Gedron indeed is in the 2950 corsair setup. he must be pretty longlived when he originally was a contemporary of Haruth & co. 
From the module „Assassins of Dol Amroth“
In this module we find one ME PBM character
Gontran (lvl. 8 Dunadan Assassin – 30 ag) is the main NPC in this module. In his youth, one day while hunting in the woods, he found a leather bag with several bronze amulets. They were artefacts of a forgotten sauronic cult and radiated evil. They twisted his mind towards the darkness, improved his skills in leadership and made him found a secret organisation to undermine the society of Dol Amroth. Thus he created a “cult of shadows” and trained a group of assassins to spread terror in the city. Due to the amulets, he was able to use magic.
From the module „Haunted Ruins of the Dunlendings“
In this module we find one ME PBM character
Shoglic (lvl. 8 Undead Animist – 30 mage) is the main NPC in this module. In the beginning of the Third Age, he was a priest in the service of Sauron, wandering Lamedon to search for a place to worship his master. Somewhere near the town of Calembel, he and his followers found a hidden valley and a forgotten temple of the Dean Coentis and decided to make it their home. Shortly after, a fight broke out among the priests and Shoglic was slain. The survivors fled and left his dead body on the altar, where his weak ghost survived.
Several hundred years later, some Dunlendings found the place and mistook Shoglic for one of their gods. They worshipped him and gave him strength to take form again. Soon, he had a cult forming around the temple and a small band of followers whom he ordered to bring him human sacrifices to drain energy from.
He is bound to the altar and cannot leave the temple. So one must wonder how he could join the ranks of the Cloud Lord…
The module also features the artefact “Stone Mace of Setmaenen”, which, among other things, gives a +20 bonus to fighting ghosts.
Mormegil (Bernd),
Do those Modules have other characters in them – Notice you say "in this module we find one ME PMB character – if they have other character and you wouldn’t mind can you list them also – this has been interesting reading the history and not to mention can alway use another name for character make-up when playing a game !!
Thanks,
Mike
Well maybe that’s reflected in the fact he retires or is challenged out in 99% of the games, i.e. returns to his temple in “undead” form. <g>
From the Module “Havens of Gondor – Land of Belfalas”
In this module we find seven MEPBM characters
Prince Celdrahil (lvl. 25 Dunadan warrior - 60 co, 10 em) is the ruler of the fiefdom Dor-en-Ernil and resides in Dol Amroth. He is the mightiest vassal of King Tarondor of Gondor and his chief advisor. He is described as stern but just, enjoying the pleasures of social life and being a skilled and bold commander. He married to Lady Meriel from Glanhir and they have four children, Edrahil, the throne heir, his younger brother Celdrion and the two daughters Merien and Edethariel. (So much for throwing in some more names…)
Among other things, he carries the heirloom of his family, the longsword Narvorn, which is a +25 weapon that gives access to light spells and a resistance against magic.
Camlin ( lvl. 18 Dunadan warrior - 50 co) is the warden of the castle. In times of war, he leads the host of the city of Dol Amroth. He is described as inciteful and witty, well liked by the garrison and town guard. He is heavily built, wears mithril chainmail and uses a magic warhammer as can be seen in his character portrait.
Saerol (lvl. 18 Dunadan Astrologer - 10 em, 40 ma) is the lord counsellor for prince Celdrahil. He was trained by Saruman himself and recommended by the white wizard to Celdrahils father, now he serves the family for nearly a century. He is a lesser (i.e. mortal) member of the “Heren Istarion” (Order of Wizards) to which also Gandalf and Radagast belong. He frequently informs Saruman (known as Curunir at that time and still a “good guy”) about the events in Southern Gondor. Saerol carries several magical devices, among them a mirror with which he can directly communicate with Saruman.
Marahil (lvl. 16 half-elven rogue - 10 co, 10 ag, 20 em) is the most unconventional of the prince’s Arequain (Bannerets). Marahil is also known as Ilgazâr, which was his given name, but is kept secret. His father was a Dunadan, his mother a silvan elf, but he keeps that ancestry secret, growing a mustache to hide it. He is cunning and deceptive, and therefore the Prince entrusts him with secret missions. Once he was captured on a mission at Vamag, but did not break to the torture and finally escaped. What’s more, he is secretly in love with princess Meriel. So far he regards his feelings as hopeless, but one day he might be tempted to betray his prince…
Along to his fine chainmail and mithril sword, he wears his famous Ring of Impersonation, which allows him to impersonate any person for 8 hours per day after studying it for one minute.
Argirion ( lvl. 20 mannish warrior – 50 co) is the lord of linhir, the second largest city in Dor-en-Ernil. He is a well-respected military commander but less skilled in dealing with civilian problems. Therefore, smuggling and corruption thrive in Linhir. He wears a mithril half-plate and carries a broadsword.
Tharúdan (lvl. 25 Sinda alchemist – 20 ag, 50 ma) is the master shipwright of the haven of Edhellond. He has learned his craft from Cirdan and is totally devoted to shipbuilding. He maintains good relations to Prince Celdrahil. He has a load of powerful trinkets that did not make it into the PBM.
Khathog (lvl. 14 Dunlending animist – 40 ma) is a priest of the Dark Lord. He was trained by the Witch King and sent into the south to revive the dark worship among the Dunnish inhabitants. He set up his cult at an old temple near Cirith Dunrandir. He carries the Staff of the Serpent which triples powerpoints and can transform into a large snake once a day. He owns several more artefacts not featured in the PBM, most notably a Pendant of the Dark Gate, which can summon a Nazgul once a year. I wonder how Nazgul feel about being summoned by such low subordinates…

ADUNAPHEL THE QUIET
Adunaphel was born in her uncle Adunazils home(Bar Forowing) on Numenors North Cape in Forostar in the year S.A 1823. Her family possessed noble blood and owned extensive lands in Forostar and Orrostar. Even as a young child, she was recognised as being exceptionally beautiful, but her youth was scarred by the death of her very old father(Adunahil) and she dwelled in remorse for many years. She fought with her unstable mother Alcariel, whose ties with the Eldar had disturbed her father and had been the source of marital strife. Aduaphels despair over her father’s death and the blame she attributed to her mother contributed to her fervent support of her uncle’s small “Adunaic” faction in the court of Tar-Ciryatan(r. S.A 1869-2029).
