I thought other companies were fast but this just feels like... idk. The idea of letting a release or prerelease breathe feels foreign as of late.

I feel like there's a new MTG announcement like every other week at this point.

I'm pumped about TMNT but like... it feels like Lorwyn Eclipsed and EVERYTHING AT MTG ATLANTA was /just/ announced.

Come join us for the beginning of the end.

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.”

I am in love! @jaspermillerart.com really captured the essence of our fellowship to the T!

This is quite literally one of the coolest art pieces I've ever seen and have the honor of being a part of — I love this fellowship SO MUCH and it's gonna hurt when it all comes to an end.

But look how far we've come. It all comes down to this.

ALSO PEEP THE NEW CLOTHES FOR MY BOY! AAAAAH!

The Fourth Age | Book Three @calltoadventure.bsky.social · 2d

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."

I’ve had the privilege of playing many games & telling many tales — but this one will forever hold a place in my heart.

I am so excited to see the culmination of Iairen’s journey this season, especially now that he has embraced his Istari truth.

What shall happen?
Join us next Tuesday & see. 💙✨😊

The Fourth Age | Book Three @calltoadventure.bsky.social · 5d

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.”

I absolutely adore Aerlind so much. Such a warm and rich addition to this story. I'm super pumped to see where Aerlind and Iairen's story progresses, especially as they have such heavy ties to the Palantir of Annuminas!
