    Howdy defenders of Middle Earth. I'm CaoJay (Cjay if you like) and the team and I are responsible for the revival of this wonderful mod. While it is true that the mod is in a mostly stable state we are well aware that several bugs have managed to slip by us. Still it should be playable so I really hope everyone enjoys it. For the last year or so this mod has undergone several revival attempts and fizzled out overtime. We the new Middle Earth team have no intention of walking away from this mod. We will continue to fix any bugs we come across and more importantly we shall be adding more content to the mod. Which brings me to the title of this Threadmarker, Bloodlines.

    Much like the other popular mods I can see the appeal of continuing on a well known dynasty with a character of your own creation. Heck it's a wonderful feature so I figured why not add it to the Middle Earth mod. As you can see in this image I've added a dozen or so famous bloodlines you can claim. But you maybe asking "Is that it?" Well no :p But let's not get carried away.

    At the create a character screen you can select the bloodline you which to have (In this case I've chosen the Blood of Aldarion the kings of Rhudaur) Once you select the trait (Or if you are playing as one of our canon characters and he/she meets certain conditions to claim decadence from one of these Dynasties) head on over to our new Show Dynasty Decisions and claim your bloodline.

    Oh look the line of the Rhudaur kings have returned and as it happens they have a rather strong claim on the lands of Rhudaur...

    Each Dynasty/bloodline shall get a special CB which shall allow them to re-claim their family lands. In the house of Feanors case they can claim the lands of Eregion. The house of Fingolfin may claim Lindon and well as you can see the house of Hathorionath can claim the lands of Rhudaur.

    I have about 30 of these bloodlines created and am just finishing them up before I move onto adding more artifacts and other wonderful content that I will speak more about in a future Dev diary. Till then....