Like Adunazil and his ally Prince Tindomul(Er-Murazor, the future Witch King), Adunaphel sought to sever Westernesse’s close ties with the Elves, in hope that the Edain could build along their own cultural line and expand their military and economic strength. Her ultimate hope, of course, was to see Numenorean dominion over all Men. This aim drove her to leave Numenor in S.A. 1914.
Adunaphel sought her own crown, but no such opportunity existed in her homeland. She followed the course of many of her royal allies and went to Middle-earth. Landing with her retainers at the haven of Umbar, then a small Numenorean anchorage, she settled at Vamag(Har. “Blood Fell”) on the northwestern tip of the great peninsula. There, she erected a citadel that became the focus of her expanding domain.
By S.A. 1939, Adunaphel overtly controlled much of Endor’s coastal lands between Umbar and the river Harnen, while her agents in Umbar manipulated the growing trade center and the territory to the south. The Lord of Vamag became a major influence among the Haradrim as well, her power and rapacious nature overwhelming the primitive Haradan fishermen and nomads. To them, Adunaphel was King. She ruled much of western Near Harad as Ard the Vain, preparing for the eventual conquest of Umbar and Far Harad. All seemed well to the Lady of the West.
Tar-Ciryatan of Numenor was a proud King, however, and in S.A. 1987 he demanded that Adunaphel pay him both homage and taxes. He ordered her to remove her warriors from Umbar and to submit to Numenorean rule. This edict drove Adunaphel into a rage and she refused to abide by the harsh terms issued from Armenelos. Instead, she sent envoys to Armenelos in hope of reaching a compromise. For the next fourteen years Adunaphel and her overlord engaged in diplomatic sparring and quiet intrigue, all the while recognising Numenor’s supremacy.
Sauron of Mordor saw the dispute as an opportunity to achieve two goals: first, the defeat of a rival for Haradan favour; and secondly, a means of delaying the expansion of a much more potent potential enemy. Sauron’s minions fought a number of small wars with Adunaphel for control of Near Harad, and the Dark Lord hoped to seize the initiative in the region. More importantly, the Lord of the Rings desired a delay in Tar-Ciryatan’s planned expansion around the strategic firth of Umbar. Only Numenor rivalled Mordor for control over the realms of the Secondborn and, after Sauron’s defeat in Eriador in S.A. 1700, the Evil One required a great deal of time to rebuild his shattered strength. The Dark Lord saw in Tar-Ciryatan what he had long feared – a prideful and hungry Adan monarch bent on taking Middle-earth.
Sauron’s agents, including a pair of Adunaphel’s captains, kept him well informed about the Lady of the West. He learned of her vanity and her hatred of the Eldar and discerned her yearning for immortality, so in S.A. 2001 he approached her with the gift of a Ring of Power and the prospect of eternal life. Reviled by her own King and desirous of the gifts offered by the Dark Lord, Adunaphel accepted the Ring and fell under the sway of the Shadow. She became the seventh King(Ruling Queen) of Men to become a Nazgul.
ADUNAPHEL THE RINGWRAITH
Adunaphel remained at Vamag for nearly three hundred years after becoming a Ringwraith, and it was during this relatively brief period that she becam known amongst the Haradrim as Ard Once Vain. Her Black Numenorean subjects called her Adunaphel the Quiet. While she had once boldly displayed her beauty and strength, the fallen Numenorean lord cloaked herself behind a suit of black armour, never showing her face and never appearing during daylight hours. The woman that claimed kingship over muc of Near Harad retreated into seclusion and dealt with both friends and foes through selected minions. Mornings at Vamag no longer rang with the pleasant call from her melodious lute.
In early S.A. 2280, Adunaphel, ruling as Ard, ordered the tribes of her realm to assail Umbar(then a royal haven of Tar-Atanamir). Although she counted few Numenorean warriors in her fold, the Wraith’s army outnumbered the proud defenders. Quality prevailed, though, when Adunaphels forces fell into a trap in the narrow defile at Cirith Glingalas. The well-disciplined Dunedain broke the lightly-armed Haradrim with spear volleys and turned the ensuing melee into a rout. Adunaphel’s superior cavalry proved of little use.
The Dagor-i-Glingalas(“Battle of the Gleaming Shore”) effectively ended Adunaphel’s hope of ruling Harad. Two weeks after the fray, she abandoned Vamag and moved northward, leaving the great peninsula to her enemy. King Tar-Atanamir(r. S.A. 2029-2221) ordered Umbar strengthened and expanded, making it the greatest citadel in the region.
For the next nine hundred and eighty-one years, Adunaphel ruled the arid reaches of central Near Harad on behalf of Sauron. She established her new hold and capital at Lugarlur on the south bank of the Harnen, about four hundred miles from Mordor. The Kingdom of Ard lasted until Ar-Pharazon’s invasion(S.A. 3261) and the surrender of the Dark Lord(S.A. 3262) before the might of Numenor. With the defeat of her mentor, she retreated into the Black Land.
After the downfall of Numenor and the return of the Lord of the Rings in S.A. 3319, Adunaphel directed the campaigns waged by Sauron’s troops in Harondor and Near Harad, and she commanded the southern flank of the horde that invaded South Ithilien in 3429. Her fate however, was tied to her Evil Master’s, and she passed into the Shadows when Barad-dur was broken and Sauron was overthrown at the end of the Second Age.
THE THIRD AGE
Adunaphel returned to Endor around T.A. 1050 and entered her ruined home at Lugarlur just after the armies of Hyarmendacil I of Gondor conquered Harad. The removal of Gondorian strength from the Southland occupied the Ulair for the next five hundred and ninety years. From her base in the upper Harnen valley, Adunaphel slowly reasserted her power in Near Harad and coerced and misled the Haradrim to rebel. Her machinations were interrupted by the Corsair takeover of Umbar in T.A. 1448, but by 1634 even they unwittingly pursued her goals. In that year, Corsair raiders slew the Gondorian King(Minardil).
The Great Plague that ravaged northwest Endor in 1635-37 weakened Gondor and led to the abandonment of the Watch on Mordor. Sauron, residing in Dol Guldur in Rhovanion, sent Adunaphel and the other Nazgul(except the Witch-king in Angmar) into his ancient kingdom so that they could surreptitiously prepare the land for his return. Adunaphel, like Uvatha and Akhorahil, went to Nurn, in the south of the Black Land.
