Battles of Lórien

The **Battles of Lórien** (never given a proper name in the books) were a set of three battles in the north during the War of the Ring: fought between the Uruks (Orc-folk) of Dol Guldur and Mordor against the Galadhrim of Lothlórien under the Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel, which took place March 11, 15, and 22 of 3019. The battles resulted in victory for the Elves and allowed Celeborn to lead an assault on Dol Guldur, where Galadriel ended the evil influence of Sauron.

## History

### The battles

It is unknown how the Orc army crossed the River Anduin, though the North Undeep seems the most likely place to ford. Forces from Dol Guldur, reinforced with Orcs from Mordor assaulted Lothlórien three times, assisted at least once in a joint attack from the west by the Orcs of Moria. Though the battles are not described in detail by Tolkien, the fair woods of the borders of Lothlórien suffered grievous harm by fire, though the valour of the Elves prevented the enemy from penetrating too deeply into their forest realm. Thrice the enemy attacked, and the three times the assaults were driven back.
The valour of the Elven people that lived in Lórien was great, but Tolkien states that the main reason why Lórien was not conquered was "the power that dwelt there was far too great for any to overcome, save if Sauron had come there himself". Such power was the Lady Galadriel, wearing Nenya, who was able to defeat the Orcs.

Some of the Orcs then peeled south, either fleeing the defeat or more likely to deliberately invade Rohan and draw off any aid being sent to Gondor. Treebeard and a host of Ents, having already laid ruin to Isengard some days before set out to prevent them entering Rohan. The Orcs encountered the Ents on The Wold where they were either killed by the tree-shepherds, drowned in the River Anduin or fled to Dol Guldur.

### Aftermath

Following the battle, Celeborn and Galadriel led the Galadhrim across the Anduin in a fleet of many small elf boats. They entered Mirkwood and attacked Dol Guldur. Then, Galadriel came forth and threw down the walls and cleansed its pits with her power, and ended the grasp of evil in the forest. Dol Guldur was no more. As news of the victory of King Elessar down south reached the Wood-elves, Thranduil (who had recently defeated an army in the Battle Under the Trees) met with Celeborn on April 6.

Mirkwood, renamed Eryn Lasgalen, was divided between Thranduil (who claimed the North), the Beornings (who settled in the middle, the 'Narrows') and Celeborn who added the southern half to his realm, renaming it 'East Lórien'. Despite these victories, the Elves began to dwindle and Celeborn himself departed over the Sea during the early Fourth Age.

Battle of Dagorlad

The **Battle of Dagorlad** was a major battle of the War of the Last Alliance in the late Second Age.

## History

The battle took place in the year SA 3434. It was fought between the army of the Last Alliance under Gil-galad and Elendil against an army of Orcs and other creatures loyal to Sauron, on the plains of Dagorlad just outside Mordor between Emyn Muil and Cirith Gorgor. The Last Alliance joined with Anárion's army from Gondor, which was holding Osgiliath and Minas Ithil, and they marched to Dagorlad. Oropher and Amdír, annoyed by Gil-galad's command, prematurely charged at the enemy and were driven back, and Amdír along with many Galadhrim Warriors died in the Dead Marshes. Eventually, the Alliance was able to drive back the the enemy forces and win the battle, proceeding then to attack the Black Gate and advance into Udûn.

Corsairs of Umbar

The **Corsairs of Umbar** were a race of Men, specifically corrupted Númenóreans, living in Middle-earth, known for their piracy of ships along the coasts of Gondor.

Umbar was an old Númenórean haven settled by the King's Men, a proud faction loyal to the King and opposed to the divine authority of the Valar.

### Weapons

The Corsairs use daggers as their primary weapon. They are stronger than typical Orcs and like to stab their enemies. They also use firebombs which, while not much more powerful than their daggers and able to cause a friendly fire, can set their enemies ablaze or do some significant damage nonetheless. In the film *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring* they have ballistas mounted on their ships.

## History

### Early Third Age

After the downfall of Númenor, the Umbar settlers further descended into evil, and were called the Black Númenóreans. They took to pillaging and piracy along the coasts of Gondor, but in TA 933 Umbar was conquered by Gondor. However for over a hundred years Umbar was besieged by the Black Númenóreans and Haradrim until TA 1050, when the Black Númenóreans and Haradrim were heavily defeated by King Hyarmendacil I of Gondor.

During the Kin-strife, the defeated rebels of Gondor fled to Umbar, and came to be called Corsairs, most of them being Dúnedain, led by the descendants of Castamir the Usurper. For the next 362 years the Corsairs ravaged the coasts of Gondor, killing King Minardil in TA 1634 and sacking Pelargir. In TA 1810 Gondor retook Umbar, ending the line of Castamir. However Gondor's possession was not to last long and soon Umbar was lost to Haradrim and new Corsairs, mostly of Haradrim descent emerged. From then until the ending of the Third Age the Corsairs were again a menace to Gondor's coasts, launching an attack with five great fleets in TA 2758 that was only repelled with difficulty.

