Up for sale is M112, Northman Bard, from Mithril Miniatures’ Men of the North series. Produced under license for Iron Crown Enterprises’ MERP (Middle-earth Role Playing) system, this figure depicts a bard of the Northmen — the wandering poet-musicians who preserved their culture’s history through song and story.

• Series: Men of the North

• Figure Code: M112

• Character Type: Northman Bard

• Material: Metal miniature (pewter-based alloy)

• Condition: Loose, unpainted (see photos)

Tolkien & Lore Background:

The Northmen of Rhovanion were ancestors of the Rohirrim, hardy horse-lords and farmers who dwelt in the lands between Mirkwood and the River Running. Bards among them played an important cultural role, preserving tales of ancient alliances with Gondor, heroic deeds, and laments for wars lost.

This figure captures the bard mid-performance, pointing as though emphasizing a verse, while armed with a sword — showing that even poets of the North were not unprepared for danger.

MERP Game Use:

In MERP, a Northman Bard might serve as:

• A player character profession (bard class equivalent).

• An NPC storyteller who passes lore, riddles, or prophecies.

• A traveling companion with useful support skills.

Typical MERP Stats (from ICE’s Lords of Middle-earth):

• Level: 4–6

• OB (Offensive Bonus): +35 (short sword)

• DB (Defensive Bonus): +15

• Skills: Songs (inspire courage, lore-keeping), languages, regional history, diplomacy.

This is a rare and vintage collectible, ideal for Tolkien enthusiasts, MERP players, or classic miniature collectors.
