Actual Biome shot, not just a village |

| “ | ‘I am afraid we must go back to the Road here for a while,’ said Strider. ‘We have now come to the River Hoarwell, that the Elves call Mitheithel. It flows down out of the Ettenmoors, the troll-fells north of Rivendell, and joins the Loudwater away in the South. | ” |
–The Fellowship of the Ring, Flight to the Ford | ||
The Angle is a wild land that lies between the rivers Hoarwell and Loudwater. However, it is in this very land that the last settlements of the Dúnedain of the North lie, hidden and well guarded by the skillful Rangers and Outriders of the Dúnedain.
The Biome itself is quite similar to neighbouring Lone-lands, featuring vast grassland plains, rolling hills and occasional scattered Forests.
Upon entering this guarded land one receives the achievement, "A Fastness in the Wild".

Mining
Mining in the Angle is quite standard and a variety of common minerals can be found in this Biome.
Vegetation
As the Angle is for the most part a land of hills and plains, vegetation is sparse here save in the scattered areas of forest. However, it is worth noting that the Kingsfoil weed can rarely be found here.
