A living game on Bluesky where every player is sorted into a role in Middle-earth.
Created by Clarabelle.xyz
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 — your old role will be removed and a new one assigned. Warning: re-rolling wipes any items you've found. Choose wisely, because once you've used your re-roll, your role is locked forever.
Like this post to remove your role without receiving a new one. You can return to Middle-earth anytime by liking the labeler account again.
There are 43 regular roles across the Free Peoples and the forces of Shadow, plus 8 rare Leadership roles with limited slots.
These powerful positions are limited — only a set number can exist in Middle-earth at any time. They can be won through the random roll (at very low odds) or through special lottery events.
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.