With the arrival of the Witch-king in Mordor(T.A. 1975) the Ulairi gathered for the attack on the stronghold that served as the last vestige of Gondor’s guardianship over the Black Land. The surprise assault through Cirith Ungol in T.A. 2000 and the subsequent two year besiegement of Minas Ithil ended with the taking of the fortress city that served as Ithilien’s capital and housed one of the prized Seeing-stones. Renamed Minas Morgul, the marble-shrouded town became the new home of the Ringwraiths.
In T.A. 2941, Sauron came home to the Dark Tower, leaving his threatened hold at Dol Guldur in Rhovanion. Ten years later, however, he felt that the Tower of Sorcery was once again safe. Leaving six of the Nazgul at Minas Morgul, he commanded Khamul the Easterling and Adunaphel to fly north and reopen the fortress in Mirkwood. Uvatha the the Messenger served as the link between the two Ulairi and their Lord in Mordor. Adunaphel’s return to Dol Guldur in T.A. 2951 marked her last permanent move, for she resided at the Tower of Sorcery until her demise.
In T.A 3018, the fallen Lady rode into the Anduin valley, Rohan, and then Eriador during the Black Rider’s search for the Shire and the One Ring. Her journey took her past Isengard and through Tharbad across the Stone Ford, and into the land of the Hobbits. Riding with Khamul and Hoarmurath into the Bolger enclave at Crickhollow, only to be turned to flight by the horns of the Bucklanders. Joining Uvatha on the road to the east of Bree, the group rejoined their brethren(who had assailed the company on Weathertop) in the Lone Lands beyond the Weather Hills. The Rider’s pursuit culminated at the Ford of the Bruinen, where Elven magic and the valour of Glorfindel enabled the wounded Ringbearer to escape. The skirmish by the riverside ended when the floodwaters claimed the Nazgul’s horses. Like those of her brethren, Adunaphel’s steed perished in the foam summoned by Elrond.
During the months that followed, the Quiet Wraith resumed her residence at Dol Guldur and prepared for the attacks against the Elven Kingdoms in Lorien and northern Mirkwood. Adunaphel led part of the army of Orcs that assailed Galadriel’s realm across the Anduin, but her assault proved futile. Her retreating horde fled south into the Wold, where they were destroyed by the Ents. The Nazgul went north, joining Khamul’s host and the onslaught against Thranduil’s woodland domain. Once again, the forces of Darkness lost the day, compelling Adunaphel to retire. Events at Pelennor Fields and in North Ithilien forced her recall to Mordor.
The Witch-king died before the gates of Minas Tirith, so only eight Nazgul engaged the army of the Free Peoples at the Battle of Morannon. Attacking atop Fell Beasts only ten days after Adunaphel’s return, the Ringwraiths duelled the Great Eagles above the raging battle before the Gates of Mordor. Their melee invoked images of the great skyborn warriors of the Elder Days, but the fight was short. As Frodo, Sam, and Gollum stood upon Mount Doom and threatened the destruction of the Ruling Ring, the Dark Lord sent his Nazgul into a wild flight southward, hoping that they could stay the loss of the One Ring. The Ulairi failed, and Adunaphel passed out of Ea.
That was a really interesting read. Thanks for sharing!
And Tharudan is supposed to be a master shipwright? Wouldn’t it have made sense to give him some ranks in command, so he could actually build ships then? 
Glad it was of interest, here’s another one I have typed up, if I get the time and their’s interest I can type up the remaining seven Nazgul :-).
Again, taken from Lords of Middle Earth Vol II - The Mannish races.
AKHORAHIL
Akhorahil, the second of the fallen Numenorean lords to fall under the enduring spell of Sauron’s Ruling Ring, was born at a manor overlooking the waters of Nisinen in Numenor is S.A. 1888. His father was Ciryamir, the third Friend of Tar-Ciryatan’s brother Ciryatir(making him a cousin of Murazor, the future Witch-king). An obviously brilliant young man, Akhorahil was spoiled at an early age, for his family enjoyed great wealth and reaped many of the benefits derived from Tar-Ciryatan’s aggressive overseas plundering.
Ciryamir was awarded the license to create and administer a Numenorean kingdom in Middle-earth on the very day his son reached the age of fifteen, and the next year(S.A. 1904) the family sailed east to the haven of Hyarn in southwest Endor. They landed at Midyears and journeyed up the river Aronduin to the newly-built citadel of Marath Carnadune(Q. “Tower of the Red Sunset;” S. “Barad Carannun”). There, Ciryamir founded the kingdom of Ciryatandor along the northern flank of the Ered Laranor(S. “Yellow Mountains;” Q. “Orolanari”), becoming a Client-king of Numenor.
Akhorahil loved the new land and reveled in the virtually absolute power his father wielded over the subject peoples of the area. Like most of Ciryamir’s Adan followers, he assumed himself to be superior and grew proud of his name – as if it were a title. The Friend of the Lord became rich in his own right and began to experiment with enchantments and incantations.
Unfortunately, the young man’s thirst for wealth and power spurred him to covet his father’s throne. Each year of waiting hurt more than the last. Then, in the year S.A. 1918, Akhorahil acted upon his desires. Signing a perverse pact with an aged Haradan priest, he exchanged his eyes for two great gems – the Eyes of the Well. These artefacts enabled him to cast deadly spells and to become the most powerful Sorceror in the realm. Akhorahil acquired control of his father’s mind and instilled such despair that King Ciryamir took his own life.
Physically blind, but capable of magically sensing things like a seeing man, Akhorahil ascended the throne of Ciryatandor on the first day of S.A. 1919. He proclaimed himself the Storm King and married his sister Akhoraphil within a week. Then, he levied a huge tax in order to placate the Numenorean court. Securely in control, the Blind Sorceror proceeded to arm his young kingdom and conquer the neighbouring lands along the southern edge of Far Harad: taking Chennacatt in S.A. 1929, Isra in S.A. 1933, and Kirmlesra in S.A. 1979. By S.A. 1999, his armies conquered Harshandat and claimed the western shores of the wide bay of Ormal.
The campaigns waged by Akhorahil’s captains incited the Lord of the Rings to move against Ciryatandor. A sage emissary journeyed south from Mordor, offering the Black Numenorean a wealth of knowledge regarding magic and bearing the unlikely promise of immortality. Excited, the Blind Sorceror agreed to ascribe to the Dark Lord’s secretive treaty, thereby betraying his own king Tar-Ciryatan. The pact between Ciryatandor and Mordor was sealed when Akhorahil accepted the Ring of Power from Sauron in S.A. 2000. Thus, the Storm King became the fifth Lord of Men to become a Nazgul.
