User blog:Calbeius or Urukgoth/A Calbeius Original: The Explanation of Evil in the Fourth Age

The Fourth Age began after the One Ring was destroyed and "All Evil was destroyed forever." Well, major parts of the world would be unpopulated and it would take several years to repopulate the world with good. I would like to say other wise. Once the One Ring was destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom, Mordor was destroyed. A large population of Mordor was killed and now it is controled by Gondor. The remains of evil that still exist are the orcs of Gundabad in the Misty Mountains. Im pretty sure that during the War of the Ring, the Dwarfs of the Blues or Iron Hills or Erebor, went to the Mines of Moria to reclaim it. Once the Dwarfs won, the Orcs of Gundabad retreated to Goblin Town. Several of the Gundabad forces splt up into groups and into the broken parts of Arnor.

Now lets talk about how Angmar survived. Angmar was already destroyed in the first place. It was left in ruin and abandoned by its master. Those who stayed in Angmar survived from Mordor. The remains of Angmar were suppose to go to Mordor, but several of them were... well... cowards. Those who didnt want to leave Angmar stayed in Angmar. They managed to repopulate Angmar wence the Fourth Age took one thousand years in place. Angmar didnt do anything destructive or evil for one thousand years. Its mostly because they were weakened for so long and some of the orc their would rather start over. What i mean by start over is by rebuilding Angmar, but they would still hate the Rangers of the North and the High Elves. No one knows when Angmar will rise again, but it could be soon or later.

Its kind of strange how the Uruk-Hai of Isengard survived that day when Fangorn attacked. I think Rohan helped Fangorn fight Isengard. For some of them actually escaped into Enedwaith. Rohan was to go after these survivors in hopes that the Uruk-Hai could never repopulate. But then the remains of the Uruk-Hai escaped into Dunland. The Uruks said that they would help give the Dunlending "upgrades" on their armor and weapons. For exchange, the Dunlending will allow the Uruks to repopulate in Dunland. For the Rohirrim were going to take Dunland already, but the Dunlending were given information about their armor and weapons, including new strategies. For the Uruk-Hai were to repopulate in Dunland, and soon they once they had enough Uruks, they were to take back Isengard.

Im not sure how Dol Guldur had to do anything. I do know for a fact that Khamul helped in the War of the Ring in Saurons favor. For Khamul was a Nazgûl. He controled Dol Guldur and im pretty sure orcs inhabited the place. Dol Guldur in my own opinion has to be a pretty small biome. But between the orcs of Dol Guldur was the Wood land realm. You would have to travel through the dark forests of Mirkwood Corrupted. Containing a large mass of Spiders which i think Dol Guldur was to control. But to me, it seemed that they would be fine just going against the Wood Elves. They are also the enemies of the Lothlorien/Galadrim Elves, but Wood Elves just seem more like a Dol Guldur enemy to me. Galadrim is a lot closer, but they are both elves. Which makes sense for an orc to hate. So long story short, Dol Guldur would survive through the One Rings destruction.

What about, Mordor you migh ask. Well, Mordor was completly obliterated after the One Ring was destroyed. But now Mordor was controlled by Gondor. Im not sure if ALL of Mordor was destroyed, just the dark and evil part. Nurn was a part of Mordor, but that didnt seem like a place to destroy. or maybe it was just a certain region surrounding Mount Doom and the Black Gate. Yes, that makes more sense. Mordor looked like it was destroyed in the movies, but it was only due to Mount Doom. Mount Doom causes a series of destructive events in Mordor. It didnt destroy Nurn however, which was good for the Gondorians. They set the slaves of Nurn free, but again like the others, several escaped out of Mordor. They actually retreated back into a place called the Eastern Desolation. They populated at least enough to take on Gondor in Mordor. But it was actually quite easy for Mordor to reclaim itself. As said in the movie and im not sure in the book, i havent read the books unfortunatly, that the air in Mordor could possibly kill you or sicken you. So it did to the Gondorians. Mordor easily took back the Black Land and repopulated in Nurn. The destroyed area due to Mount Doom actually took a long term of centuries to rebuild. Several Orc mages helped the process of rebuilding Mordors geographical state.

What about the Southern land of Haradrim and all those tribes? They were fine. After the Dark Lord had been defeated, the leaders of the South just assumed to live their everyday lives. The Haradrim still fought Gondor and Moredain fought Tauredain. This also went for the Easterlings and all the other tribes of Rhun.

So, let me explain something else. I was told that the Elves of Middle Earth left Arda to join the Valar in Valanor. When it was around 500 F.A. they were forced to return to Arda. This is because evil was rising again.

This is my explanation. It might not fit in after the Ring was destroyed, but this is what my point of view is after it was destroyed.
