"Arvedui you shall call him, for he will be the last in Arthedain."
- Malbeth the Seer upon the birth of Prince Arvedui, T.A. 1864
It is year 1964 of the Third Age of Arda.
Araphant, King of Arthedain, is dead. His son, Arvedui, has taken the throne despite prophecies predicting that he would be the the final king of this broken realm.
And those prophecies seem more likely by the day. Angmar and the Witch-king's dominance grows while the power of the Free People diminishes. Rhudaur, to the east, is little more than a tributary of Angmar ruled by the Hill-man descendants of the Usurper Kings. Cardolan is long fallen to invasion and plague. The only realms of men outside of Arthedain are city-states who cowtow to Arthedain and Angmar in turn.
You have been contacted by a courier from Fornost Erain, capital of Arthedain. The House of Isildur has a task for you and the fate of Arda may rely on your success.
You have arrived and await upon the arrival of King Arvedui.
