I am starting to run into difficulties to do with the fact that LotRO is an MMO (constantly updating continuous story always leading to new regions and expansions) and I wrote two characters whose character arcs are (and always were) going to take them back home where they will settle down and live quite happily in relative peace with only intermittent adventures.

#lotro #the leonys of rohan cinematic universe #the black book and the trials of the dwarves stuff were both very much like. leading into eventual adventures #the first game-assigned pc character trait ive had to totally reject is the 'wants to keep adventuring' one because they dont #they really dont #honestly before the new gondor stuff drops im going to have to actually pick a new pc to assign future questlines to as a general rule #i really did not want to send leonys and hathellang to gundabad that shook things up bad #but there were just too many things that lined up in that direction #including the fact that years and years ago i casually threw in a detail #that the bow that leonys used after her original broke in angmar #that she thought was of angmarim make since she took it from them #was actually stolen from gundabad #like random detail that i wasnt going to do anything with but it does add a fitting endcap to the story i think #as for the angmar stuff yes it will be leonys and hathellangs purview but i think i shall heavily au #push it back a few years at least #for various reasons #not least because #the very first time writing fanfic about leonys occurred to me i was in angmar #it wasnt like. a retelling of the plot of the game i was thinking about it was like. 'post canon' stuff #or what was post canon then #but it fit in real well with the angmar stuff #general shape of the idea is that (since a lot of the rangers who were in angmar went with the gc and died)#leonys would be an important resource as a hunter and guide who had been to even the worst parts of angmar #and thus would be involved in some efforts to like. shut down its eventual obvious resurgence #which would happen when the cultists there had to come to terms with the fact that everything they stood for was gone #plot beyond that janky and open ended; 2.5 scenes and vibe
