Gundabad

Gundabad in the LOTR Mod is known as the entire race of scattered Orcs of Gundabad. But in LOTR Lore, it is actually the name of a Mountain in the Northern Misty Mountains which became a Dwarven stronghold when Durin, the Father of Dwarves, awoke. Although in the Second Age, after the Dwarves migrated south to Khazad- Dum, orcs seized the mountain and established a strong orcish faction around it. During the Third Age, the mountain has become one of the main strongholds which fuels the The Orcs of Gundabad. Currently, the Gundabad orcs are leaderless, and the Misty Mts. are owned by the Dwarves of Durin's Folk.

History
In the early days of the server, when not even Durin's folk itself was claimed, three new players joined the server: maurizio_blaze (Mr___Niceguy), kevinkaanen (Mr_Killer_Clown) and ItsJelmer. These players searched for a faction, and eventually joined Gundabad. Gundabad was, at that time, one of the weakest factions, wit virtually no players. The players on that time didn't mind those "new players" near the west gate of Moria. But in secret it was the Gundabad base as we know today.

Moria was too big and in a month Azog_II (maurizio_blaze) and Baldorg (ItsJelmer) lost their patience waiting for Mr___Niceguy and started building on Mount Gundabad. So for the first time Gundabad claimed by it's warchief maurizio_blaze. But after several wars they fought on side of the feared Uruk-Hai under command of Ugluk (Garothmuk) (these wars are not notated). They got inactive and they all chosen their own path. Still 4 of those players play on our server: mr_pepe, Mr___Niceguy, ItsJelmer and Mr_Killer_Clown.

After a long time with alot of new rulers I cant write any histories of, Hoknath joined the server, at this time Gundabad was unclaimed and leaderless, so Hoknath decided to build a new city. He brought some supporters, for example SimonBaum, Sofa_Kartoffel and''' Burning_Revenge. '''At this time the server had an extremely small amount of evil members so the good factions thirsted for blood. They attacked them many times, so great was their pvp deprivation their kings could not hold them back. The orcs of gundabad became enraged, so they fought back. After many costly battles their kings were able to regain control, and the orcs were able to go on with their projects. Now at this time Arvasil (Theoden) left adminship so there were only 3 admins left. All of them very busy. They finally gained Thecoconutknight's approval, Kjell was very busy and pee said he wants something like Goblin Town, so they decided to build another city in the south. It worked well but in the end only Dagon (pee) approved Kjell and Coco declared it too simillar to Goblin Town. After that Hoknath and his people lost motivation. Hoknath however did not want to start over for a third time. So he asked Durburtz_ if he could ask b3ngaan if he would allow him to claim with Goblin Town, after a couple of days finnaly success, he allowed him to claim and Hoknath became King.

Hoknath was banned, thus making the war with Gondor end in neither a loss, nor a win. Shortly afterwards, however, the old warlord Boldog (Brochte) claimed with 14 people, and immediately attacked the Woodland Realm. Gundabad began the war with a resounding victory over the Wood-Elves. However, Brotche's legions fell apart due to desertion and lack of will power. Most of Brotche's members left for the East, leaving Brotche in a fragile and perilous position having to fight Durin's Folk and the Woodland Realm with a handful of men. Brotche eventually also abandoned ship and made for Rhun, where his factions members had setup clans and tribes. Gundabad was unclaimed and their capital biome, The Misty Mountains was ceded to Durin's Folk in the peace settlement between the Woodland Realm and Gundabad.