### War of the Ring

During the War of the Ring at the time of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, a Corsair fleet was on route to Harlond, after taking Pelargir, with the intention of aiding the forces of Mordor in the battle.

Aragorn, with the help of the Grey Company, Legolas, Gimli, and the Army of the Dead, drove the Corsairs off, capturing their ships and rowing them to Minas Tirith to relieve the siege of the city.

#### Fourth Age

Following this, at some point in the Fourth Age the city of Umbar was recaptured by King Elessar, ending the Corsair threat for good.
Cirith Ungol

**Cirith Ungol** was a pass or cleft through the Ephel Dúath located near Minas Morgul. At its heart was an Orc stronghold, near the caves of Shelob's lair.

## History

### Under Gondor

Cirith Ungol passed through the western mountains of Mordor and paralleled the Morgul-road into Gondor to some degree. It was guarded by the Tower of Cirith Ungol, which was built by the Men of Gondor after the War of the Last Alliance was fought. It is not known whether the pass and the tower were called Cirith Ungol when the Men of Gondor held it, though it is likely since Shelob "...was there before Sauron, and before the first stone of Barad-dûr" was laid, and *Cirith Ungol* meant 'Spider's Cleft' in Sindarin.

The pass was reached by several sets of steep stairs leading from close by Minas Morgul up the north cliff-face of Morgul Vale and through a tunnel high in the mountains, with other steep stretches that lacked stairs. Eventually, the path ran straight into Shelob's lair, though many side-tunnels had been carved by Orcs and Men to get past her webs.

### Under Sauron

Gondor occupied the tower guarding the pass until TA 1636 when the Great Plague killed much of Gondor's population. After the Plague, Gondor again occupied Cirith Ungol but they were eventually distracted by the Wainriders, and evil was allowed to return to Mordor. The tower was likely occupied by evil forces before Minas Ithil was besieged in TA 2000.

In the Quest of the Ring, Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee were led to this pass by Gollum to the lair of the ancient spider Shelob. At this time, there were also three-headed statues that "watched" the gateway into the keep of Cirith Ungol which could not be passed by mortals. Only through use of the Phial of Galadriel could the ring-bearer and his servant break these entities' will and enter.
Darkness

**Darkness**, or "**the Dark and the Shadow**", is the ever-present evil in Arda beginning with the rebellion of Melkor in his conceit before Eä. It is generally used to refer to the evil of Morgoth and of Sauron over the Ages.

## History of Darkness

The rebellion of Melkor tampered with and poisoned the original perfect symmetry of Arda, and corrupted all the works of the Ainur, but his chief works of Darkness fell upon the souls of the Children of Ilúvatar. After his decline and fall, his successor Sauron continued his works of evil until he too was defeated.

### Darkness and Men

Of all the races in Arda, Men were the easiest to corrupt and drive into temptation and thus were most afflicted by the Darkness. Not long after they awoke, Morgoth, probably appearing as a black rider on a black steed convinced them to worship him as their god instead of Eru, but some escaped and repented, becoming the Edain, the ancestors of the Dúnedain, but most still remained in darkness. Those that did remain and never went to the west remained loyal to Morgoth became known as Easterlings and were ever allied with the dark powers throughout the long ages either for hope of conquest or plunder. Bree-landers remained uncorrupted by Morgoth throughout Númenórean removal to Westernesse, and when Númenóreans returned to Middle-earth they found Bree-landers much as they were.

In the Second Age when the men of Númenor fell under the shadow, their faith wavered and their hearts turned to evil. Sauron came (as "Annatar") and was soon the master of the King's council, and men fell even further into the Shadow, convincing many of the faithless to worship Morgoth. Men came to be afraid of death, and this fear lingered. The embassy from Valinor speculated that this was the first sign of the shadow in Númenor. After Númenor's downfall, which transpired as a punishment for their king Ar-Pharazôn's acts against the Valar, Darkness continued to compel Men to follow it, and in various regions they served themselves and Sauron, even after his defeat in the War of the Ring.

### Legacy of darkness

Marring its original design, the advent of Darkness has brought the world its greatest woe, but would bring many together who opposed it.
Eye of Sauron

**This page is a candidate for deletion.**

*Remember to check what links here and the page history before deletion.*

The **Eye of Sauron**, or **Great Eye**, was a symbol adopted by the Dark Lord in the Third Age. It was said that few could endure its terrible gaze. The Eye was used as a symbol on armor and banners of Mordor, representing Sauron's quasi-omnipotence.

With it, Sauron searched for and tracked the paths of the Ring-bearer, Frodo Baggins, at the end of the Third Age.

## History

The Great Eye is a gigantic eyeball composed of energy that sits atop Barad-dûr.

