SETTING
It is the Fourth Age.
Although Elrond’s twin sons remain in Rivendell, most elves and surviving heroes of the War of the Ring left Middle Earth and sailed to the Undying Lands.
All the surviving Orcs and Uruk-Hai find refuge in the depths of Moria, where they degenerate in size and stature over the centuries; Orcs now range in height from 3 to 5 feet tall, while Uruk-Hai stand 5 to 6 feet tall. Trolls and Olog-Hai join the Orcs and Uruk-hai in Moria, forming a “nation” of sorts. All dwarven efforts to reclaim Moria fail miserably.
A new dwarven nation founded by Gimli, Son of Gloin, in the underground tunnels underneath Helm’s Deep, finds its own population dwindling from the usual low dwarven birth rate and the alarmingly high death rate – mostly from the casualties brought about by the many attempts to take Moria from the Orcs and Trolls.
Of the original five Wizards, only three remain after Saruman’s death and Gandalf’s departure: Radagast the Brown and the Blue Wizards Alatar and Palando.
All Haradrim unite and declare open war against the Easterling nations. At the same time, the Haradrim also cut off diplomatic communications with Gondor, and a massive Corsair fleet brazenly conducts war training maneuvers along the nearby coasts. Dunedain Rangers report an enormous build-up of Haradrim forces supported by Mumakil heavy cavalry units along the Ithilien border.
The Easterlings blame Gondor and Rohan for failing to come to their aid against the Haradrim incursions. Easterlings finally cut off all diplomatic relations with the West after the last round of Haradrim invasions lay waste to the southernmost Easterling territories. Easterlings unite under one flag against the Haradrim.
The last heir of Aragorn died. Minas Tirith is in political chaos as the most influential families vie for power and control.
