The coastal cities burn, assaulted by the Corsairs of Umbar, and the Anduin has been claimed for the Dark Lord, allowing his armies to sail towards Minas Tirith. The forces of Darkness have re-conquered the ruined city of Osgiliath, and Minas Tirith seems to stand alone against the threat of Mordor. Yet Gondor has known hardship before, and still stands proud and unwavering in its defiance of Evil, THE FOUNDING OF GONDOR AND ARNOR Ancient history ells the story ofthe drowning of Westernesse and ‘the exiles that managed to escape, washing up on the shores of Middle-earth before they eould suffer the same fate as theit kin, Determined to forge a new fatuse for his people, it was the High King Elendil that led the noble men of the west forth, founding the twin kingdoms of Armor in the north and Gondor in the south in the image of hs los ancestral home, For many years, Blendils kingdoms prospered, for the Nimenor were long-lived and stronger than the othe Men that already dvvelt in Middle-earth. As the kingdom of dil grew, so t00 did its power, and before long the kingdoms of Amor and Gondor covered vast areas of the western lands of Middle-earth. In pride it was claimed that there was no arzay that could prevail against the might of Gondor and Amor, yet the ever-growing darkness in the east would seek to leave such bold THE FIRST WAR OF THE RING Concealed within the land of Mordor, Sauron, ever the enemy of the Men of Nimenor, had been amassing his forces, Without warning, the Dark Lord unleashed his fll might upon an unteady Gondor, routing her armies and bringing ruin to many of her cities. Such an assaull was devastating, and Elendil become aware that even the combined might of fend off the armies of Mordor unaided jondor and Amor could not 1 was in these datk times that Blend consulted with his ally Gilgalad, the High King of the Hlves, and together they lorged, the last alliance of Men and Elves; the sole purpose of which was to fight back against the forces of datkness, Together, the armies of Men and Elves marched on the land of Mordor, and During this battle, the Dark Lord Sauron, through murderous power and terrible sorcery, slew both Gikgalad and Elendil, leaving both Men and Elves eadevless, It was in this momen when all hope seemed lost that Isildur, som of lend, took wp the shards of Nail, hie father’s sword, and ent the Ring of Power fiom the Dark Lord's hand, bringing about Saurom’s defeat. With the battle won, Isildur found himself in possession of the Ring of Power, and had one chance to end the evil of Sauron forever: However, lildur, ensnared by the Ring's allure, refused to cast the Ring into the fires of Mount Doom, and instead kept it for himself, With thie act of selishness, the power of the Dark Lord, was permitted to endure for millennia,CONSTANT WAR Even with the Datk Lord defeated, the kingdoms of Amor and. Gondor could not find peace. Within but a few years of hie victory ‘upon the slopes of Orodruin, Isildur was slain on the Gladden Fields and the Ring was lost, Peace ever remained out of reach for Gondor and Amor, and clashes with Oves, Basterlings and other Evil Men were commonplace [As the years of the Third Age continued, Gondor became embroiled in greater conflicts. Wass were waged and won against ‘the Easterlings and the Haradrim, yet the tragedy was that even in victory, the kingdom of Gondor shrank in size, its lands lost to sain or the attrition of endless strife. Many great cities fll, and the realm’s glory became but a shadow of what it had enjoyed in the times of Elendil Gondor only watched as the kingdom of Amor crumbled, falling to disease, famine and constant war against the forces of the Witcheking of Angmar. As it collapsed, the once-great domain of Elendil had been reduced to but a single kingdom, and even that ‘was under threat. Osgiliath, the former capital of Gondor, could not escape, and it too was overtin and atined by hordes of Ores, Upon thie terrible los, the city of Minas Anor became Gondar's new seat of power. HE LINE OF KINGS I$ BROKEN Gondor's fortunes did not improve, and soon the fortes city of ‘Minas Ithil fell into the hands of the Nazgal, becoming a dread, place of evil and malice, and was henceforth known as Minas “Morgul. With the fall of Minas lhl, the capital of Minas Anor ‘was renamed as Minas Tivith ~ the Tower ofthe Guard. As the lands of Gondor receded, the royal lie faltered; becoming distant and detached, caring mote forthe legacy of ts bloodline th ruling over its people. After Earmur, the last King of Gondor, rode ‘off to war, never tobe seen again, the rule of Gondor fell to the stewards; noble and just men, but nonetheless lesser than the kings ‘who had nuled before, THE TIME OF THE STEWARDS ‘Though the stewards ruled inthe stead of the kings of Gondor, they did not claim the throne for themselves. Instead, they would take up the rule of the kingdom until such a time that their hopes ‘would be realised and an heir of Fld would claim the throne. Under the nule ofthe stewards, the kingdom of Gondor remained plagued by war, her borders constantly assailed by the armies of darkness. In these times of hardship, Gondor’s lst of allies grew thin; Armor had been laid to ruin, the Elves were no longer a power tobe relied upon, andl the Dwarves cared litle for whatever happened outside theit own borders Yet the kingdom of Gondor did not stand entirely alone ~ new alliances were forged in times of war. During the rule of the Steward Gition, a band of northern men provided aid to Gondor against invaders from the east, and so were rewarded with the land that would become known as Roba, A LIGHT FROM THE SHADOWS In secret, in the lands of the north, the blood of Niimenor endures ‘within the veins of the Diinedain, Though tunbeknownst to those {in Gondor, an heir of Elendlil emains stil, and as the Third Age draws to a crescendo, the rightlal heir to the throne of Gondor ‘will come to her aid. But until that time atises, the realm of Gondor must continue to await the return ofthe king,ScenariosDEFENCE OF OSGILIATH 1 the years since his last defeat, the Dark Lord has remained hidden away in the land of shadow, preparing io assail Middle-earth once more in search for the Ring of Power. As his strength grows, s0 too do his armies; legions of Ores and other foul creatures are drawn to him, and behind the Black Gate of Mordor, the forces of the Dark Lord gather in numbers beyond count. As the War ofthe Ring begins, Sauron’ forces attack the runs of Oxiliath in the eastern parts of Gondor; the former capital being the frst to fel the Dark Lord's wrath Ac the garrison camps within the ruins of the city, an army of Mordor Orcs marches tcwards them, intent on capturing it and stripping ateay Minas Tirth’ last line of defence. Amidst the fllen sone and crumbled building, the howls of the Ores can be heard, sigualling the beginning oftheir assault upon the city and the commencement of Sauron’ fullscale invasion of Midalecarth.