AKHORAHIL THE RINGWRAITH
Akhorahil’s greed led to the quick transformation of his position in the court at Barad Carannun. Although he had always been considered bizarre, and while both his retainers and his immediate family feared him, the Storm King still interacted with his aides and household. This all changed after S.A. 2000.
Akhorahil became a virtual recluse and his wife eventually fled the kingdom with her children, taking them to the Numenorean haven at Elorna. A purge ensued, and the men closest to the Numenorean King perished alongside the courtiers that the Ring-wraith considered too bold or independent. New governors assumed control of Ciryatandor’s five provinces. Behind the scenes, Akhorahil directed the careful metamorphosis of his realm, staying wary of upsetting the Adan monarch in Numenor. Tribute continued to flow westward over the sea to Armenelos, and no open relations with Mordor occurred during the next two hundred and fifty years.
By S.A. 2250, the Storm King presided over a client kingdom that was ostensibly Dunadan but was in fact Black Numenorean. Akhorahil ruled a domain that stretched from the Great Sea(Belegaer) to the huge Bay of Ormal on behalf of the Lord of the Rings. These strategic lands straddled all routes across the Yellow Mountains and into southernmost Middle-earth. Sauron’s hopes of keeping the Men of the West out of Far Harad rested with his Wraith-servant, and preparations for the conquest of Harad the regions along the northern and east coasts of the Ormal Sea neared completion when Akhorahil declared himself independent of Numenor.
Tar-Atanamir the Great of Numenor died in S.A. 2221, the first King of Westernesse to pass without first relinquishing the sceptre. His death brought Tar-Ancalimon to the throne and fostered a renewal of the programs that Tar-Atanamir had abandoned during the infirm years preceding his demise. After reordering Numenor, the new King turned to his colonies in Endor and sought a reaffirmation of their loyalty. His special envoy to Ciryatandor arrived in the spring of S.A. 2250.
Akhorahil realised that Numenor’s desire for conquest remained unabated, and that Tar-Ancalimon planned to crush pretenders who sought to rule in his stead in the lands claimed by Numenor. The Nazgul ordered the Numenorean emissary held as a hostage and renounced his ties to his island birthplace. Ciryatandor became an official ally of the Black Land.
Tar-Ancalimon ransomed his messenger and proceeded to plan the reconquest of the territory held in thrall by the Storm King. In S.A. 2280, the same armada that reinforced Umbar brought a fleet that landed in Tulwang, only two hundred miles to the northwest of the Ring-wraith’s citadel. Akhorahil sent an army to contest the debarkment, but they arrived too late. Scouts reported the landfall and the Nazgul’s warlord ordered a retreat to the foothills of their kingdom. Unfortunately for Akhorahil’s host, the Numenorean’s force-marched and caught them in arid lowlands near the Oasis of Fult, The Men of the West crushed the Endorians, leaving Ciryatandor’s western borders virtually defenceless.
Akhorahil fled his kingdom and went north to join his master in Mordor before suffering the embarrassment of seeing his own capital razed. His flight ended the brief era of Ciryatandor’s independence and preserved the prospects for further Adan exploitation in Far Harad and the lands to the south.
Akhorahil oversaw Nurn in Mordor for the next nine hundred and eighty-one years. The slave-state served as the Black Land’s breadbasket and the Storm King exacted torment from any subject who threatened Sauron’s plans. His ruthless rule insured the supply of precious food for Sauron’s burgeoning armies. Vast herds of wild beasts fed the vast Orc hordes, while grain from the fields around Nurnen nourished the Men of Mordor.
Ar-Pharazon’s invasion in S.A. 3261 precluded the completion of Sauron’s armament, and the Evil One was forced to surrender in the face of superior Adan arms(S.A. 3262). The Evil One journeyed out of the Black Land in order to avert the destruction of his kingdom at the hands of the Numenorean invaders, enabling the Nazgul to flee into hiding. While Sauron went to Westernesse in bondage, the Ring-wraiths patiently awaited his return.
After the downfall of Numenor in S.A. 3319 and the reappearance of the Dark Lord in Middle-earth, Akhorahil returned to his castle of Luglurak on the southern shores of the Nurnen. He remained there until S.A. 3429, when he led the host of Nurn in the army that assailed Ithilien in Gondor. Although the invasion proved successful, the Last Alliance under Gil-galad and Elendil eventually crushed Mordor’s mightiest forces and laid siege to the Dark Tower. Barad-dur’s defences yielded in 3441, and both Sauron and his Nine Ring-wraiths passed into the Shadows as the Second Age ended.
THE THIRD AGE
Akhorahil took form again in Middle-earth around T.A. 1050, but for the next five hundred and ninety years he resided in the far south at Ny Chennacatt in the northern cliffs of the Yellow Mountains. Sauron called him north in T.A. 1640, and ordered the Storm-king to return to Nurn and quietly replenish the strength of the fief in anticipation of the Dark Lord’s reopening of Mordor. He joined four of his brethren and entered Gorgoroth later the same year. After slowly rebuilding the Dark Lord’s strongholds on the adjoining plateau of Nurn, the Blind Sorceror received a visit from the Witch-king in T.A. 1975.
The Lord of the Nazgul arrived in Mordor after the fall of his kingdom in Angmar earlier that year. He gathered the Ulairi and plotted the final moves required to secure their master’s home. During the next twenty-five years, they assembled their forces and laid the plans to surprise the Dunadan city of Minas Ithil.
The Fell Riders struck in T.A. 2000, startling the valiant Gondorian garrison but failing to take the city. A tow year siege ensued. Culminating with a tremendous melee before the shattered gates of the marble-walled town, the last battle claimed every remaining defender. Minas Ithil and it’s palantir fell into the hands of the Ring-wraiths in T.A. 2002, thereby ending any hold the south Kingdom retained over Mordor. From then onward, the moonlit city was called Minas Morgul.
Akhorahil stayed in Minas Morgul until the end of the Third Age. Although he frequently journeyed to both Luglurak in Nurn and Barad-dur in Gorgoroth, the Storm-king kept to the side of his captain, the Witch-king. Both fallen Numenorean Lords shared a similar past and enjoyed their special rapport. Each was a Sorceror; so it was only natural that they spent a great deal of time together. Finally, although only fifth in rank among the nine, Akhorahil became the Witch-kings most valued lieutenant.