## Trivia

* In the books, it is unknown when the Eye of Sauron was formed. At the apex of Barad-dûr, the Eye was a flaming, visible, though perhaps not tangible presence during the events of *The Lord of the Rings*, made clear when it appeared through a window when clouds parted in Mordor.
* In Monolith's sequel to *Shadow of Mordor*, *Middle-earth: Shadow of War* the Eye depicted in Jackson's trilogy is the actual manifestation of Sauron and the wraith of Celebrimbor, the Elf who forged the rings of power, in a state of perpetual combat. When the ring is destroyed and Barad-dûr falls, the Eye implodes and Celebrimbor is presumed free.
The Legendary Yellow River City

**The Yellow River City** is a beautiful, busy and bright Chinese-speaking city the size of New York City. Yellow River City is famous for tasty food, rich color and music, watermelons and artwork (both Traditional and Modern), but less than 12% of it's population speaks english, so the tourists often learn a lick or two of the language before a visit.

The Liliac Blossom park (located in there like central park is in NY) has a small vendor named "The little pink hero Mercandise" that sells china-traditional-style paintings of Kirby and the chuchu gang, often taking place in a bamboo forest or a village. The paintings are gretly beloved, and one sell for around US equv. of 20$. The painter of these pictures is a elrderly male indigo puffball named Xiaoming who is 124 years old and has painted all his life.

So when did Xiaoming begin painting Kirby? it was 19 years ago when kirby wandered over 200 miles away from pupupu vilage, and whilst kirby was in Yellow River for two days, Xiaoming sat at his vendor in Deer Square next to Famous PlumMart. As kirby walked inside the Plum-Mart, he was so beautiful that his face won Xiaoming's haert, and Xiaoming's 8-minute artist block evaporated and Xiaoming painted a blue-and-white picture of kirby fishing at a pond, titling it "The Little Boy Who Caught A Cloud".

Xiaoming's painting became extremely popular, and 500 copies were mede of it an a week! Xiaoming has painted over 239 Kirby pictures for the vendor, all of them greatly beloved by the residents of all ages and very popular.

The City is modern and bright. Yellow River is a hotspot for foodies and artists to hang out. Taranza has been there!

The Yellow River City carries many kinds of merchandise, ranging from plushies to erasers to even postage stamps.

First Battle of the Fords of Isen

The **First Battle of the Fords of Isen** was the first battle between Saruman's armies and the Rohirrim. There were two battles at the Fords of Isen. The first battle took place on February 25, 3019. The second was on March 2, 3019.

## History

Théodred, son of King Théoden of Rohan, was alerted by his scouts to the mustering taking place in Isengard. He manned both sides of the ford and went forward leaving three companies of riders to guard the eastern side. Early in the morning, he crossed over to the western side with a force mainly consisting of archers and cavalry. He planned to take the forces of Uruk-hai by surprise.

However, Saruman had tricked the scouts; his army was already marching out to attack the ford. Twenty miles to the north of the ford, Théodred encountered the vanguard of the Uruk-hai and quickly cut through their lines.

He then charged at the main force, which were prepared for the attack and were stationed behind trenches planted with pikes. Reinforcements came out of Isengard and outflanked the cavalry, nearly surrounding them. Hastily Théodred ordered a retreat, but the Uruk-hai could not be shaken off that easily. Grimbold, who was in command of the Rohirrim rearguard, had to cut down their pursuers many times.

Saruman's eastern force was much smaller but more dangerous. It contained Dunlendings, Warg riders and Uruk-hai. The Rohirrim guard on the eastern side of the ford had been driven into retreat, and their attackers recrossed the ford to attack Théodred on both sides. Théodred and his men had dismounted on a small islet to cover Grimbold's retreat. At the same time Grimbold's force was being attacked from the western side, and as Grimbold looked east, he saw Théodred's force being driven from the islet to a hill. Grimbold and a few men raced toward Théodred's position. Théodred was cutting his way through the Uruk-hai lines. But by the time Grimbold reached him, Théodred had fallen, cut down by a giant Orc. Grimbold slew the Orc and then found himself defending Théodred's body from enemies. He himself would have been cut down had it not been for Elfhelm.

Elfhelm had been leading four companies towards Helm's Deep, when it was reported to him that two Warg riders had been spotted. He rode at full speed to the ford and, seeing the situation, ordered his men to charge. Before long his men held the western side of the ford. They then charged on the islet. From this surprise attack most of the Uruk-hai retreated toward Isengard. When they reached the islet they found Grimbold defending Théodred's body against two huge Orcs. Elfhelm rushed to his aid and felled one enemy while Grimbold slew the other.

When they lifted Théodred's body, they found he was still alive. He lived long enough to say, "Let me lie here -to keep the ford until Éomer comes." The enemy attack ended by nightfall. The Rohirrim had held the ford but suffered heavy losses.
Deagol

**Déagol**, also known as **Nahald**, was a Stoor-hobbit of the Gladden Fields. Déagol was the cousin and best friend of Sméagol until his discovery of the Ring.

