Flames of Edhelion is a crafting/family-based kinship that originated on Elendilmir server of The Lord of the Rings Online.  We were forced to move to Landroval near the end of 2015, when Turbine closed 10 US servers due to low population, moving all survivors to 5 remaining US servers.

Dates to Remember
June 21 (2008) - Kinship Anniversary

Why do I have to visit this website?
You have been directed to this website for one of two reasons: 
(1) You have asked to join us, and we asked you to come here.
or --
(2) We found you in-game and were interested in your play style or dedication to the game. 

    Why?
Our Kinship is unlike over 50% of the Kinships in LotRO simply because we don't want to fill ourselves with warm bodies. 
We want people that care about the game, the Lore, and that help each other.  We don't want to fill our ranks with hundreds of people that simply want to group for XP or to have their hand held because they're afraid to be alone.
As such, our only requirement is that you read this website to ensure we are a "good match" for each other. 
That's all.  We don't limit by Level, Class, Race, Gender, or anything else. 
Just read these pages and decide if you're a grownup.

Forum?     This isn't one.   Happy?

We used to have one (I still need to delete it), but now we use a Facebook group.  You are not required to join it, but it would make communicating easier, especially when not in game. 

Playing Times?

We are fairly international, which is why we need to be a casual Kinship.  As of Free To Play (second half of 2010), we have five countries represented:  America, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Romania.  Scheduling events is naturally a nightmare, so we just don't do it.  I'll say that again, in bigger words: WE DO NOT HAVE SCHEDULED PLAYING TIMES.  Your life is your own.  We have no right to dictate when you should play.
As we grow, it will be difficult to find your fellow Kinsmen to game together, but please hang in there as so we can become big enough to game together.  The majority of our players are in Australia and Japan, and we tend to game in the (late) afternoons, evenings, and weekends.
Our "primary" time zone is roughly GMT+9 = Japan.  Our Australian and New Zealand players are very close to the same time zone.  The Americans are vastly different.  Elendilmir is the unofficial Oceanic server (and as such, full of Aussies, Kiwis, and Japanese).
