All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

 Welcome to the Blades of Arnor
 

We are a mature, easy going and loyal Lord of the Rings Online kinship based on the Snowbourn server who are up for just about anything in the game as long as it's fun. Questing, crafting, exploring, hunting, grinding, soloing, grouping, raiding, monster playing, pipeweed smoking, beer drinking, it's all good.

The kinship was founded by Bron on 16 April 2007 and is now rank 10. We have a beautiful kinship hall at 5 Waterbank Road, Gloruihir, Falathlorn Homesteads and Supreme Masters in all crafting professions.

We don't strive to be the largest kinship or the most successful raiders. Our aim is simply to be the friendliest and most helpful kinship in Europe. We don't badger our members about their level or progress, we don't put demands on them to group or join events or play for x number of hours a week. We're just about the game, the friendship and a few laughs along the way.

We hail from all over Europe and welcome players from anywhere else in the world. You don't have to be any particular class or level to join. Our only membership requirement is that you're relaxed and easy-going with no e-peen issues.

If we sound like the kinship for you, register above and then write a little about yourself on our Recruitment Forum, and we'll get you in ASAP!

Alternatively, speak to one of our Officers in-game and we'll take it from there. Current officers include Aelric (leader), Helmer, Berylia, Yodion, Ennazus, Aethewyn, and Dimodir.

  
 
 
  

 
  
 
 
The Blades of Arnor Lore

The Blades of Arnor are the descendents of the honour guard of Eärendur, the last king of ancient Arnor.  When Arnor collapsed into civil war following Eärendur's death in III 861 the Blades sided with his eldest son at his capital of Fornost in the newly founded kingdom of Arthedain, although their loyalty to the idea of Arnor remained undiminished.

As Arnor's greatness slipped into history a new and dark power rose in the north-east: Angmar, led by the chief of Sauron's Nazgûl himself.  The Witch King preyed on the old emnities between Arthedain, Rhudaur and Cardolan, the three successor kingdoms of Arnor, and eventually he brought sword and flame to all of them.

After centuries of bitter war and treachery, the final battle against Angmar was fought at Fornost.  Strengthened by forces from Gondor and elves from Lindon and Rivendell, the remnants of Arthedain's armies broke Angmar and pushed the Witch King out of Eriador and back to Mordor, far to the south.  The victory, however, was too late to save the dream of Arnor.  Arthedain, the last hope for a united kingdom in the north, was utterly destroyed.

In the centuries since then the Blades of Arnor have remained as a secret society spread across the whole of Middle-earth, watching and preparing for the next war with the Witch King and his master Sauron.  Their membership has been handed down from father to son and their numbers maintained by recruiting others loyal to their cause.  Men, elves, dwarves and even humble halflings from the Shire all now muster under the banner of ancient Arnor, waiting for Isildur's Heir to return to rebuild the great northern kingdom and its capital of Annúminas.

And now, two thousand years after the final destruction of Arnor, the icy claw of the Witch King of Angmar once more stretches across Eriador.  Orcs, goblins and other fell creatures issue from Carn Dûm intent on spreading death and destruction at the behest of their foul master and, through him, of Sauron himself.  Once more the ancient lands of Arnor are under siege.

   The call to arms is sounded! And again the Blades of Arnor answer.
