Angmar

Angmar is a biome far up in the north of the Misty Mountains. It is known to most people as "The Realm of The Witch-King" or The Lord of the Nazgûl. It is a realm that is one of the oldest on the Dominion Server. Many times Angmar has been known to be empty of members loyal to the Iron Crown. It's most known member being a part of Angmar, is Calbeius, The Founder of the Realm. The Faction itself is mostly known for fighting The High Elves, and have failed in attempts to take the divine lands of Lindon. Its recent and current ruler is now Calbeius.

The Beginning​ of the Known History of Angmar
The beginning of Angmar’s history first involves The Lord of the Nazgûl claiming kingship over the north and unifying the realm with the symbol of The Iron Crown. The Realm of The Witch-King is known for creating war with the Northern Kingdom of Dunedain, Arnor. The Witch-Kingdom lasted for several centuries. Once Angmar gained total dominion over Arnor, it gained the attention of Gondor and the Elves. Angmar was soon vanquished by Arnor's brother and allies. This left what everyone believed to be the last known actions of Angmar, due to Glorfindel's prophecy.

About four hundred years after the Fortress of Carn Dûm was vanquished, along with the Kingdom of Angmar, an area west of the Foundations of Carn Dûm began to repopulate with Orcs and Men once again. It wasn’t a strong population but it was a decent population strong enough to get things moving. Several Hillmen from the bloodlines of Rhudaur took control of operations in the areas of this western place, which shall be known as Angsûl. They had wished to rebuild Carn Dûm and put the Realm of Angmar back into power. However, they needed a place of operations in order they put chief power back. The Chieftain of these folk in Angsûl was known as Kane Blûdark.

Kane bent most of his mind around constructing the Fortress of Angsûl. He had Orcs and Men sent mining and masons make bricks to recreate the fortress. After a couple months had passed in the Cold Realm, the Fortress was reconstructed. They stayed for a while turning Angsûl into a powerhouse. Around this time was when an Orc Chieftain made his travels to Angsûl. He had gone by the name of Urukgoth.

Urukgoth provided his services to Kane in transforming Angsûl into the strongest fortress in the realm. Kane and several of his commanders accepted him being of one of their ranks. However not too long later after his acceptance, Kane and his commanders took their matters south to gain riches to improve their state. Urukgoth was made commander for now while they disappeared. After a couple weeks they had never returned. They might have found several other things to do while claiming riches. Urukgoth had believed that the Hill-men were slain through their journey and decided to take total charge of Angsûl. Once they had gained enough resources, Urukgoth ordered the reconstruction of Carn Dûm upon its foundations. This action soon gave him the title of The Iron Commander of Angmar, making him the Realm’s leader.

''' During the construction of Carn Dûm, The Iron Realm began to repopulate over all. Various Hill-Tribes migrated North into the region along with hoards of Orcs coming from the Misty Mountains and all around the North. However with this large migration action, not many noticed them. Not many cared for what happened up north in Angmar as it was destroyed long ago, or so they thought. These evils soon grew to having the hopes of recreated the once so great Witch-Realm of Angmar.

  The Iron Commander continued to reconstruct over the Foundations of Carn Dûm. Activity was extremely high during this time. So many constructions were being created to make things easier for the builders of Carn Dûm. They created large cranes to move brick up the hill faster. Eventually came along a band of Rangers making searches for Orcs up north. They found the tracks of hundreds of Orcs traveling to what either seemed to Mount Gram. However when they found the tracks going further north, that’s when they got the idea that they made their way into Angmar, and most likely further north. The Rangers followed the tracks up to Carn Dûm. That was when they realized all the activity happening up North. Word eventually spread across the North, and soon to The Elves of Imladris and Lindon.

  Word came to The Elf King of the Islands, Glorfindel. He had believed that it had already spread to Cirdan of Lindon, but he did not know for sure. Glorfindel came into contact with the rest of the Islands. These were not Islands of Aman, but several that were miles away from Lindon that were colonized by Glorfindel. Once he heard word of the action in Angmar, he ordered meetings with his Elvish Lords to decide their action on Angmar’s possible return.

  During these times, The High Elves were split up. Cirdan was the ruler of the Elvish Land of Lindon, the last piece of Beleriand. Glorfindel was the Elf King of the Islands, and Elrond was of Imladris farther east from Lindon, hundreds of miles to pass. These elves would only unite if they knew that true danger was on the lines. There was one meeting between all the the Elf Lords in Middle Earth, but they did not see Angmar as a possible threat. They did not feel the presence of The Witch-King stirring up this action in Angmar. They had gained word that it was all being led by an Orc, similar to Gundabad’s structure. This led them to believe that Angmar wouldn’t be able to do true harm unless it was under the Lord of the Nazgûl. This concluded the meeting and actions of the Elves. Glorfindel, being a part of The War of Angmar, did not trust what was stirring in the Witch-Realm. That was when Glorfindel declared war upon the realm, and it was to make sure Angmar was completely lifeless once again.

