Song of Treachery is a site based on J.R.R.
Tolkien's works that detailed the history of Middle-earth during the
first age, namely the Silmarillion. For those fond of his more well
known works (or even just the fantasy genre!) Song of Treachery offers a
convenient stepping stone into a beautiful world that incorporates all
of those fantastically familiar themes. Our site features:
- • An
information
forum which offers background content: If you like Tolkien but have
never read these books, are interested but don't know much about
Tolkien, or just need refreshers you'll find answers there. Timelines,
races, history and geography are all covered, among others.
• Song of
Treachery is set during the later Years of the Trees period and the
First Age. You can pick when your threads are set, which opens
opportunities for characters you can join as! Consequently, we have a
diverse number of forums, so you're not limited to only a few options.
•
SoT accepts both canon and original characters. We do have a canon
list, but it's of those taken: if you're looking for suggestions you can
check out our wanted ads or ask for ideas in our help forum.
• We
don't ask that members be at any specific level of writing, only that
they be comfortable with the presence of mature content being addressed
in character. We do not have a word count.
• Most importantly, we're a
community! People who join aren't left hanging. Our flexible years
system provides opportunity for people to write with everyone else.
Because of that, it's very easy to get involved! You can integrate
yourself in a current plot, or establish your own! We'd love to get
involved, either way!
you know about Tolkien or this era of Middle-earth. If you enjoyed his
more familiar works, or are a fan of fantasy, we could be the place for
you! Song of Treachery provides easily accessible information so you can
get the gist of what's going on and if your questions aren't answered
there (or you just want a faster answer) you're always welcome to ask in
your help forum or the cBox. We'd absolutely love to hear from you!

- Before
there was a dragon in a mountain or a hobbit who found a ring, there
was an elf who created a set of jewels desired by all. The Silmarils, as
they were called, fostered a legacy of bloodshed, strife and tragedy
among all those who vied to possess them.
Morgoth craves the Silmarils.
Fëanor lusts after power.
The
Ñoldor rally in great hosts to depart for Middle-earth. They leave in
their wake bloodshed, death and destruction. Families are torn asunder
by pride and vanity. All throughout an Age, the desire for these jewels
drives many further and further into the pit of despair.
Yet, while
there is profound tragedy there is also immeasurable hope. Beren and
Lúthien face Morgoth's wrath for their own love of one another. If death
cannot serve to part them, what chance does the Dark Lord have?
Meanwhile, the Sons of Fëanor both defend and destroy, driven by an
inescapable oath that heralds their doom.
Throughout the First Age,
Elves, Men and Dwarves come together for their own ends under the
oppressive shroud of Morgoth's treachery. Love, ambition, freedom and
power all conflict with one another as both noble soul and jealous heart
meet and are torn asunder.
