The Eleven Kingdoms in the Realm of Arda are Revealed

Enlightened Age Entertainment today unveiled the names of the eleven kingdoms that inhabit the Realm of Arda. The first six are the Greater Kingdoms, which will always begin under player control, the last five are Lesser Kingdoms which may be under a player's control, or may be run by an enhanced AI. Without further ado:

The Dark Dominion: A cruel and spiteful kingdom ruled by sinister Dark Elves and their servants. Their deadly assassins are feared throughout Arda.

The Dwarven Lords of Khaz-Adul: The Dwarven Lords stand like a pillar of mountain-hewn stone in defiance of the wickedness that seems to surround them.

The High Elves of Mistwood: At the dawn of time, they appeared - walking with trees in the Mist of Creation. Here are the greatest archers in Arda and long lived Elven Mages.

The Sacred Order of Tyr: From across the great sea to the coast of Evanon they came, bearing the torch of faith. Upon the plains of the Emerald Range clashed the Sons of Faith with the Legions of the Damned.

The Tyrant of Gor: His hordes are many and his reach is long, for his reach sprawls over much of Arda. Goblins, Orcs, Ogres and Trolls populate his vast hordes.

The Witch King of Morgoth: The land buckles beneath the weight of the greatest necromancer's undead legions: forces of darkness and despair enslaved to do the bidding of this evil incarnate power.

The Amazons: Sweeping across the rolling plains of their homeland on their fast steppe horses, long hair blowing behind them, they ride with fire in their hearts and their eyes.

The Lizard King: The world's mysteries and the true intent of the old gods was entrusted to the earliest generations of Lizardmen shaman and nobles, or so they themselves believe.

The Kingdom of Zamora: Proud, cultured, joyous of their heritage, Zamora is a land of laughter and prosperity. Its War Elephants are a match for any foe in Arda that dare intrude into lush Zamora.

Celestium, Province of the Defiant: The Celestials are the direct lineage of the Half-Elven hero Lord Gabriel, he that banished the Witch King to the purgatory of the Void centuries ago.

The Barbarians of Cimmeria: Cold, bleak and savage, Cimmeria's inhospitable lands breed the fiercest warriors in Arda. Trained from birth to become weapon masters without fear, they are hardened by their land and brutal, blood-letting upbringing.
