Hello and greetings to the attendees of this forum. An issue was recently raised in the German forum and it pertains to the presence of Tauriel in the game. A German user wondered whether Tauriel should be made available in more maps than the current sole possibility: the vanilla map of Mirkwood. Thus the proposal was conceived and forwarded.
I would therefore like to bring the topic here as well. Speaking about the suggestion itself, I spoke against a widespread implementation of Tauriel (as a permanent hero) in the game, lest the will of the forum be completely disregarded. Nevertheless, she is already a character of the game and I have always appreciated some sides of her very characterisation; left aside the love-related theme, her wild portrait, combined with the desire to discover more of the World and with the love for the light of the stars, is a very accurate depiction of most of the woodland Elves of Arda (who could never behold the Eternal Day of Valinórë). In light of these premises, I would personally suggest her be implemented even in Dol Guldur, being the territory part of the eerie Mirkwood and having Mirkwood fought against Sauron in the War of the Ring too. Tauriel is also a resilient warrior that stoutly fights for what she deems right: liberty from tyranny.
Shalt thou speak in favour or against?