## Biography

Déagol was born some time between TA 2400 and TA 2430. Déagol and Sméagol apparently lived in an extended family under a Matriarch. He became the third bearer of the One Ring, after Isildur, when he found it in the Gladden river (a tributary to the Anduin) with his cousin Sméagol. On Sméagol's birthday in TA 2463 they went fishing (or rather Déagol fished while Sméagol dug in the earth), and a big fish pulled Déagol underwater. It was then that he discovered the One Ring, half-buried in the river-bed. When Sméagol saw the Ring, he stared at it with great desire, and then asked to keep it for his birthday. When his cousin refused, Sméagol became enraged and strangled Déagol to death, hiding the body, which was never found. This deed haunted Gollum for the rest of his life.

Of the Ring's bearers, Déagol carried it for the shortest collective time, possessing it only for no more than a few minutes. By contrast, the next shortest, Samwise Gamgee, carried it for a full day, and all the other Ring-bearers held it for at least a year. Déagol was also the only Ring-bearer never to use the Ring, all the others making use of its gift of invisibility at least once.

It was possible that the Ring had already affected Déagol in a way that made him desire to keep it, explaining his unwillingness to give it to Sméagol.
Dáin's Halls

In the Third Age, the **halls** of the Dwarf-king Dáin I formed the capital of the Grey Mountains.

## History

The halls of Dáin were likely founded by the first exiled dwarves from Khazad-dûm who had fled because of the Balrog. However because there is no information on the halls, it can only be assumed that it was the capital of Durin's Folk at the time.

In TA 2589, Dáin was killed by a great Cold-drake along with his son Frór at the entrance to the city. A year later, most of Durin's Folk abandoned the mountains, leaving for Erebor and the Iron Hills.
Ar-Pharazon

**Ar-Pharazôn the Golden** was the twenty-fifth and last King of Númenor. He was the son of Gimilkhâd, who was the younger brother of the twenty-fourth King, Tar-Palantir.

## History

Ar-Pharazon was born SA 3118 to Gimilkhâd. While he would marry Tar-Míriel, they had no children.

Durning his reign, he was said to be the greatest Numenorean king: he was generous and made the realm prosperous and mighty. So much so, in fact, that he was able to capture Sauron and take him prisoner to Númenor.

Ar-Pharazon was also the most vain king: he usurped the throne, and took his own cousin, Miriel, by force as his queen. Fearing his own mortality, he allowed himself to fall to Sauron's false promises of immortality, leading him to establish a worship of Morgoth, including human sacrifice. The "faithful" - those Numenoreans who opposed this worship and Ar-Pharazon's disregard for the Valar - were heavily persecuted by the King and his Men.

At last, he was compelled by Sauron to take his armada and sail to Valinor in an attempt to overtake it and claim immortality. In so doing, he forced the hand of the Valar to call upon Eru to change the world. Arda was made round, Valinor made inaccessible to mortals and Numenor was lost in a deluge.

Luckily, the faithful led by Elendil secretly set sail to Middle Earth beforehand, and established the realms of Arnor and Gondor. Sauron, too, survived the deluge and returned to Mordor before being overthrown by Elendil's son, Isildur, in the Battle of Dagorlad.

He died SA 3319 on the shores of Aman at the age of 102.

## The Lord of the Ring

### The Fellowship of the Ring

    His name is seen on one of the scrolls that Gandalf is looking through when finding information about the One Ring.
Dark Days

The **Dark Days**, as mentioned by Haldir, also known as **the Dark Years** were a period of time between SA 1693 and 3434, with a brief lull during Sauron's captivity in Númenor from 3262 to 3319.

During those years, Sauron wielded the One Ring and controlled many of the Free Lands of Middle Earth, most notably parts of Harad, Rhun and Anorien. He was unable, however, to overrun Rivendell or Lindon, the great Elvish strongholds remaining in Middle Earth.

These, aligned with the Elendil, king of the Faithful who escaped the deluge of Numenor, formed the Last Alliance which overthrew Sauron and ended the Dark Days.
Desolation of the Dragon

The **Desolation of the Dragon** (or the **Desolation of Smaug**) was the wasted, unpeopled lands around Erebor and Dale, charred and blackened by the burning breath of Smaug the Dragon. The borders of the Desolation harboured a little clinging greenery and life, but its heart was scorched and utterly barren. The desolate lands extended southwards some miles along the banks of the River Running from Smaug's lair beneath the Lonely Mountain, but the lands to the north of the mountain seem to have suffered even more fiercely. After Smaug's death, it seems that the Desolation was slowly reclaimed, so that both Erebor and Dale were eventually to recover from their destruction and prosper once again.
Ford of Bruinen

The **Ford of Bruinen** was a means of crossing the river Loudwater (Bruinen) on the Great East Road, in Eriador near the house of Rivendell.

