Making Elves Great Again: Middle Earth's New Dark Lord - CK3 LOTR Realms in Exile

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! Sounds like I'm running for office with that opener. My Fiancée made this thumbnail so I hope you enjoy it. You can watch the entire series here: kzbin.info/aero/PL_4YUWpVmAqn8Ijic37qccoyeKuaBFAAy Elder Kings 2 finale is tomorrow with Baldur's Gate 3 back on Saturday. For a little about my recent journey. I finally wiped my PC, re-installed everything, bought a new sound mixer for my audio and dear God let me tell you. It has been AMAZING to record, edit and do everything I need to do without crashing, software freezing and so on. Anyway -- let me know what series you want to see next! We'll have 2/3 done by Saturday!

[@adxlotladiosx4190]

Is this last episode of the series

[@holdensmith9533]

She did a great job on the thumbnail alluding to what you plan to acquire

[@exactlyloler61]

The One Ring and Gollum are not in the mod at the moment, the mod devs wanted to first flesh out the world, add Eriador and Dwarves first and have a proper Ring Quest script ready

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Oh I gotcha! Thanks for letting me know.

[@УТятница]

I hope when Roads to Power will be realised... Gollum will be in mod already.

[@augelmir.1511]

I know its late, but according to the Devs in Discord, they're waiting for the Unlanded Mechanics in the upcoming DLC. So its probably going to be a while.

[@bigsarge2085]

The best Elves. The greatest Elves. You've never seen Elves like these!

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Bigly Elf cannons to bring down the Orc walls.

@@SurrealBeliefs "and, in its place we're going to plant a forest, with the best trees! its going to be YUGE! And, we're gonna make Mordor pay for it!"

[@Otto-Maximilien]

"Oh God that chin is unfortunate" XD Surreal makes me crack up since years

[@GrammynMr]

"Elven Canons" I recently watched Pardoner Jauffre, who is a developer of LotR:RiE, and he showed that the new elvish canons will be elvish Singers. Apparently their voice is so strong to crush walls. I forgot the flavour text but that sure is very elvish.

[@vaclavsoukup7302]

To be honest, it would’ve been nice if you gave all your vassals and clients independence, since Mordor’s defeated and War of the Ring ended. But, that wouldn’t have been in-character for Matamelcan, so Great Forest Empire it is!

[@SurrealBeliefs]

I think so too. Anyone but Matamelcan may have done that!

[@groggjoggarn]

Yey! Haven’t seen a second yet and I’m already over the moon! Been checking youtube for your next release every other hour over the last couple of days. Just want to convey my sincerest gratitude and admiration for your work. I really enjoy how you can be so consistent about RP elements yet still break character and joke about it from a bird’s eye view (especially with regards to BG3). For me, you are in a league of your own on this here platform. A little feedback of personal preference: Don’t rush it. I’d wager that most others, like me, are here for the journey.

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Thank you Grog! I'm glad my kind of wacky content has been fun to watch. That's exactly how I want my commentary to come through. A mix of serious and silly just like my household! More silly though.

[@tomruk95]

Another awesome vid and he is the best chad elf out there lol i would love to see another lotr ck3 playthrough maybe as aragorn or a custom character who finds the ring and wants to rule middle earth when the mod is fully completed

[@e.m.p.3394]

Im so happy to see this!!! Thank you Surreal!

[@puttekara]

Out mountain camping with the bois but I Look forward to watching this on sunday when I get back. 😊

[@SurrealBeliefs]

Aw that's gotta be beautiful. Mountain trips are all I look forward to now.

[@puttekara]

@@SurrealBeliefs we just arrived, it’s close to the border between Sweden and Norway and one of the oldest trees in the world is here. So it will be a trek through the snow to reach it, but it’s sure to be an experience. Might make me more elvish.

[@NeviusZ]

Far over.. the Misty Mountains cold…

[@devlaminckx3382]

Yes, finally, I was waaaaaiting for this one!

[@SurrealBeliefs]

It has some doozies!

[@ShadowWolfRising]

'The Albino Baron walks in.' "Well.............That was eventful. So I guess we overestimated the power of Men........and Sauron. We just annihilated them.....and also conquered a bunch of the Lands of Men and even one of the Dwarven Areas. So this is what an Empire of Elves looks like, I must admit I quite like it. And to think I'd live to see Sauron's forces decimated and humiliated, and even took part in the war. I will have such stories for my Grandchildren. I suppose there's nothing else to say, I suppose I'll go back to my Barony to spend time with my wife, maybe she'll want to try for another child after all this. One more thing before I go..........I hear tell of a Ring, not Sauron's, but another just like it, somewhere in Mordor......I advise we find that ring before Sauron or any of his former lackies do. I have a bad feeling about it. Alright, I shall take my leave my Emperor." 'He bows and leaves.' -Baron Narwahendi

[@mgrillo2863]

that was fun, thank you

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

That thumpnail is perfection😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@frankseu]

Sauron is apparently a lot smaller in person, he always look so tall in the movies.

[@SurrealBeliefs]

He wears lifts.

​@@SurrealBeliefssincerely though, this was rad as hell!!!! I absolutely love the Culture you made and the only critique I have is that I didn't get to see the actual Development of the wilds. That and the Ethos.

Fun fact, assuming I put the translator worked right, Narwahendi is supposed to mean 'Red Eye' in Quenya.

That's excellent then!

Maaaaaybe!

[@kckaz4453]

[@monseen]

Loved the video! Down the line have you thought about doing another CK3 LOTR but you either serve Sauron or try to usurp him?
