Middle-Earth

In the northern reaches of eastern Eriador, beyond the Ettenmoors and the peak of Mount Gram, lies the land that of old saw the witch-realm of Angmar. Long ago, the Chief of the Ringwraiths himself ruled this land from his fortress of Carn Dûm, wielding fear and terror and commanding great armies of Orcs, Goblins and Hill-men. He made war against the North Kingdom of Arnor and its successor kingdoms, destroying them. But his kingdom was obliterated in turn, when a great host of Elves and Men came north to challenge him. He fled from the ruin of his armies, deserting them. Now, as a new darkness descends on Eriador and smoke issues forth from Mount Doom once again, the ancient realm of Angmar seems to stir once more. A cold wind blows from the north and all evil things feel a call to return to Carn Dûm.
