'The early years of the Third Age saw the deaths of Isildur and his eldest sons, but his line was not ended, for his youngest son was kept safely here in Rivendell. He was raised far from danger and came to rule the North Kingdom. His descendents would not know peace, for the Nazgûl were to reappear, and their chief would wage war upon the Men of the West.

'In the year Nineteen Seventy-four of the Third Age, the armies of the Witch-king seized Fornost. The North Kingdom was no more, and its ruler Arvedui fled northward, to Forochel. But there he was lost, along with the heirlooms of his house.

'Some of the Dúnedain journeyed into the icy wastes to recover them. Do you wish to hear of their quest?'