  The boats had sailed from the Islands to the Grey Havens. Cirdan allowed for Glorfindel’s armies to make march through Lindon. The march took several days to travel all the way across from Lindon to the Northern Realm of Orc. Due to the distance they decided to establish War Camps to hold the forces of the High Elves. Once almost two seasons had past, they had made it back into the North to establish the War Camps. War was coming, and they wished to destroy Angmar when it was at its weakest. It was far too late for that obviously. Before the Elves of the Islands took any form of action against Angmar, they made sure their war camps were ready for whatever kind of attack. They had kept themselves their under no movement for a while until they gained multiple supplies from Imladris and the Eastern Elvish Kingdoms. Glorfindel was with his armies closest to Carn Dûm, and his brother Finrod was establishing his own war camp down in the Nan-Angmar as a back up. Glorfindel and his people were ready to make their attack upon the ever constructing fortress of Carn Dûm.

  Glorfindel wanted a quick attack, to catch the Orcs and Men off guard so then they would be able to slaughter every living thing that was inside the place. Their horses were charging faster than ever, literally showing the meaning of haste. However, the Iron Commander could see their banners riding up to their Fortress. Urukgoth blew his horn and called everyone within the fortress. During the periods of travel and preparation, the Fortresses exterior was finished and was able to undergo sieges. The walls to Carn Dûm were still being constructed however, allowing the Elves to charge right into the valley.

  The Elves fired storms of arrows from the bottom of the hill holding the Fortress. However most of the archers Urukgoth held were not firing arrows towards the Elves, as they could not see them. Urukgoth ordered them to take cover until the Elves marched up their bridge to break in. They waited for the Elves to march up, and they eventually did. Arrows were soon raining down upon the Elves coming from Carn Dûm. This made a drastic turn for Angmar, as it seemed Glorfindel was not calling his elves back to hold cover. Once Urukgoth saw the numbers of the Elves decreasing, he gathered up his soldiers and a wave a Wargs to charge at the right moment. Urukgoth soon blew his horn as the gate opened, and the Wargs sent ravaging attacks against the remaining Elves. Glorfindel called for a retreat as they were being chased down by the Wargs. However, the remaining Elves shot down the hungry Wargs during their retreat, which Urukgoth soon called back in the fortress.

  This was a victory for Angmar, however Urukgoth knew they would not be able to withstand another siege, as their troops were hardly trained. Urukgoth soon took a daring move to secure the future of Carn Dûm, and his forces to run down the Elves from their war camp so Carn Dûm could continue in peace. The Iron Commander led the march to the Elves in hopes to rush them while they are not prepared. However once they arrived, it seemed their were Trolls already trying to tear down the war camp. Urukgoth sent a charge upon their main gate, but once they got in the Elves were already riding down south to their extra war camp.

  The Iron Commander now spent most of his time preparing troops to extinguish this final known war camp. They had already torn down the first one seeing the Elves did not take all of their supplies. Carn Dûm was said to be multitasking on creation and war. The Elves were sending messengers to Imladris to send more materials for their war efforts, however they never got back as it seems the Orcs of Angmar got their first.

  Before Urukgoth traveled to Carn Dûm in the first place, he was the chieftain of the Malenhad region, keeping the place occupied with Orcs from the Misties. Once the Forces of Carn Dûm met up with Malenhad, they began a unified march against the final known war camp against the Elves. This however would be different compared to The Battle of Carn Dûm, as their were many more Elves here, who were already prepared for something like this.

  Urukgoth had a secret weapon he had been waiting to use for this battle. He had mustered a band of Trolls coming from the Northern Mountains of Angmar, known as Hill-Trolls. They were much bigger than regular Trolls, and could manage to carry huge stones and throw them across. However, their aim was not the best. Before he sent his Infantry the Trolls fired stones at the walls and within them. This broke the lines inside waiting for Orcs to charge against their enemy. However, this move made by the Iron Commander directed the Elves fire upon the Trolls. Soon enough, the wall to the war camp crumbled before a certain stone, and that was when Urukgoth’s horn was blown. Their army charged with fury in their eyes. The Elves knew they would be overrun if they stayed and fought, so they quickly gathered their steeds and made their way out before the Orcs flooded the open spot in the wall. Wargs were already attempting to catch them in their teeth, but Urukgoth did not want to tire the Wargs against the Elves hasteful steeds. He called them back, waiting for the Elves to travel out of the Nan-Angmar, and probably to the nearest location of Elves, like Imladris. Victory was given to Angmar for now, as the Northern Realm of Angmar was now empty of the Elves.

After the Victory in the region of Malenhad, Urukgoth returned to Carn Dûm to continue its recreation. However, he needed to finish the fortress before the Elves returned, which they never did and instead decided to wait for Angmar to retaliate. After a couple of months passed, the City and Fortress of Carn Dûm was finished. It had gained a great population worthy enough to battle with the Elves of the Islands once again. The Iron Commander put several other Orc Chieftains in charge of the other districts within The Witch-Kingdom. This established the various old cities far across the Nan-Angmar, and they began preparing their forces under the command of the Iron Commander. As Angmar prepared, they began creating a docks north of them, so then they would be able to sail to the Elvish Lands and bring destruction.
