The Lord of the Rings: The White Council is an unfinished project of a cRPG game in the realities of Tolkien's Mediterranean. According to the developers' assumptions, the plot was to present the events taking place 80 years before the outbreak of the War on the Ring, and the player would play the role of the title agent of the White Council. Work on the game was suspended in 2007.

The Lord of the Rings: The White Council is a cRPG title, set in the extremely popular universe created by J. R. R. Tolkien. The devs compared their work to TES IV: Oblivion - in both titles we are dealing with a huge world, which we can traverse in search of adventures and experience, and everything is connected with an intriguing and expressive plot.

The action takes place about eighty years before the events known from The Lord of the Rings. Our character, created at the beginning of the game, starts the game as an ordinary adventurer, and their task is to become an agent of the title White Council. The Council consists of heroes known to all lovers of Tolkien's works: Elrond, Galadriel, Gandalf, Cirdan, Radagast and Saruman. This group, deeply concerned about the evil reborn in Dol Guldur Fortress, is looking for someone courageous and clever enough to investigate the case. However, before we are able to face this challenge, we need to learn a lot and acquire a lot of skills. The task is made possible by the unhindered ability to travel around the game world. The main intrigue does not force us to constantly follow orders, and we have plenty of time to do everything at our own discretion.
