Wight of Rhudaur
“Get out, you old Wight! Vanish in the sunlight! Shrivel like the cold mist, like the winds go wailing, Out into the barren lands far beyond the mountains! Come never here again! Leave your barrow empty! Lost and forgotten be, darker than the darkness, Where gates stand for ever shut, till the world is mended.” […]
White Warg and Wolf of Angmar
About 100 years before the timeframe of our game, Middle-earth was struck by a terrifying cold season known as the Fell Winter. Appendix B’s “Tale of Years” tells us that even the Brandywine froze and that “White Wolves invade Eriador from the North”. It is in these wastes that our heroes encounter the White Warg […]
Arador’s Bane
“Arador was the grandfather of the King.” So begins “The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen” in Appendix A, where we learn of the untimely death of Strider’s grandfather while he was a captive of “hill-trolls in the Coldfells north of Rivendell”. Like all of the other Dúnedain Chieftains, Arador’s name begins with the Sindarin prefix […]

The Dúnedain: From Elros to Aragorn
The chart below is something I created as a companion piece for my feature article on the history of The Lost Realm. The numbers in the flags before certain names indicate which king the character was in order of ruling their kingdom. It is mind-boggling to think that Aragorn was descended over 6000 years from […]
Anticipating Angmar Awakened: The History
The Lost Realm is ‘on the boat’! Let us hope that the boat carrying our cards is not doomed like the one that bore the last King of the lost realm during his final retreat from Angmar! No, assuming safe passage through the Ice Bay of Forochel, we should be mere weeks away from exploring […]
Anticipating Angmar Awakened: The Heroes
With the release of The Road Darkens and the conclusion of The Ring-maker cycle, 2014 ended with a feeding frenzy of new content. Now, as players are getting caught up on new scenarios and deck-building possibilities, FFG has begun whetting our appetite for the next expansions. The saga continues with the first half of The […]