## History

At the beginning of the War of the Ring, Frodo Baggins, astride Arwen's horse Asfaloth, was pursued by the Nazgûl to the Ford of Bruinen. At the ford Frodo, poisoned by a deadly wound, made his stand, and defied the Witch-king of Angmar. This lured the Ringwraiths into the Bruinen, prompting Elrond to command a great flood from far away. Gandalf, who had arrived in Rivendell, caused the waters to take the form of rushing horses. This flood killed the steeds of the Ringwraiths, which led them to later make use of winged fellbeasts.
Aragorn and Arwen

**Aragorn and Arwen's relationship** is one of the main romantic relationships in the *Lord of the Rings* trilogy.

## Early history

Aragorn and Arwen knew each other since Aragorn was a young man, besides them being foster siblings. However, Elrond would not allow Aragorn to marry her until he was king.

## Aragorn's impression with Arwen

Aragorn was in love with Arwen since he first saw her when she returned from her trip by visiting her mother's homeland, Lothlórien. However, he agreed to Elrond that he wouldn't marry her un til he was king. In a flashback that takes place during *The Two Towers*, it is revealed that Aragorn left for Arwen in helping Frodo and that he would want to return her necklace to her, but Arwen refuses, and says it was a sign for their love for one another.

He is consistently worried for her, but knows he must let her go with her other people to the Grey Havens. Elrond informs Aragorn later that Arwen is dying and that the ring must be destroyed for her to survive. Sauron uses Arwen against Aragorn when he faces him for the first time on screen. Later on, when it is revealed that Arwen is alive, they kiss passionately and become husband and wife at the end of the series, but are married off screen.

## Arwen on Aragorn

Arwen has been in love with Aragorn since she first saw him, but was forbidden by her father to ever marry him until he was king. Eventually, the two fell in love despite being foster siblings. She gives up her entire immortality to age with Aragorn. Arwen has complete faith in Aragorn, believing he will succeed in saving Middle-earth and return to him. She even disobeys her father and leaves the company that leaves for the Grey Havens.

While it is at first believed she is dying, she in fact recovers after the Ring is destroyed and is finally reunited with Aragorn and they kiss passionately with everyone watching them.
Glamdring

**Glamdring** (**Foe-hammer** or **Beater** by the Goblins and Orcs) is an Elven sword wielded by Gandalf

## Background

**Glamdring**, Orcrist and possibly Sting were forged for Turgon, king of the Elvish city of Gondolin the First Age. It was one of the finest blades in Middle Earth, made for the wars with the Orcs. However, it was lost with Turgon during the sack of the city.

## The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

In the late Third Age, the sword somehow landed in possession of the Trolls, William, Tom, and Bert, where it was found in a Troll-Hoard by the Great East Road by Gandalf, during the Quest of Erebor.

Meanwhile, Orcrist was given to Thorin, the leader of the Company, and Sting was a sword Gandalf found and gave to his companion, Bilbo Baggins.

During the Company's visit to Rivendell, Elrond - a descendant of Turgon - identified the swords by name and heritage. The Goblin King later identified it as "beater" when Gandalf dispatched the Great Goblin.

## The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Gandalf later had Glamdrin, which he used to dispatch Durin's Bane, an ancient evil Balrogs.

He used it during the Battle of Gondor as well.

Chase to Rivendell

The **Chase to Rivendell** was a chase where Radagast the Bird-tamer attempted to lead the Hunter Orcs away while Gandalf led Thorin and Company towards the Great East Road which led them into Rivendell, the House of the Elves.

## History

In the year TA 2941, an Orc Band led by Yazneg made an attempt to kill the Dwarves, but they were all distracted by Radagast and his Rabbits who was drawing them away from the company. While Radagast continued to draw the Hunter Orcs away, the Company hid behind a rock when an Orc approached the rock and picked up on a scent. After Kili shot the Orc's warg, the Orc fell in the Dwarven's hideout and is killed by Dwalin and Bifur. Yazneg heard the Orc's cry, and ordered the Orcs to go after the Dwarves. As the company hide inside a cave, the Hunter Orcs find it will be an easy kill. Fifty Elves led by Lord Elrond then appear and hunt the Orcs. All Orcs are killed, except Yazneg and Fimbul, who retreat back to Weathertop while Thorin and Company managed to reach Rivendell.

In the aftermath of the skirmish, Yazneg is killed by Azog for his failure.
Bow (weapon)

A **bow** is a long-range weapon usually, but not exclusively, made of wood that shoots arrows. A bowstring is added and is used to release arrows. Most significant  characters
who wielded the bow were Bard and Kíli, as well as Tauriel and Legolas. Hobbits, elves, and men mostly used bows and arrows, and dwarves used it rarely.

