The time of Men is not so long, and the time of Rhudaur before its fall to corruption and alliance with Angmar was shorter still. Heroes, warriors, sacrifices, thieves, villains, and many others were buried in the barrows near the Red-maid's spring. Here, the Gaunt-lord Ivar has chosen to begin raising his army.
Wights patrol the befouled land in an endless journey through the mire. They wait until they will be called on by their dread lord, Ivar, to make war upon the living and began their campaign of corruption through the land. It need not be this way. Armed as you are, you can aid the Free Peoples of the world by ridding the land of these foul creatures.
