Haven't you ever wondered if you would be a Hobbit, an Orc, or an Ent?

Middle-Earth Quest is a Bluesky labeler that randomly assigns you a role in Tolkien's world. You might become a Hobbit of the Shire, an Orc of Mordor, an Elf of Rivendell, or one of dozens of other fates. Your role is displayed on your profile as a label — visible to all other players who have subscribed.
Roles are weighted by rarity. Common folk like Men of Gondor and Orcs of Mordor appear often. Rarer roles like Rangers, Elves, and Shieldmaidens are harder to come by. And the rarest of all — Wizards, Nazgûl, and Leadership roles — are limited in number across all of Middle-earth.
You get one re-roll. Unlike the labeler account and like it again to trigger a confirmation prompt. Reply REROLL or YES to confirm; nothing changes until you do. Once confirmed, your old role is removed and a new one assigned. Warning: re-rolling wipes any items you've found. Choose wisely, because once confirmed, your role is locked forever.
Like the Grey Havens post to step away from the game. Your role and items will be removed, and you'll stop receiving quest DMs. When you're ready to return, like the labeler again — your original role will be waiting. Items found before leaving do not return with you.
The Free Peoples include the Hobbits of the Shire, the Men of Gondor and Rohan, Elves of many kindreds, the Dwarves of the Four Kingdoms, and the ancient Ents of Fangorn.
The Forces of Sauron include the Orcs and Uruk-hai of Mordor and Isengard, the Trolls of the wild places, the Haradrim and their war-beasts, the Easterlings and Variags of the East, and the corrupted Black Númenóreans.
Between them stand the Unallied: the Corsairs of Umbar, the Dunlendings, the Barrow-wights, and the wild Huorns of Fangorn, bound to no side until the war decides for them, or they decide it.
Dozens of roles exist across all three, each with its own rarity, some common as grass, some rarer than starlight.
These are the rarest fates in Middle-earth: the Wizards of Middle-earth, the Nazgûl of Minas Morgul, the King of Rohan, the Steward of Gondor, the Mouth of Sauron, the Lieutenant of Morgul, and the Chieftain of Harad among them. Leadership is won only through the faintest odds of the random roll, or through a special lottery event.
A leader who goes into the world unarmed has far more to lose than an ordinary soldier. Choose your gear with care.
Every few days, you'll receive a DM from @middleearth.quest with a quest prompt. Reply OPEN to roll a d20 and discover what fate has in store. Your item appears as a second label on your profile alongside your role.
There are 100 items across five tiers, from legendary named artifacts to common gear to the occasional suspicious mushroom. Some carry great strength. Some carry fortune, which improves your future rolls. You can only carry one item at a time.
When a chest appears in your DMs, reply OPEN to roll. If you already have an item, you'll choose KEEP or SWAP. Reply DROP anytime to discard your current item. Your race affects your fortune — some peoples are luckier than others.