In *The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey*, Kili has a bow as well as an arrow and always preferred that weapon. However, it is not seen after the first Hobbit film, implying to be left behind in the Misty Mountains. Thorin also bears a bow in *The Desolation of Smaug* and *The Battle of the Five Armies*. His was presumably lost when the Spiders of Mirkwood attacked and captured him and his company. He had one again in the last film. Also in both films, Tauriel of Mirkwood holds onto hers, but it is destroyed by King Thranduil.

Legolas' main weapon was bows and arrows. He only ran out of arrows in *The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey*. He was given a bow from Lothlorien. There are also some seen in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Chieftain of the Dúnedain

**Chieftain of the Dúnedain**, also called **Lord of the** **Dúnedain**, was a title taken by the Heirs of Isildur after the loss of the kingdom of Arthedain; sixteen lords of Men, from Aranarth (elder son of Arvedui, last King of Arthedain) to Aragorn II Elessar. The title was a hereditary one.

## History

The title was created following the final destruction of Arthedain in TA 1974 by the Witch-king of Angmar. The heir to the throne of Arthedain, Aranarth son of Arvedui, in TA 1976 chose not to claim the kingship and instead ruled the remnants of his people as Chieftain. The Chieftains were raised in Rivendell, where the heirlooms of the House of Isildur were also kept.

They were descendants of Isildur through the Kings of Arthedain and Anárion through Fíriel; as such they regarded themselves as the legitimate heirs to both Arnor and Gondor. The Chieftains continued to take the kingly prefix of *ar(a)-*, to signify their royal heritage and their right to rule Arnor. When the line of Anárion failed, the Chieftains considered themselves the heirs of Anárion through their ancestor Fíriel; none of the Chieftains ever forgot Arvedui's claim to the throne.

The people of Arthedain became known as the Rangers of the North, a wandering people living in secret. Due to the destruction of Angmar, and the Watchful Peace, which followed after the Wizard Gandalf and his investigation of Dol Guldur drove Sauron temporarily into the East, there was little evil in Eriador and attacks by the enemy were few and far between.

It is notable that most of the Chieftains lived out their full life-span and their longevity did not decrease as much as that of the Men of Gondor.

Aragorn II became the last Chieftain of the Dúnedain when he claimed the title of High King of the Reunited Kingdom.
Dwimorberg

**Dwimorberg** was a mountain located in the White Mountains. It was haunted by the Army of the Dead, spirits of the men of the White Mountain after being cursed by Isildur.

## Description

Dwimorberg was situated within the White Mountains at the valley of Harrowdale. The location, Dunharrow stood above a cliff on the eastern side of the Dwimorberg valley, which was also surrounded by the Dimholt, a forest of pinewood and fir that housed the Dark Door.

A standing stone was placed in front of a doorway that led to the path of the Dead.

## History

### Second Age

Before they were cursed, the Men of the White Mountain swore an oath to serve Gondor and its king, Isildur. However, the men's ancestors worshipped Sauron during the Dark Years. During the Last Alliance of Men and Elves, the men still retained their love for the Dark Lord; when it was their time to fulfill their oath, the Men refused to serve Isildur. Enraged, the king of Gondor cursed them to never rest until their oaths were fulfilled by one of his descendants.

### War of the Ring

During the War of the Ring, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli travelled through Dwimorberg to reach the Army of the Dead and gain their help in defeating their enemies led by Sauron. They were freed them from their curse and considered their oath fulfilled shortly after the Battle of Pelennor Fields, leaving Dwimorberg haunted no more.

## Differences between novel and film

* In the book of *Return of the King*, the Army of the Dead do not participate in the Battle of Pelennor Fields
Brandywine

The **Brandywine** was a river of Middle-earth located in both the land of the Shire and northern Eriador.

## Description

The Brandywine flowed out of Lake Evendim in northern Eriador, and continued eastward for about 60 miles before turning generally southward; and afterwards for about another 120 miles flowed through the easternmost reaches of the Shire, forming the Shire's eastern border and separating Buckland, from the Eastfarthing and the rest of the Shire. Its only major crossings in the Shire were the Brandywine Bridge (originally *Bridge of Stonebows*) on the East Road and the Bucklebury Ferry.

Skirting the Old Forest to the south, the river then looped south-westward, crossing an old road at Sarn Ford and flowed to the north of the depopulated region of Minhiriath before flowing into the Great Sea to the north of the forested region of Eryn Vorn. The river also has an island known as Girdley Island in the river just above the Brandywine Bridge.

No tributaries of the Brandywine are described except those near or in the Shire:

* The Water - in the central Shire, from the northwest
* The Stockbrook - arose in the Woody End
* The river Shirebourn - rises in Green-hill country; the Thistle Brook flowed into it
* Withywindle - from the Old Forest

## History

Frodo Baggins' father, Drogo Baggins, was said to have drowned in the Brandywine River with his wife during a boating trip.[*citation needed*]

The Brandywine was much longer before the War of Wrath destroyed not only most of Beleriand but part of the Great Gulf's northern shores.
Fangorn

**Fangorn Forest** was a forest beneath the southeastern flank of the Misty Mountains.

It was known for being the last habitation of the Ents and Huorns. It was named after the oldest Ent, Fangorn (Treebeard). It is also called **Entwood** by the Rohirrim.

