This is *not* a LOTR mod, it is a Middle-earth mod (there is no Lord or Ring as they have both passed away); further, it is set in the Fourth Age - the "Dominion of Men" where the Mannish nations and tribes are expanding and the other races failing...

Large Orkish, Elven and Dwarven factions will be released in LOTR:TW (based on the films) and ME:TW (based on the books) - which are "LOTR mods". FATW is, and has always been, aiming for a yet different angle.
