Free League Publishing Releases Elven Expansion for The One Ring™ RPG and 5E

Prepare to delve deeper into the ethereal beauty and ancient power of Middle-earth’s Elven realms! Free League Publishing has just released two new expansions that promise to enrich your experiences in both The One Ring roleplaying game and its 5E counterpart, Lord of the Rings Roleplaying. Get ready to explore the fading twilight of the Elves with Realms of the Three Rings for The One Ring and Keepers of the Elven-Rings for the 5E system.

It might seem a touch bittersweet to focus on the Elves during the Third Age, a time characterized by their gradual departure from Middle-earth towards the Undying Lands. Yet, these expansions offer a fascinating opportunity to explore the enduring strength and wisdom of the Firstborn in their last havens.

Both books, while tailored to their respective rule sets, aim to illuminate the lives, lore, and lands of the immortal Elves. Imagine stepping into the graceful halls of Rivendell, the serene forests of Lórien, or the western shores of Lindon. These expansions provide the tools to do just that.

Here’s a glimpse into the content you can expect within these captivating new supplements:

Chapter 1: Where The West-elves Still Linger: This section delves into the heartlands of the remaining Elves, offering rich descriptions of Lórien, Rivendell, and Lindon. You’ll also gain insights into the powerful Elf-lords who safeguard these realms and the unique cultures that thrive within them.

Chapter 2: The Days Darken: For the Gamemaster (or Loremaster in The One Ring), this chapter unveils Sauron’s machinations specifically targeting the Elven folk. It presents potential plot hooks, formidable adversaries, and compelling NPC characters to weave into your campaigns, highlighting the unique threats faced by the immortal Elves.

Chapter 3: Landmarks: Explore twelve significant locations, a mix of iconic sites from The Lord of the Rings and new locales crafted specifically for these games. These landmarks promise to be rich settings for adventure and exploration, offering a deeper understanding of the Elven presence in Middle-earth.

The Appendix: This section provides exciting new player options. For The One Ring, you’ll find rules for playing as High Elves of Rivendell and Wood Elves of Lórien, allowing you to embody the grace and wisdom of these ancient beings. Additionally, it introduces guidelines for creating your own mighty Elf-lords, with rules geared towards solo play, offering a unique way to experience the power of these legendary figures. In the Lord of the Rings Roleplaying version, the Elf-lord rules are designed for epic-level play, allowing characters to reach the pinnacle of power at 20th level.

Whether you prefer the narrative focus of The One Ring or the familiar mechanics of 5E, these Elven expansions offer a wealth of new possibilities for your Middle-earth adventures. Both Realms of the Three Rings and Keepers of the Elven-Rings are available now from Free League’s webstore and DriveThruRPG. One Ring Version – 5E Version 

The time has come to journey into the last bastions of the Elves, to walk in their ageless footsteps, and to witness the enduring light in a world slowly growing darker. Adventure awaits in the realms of the Elven-rings!