## History

Fangorn Forest was actually just the easternmost survivor of the immense forest that spanned all of Eriador and Calenardhon in the First Age and early Second Age, but which was destroyed by the Númenóreans felling trees to build their mighty ships and Sauron's war on the Elves. Fangorn forest was the oldest part of Treebeard's realm, and to here the Ents retreated.

### Third Age

On the late February of TA 3019, Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took escaped from the Orcs that captured them and met Treebeard. They persuaded him of the danger that Saruman posed to the Ents and their forest. The Ents took council and agreed to march against Isengard. Huorns were sent to Helm's Deep to assist in the Battle of the Hornburg.

On March 1, T

A 3019, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli entered the forest and encountered the White Rider, whom they believed to be Saruman, but was in fact Gandalf returned from his battle at Khazad-dum. After the War of the Ring, Legolas took Gimli on a trip to the forest to see its wonders.
Changing of the World

The last king, Ar-Pharazôn, wanted control of Middle-earth, and so he attacked Sauron. Sauron's armies became afraid of the might of Númenor, and deserted him, so he was captured and brought imprisoned to the Númenórean king. However, Sauron exploited his power to corrupt the Númenorian king to his will. Soon he became his adviser, and much of Númenor obeyed his will and worshiped Morgoth. Sauron convinced Ar-Pharazôn to try to assail Aman for immortality, desiring to destroy Númenor with the wrath of the Valar. However as this was done, the Valar appealed to Eru Ilúvatar. Eru destroyed the Númenórean host, by crushing it under stones; however, he also caused the whole of Númenor to sink under the Great Ocean. Just a few families of Númenórean royal blood, descendants of a party called "The Faithful" because they were uncorrupted by Sauron, had fled Númenor by ships earlier with their most treasured possessions and heirlooms. They were led by Elendil the Tall (4 ships), and his two sons: Isildur (3 ships) and Anárion (2 ships).

They set sail to Middle-earth, where the followers of Elendil established two kingdoms, which were founded as Realms in Exile: Gondor in the south and Arnor in the North. Some of the King's Men, enemies of Elendil, established other realms in exile to the south; of these Umbar was the chief. The culture of Númenor became the dominant culture of Middle-earth (thus, Westron, a descendant of the Adûnaic language of Númenor became the lingua franca). The sadness and the shock from the loss of their homeland lived ever after in the hearts of those of Númenórean descent, exemplified by the tradition of the Standing Silence. Arda was made spherical, and Aman was put further beyond Middle-earth, out of the reach of mortal men. Sauron, although greatly diminished and bereft of shape, escaped Númenor and returned to Middle-earth once more.
Boromir

**Boromir** was a valiant warrior of Gondor for his prowess in combat and skill on the battlefield. He was the eldest son of Denethor II, who was Steward of Gondor during the War of the Ring, and his wife Finduilas. Even the people of Rohan admired him, particularly Éomer. He was the older brother of Faramir.

## Biography

### Before the War of the Ring

Boromir was born in the year TA 2978. He was the eldest child of Denethor II, the last Ruling Steward of Gondor and his wife Finduilas, and would have succeeded as Steward after Denethor's death, had he lived. When Boromir was only ten years old, his mother died. Consequently, his father became grim and came to prefer Boromir over his brother, Faramir. Despite this fact, Boromir looked after his younger brother and they became very close. Boromir devoted himself to leading his people and fought in the battle for the eastern part of Osgiliath in TA 3018. He, his brother, and two others were the only survivors of the unit that held the bridge until its destruction; they had to swim the river Anduin to reach safety.

### War of the Ring

Following the battle Boromir set out from Minas Tirith to Rivendell to decipher a riddle.

He first appears at the Council of Elrond, where he suggests that Gondor use the One Ring as a weapon against Sauron. Although he squabbles with Aragorn over the kingship of Gondor, he joins the Fellowship of the Ring when it assembles. As the Fellowship travels toward Lórien, Boromir proves his worth as a fighter but continues to be tempted by the Ring. When the group arrives at Caras Galadhon, Galadriel speaks to him telepathically of the fall of Gondor. At the end of the first film, Boromir tries to take the Ring from Frodo as Saruman's Uruk-hai attack the Fellowship. Frodo escapes by using the Ring, and Boromir dies defending Merry and Pippin from the orcs. As he passes, he apologizes to Aragorn and acknowledges Aragorn's birthright to the throne of men. Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli then lay his body in a rowboat that floats down the Anduin.

Dragons

**Dragons** were ancient, intelligent, powerful creatures, as feared as they were admired in Middle-earth. Their exact origin is debated, though it was clearly stated that they were created by Morgoth in some sense, millennia ago.

