Carn Dûm

Description
Stronghold of the Witch-king of Angmar. Carn Dum was located at the far northern end of the Misty Mountains. The Lord of the Nazgul established the realm of Angmar in the north around 1300 and he became known as the Witch-king of Angmar. Carn Dum was his main stronghold, and he dwelled there with many of his evil minions. In 1974, the Witch-king led an attack from Carn Dum against the Dunedain, and he captured their capital of Fornost. The Witch-king was defeated at the Battle of Fornost in 1975 and he fled from the north, abandoning Carn Dum.
