Topic: Kinstrife


  
  HeroQuest-RPG: Re: [HeroWars] Re: Uroxi sense Chaos-tainted/marked ?
Your position originally was that kinstrife was chaos.
In the case of kinstrife, the connection is weak because the myth that defines it does not mention chaos.
His actions would be kinstrife if he was warring with his kin first and turned to Krarsht to get revenge.

 Corsairs of Umbar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They took to pillaging and piracy along the coasts of Gondor.
During the Kinstrife, the defeated rebels of Gondor fled to Umbar — by this time Umbar became the hated enemy of Gondor.
By the time of the War of the Ring, the Corsairs had mixed with the Haradrim, becoming a mixed people where Númenórean blood was mostly gone.

Presume, later had this to say, "Obviously, activating the device wasn't a good idea, but we were determined to learn the nature of the construct." Consequently, week 10, Nessie was sent back down to investigate the possibilities of bringing the device up to the surface.
Moments later, when he came to, Krendsah realized that most of the KinStrife 's life supports had ceased to function, and that most of her crew and shipguard were badly injured.
Starkey went on to report that damage to the KinStrife was most extensive, as almost all of her electronic gear was destroyed by the electrical feedback, as well as all her engines, both thrust and jump.

 TolkienWiki: Castamir
From his base at Pelargir, Castamir held power over all the sea-ward regions of Gondor and saw himself as the inheritor of the proud legacy of Númenor.
Yet it was during the Kinstrife that Castamir truly came to the fore, becoming the leader of the rebel Dúnedain disputing the Kingship of Eldacar, Valacar 's son.
Castamir and his followers succeeded in ousting the King, beseiging him in the city of Osgiliath before finally putting that fair city to the torch.

Among the ancient ancestral spirits who accompanied Saint Veloth and the Chimer into the promised land of Morrowind, the four Daedra Lords, Malacath, Mehrunes Dagon, Molag Bal, and Sheogorath, are known as the Four Corners of the House of Troubles.
These Daedra Lords rebelled against the counsel and admonition of the Tribunal, causing great kinstrife and confusion among the clans and Great Houses.
Malacath, Mehrunes Dagon, Molag Bal, and Sheogorath are holy in that they serve the role of obstacles during the Testing.

 Moirades Lives!
Fazzur's household forces were easily a match to the royal army, and Fazzur was too experienced in military magics for Moirades to gain an advantage in his own field of expertise.
It was a tragic kinstrife among the Fazzurites which prevented open civil war in 1629, but the tension left Moirades unable to intercept Argrath's marriage to the Feathered Horse Queen.
In the first year of his campaign, Moirades was captured by Jandetin the Avenger, and found his deserved punishment for the atrocities his troops incurred in the 1615 invasion.

Nice idea and feel to this but it is a lot like prose.
The part about the speaker making it out of there and not having to appologize for salty biscuits and that this is a pun doesn't make sense to me. It could be tightened up some.

The Black Númenóreans were permanently scattered when Umbar was taken in 1015 T.A. by Umbardacil.
Some of them fell directly under Sauron's rule, others remained as lords of the Haradrim, and returned to Umbar after the Kinstrife of Gondor in 1448 when the sons of Castamir the Usurper made Umbar their city.
This caused an influx of new Númenórean blood, and the Black Númenóreans were temporarily renewed.

 Questlines: Taroskarla - A Far Point Founding Myth
It links the Godtime exploits of Odayla the Hunter with the exile journey of the clan founders, the Far Walkers, and with the regional hero cult of the Animal Twins.
It evokes the strong local characteristics of independence, defiance and identification with the land, as well as documenting the continuing cycles of clan violence fuelled by oath-breaking and kinstrife.
Through all the years that have passed, through kinstrife and invasion and suffering and defeat, this holy bond has sustained us.

 The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - The Rohirrim
I believe the predecessors of the Rohirrim originally were the peoples of Rhovannion (from whom the kinstrife eventually arose when Valacar married the daughter of the King of Rhovannion).
Of course, during the Kinstrife they assisted Eldacar against Castimir.
Eldacar eluded his enemies, and came to the North, to his kinsfolk in Rhovanion.

During the first millenia of the age, they proved strong enemies of their distant kin the Dúnedain of Gondor, but were permanently scattered when Umbar was taken.
Some of them fell directly under Sauron's rule, others returned to Umbar after the Kinstrife of Gondor.
They still retained many of the ancient characteristics of the Edain, like their cousins the Dúnedain, although since their blood mixed more with lesser Men than that of the Dúnedain the length of their lives had dwindled to that of lesser Men by the end of the Third Age.

It would be nice if you could do an Osgiliath map where you fight the battle of Osgiliath during the kinstrife and have the great bridge destroyed.
However, when I mentioned an Osgiliath invasion, I was immagining during the War of the Ring, when the orcs storm across on their way to Minas Tirith.
