The Fourth Age | Book Three @calltoadventure.bsky.social · 1d

WE ARE LIVE WITH OUR PREMIERE!

The armies of the Dark Tree are on the move. Middle-earth will fall. And all that stands between the Reunited Kingdom and its ruin is a fellowship of six. But in the face of such shadow, is hope enough...?

WATCH HERE: twitch.tv/woundedwarriorproject

See you in chat!

Aerlind, a tall and handsome Elf with warm-toned, fair skin. He has deep black, straight hair that cascades down his back in a gentle wave, tied back with braids. He has monolid, warm amber eyes. He wears smart, finely made elven robes and leather armour in shades of sea blues and greens. A bow is slung over his shoulder, and in his hand he carries a golden astrolabe. He stands against a wide and warm coastline.

In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Chapter One: What May Be Preserved.”

It wouldn't be a premiere without some tech issues!

We'll be live as soon as we're able with the premiere for our third and final season of The Fourth Age, the award-winning imagined next chapter in Middle-earth's history!

We'll see you soon.

Tomorrow, The Fourth Age comes to an end...

The forces of The Dark Tree descend upon the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. And all that stand between this ancient evil and the ruination of Middle-earth are six heroes: a fellowship.

Our third and final season begins tomorrow, 12:30pm Pacific.

Six individuals stood together, looking down into a cloudy valley:

- Theodas. A muscular Elf with strong dark features, framed by a thick, greying beard, wearing a grey cloak over a dull golden chestpiece.
- Iairen. A human with handsome, dark features, his face framed with long brown hair with a soft kink to it, wearing a dark blue robe. He holds a spherical seeing-stone in his hands.
- Mistiel. An Elf with beautiful dark features and long white braids, wearing a hooded auburn cloak over dark leather armour.
- Eona. A woman with tanned features and long black hair, intertwined with golden scales, wearing heavy brown leather armour and a single steel pauldron with fur lining.
- Chicory Taproot. A Hobbit with delicate, pale features, and wavy brown hair, wearing a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron.
- Aerlind. A tall and handsome Elf with deep black, straight hair and elven robes in shades of sea blues and greens. In his hand he carries a golden astrolabe.

Above them are the words "The Fourth Age: Book Three" and below them "An original The One Ring adventure. October 7th, 12:30pm Pacific."

Chicory Taproot (@seum.bsky.social) is a long way from home. And her Shire is in peril...

Carrying the fate of Middle-earth upon her shoulders - along with the light of Illuin within her staff - this unlikeliest of heroes will soon come to understand that secrets do not stay hidden forever...

A hobbit with delicate, pale features and wavy brown hair tied up with butterfly-shaped bows. She wears a flowing purple dress, with white frills and an apron, a brown backpack slung over her shoulder. In her apron is a bunch of blue chicory flowers, and in her hand she holds a staff, at the end of which hangs a large flower, in the centre of which sits a large pearlescent stone.

In front of her are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Seum is Chicory Taproot.”

For years, Iairen (@critbard.com) has wondered at his parentage. And now, he finally knows. The blood of the Istari runs through his veins...

Reunited with his father Pallando, Iairen returns from Rhûn a changed man. One willing to defend the people of Middle-earth with his burgeoning power...

A human with handsome, dark features, his face framed with long brown hair with a soft kink to it, his kind eyes looking out: one hazel, one blue. He wears a green robe with gold trim over a simple brown ensemble, with an orange scarf around his shoulders and a bow slung over his shoulders. Various satchels hang from his waist, as does a single wooden hummingbird. He stands against a grassy valley, as sun shines down from a blue sky above.

In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Omega Jones is Iairen.”

After fifty years of grief, with the help of her fellowship, Mistiel (@blackgirlmage.bsky.social) has bid farewell to her brother's soul.

But those responsible for his corruption are still out there, and even now, they descend upon Middle-earth. Can she save those loved ones who yet remain...?

An elf with beautiful dark features and long white braids, wearing a hooded auburn cloak over dark leather armour. Around her neck, she wears a simple necklace in which there is a small glass vial containing a single leaf, which hangs just above her bare, toned abdomen. An Elven sword hangs from her waist, as she stands against a snowy landscape. Snow swirls around her, as the Northern Lights flutter against the horizon.

In front of her are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Lexi McQueen is Mistiel.”

For centuries, Theodas (@jwcartwright.bsky.social) has been chasing shadows. But now, thanks to the love of a Hobbit, he has dared seek out something new.

Hope.

But first, he must find his fellowship. Separated since Dale, their reunion might prove to be the key to saving Middle-earth once more...

A muscular elf with strong dark features and stern green eyes, his face framed by a thick, greying beard. Over one shoulder, he wears a grey cloak, and his large exposed arms are crossed over a dull golden chestpiece of interlocking bands. Satchels and a sword hang from his waist, as the moon glows between trees in the distance.

In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Jasper William Cartwright is Theodas.”

Aerlind (@estelofimladris.bsky.social) has helped his friends slow The Dark Tree's march, thus buying their allies time.

But at what cost? For even now, the Enemy's eye falls upon the fellowship and beyond, to Aerlind's home of Mithlond. Where the white ships sail forth towards the Undying Lands...

A tall and handsome Elf with warm-toned, fair skin. He has deep black, straight hair that cascades down his back in a gentle wave, tied back with braids. He has monolid, warm amber eyes. He wears smart, finely made elven robes and leather armour in shades of sea blues and greens. A bow is slung over his shoulder, and in his hand he carries a golden astrolabe. A sunny beach rests behind him, with rocks poking out from beneath the sand.

In front of him are the words “The Fourth Age: Book Three” and “Cai K is Aerlind.”
