriel     (Chin like a soft German sound, like in chutzpah)

    Fanuilos le linnathon

    Ne ndor haer thar i aearon       (ae is like the word "I" , so "I - ah - ron" for the last)


    Try your best with the pronunciation, it need not be perfect for the audition but we will want an authentic Elvish sound.

  • Spoken Lines: 

    - Blessings of Yavanna

    - The Lady has charged me with your keeping, Hirilorn (referring to the tree)

    - They bring fire and rot!   (under attack)

Celeborn - Lord of the Galadhrim
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 25 USD
cast offsite

Celeborn is the Lord of the Galadhrim, husband and co-ruler to Galadriel. He is serious, deliberate, and calculated in his speech. He takes his time to enunciate. His wisdom is paramount, making him confident and certain in his pronouncements. He has seen much suffering during the Elves’ ‘long defeat’, but understands that abandoning hope isn’t a ‘logical’ thing to do, because not even the very wise can see all ends. Celeborn understands the importance of martial prowess, and his skill as a warrior is only matched by his wisdom.

Accent: Received Pronunciation, see Celeborn from the film here: https://youtu.be/e47aXZzp5iI?t=60  Note: there is some Elvish in this script. Pronunciation of Elvish doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to sound good, ethereal, and distinctly un-English. If you are unsure of pronunciation, please contact us!

  • Attack Lines:

    -Throw them back into their pits!

    -Tolo na naur! (Come to the fire!)

    -Do not let them leave these lands!

  • Select Lines:

    -Mae govannen. (Well met)

    -We will keep these lands safe.

    -We are come now to the edge of doom.

    -Lothlórien, too, shall fade in time.


  • Power 1: Wise Beyond Measure

    -Mae carnen, mellon nîn. (thank you, my friends)

    -I bestow upon you my counsel.

    Power 4: Cunning Warrior

    -Begone, beasts of shadow!

    -Face my wrath!
