Remember, remember the fifth of Blothmath
Black powder, affray and plot.
I see no reason, 
why black power affray 
should ever be forgot.

📍 Advertised on LOTRO forums here and here.

Returning for the first time since 2017, the tragicomedy What the Bree-Town Rat saw: “Fawkes! The undoing of Gubzugoy the Unready” retells the British story of Guy Fawkes but with a Middle-earth lore twist.

This event is a RP-lite storytelling performance by Ranatuor. Attendees can Roleplay if they so wish, but RP is not essential to participating. 

You can find out a little more about Guy Fawkes and his importance in British history here.

Meet at Bree-Town West Gate at 9pm GMT (4pm /servertime), where Ranatuor will collect you and then walk you to the event spot. If you need help getting there, ask for Ranatuor in World Chat or send a tell to Ranatuor. 

The show will close with participants setting off Fireworks. If you do not have access to your own, the host will have some available so you can join in.

What is RP-lite?
My events are often labelled RP-lite – I created this term to signify that whilst roleplaying is part of what we do, especially the storytelling I perform, guests are not expected to roleplay if they do not want to. You join in how you wish, as long as your behaviour is not abusive to others. RP is encouraged but not essential. Please be respectful to those attending and how they want to participate.

Please note – Tuor
There is a toxic account on Laurelin who uses an alt named Ranatour (misspelling the u) to imitate me. I have only one alt with Rana- as a prefix. Rana means “The Wanderer” in Sindarin (the Elvish name for the Moon) and Tuor is the First Age hero-wanderer who witnessed the fall of Gondolin and also the father of Eärendil, who sailed west and roused the Valar to defeat Morgoth.

Important – Event safety 
Laurelin has sadly seen a rise in griefing and other abusive behaviour towards people and events. It’s sad to note that  I am having to put such a warning into the adverts of events I run, sadly because the behaviour of people online is at an all-time low. If you witness any griefing of host or guests, please feel free to report it through the proper channels.