In T.A. 3018, the Storm-king took part in the search for the Ruling Ring and eventually rode with the Witch-king to the borders of the elusive Shire in Eriador. The ultimately unsuccessful sojourn carried him through the Anduin Valley, past Isengard and the Gap of Rohan, and then through Tharbad and Andrath to the land called Suza. Akhorahil stayed close by the side of the Lord of Morgul throughout the search. He entered Bree and was one of the five Ulairi to encounter the Company on Weathertop. When the Nine rendezvoused in the Lone Lands and tried to cut off Frodo at the Ford of the Bruinen, Akhorahil and his black mount were the last to be drawn into the turbulent floodwaters summoned by Elrond.
The fight at the ford cost the Ring-wraith’s their horses but, more importantly, cost them valuable time. Forced to return to Minas Morgul, the Storm King would never again encounter the Ringbearer. The Nazgul retired and thereafter relied on their Fell Beasts for transport. Akhorahil and four other Black Riders continued the search for the One Ring from the sky, but others prepared Sauron’s warriors for the coming invasion into the Free Lands.
The Storm-king was one of the four Ulairi to take part in the epic battle of the Pelennor Fields, and there he saw his Lord perish in single combat with Eowyn of Rohan. After the ensuing defeat and retreat, Akhorahil flew to Udun and joined the other seven remaining Nazgul for the cataclysmic strike against the Army of the Free Peoples at Morannon. The Fell Riders attack out of the cloudy sky and the subsequent melee with the Great Eagles was cut short, however, for Sauron realised that his end was sealed unless the Ringwraiths could stop Frodo and Sam from casting the One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom. All the eight surviving Nazgul flew southward, but they never arrived. The Ruling Ring, and all that was tied to it, perished in the wake of its fiery unmaking. Thus, Akhorahil passed out of Ea.

DWAR OF WAW
Dendra Dwar was born in Horm on Waw, the Isle of the Dogs, in S.A. 1949. His early life proved difficult, for he was the son of a simple Wolim fisherman and he was forced to work at the age of seven. The labour hardened him for the trials to come, and kept his mind off his mother Ombril, who died during his birth.
In the year S.A. 1965, the K’prur of Hent landed on Waw and burned Horm. K’prur ships savagely stalked the Wolim fishing vessels and sank all but the few that reached safe hiding in the sea caves in the cliffs of Waw’s western coast. Young Dwar, his brother Dwem, and his father Dendra Wim escaped, but a wound cost Wim his life several weeks later. Dwar pledged to avenge the attack on his people and the murder of his beloved father.
Realising that his own people possessed neither the skill nor tha arms to defeat Hent, Dwar sailed northward to Wol, the warlike realm of the mainland Wolim tribes. There, he learned the ways of the forest and the fields, and became an able warrior. The young man served in the Wolim campaigns against the Brodan and Ts’dan peoples to the east. He rose to become a scout, working with the trained warhounds that cast fear into the lightly armed enemies of his mentors.
Dwar’s fascination with warcraft did not prevent him from seeking a more powerful means of exacting his revenge, and in S.A 1969 he entered an arcane school devoted to the ancient magical arts. Studying under the priest Embra Slil, Dwar became a Mage.
Dwar emerged as the Lord of Dogs in S.A. 1980. Surrounded by a small but capable contingent, he wrested the citadel of Alk Waw from the K’prur overseer, establishing a foothold on the remote peninsula in southeastern Waw. K’prur warriors besieged the hold, but packs of huge dogs roamed the surrounding woods and kept them at bay for over a year. Attempts to burn the forest failed, and a series of disquieting supernatural events sowed discord among the attackers. In S.A. 1982, Dwar ordered his fighters to break the siege and sent his warriors forth into battle. Operating in conjunction with nearly two thousand warhounds, they smashed the K’prur line and scattered the army that had occupied Waw for seventeen years. The island was reconquered within a month.
Unfortunately for the Wolim, Dwar established himself as the High-lord of their isle and refused to reconvene the Elder Councils. Waw became the Isle of Dogs, the domain of the Dog-king, and no one dared defy his harch edicts. Dwar tightened his control in the ensuing years, making Horm a monumental port and turning the southwestern forest into a preserve for his hounds.
In order to satiate his desire for power and vengeance, however, the Dog-king proclaimed that he was heir to all the surrounding islands and coastal realms, notably the peninsular kingdom of Hent to the north. His wrights constructed a fleet during the next year. Between S.A. 1985 and S.A. 1998, the Dod-warriors pillaged port towns and terrorised the coasts for hundreds of miles. All of the islands between Waw and the mainland – as well as the great Avar Elven isle of Cimoniemor to the south – were incorporated into Dwar’s Kingdom. The Lord of Dogs reached the height of his power and poised his minions for the assault on Hent.
Then, Dendra Dwar vanished. His soul consumed by greed and hatred, Dwar of Waw accepted the offer of immortality and took a Ring of Power from Sauron of Mordor. Although his armies conquered Hent and laid waste to its structures and populace alike, the Dog-king was nowhere to be seen. Dwar’s nephew, Dendra Swip, assumed the mantle of Lord of Dogs during the celebration of the victory his uncle had savoured most.
DWAR THE RINGWRAITH
Dwar remained in Waw, despite his apparent demise, for another two hundred and fifty two years. During this era, he manipulated the line of his heirs and ruled from the shadows while residing in the solitude of Alk Waw. The years brought unceasing wars, as the folk of the Isle of Dogs pursued continual campaigns of plunder and conquest. Peace came only after Dwar’s departure for Mordor in S.A. 2250.
From S.A. 2250 through S.A. 3262, Dwar lived at Barad-dur in the Black Land, where he bred the War-wolves of Mordor. The offspring of his labours haunted Endor for centuries to come, but the culmination of his work awaited a later day. When the Numenoreans of Ar-Pharazon captured Sauron, Dwar fled back to Waw.
The Dog-king went back to Mordor in S.A. 3320, a year after the Lord of the Rings escaped the Downfall of Numenor and returned to the Dark Tower. Dwar resumed his work, preparing for the ocoming struggle against the Dunadan successor states of Arnor and Gondor. The War of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men claimed the lives of the finest of Dwar’s foul hounds. Most perished at Dagorlad; others died in the defence of Mordor or were hunted by the Elves and Dunedain in the nearby hills. Dwar himself followed the fate of Sauron, so when Barad-dur fell and the Evil One lost the Ruling Ring, the Lord of Dogs passed with his Master into the Shadows.
