LotR: Realms in Exile

Hello and welcome to the Realms in Exile mod for Crusader Kings III. I am part of an incredible team that has heeded the call for adventure into Middle-earth! Together we are bringing the immersive world of Middle-earth to CK3, full of the diverse characters in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

Realms v4.1 is our most recent major release, expanding the map southwards to Thani-Hazad, Mag, Tumag, and Usukân, and adding our first new start date, the Long Winter, with over a dozen new bookmark characters!

The current version is fully compatible with the Crown patch and v1.15.X of CK3.

With v4.1 behind us, we'll be expanding our mapping efforts to a new non-canon region: Khy, a great bastion of the Free Peoples in the east, and our first admin realm. Join our Discord to hear more!

“I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit
(generally with meticulous care for distances).”

– J.R.R. Tolkien.

Realms in Exile refers to the kingdoms that formed after the destruction of the isle of Númenor. These are Arnor, Gondor, Umbar, Bellakar and Thôn an-Khârlôkh. Gondor features in the third book of The Lord of the Rings. It is ruled by the stewards of Minas Tirith, as their king was lost in a duel with the Witch King of Minas Morgul. Arnor is the lost realm of the north, Aragorn is chieftain of its few survivors. Umbar was once a city of the Númenóreans at the height of their power in Middle-earth, now it is a mighty haven of corsairs. Bellakar and Thôn an-Khârlôkh are former colonies, far to the south, and the books do not mention their names.

While there are many great starts that you're likely already familiar with added in previous versions (Denethor, Sauron, the Tedjin, and Saruman just to name a few!), we thought we'd highlight just a few of the many interesting options to explore as you venture into the latest version:

• Confront King Helm in council and demand his daughter's hand.
  
• Play as his son Wulf and unite his Dunlending kin
  
• Claim vengence on Helm Hammerhand and set a new dynasty on the throne of the Riddermark!

• Wander the lands of the West, studying the ways of those great civizations.
  
• Fight in wars across the lands, before returning home in a time of need.
  
• Fend of the Khandish threat with a Grand Alliance of the Easterlings.
  
• Unite your people in a new realm with your dream of unity and progress.

• Naviagte the intricate politics of the Princes of the South.
  
• Romance your love Princess Arimith and convince the other Princes of your cause.
  
• Unite the Balan-lâi against their ancient enemies in the region's ancient struggle.
