==History==
During the Second Age, the Men of the Mountains swore an oath to Isildur, King of Gondor in those days. But their fathers had worshiped Sauron in the Dark Years, and still had some love for him, and so when called upon to fulfill their oath to Gondor, they would not, and so Isildur cursed them, never to rest until they had fulfilled their oaths.
During the late Third Age, it was believed by the Rohirrim that the Dwimorberg was haunted by the spirits of the Men of the Mountains, who would occasionally enter the valley of Harrowdale like shadows, bringing with them a great unquiet as well as death.
Aragorn II eventually allowed them to finally fulfill their oath, and they were released to go in peace. After the great events at the end of the Third Age, Dwimorberg was haunted no longer.