THE THIRD AGE
Dwar reformed and reawakened in T.A. 1051. While briefly at the side of the Dark Lord in Dol Guldur, he flew east to Waw later the same year. There, he resided for the next five hundred and eighty nine years. Once again assuming his place as the ultimate power on Waw, the Dog-king incited his kinsmen to rebel against the extremely strong(but relatively benevolent) yoke of Lochas Drus. Settlers from the Isle of Dogs seized Cimoniemor in T.A. 1507 and Waw declared itself independent a hundred and ten years later. Ironically, Dendra Dwar II refounded the kingdom.
Sauron recalled Dwar to the West in T.A. 1640. His work done in the East, the Dog-lord went into Mordor with the other Ulairi and began to prepare the realm for the Evil One’s eventual re-emergence. Dwar remained in the Black Land, breeding horrible lines of War-dogs until T.A. 2000, when he participated in the Nazguls capture of Minas Morgul. He lodged in the captured capital of Ithilien until T.A. 2063.
The Dog-king followed Sauron eastward durin the Watchful Peace(T.A. 2063-2460). His expoits carried him across southeast Endor, where he continued his age old effort to subjugate the peoples of those rich lands. Contested by the Blue Wizards Alatar and Pallando, his success was somewhat mixed. When he departed for the West in T.A. 2941, much remained undone.
Dwar returned to Mordor when Sauron abandoned Dol Guldur and re-entered the Black Land. The Nazgul took a hold at Minas Morgul and joined the rebuilding of Barad-dur that began in T.A. 2951. When his work there ended, he returned to breeding wolves and hounds.
Dwar’s next task, like those of the other Ringwraiths, focused on recovering the Ruling Ring. He accompanied his fellow Black Riders into the Anduin Valley, through Rohan, and on into Eriador. When the group split along the roads through the lost kingdom of Cardolan, he went north with the Witch-king and four others through Andrath to Bree. Soon thereafter, Uvatha departed to join Khamul and the other Riders, but Dwar, the Witch-king, Akhorahil, Indur and Ren attacked the Company on Weathertop and succeeded in wounding Frodo. The Nazgul pursued the fleeing Ringbearer and his compatriots to the Bruinen Ford, but the enchanted floodwaters crushed their hopes. Dwar, the third to reach the river, felt the full force of the torrent and lost his dread steed.
The Dog-lord returned to Mordor and resumed the search for the One Ring during the coming months. Flying a Fell Beast, he engaged in the fruitless hunt until the eve of the attack on Gondor. Dwar then flew home to Mordor. Assigned to the main army that gathered at Udun, he missed the Battle of the Pelennor Fields that claimed the Lord of the Nazgul; however, he took part in the aerial fight above the Battle of Morannon, and the subsequent flight to intercept the Ringbearer on Mount Doom. The Lord of Dogs finally came to an end while en route to the Orodruin, for the breaking of the Ruling Ring unmade his own Ring of Power and robbed him of his only link to Ea.
Yes, thanks to the three of you. Most enjoyable.
Is that the Anders I know from several grudges?
Have Fun!
Gixxx
Most enjoyable – keep them coming !!
Looks like a Matt to me GK. Matt Anderson maybe…? Not sure I’ve tripped up over such a chap, unless he was the guy in the caravan doing 110 in the left lane on the way into the office, if so, sorry for the violent gestures…please finish the Nazgul for us in spite of my road rage… 
Yes, it is Matt Anderson, surprised I’m remembered by some of you, haven’t played grudge games for quite a while though, just in a Gunboat game at the moment.
Here’s the IK, may be able to get the CL done tomorrow.

HOARMURATH OF DIR
Hoarmurath was born in the Forest of Dir in the land of Urd in S.A. 1954. His home, one of the northernmost settled domains in all of Endor, spawned a rugged race of hunters and trappers. Hoarmurath’s band spent much of their time roaming the southern flanks of the Iron Mountains(S. “Ered Engrin;” Q. “Orongreni”) and plying the vast, icy waters of the Sea of Illuin and the Bay of Utum(Utumno). His mother, Emurath of Uab, commanded the allegiance of most of the Urd clans, and served as the Matriarch of the Urdar until her death in the Umli Wars(S.A. 1962-75). Her daughter Amurath replaced her according to the Urd matriline, permitting Hoarmurath to become the Master of the Household. As brother of the queen and uncle of her heir, he enjoyed the highest status accorded a male of the Urdar.
Hoarmurath’s close relations to the Avar Elves to the south, however, influenced his views and set him on a course of rebellion against his family and Urd traditions. The Avari taught him much about magic and power, and opened the young Animist’s eyes to the ways of the rest of Middle-earth. In time, Hoarmurath quarrelled with his sister over the course of relations with the Umli and other neighbouring peoples. He preached war, hoping to extract valuable territory from the Myri and Angcla tribes. Amurath ordered her brother exiled, but he refused to leave. A struggle followed and Hoarmurath’s zealous retainers slew his sister.
Rather than face the penalty of death on the frozen sea, the Master of the Household proclaimed himself the first King of Urd. Supported by Avar warriors and a strong faction among the more warlike bands of Urdar, Hoarmurath of Dir crushed his opposition and ordered the slaughter or banishment of the Urd Priestesses. In S.A. 1992, he became the Lord of the Urdar.
Urd war-bands struck out into the surrounding lands during the next five years and, by S.A. 1997, Hoarmurath ruled much of the great wooded territory between the Northern Seas. Avari groups retained their dominion and extended their influence with the Ice King’s aid, but the union soon gave way to bitterness. Elven immortality and wealth haunted Hoarmurath, and the Urdar turned on their allies in S.A. 1999. Two great battles followed, but both resulted in Avar victories. Desperate, the King of Urd invited help from Sauron of Mordor.
The Lord of the Rings sent Khamul to the court of the Ice King in S.A. 2000. The Easterling – still fair-seeming and glowing with the power of his own Ring – approached his future compatriot with the gift of a Ring of Power and the prospect of eternal life. Enamoured of the Evil One’s offering, Hoarmurath accepted the Ring and fell under the sway of the Shadow. He became the sixth King of Men to become and Ulair.
