Attacking team
Hold together, or fall apart.
Named after the old alliance of Elves and Men, the good side gathers Gondor, Rohan, Arnor, the Elves and the Dwarves: five kingdoms and fifteen regions. In every battle it takes the attacking team.
5 kingdoms · 15 regions
Defending team
Hold the ground. Break the light.
Mordor, Rhûn, Harad, Isengard, Dunland, Dol Guldur and Gundabad answer the Shadow: seven kingdoms and seventeen regions, from the Black Gate to the hill-clans of the West. In every battle it takes the defending team.
7 kingdoms · 17 regions
One host, by class
Your host attacks. Break their line.Your host defends. Hold the line.
Three flag posts stand on every map; the event keeps one of them from the first second of the round. Hold it and the enemy’s morale bleeds away.
Round
Flag A stands. The other two posts are bare.
The light moves to another post every round. Pick one to hold it still.
Enemy morale, flag uncontested
An uncontested flag takes the enemy from neutral to defeat in about nine minutes; a full comeback takes about fifteen.
From the menu to the field, choice by choice. The first ones bind you for the whole night.

Forces of Shadow12 kingdoms
Five kingdoms on the good side, seven on the evil side. Your clan tells you which one it fights for tonight.
Fixed for the battle
32 regions and peoples
Each kingdom splits into regions (Gondor’s provinces, Rhûn’s clans) or peoples (Mordor’s Orcs, Black Uruks and Black Númenóreans). The region sets your colours, your banner and your gear.
Fixed for the battle
11 classes in every region
Pick a class type (Infantry, Archer, Cavalry), then a class: eleven in every region. A tile marked "Reserved" is closed to you (see the cavalry whitelist).
Can change between lives
523 presets to wear
Choose a preset, then the variant of each piece you like. A preview shows your warrior with hit points, armour and speed; the look never changes the numbers.
Can change between lives
Side, kingdom and region are fixed for the battle; your class can change at every respawn.
From the sign-up during the week to the last charge of the night.
During the week
Clan leaders register their numbers on Discord, once or for every week, and ask for special classes. Cavalry clans submit their riders’ Steam IDs.
About 90 minutes before
The organisers post the two armies on Discord: which clan fights for which kingdom and region.
Gates open
Make sure LotRMPCore and LotRMPEvent are ticked in the launcher’s Multiplayer tab. Launch Bannerlord’s Multiplayer, open the Custom Server List and join the event server; its name is posted on Discord with the teams. If the line is busy, it takes a few seconds.
Warmup
Pick your side, kingdom, region and class, press F to spawn, find your clan’s banner. Nobody can be hurt until the admins end the warmup.
Round start
A short preparation, then both armies appear in paced waves at their bases. One flag stands somewhere on the field.
The battle
Holding the flag drains the enemy’s morale: about nine minutes from neutral to defeat if nobody contests it. One life each: the round ends when an army breaks or the clock runs out.
Between rounds
Change class if your clan needs it, and the next round starts on another flag. Maps change between matches.
The horn sounds on Tuesdays, 20:30 Paris time.
When is the next battle?Some rules the server enforces by itself; the others the organisers keep. Each order says which.
6 enforced by the server · 2 kept by the organisers
Lords, officers and the limited classes (shock, archers, skirmishers, cavalry) are shared out clan by clan before the battle. The menu lets you click anything; the organisers expect you to stick to what your clan was given.
One slot = 10 players, for shock infantry, archers, skirmishers and cavalry alike.
Your side, kingdom and region stay the same for the whole battle. Your class can change: pick a new one and it applies at your next spawn, the next round in battle or right away in warmup.
The server reserves the Cavalry type of every faction to a list of Steam IDs. Not on the list? The tile is dimmed and marked "Reserved", and the server refuses it whatever you click. Clans with a cavalry slot submit their riders on Discord; an admin adds a player in one click, no restart.
Spawn with a spear, lance or pike and it is in your hand. Switch to any other weapon and it drops to the ground, mounted or on foot; you can pick it back up. Javelins and throwing spears are free, and poleaxes, halberds and glaives stay in your kit.
Before the battle, the server runs a warmup where nobody can be hurt. Spawn with F (a short cooldown between spawns), test your kit, form up, duel for fun. Admins end it when the armies are ready.
Five hundred warriors appearing in the same instant would choke the server, so players appear over the first seconds of the round, about ten per team per second. The order rotates every round so nobody is always last.
On a busy server, Join puts you in a short line instead of letting everyone rush the gate: you see your position, and you can cancel at any time. The server lets about twenty players in per second.
Kick, ban and map votes are switched off. Map choice and discipline belong to the admins.
Install the two modules, then find a clan on the Discord: battles are fought clan by clan.
