Description
History
Settlements
The North Downs were once The Heartlands of the Kingdom of Arthedain, one of three domains of Arnor. After the division of Arnor the Capital of Arthedain was moved from Annuminas to Fornost. These once prosperous lands lie under a shadow, ever since Fornost fell to the forces of Angmar, throughout the Fields of Fornost you will find the shades of oathbreakers haunting the battlefield where in ancient days they betrayed their king to serve the Witch King of Angmar. Rangers strive to tame these lands, but there are many strongholds of orcs, and angmarim that continue to pour forth from the North.
