Denalor:
And that would indicate to use Treasure Companion Section 4.3.3 for Background Options, too.
As a recommendation of sorts for the only Companion to include right from the start. Certainly not necessary, though.
I don't have that book (
yet), but I'm quite open to making better Background Options since it's a one-off during generation, rather than complicating ongoing play.
Denalor:
I am not too heavy on ME lore but was in an awesome TOR ring years ago. That was much later though. I am unfamiliar with TA1640. It's after the Great Plague, right?
Yes, post-plague, and about two hundred years after the Kin-Strife. Cardolan was just conquered by the Witch King in 1636, leaving Arthedain as the only bit of Arnor still standing so it's all looking a bit grim up north right now, which makes it more impactful. As one of the ICE books notes, the period around 1640 isn't overly interesting for playing around Gondor, at least if you're looking for "big stuff".