HOARMURATH THE RINGWRAITH
Hoarmurath’s new prize invigorated him. Two years after Khamul’s visit, the Urdar were stronger than ever, and the Ice King led his army southward. The War in the Woods(S.A. 2002-2053) ended with an Avar retreat, leaving Hoarmurath with a vast kingdom. Styling himself Lord of the North, the reclusive Urd King savoured his successes and erected a strong royal government over the course of the next two centuries.
In S.A. 2250, Hoarmurath departed a cool, forested domain punctuated with stone citadels. His long reign as Sauron’s client established a new order in northeastern Endor. Once his kingdom and successor seemed sure, the Lord of the Rings called the Ringwraith to Mordor. The need to confront the growing might of Numenor outweighed any considerations the Dark Lord reserved for the North.
For the next one thousand and eleven years, Hoarmurath resided in Mordor beside the Evil One. The Ice King frequently visited his home to reorder the kingdom he had left behind, but the majority of his tasks centred on the Black Land in the West. He oversaw the construction of the defences surrounding Udun, including the gates of Mordor(the foundations of which were strengthened with the power of the Ruling Ring), and briefly lived in the citadel that the Dunedain razed to make way for Durthang. The Nazgul fled eastward, however, following Ar-Pharazon’s invasion in S.A. 3261 and Sauron’s surrender the next year. With the Lord of the Rings imprisoned on Numenor, the Ice King returned to Urd.
After the Downfall of Numenor and the Dark Lord’s return in S.A. 3319, Hoarmurath flew back to Mordor and participated in the campaigns waged by Sauron’s troops in Rhovanion. Later, he commanded the northern flank of the horde that invaded South Ithilien in 3429, but Barad-dur’s fall twelve years later ended his early life. Hoarmurath passed into the Shadows when the Lords of the Last Alliance entered the Dark Tower and overthrew Sauron at the end of the Second Age.
THE THIRD AGE
Hoarmurath returned to Middle-earth around T.A. 1050. Entering his ancient hold in the Forest of Dir, he slowly reassumed his strength and refounded his lost kingdom. For the next five hundred and ninety years, Urd tribes and subject peoples ravaged the North. Avar warriors contested the resurrected realm’s plans, but once again felt defeat. By T.A. 1640, the Kingdom of Urd was again strong and secure.
Gondor abandoned the Watch on Mordor after the Great Plague that ravaged northwest Endor in 1635-37. The retreat gave Sauron(who then resided at Dol Guldur in Rhovanion) the opportunity to send eight of the Nazgul(those other than the Witch-king, who stayed in Angmar) into the Black Land. Hoarmurath joined the other Ulairi in Mordor, where they quietly prepared the land for the return of the Lord of the Rings. The deserted Dunadan tower of Durthang served as the Ice King’s new lair.
All of the Nine gathered upon the return of the Witch-king to Mordor in T.A. 1975. Assembling for the surprise assault on Minas Ithil in T.A. 2000, they stormed the stronghold that served as the last bastion of Gondorian guardianship. A two year siege followed, but the marble fortress city finally fell. Ithilien’s capital became Minas Morgul, the Tower of Dark Sorcery, and served thereafter as the hold of the Ringwraiths. It’s prized palantir eventually went to Barad-dur.
The Lord of the Rings left his threatened fortress at Dol Guldur in T.A. 2941 and returned to Mordor. Ten years later, his minions began rebuilding the Dark Tower, and three of his Ringwraiths flew back to Dol Guldur to reopen the citadel. Hoarmurath stayed in Minas Morgul.
In mid T.A. 3018 the Ice King accompanied the horde that attacked Gondor’s defences along the Anduin at Osgiliath. Although the forces of the South Kingdom lost the ford that joined the districts of their abandoned capital, they fended off their assailants attempts to extend the war into Anorien. The battlelines stabilised and the Nazgul turned to their search for the One Ring.
Hoarmurath rode with the other eight Black Riders up the Nan Anduin in hope of finding the Shire, they turned south, skirted Lorien, and rode through Rohan and past Isengard into Eriador. Their search took them up the Greenway to Tharbad and beyond to the crossroads in old Cardolan that served as the junction with the road to the land of the Hobbits. There, Hoarmurath, Adunaphel and Khamul split from the others and rode towards the Stone Ford. As the three headed into the Shire’s South Farthing and on to the Sackville, the Witch-king and the other Riders went directly north towards Andrath and Bree.
Hoarmurath and his companions nearly captured the Halflings as they travelled through the Green Hill Country. Khamul’s acute sense of smell almost uncovered Frodo’s hiding place below the road, but the Hobbits escaped into Woody End in Tookland. Although Hoarmurath and his companions tracked them through Buckland(where they entered the Bolger yard in Crickhollow), the three Black Riders did not see the lucky Halflings again until the challenge at the Bruinen Ford.
Hoarmurath and the other two Nazgul met Uvatha on the Great East Road beyond Bree, and joined the other five Ringwraiths in En Eredoriath(s. “The Lone Lands”). Running their prey down at the Bruinen Ford just west of Rivendell, the Ulairi – including Hoarmurath – found themselves engulfed in the magically summoned floodwaters that Elrond used to cover the Hobbit’ flight.
After the disaster at the Bruinen Ford, Hoarmurath returned to Minas Morgul, mounted a Fell Beast, and briefly resumed the search for the Ring while Sauron’s armies prepared for the assault on Minas Tirith. The attack against the Gondorian capital stalled when the Witch-king died on the Pelennor fields and Aragorn II led the Army of the Dead in a charge that broke the Mordorean horde. Hoarmurath fled homeward with the other Fell Riders that participated in the onslaught. A more climactic battle occurred less than two weeks later, as the Army of the Free Peoples assembled on the arid slag-plain before Morannon. There, the eight Nazgul briefly engaged the Great Eagles above the chaotic conflagration but, at the height of the duel, Hoarmurath and others turned away to follow the Dark Lord’s orders. Flying to stop Frodo and Sam from destroying the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom, the Ringwraiths broke off the attack. Their Lord’s fears proved true, though, and their desperate journey ended before they reached their goal. With the Ruling Ring’s destruction, Hoarmurath and his brethren passed out of Ea.
Here’s the CL.

