Mordain Roleplaying Logs

'Orcs have always behaved like that, or so all tales say, when they are on their own. But you can't get much hope out of it. They hate us far more, altogether and all the time. If those two had seen us, they would have stopped all their quarrel until we were dead.'

These logs of Mordain Roleplaying are in chronological order, or at least as close as I could get them, and though many pieces are missing they do form a rough outline of the major events in the recent history of Mordor.
We hope you enjoy these excerpts of life in the Land Where Shadows Lie.
