Nurn

## The Nurn Confederacy Lore **(Server)**

Nūrn was made Independent in 3000 BC after an exchange between the Mouth of Sauron and the Great Lord Sauron. After several years of loyalty, he was awarded with the land of Nūrn in exchange for a part of the profits he would make from the large fertile lands of Nūrn.

After a couple years of harmony, and very fruitful trades between many of the nations of Middle Earth, Nūrn began to rise as an agricultural power, quickly becoming one of the richest nations. Several important political figures began to take large loans from Dante, putting him in positions of political power. What was once a nearly insignificant portion of Mordor finally came into the big leagues.

Then, while tensions between Mordor and Nūrn rised because of the lack of support from Nūrn, a major incident arised. Dante, while commanding the reconstruction of Dol Guldur, accidentally caused the death of nearly 300 morgul soldiers.

Sauron, obviously enraged requested compensation, and Dante denied.

In a fit of rage, Sauron declared a siege on the Eastern Guard, her armies marching from the Vale of Fellbeasts. Clearly outnumbered, Dante hired two utumno mercenaries to raise armies to help defend, but ultimately failed, and had to retreat after taking major casualties.

Regathering back in Thaurband, Dante riled up a group of Nūrnen slaves and trade-orcs with promises of wealth to form a rough, guerilla army. Realizing that control over the Eastern Guard was too firmly set, he decided to move his attention to the capital of Barad-dur, which he had a direct access too.

Marching through the hills of Mordor, Dante and his army of slaves and mercenaries marched all the way from Thaurband to Barad-dur, where he was able to siege control of the waypoint.

Deciding that a war with his closest ally was not in his interests, financially or politically, he offered a deal, Eastern Guard in exchange for Barad-dur, and perhaps a possible purchase of Cirith Ungol.

Sadly, although Dante gave Barad-dur back, he was disgusted to know that Sauron had given the Eastern Guard to Utumno to be able to pull back her forces.

The King of Nūrn asked Morgoth to retreat from the area, but after being denied such access, he, along with the rest of Mordor, Isengard, Dunland and Nalt-Illska sieged the area back and won.

Utumno, trying to split his armies attacked the Vale of Fell Beasts at the same time, with the help of Rohan, but ultimately failed when the Morgul Armies where able to retake the crevasse.

Eventually, Nurn, along with Mordor, Harad and Utumno formed an unholy Quadrumvirate, before Mordor and Harad were absorbed by Nurn
