Kinship

Kinships are groups of players that come together for a common, longterm purpose. (In other online roleplaying games, such organizations are often called Guilds or Clans). The purpose could be purely social, to pool resources, to take care of new players, or to share a common philosophy. Several types of kinships can be formed. A kinship must have at least 8 members or it will be disbanded in 24 hours.

Creating a Kinship

To create a kinship, you must purchase a charter from a Clerk of Kinships. These NPCs are found in various towns throughout Middle-earth. The person who created the kinship is its first leader, but the leader can be changed later. You cannot create a kinship if you are already a member of another kinship.

Notes: You must be level 5 or higher, and it costs 5

to buy a kinship charter.

Kinship Types and Titles

There are five types of kinships: Mixed, Dwarf, Elf, Hobbit, and Man. Any race can join any type of kinship. The only difference is in the titles given to its members. The type determines the Titles given to the different ranks in the kinship.

You can change the type of the kinship at any time by purchasing and using the correct Kinship Charter.
