The Darkening of Mirkwood
Smaug the Terrible is dead, and there is a new king in Dale; even on the far side of Mirkwood, a great cloud of dread has lifted from the minds of the free folk of Wilderland. Trade and travel have resumed between the Men, Dwarves and Elves of the region, and the Woodmen of Mirkwood set about enlarging their holdings. Even the great forest of Mirkwood seems less dark than it once was.
But that is not destined to last for long. In the ensuing decades, darkness will grow once more. Heroes will be needed to stem the advance of the Enemy, who seeks to subjugate all those who stand against him. Can a company of heroes change the fate of the Woodmen, and Wilderland as a whole?
This campaign will center on the lands of the Woodmen, and their story as the shadow lengthens in Mirkwood, using the Darkening of Mirkwood campaign for The One Ring. The focus of the campaign is the changes and upheavals that the war will bring to Wilderland: whatever the outcome of the conflict, the actions of the heroes will affect the fate of the land and shape its history.