Dragons lived throughout the First, Second, and Third ages of Middle-earth and may have lived longer. They were originally bred by Morgoth during the first age to serve as powerful war beasts. The first dragon ever seen in Middle-earth was Glaurung, the father of dragons, whom Morgoth used to great effect during the fourth and fifth battles in the War of the Jewels. Like most of the creatures made or twisted by Morgoth, they were capable of reproducing independently. Dragons were sometimes referred to as **serpents**, **great Worms**, or simply **Drakes**, with the first two specifying the Wingless Dragons.

During the First Age, the greatest heirloom of the house of Hador was the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin, which was a helm of great weight that had as its crest an image of the head of Glaurung the Dragon.

The dragons of the Second Age and Third Age were a blight upon the Dwarves and all those who hoarded treasure. Some, like Smaug the Golden and Scatha the Worm, went from the Withered Heath and invaded Dwarven kingdoms.

Before the coming of Smaug, there had not been notable activities observed during the Second Age, as they are largely independent while they still posed threats to men along with "demons" and "misshappen beasts", and Sauron gathered *"all the evil things of the days of Morgoth that remained on earth and beneath it"*, possibly including dragons, beginning the Accursed Years.

There was an inn in the Shire called *The Green Dragon*, and a type of flower and firework called a Snap Dragon. For Bilbo Baggins' 111th birthday, Gandalf made a special dragon firework.

It is presumed that, after the death of Smaug in the Third Age, the great dragons had become extinct. According to Gandalf, the fire-drake race survived until at least just before the War of the Ring, and some lesser kin survived even after the war. It may have been possible that some races of dragon still existed throughout the Fourth Age.
Battle of Greenfields

The **Battle of Greenfields** was a battle that took place in the Northfarthing of the Shire in the latter half of the Third Age, and was the only time the Shire was ever attacked by the Goblins of Mount Gram.

## History

In TA 2747, a band of Goblins from Mount Gram led by their King Golfimbul invaded the Shire. The hobbits were prepared and met them with a force led by Bandobras Took in the Northfarthing. According to the traditional story, Bullroarer charged the ranks of the Goblin army on horseback and with a wooden club knocked Golfimbul's head clean off, sending it sailing a hundred yards through the air and down a rabbit-hole, thus winning the battle and simultaneously inventing the game of golf.

No other battle occurred within the borders of the Shire until the Battle of Bywater on November 1, 3019, over two-hundred years later.

Dunland

**Dunland** is a region of hills to the North-East of Rohan.

## Inhabitants

Dunland was inhabited by the Dunlendings, an ancient but wild people who harrassed the people of Rohan (most notably at the times of Helm and Théoden) for robbing them of the more fertile lands of Calenardhon. It was also the habitat of the Crebain, a race of crows, which Saruman (whose stronghold of Isengard was beside Dunland) later used as spies.

It was also briefly the home of the Dwarven refugees of Erebor, who settled there after failing to reclaim Moria to the North. They worked there in the service of men as merchants, miners and toy-makers before their leader Thorin led them west to the Blue Mountains. It seems that some Dwarves continued to nevertheless live there, as Bofur was quick to use this as an excuse for Thorin and Company's presence in the Misty Mountains (when inquired by their captor, the Goblin King), saying that they were overdue to visit distant relations of his.

## History

In TA 2941, Thorin heard rumours that his missing father, Thrain, was seen in the wilds near Dunland, and went looking there, in vain. It was during this visit, in which he drew near the Misty Mountains, that he was spotted by spies of The Necromancer, and contacted by Gandalf, thereby inciting the Quest of Erebor.

The Dwarves also continued to deal with the inhabitants of Dunland, as Kíli recalls escorting merchants there, who were trading for the region's furs with silver.

During the War of the Ring, The Dunlendings swore allegiance to Saruman and attacked the Westfold of Rohan, burning many of its villages to the ground.
Free People of Middle-earth

The Free People are the races within Middle-earth who were not aligned with Sauron.

## History

The Dwarves were divided into Seven Houses, while the Elves were roughly divided into High Elves (who returned from Valinor to fight the Dark Lord), Middle Elves, Wood-Elves and Wild-Elves.

Men were divided into the Men of the West (who came from Numenor), Northmen of Rhovanion, and Men of Darkness. These included the Wildmen of Enedwaith and Anorien, as well as the Easterlings and Haradrim. Also descended from Men (specifically, the Northmen) were the Skinchangers and Halflings or Hobbits.

The Hobbits included three tribes: Fallohide, Harfoot and Stoor. Some of the latter group stayed in the Wilderland, becoming the Riverfolk, while the other traveled to Eriador and mostly settled in The Shire.

Another race of Middle Earth includes the Ents, which were tree-like giants. They lived in Beleriand and in the wide forestlands of Eriador and Enedwaith before their lands were reduced to Fangorn and the Brown Lands.
