Ettenmoors

The Ettenmoors or Troll-fells are a region in Eriador, to the North of Rivendell, which was infested by Mountain Trolls. The Witch-king of Angmar appearantly used Trolls from this region against Arnor, but after his defeat, the Trolls remained in the hills, and kept in check by the Dúnedain Rangers, descendants of the Northern Kingdom.
The land was wild, and many evil creatures dwelt there.
Only the rising evil of the Necromancer spurred some Trolls - specifically, Tom, William and Bert - to venture south and invade the farms near the Great East Road. The woods in which they settled (and were later turned to stone) was recalled Trollshaws.
== History ==
The Ettenmoors had been a peaceful part of the Dúnedain kingdom of Arnor until the middle of the Third Age when, during the Angmar War, the breakaway kingdom of Rhudaur became a vassal of the Witch-king of Angmar. After the war, the Witch-king fled to the Ettenmoors after his defeat at the Battle of Fornost. At that time the Ettenmoors were mainly ruled by Hill-men and Orcs, and was infested with trolls.
The land has three keeps (Lugazag, Tirith Rhaw and Tol Ascarnen), Isendeep Mine and Grimwood Lumber Camp that can be controlled by either the forces of Angmar or the Free Peoples of Middle-earth.
