NoldorSithLordsShipwright:
I think that's a well fitting solution to the problem, DieWalküre. Linking Cirdan's final ability to Ossë is very lore friendly (possibly more lore friendly than the current link to Ulmo), and you explained your proposal very well, as usual.

AulëTheSmith:
Ciao Diewalk  :)
I reread some passage about Ossë and I think is a better reference than Ulmö in this case. The last power is more a matter of siege and shipbuilding. So since Ossë is the master of Teleri, and the one who teaches them how to build ships, he is the most suited for this role.
I agree with your proposal  :) :)

Walküre:
I'm very pleased by your words of appreciation. I too deem the sea-Maia very apt for the situation. Also, isn't it splendid that Tolkien always offers us so many possibilities to explore his vast lore in the game? ;)

This is how the whole (overhauled) concept would be.

Tutelage of Ossë (Level 10): Thanks to the teachings of Ossë, Círdan strengthens all allied ships, buildings and siege engines on the map, granting them +50% armour for 30 seconds.


--- Zitat ---But of all the Maiar Ossë and Uinen are best known to the Children of Ilúvatar.
Ossë is a vassal of Ulmo, and he is master of the seas that wash the shores of Middle-earth. He does not go in the deeps, but loves the coasts and the isles, and rejoices in the winds of Manwë; for in storm he delights, and laughs amid the roaring of the waves. His spouse is Uinen, the Lady of the Seas, whose hair lies spread through all waters under sky. All creatures she loves that live in the salt streams, and all weeds that grow there; to her mariners cry, for she can lay calm upon the waves, restraining the wildness of Ossë. The Númenóreans lived long in her protection, and held her in reverence equal to the Valar.
Melkor hated the Sea, for he could not subdue it. It is said that in the making of Arda he endeavoured to draw Ossë to his allegiance, promising to him all the realm and power of Ulmo, if he would serve him. So it was that long ago there arose great tumults in the sea that wrought ruin to the lands. But Uinen, at the prayer of Aulë, restrained Ossë and brought him before Ulmo; and he was pardoned and returned to his allegiance, to which he has remained faithful. For the most part; for the delight in violence has never wholly departed from him, and at times he will rage in his wilfulness without any command from Ulmo his lord. Therefore those who dwell by the sea or go up in ships may love him, but they do not trust him.

[...]

But when they learned that Ingwë and Finwë and their peoples were gone, then many of the Teleri pressed on to the shores of Beleriand, and dwelt thereafter near the Mouths of Sirion, in longing for their friends that had departed; and they took Olwë, Elwë’s brother, to be their king. Long they remained by the coasts of the western sea, and Ossë and Uinen came to them and befriended them; and Ossë instructed them, sitting upon a rock near to the margin of the land, and of him they learned all manner of sea-lore and sea-music. Thus it came to be that the Teleri, who were from the beginning lovers of water, and the fairest singers of all the Elves, were after enamoured of the seas, and their songs were filled with the sound of waves upon the shore.
When many years had passed, Ulmo hearkened to the prayers of the Noldor and of Finwë their king. Who grieved at their long sundering from the Teleri, and besought him to bring them to Aman, if they would come. And most of them proved now willing indeed; but great was the grief of Ossë when Ulmo returned to the coasts of Beleriand, to bear them away to Valinor; for his care was for the seas of Middle-earth and the shores of the Hither Lands, and he was ill-pleased that the voices of the Teleri should be heard no more in his domain. Some he persuaded to remain; and those were the Falathrim, the Elves of the Falas, who in after days had dwellings at the havens of Brithombar and Eglarest, the first mariners in Middle-earth and the first makers of ships. Círdan the Shipwright was their lord.

AulëTheSmith:
Very good as usual. It has a proper palantir and now the concept has stronger lore bases than the one of the team. Now we have two finalized powers (the first and and last). In my opinion Cirdan is at the top, near perfection now. We have also more taste of the past, his skilset covers a long time period, which is well-suited for the Oldest one  ;)

P.s.:DieWalk, since you worked  about level 10 ability, and level 10 ability will be for sure present in 4.5, it means we have some hope to see Narya+Ulmö's horn in 4.5 as well?  xD xD just curiosity

Walküre:
Exactly. It would be great to have his first and final ability encompass such long span of time (we're probably talking about 10000 years). And, needless to say, his alpha and omega will of course be centred on his truest love: the sea ;)

I don't know whether these suggestions are to be included in the next update. And even if I knew that, I couldn't reveal it either (since I can't give away internal information), unless a specific allowance. All official news and statements concerning what will be are published by the Edain Team in the proper board of the forum. This, as the other concepts belonging to this thread, are still proposals, and they thus ought to be treated that way.
