Middle-Earth

Under the looming reach of the Misty Mountains is a bleak highland of fog-shrouded moors and marshland that is inhospitable to all but the hardiest. Even the Rangers of the North are loath to travel there, for it's a cold and unforgiving land. Its close proximity to both Mount Gram and the Misty Mountains keeps the Ettenmoors wrapped in a thick fog that sunlight never seems to fully pierce. A great many Trolls wander this region, eager to catch wayward travellers lost in the wilderness and devour them. So brutal are these terrible beasts that, as if driven to madness, they have even turned their attention to Mount Gram itself and on more than one occasion raided the Goblin tunnels that are still hidden from the sun beneath the stone cliffs of that rocky terrain.
