Angmar (Faction)

In ancient years, the Witch-Realm of Angmar was a nexus of evil in the north, a power that for centuries made war with Arnor under their fell Witch-King, the Lord of the Nazgûl. Of old the faction was home to many Orcs, Trolls, Wargs, and Men, and by its power the North Kingdom of the Dúnedain was wiped out. But Angmar too fell shortly after, for the High Elves and Men of Gondor destroyed their armies in a battle at Fornost, and for a time the vale of Angmar was purged of evil.

However, evil had long laid hid in the mountains north of the vale, and now that evil has returned in force. Orcs, Trolls, and Wargs have returned to the ruins of the Witch-Realm, and threaten Eriador once more. Ruined fortresses now host Orc-companies, as do newer camps.

In addition, another ancient power has returned under Angmar's banner: the Hillmen of Rhudaur. These men are fierce, and though their numbers are massively reduced from their former stength, they will still do anything to get their revenge on the Dúnedain that ruined them.