INDUR DAWNDEATH (JI AMAAV)
Indur Dawndeath was born Ji Indur in the city of Korlan in the year S.A. 1955. Heir to the fortune of the wealthiest oligarchic family in the Kiran republic of Koronande, he was the youngest man ever elected governor in any of the realm’s six districts. He later became a powerful representative to Koronande’s twelve member assembly. There, he lobbied for the creation of a central government which could contest the growing might of Numenor, for the young merchant lord feared the loss of his precious commercial interests in the region around the bay of Usakan. The Numenorean colony of Tanturak(founded cc. S.A. 1300 as Lond Hallacar) grew rapidly during the reign of Tar-Ciryatan, and ships once bound for Korlan began docking in the Adan port of Sarul. More importantly, though, warships started frequenting the bay and Ji Indur perceived a threat to his people’s independence.
Indur slowly accumulated support among the wealthy merchants and warriors of Koronande, as well as among many of the Elves of nearby Tauronde. Elven sentiments varied like those of the Kirani, but the majority feared that the growing Numenorean prejudice against the Eldar would eventually lead to war. With the support of key figures among his own people, and the tacit approval of the Kirani’s Firstborn allies, the young representative seized control of the assembly in S.A. 1977. Koronande became a kingdom the following year when the advisory council oligarchs that replaced the republican assembly elected him King of Korlan. Hundreds of freedom loving Kirani resisted the change, and civil rebellion racked the realm for the next twenty three years.
The arrival of the “Magician” in Tanturak in S.A. 2000 polarised support for Ji Indur and appeared to doom the rebel cause. Relations between the Adan colony and the Kirani reached the edge of war and, out of fear, the people of Koronande sought unity. Confident, the young monarch called for a great public celebration. His plan to gather popular support for an unpopular war and an illegal regime failed, though, when Korlan’s governor Loran Klien stood at the rostrum above the crowd and offered a return to republican rule. The Kirani spontaneously applauded the age old solution and rioting ensued. The self styled King of Koronande fled east to Mumakan.
Sauron’s agents had resided in the home of the Mumakil(Oliphaunts) since the mid eighteenth century, S.A., and Ji Indur’s cordial relations with the Dark Lord’s minions enabled him to find a refuge after his overthrow. The tall Kiran provided the Lord of the Rings an opportunity to further his sordid goals in the Far South, while Sauron offered the exiled King a new throne. This heinous act doomed the Mumakani. The Evil One gave Indur a Ring of Power in S.A. 2001, and later the same year the Ringwraith captured the throne of Mumakan on behalf of his evil mentor.
INDUR THE RINGWRAITH
Ji Indur was crowned Ji Amaav II of Mumakan. His people believed his arrival to be the second coming of the legendary first King – the God-lord Amaav – and the Nazgul had little trouble seizing control of the troubled nation. Ruling from the holy city of Amaru, Indur united the semi nomadic tribes and laid plans for further conquest. His reign lasted 1261 years, during which the Mumakani became a corrupt people that subjugated Gan, eastern Dushera, and most of the great southern archipelago.
Mumakan’s expansion to the west proved unsuccessful in the face of opposition from the Ardan Council and the inherent strength of the Elves, Numenorean, and Kirani that dominated the region. This situation led to the Ringwraith’s pact with the Magician of Tanturak in S.A. 3000. With Mumakani support, Tanturak threw off the yoke of Numenorean rule and declared itself and independent kingdom. Ar-Zimrathon of Numenor failed to crush the rebellion, so the sundering succeeded. A few months later, Tanturak and Koronande abdicated the treaty of peace, leaving the Kirani surrounded by hostile neighbours. The coming years proved dark, as the Kiran republic became a disarmed and exploited land. Only the uncertain jealousies lingering between Tanturak and Mumakan prevented its outright conquest.
Ar-Pharazon, the Golden king of Numenor, terminated Indur’s reign and ended the independence of Tanturak in S.A. 3262. His invasion of Endor brought most of Westernesse’s former holdings in Middle-earth back into the Adan fold and culminated in the capture of the Lord of the Rings. Mumakan became a Numenorean subject state, its empire shattered. Ji Indur retreated into the East.
Numenor perished in the Downfall of S.A. 3319, enabling the Evil One to escape home. The Nazgul went to Mordor upon Sauron’s return to Endor. For the remaining 121 years of the second age, Indur engaged in the struggle against the Last Alliance of Elves and Men but, like Sauron and the other Ulairi, the Shadow of the South passed into the shadows outside of Arda.
THE THIRD AGE
Indur returned to Middle-earth around T.A. 1050 and spent the next two centuries regaining his strength on the isle of E-Sorul Sare. His influence in Mumakan grew slowly, but by T.A.1250 his servants successfully manoeuvred the disarrayed tribes into a coalition commanded by his lieutenants. The loose union once again stirred the warlike Mumak-riders into an aggressive policy of expansion.
In T.A. 1264 Sauron ordered Indur to fly to the Citadel of Ardor and seek an “alliance” with the Elven Ardan Council, but the age old rivalry for control of the Far South persisted. Stalled by the evil group in Ardinaak, the Ringwraith considered the meeting an affront and counselled the Dark Lord to avenge the rebuke. Sauron preferred to wait, however, for without the Ruling Ring the Evil One regained his strength very slowly. Indur’s rivals received an uneasy peace that never sat well with the Ulair.
Under the “Magician’s” sway, Tanturak declared war on Koronande in T.A. 1365. The conflict raged for seven years, and the Kirani appeared to be on the edge of collapsing when the nations signed a treaty in T.A. 1372. Indur’s intervention saved the Kiran kingdom from defeat, but it began an era of Mumakani influence. This period was marked by the spate of ritualistic nocturnal assassinations that gave birth to Indur’s association with murder. Time after time, his enemies perished in their sleep, to be found at dawn – brutally executed.
Indur ruled Mumakan as Ji Amaav III from T.A. 1264 through 1640 and as Ji Amaav IV between T.A. 2460 and 2941. During the rest of the Third Age, he stayed in Mordor(1640-2000) or at Minas Morgul(2000-2460 and 2941-3019). He travelled with the Witch-king in search of the One Ring in T.A. 3018, encountering the Company on Weathertop and losing his mount at the confrontation at the Bruinen Ford. Later, he oversaw the preparations for the Mumakil assault during the ill fated campaign against Minas Tirith. His end came after the skirmish with the Great Eagles over the Battle of Morannon, for as Indur and the other Fell Riders flew to intercept the Hobbits at Mount Doom, they became engulfed in the destruction resulting from unmaking of the One Ring. Thus, the Shadow of the South disappeared from Ea.
Yep,
looks like haven’t noticed this “Matt” so many more words folllowed!
Thanks and have Fun!
