Hirgon had set out on the command of Denethor, Steward of Gondor, with a companion, and narrowly escaped Orcs in Anorien's woods. He presented the Red Arrow to Theoden on the 9th of March T.A. 3019. And so, King Theoden of Rohan mustered his forces, and rode to Gondor's aid.

Setup Information ~
Seperate sign up option for Rohan (8) and Gondor (18)
There are two game threads obscured from one another
Majority vote is required for day kills
Failure to produce a day kill will increase mafia KP by 1
Extra KP earned by mafia may be used in either game thread, regardless of which thread caused no-kill
If either thread reaches the Minions of Evil win condition, both games immediately end in a Minions of Evil victory
The Red Arrow ability may only be used once during the game (See Red Arrow ~ Section)
Both game threads have an Arsonists type set up referred to as the Doom Track
Rohan has 6 or 7 Men and 1 or 2 Minions of Evil
Gondor has 13 or 14 Men and 4 or 5 Minions of Evil
The ratio of Men to Minions of Evil is always 20:6
Men get 3 of Aragorn, Faramir, Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas
The game has partial flips, alignment only
Red Arrow ~
If the Red Arrow is used, any number of Men may move from their game thread to the thread which called for aid
If there are minions of Evil present in the thread which men are departing, the minions of Evil get an attack of opportunity, allowing them to kill anyone one player in their thread
Players "leaving" the game thread are considered to still be present for the purposes of the attack of opportunity
The Red Arrow may only be used by the King of Rohan or the Steward of Gondor (See Hereditary Rule ~ Section)
All players traveling using the Red Arrow are considered IC in the game in which they arrive
Players moving using the Red Arrow are delayed based on multiples of two Men who are moving 2 - Next day, 4 - in 2 days, 6 - in 3 days...
Players in a game over thread can still be summoned by the Red Arrow
Hereditary Rule ~
The King of Rohan & Steward of Gondor is public knowledge
The Hierarchy for ascension to the throne is randomized at the start of the game and has no bearing on alignment
The Minions of Evil are not able to use the Red Arrow even if they hold the throne unless pressured to do so by one or more Men
Role Information ~
The Minions of Evil - 1 KP per game thread
► Show Spoiler
Factional Kill Power
The factional Kill Power can be used to advance the Doom Track by 1 in each thread. At any point, instead of taking this action, the Mafia may kill a player for each point on the Doom Track + 1. Once a kill action has been taken, the mafia may no longer advance the Doom Track. Kill actions of one thread do not affect the other.
Sauron
Sauron can no longer adopt his fair form, but he can still sway the minds of men.
