Chapter 1 : The Stewards of Minas Tirith
It was
by a sunny and clear morning
. thatThe guard
s were standing still
at the very atop
of the famous wall of Minas Tirith. The Otram was a
long big magnificent wall that
proudly encircled and protected the city. It saved its inhabitants more than once in tragic situations
, but these were contagious times of laziness where men and women, princes and leaders, farmers and merchants were
n't not motivated to do their usual tasks
. This it resulted in a
n awkward festering stagnation throughout the kingdom. The guard did
n't not feel pride when he was appointed as a ''Watchman of the Wall''; he simply accepted the task for the higher salary.
he would get That title means great responsibility and in the times of
the great kings, such duty was accomplished with pride and dignity, discipline and honour.
After the victory of ''The Last Alliance''
and the defeat of
the Mordor
's armies, the once terror became a
past forgotten memory. But at what cost? The King of Gondor was assassinated and his son fled the kingdom and was soon forgotten. A line of noblemen, called the Stewards of Gondor, took control of the kingdom. To avoid usurpation of the throne, they all swor
e, as written in the documents of succession, that when the king of Gondor returns, they shall renounce the throne and bow to the new king. The Stewards were not evil men, but when they became the lords of Gondor, they were
n't not able to bring prosperous times to the land and the kingdom slowly stagnated.
The current Steward of Gondor, Echtelion the first, an old man dressed in a luxurious dress made of the rarest materials, was a man of honour and pride rather than a strategic and tactical commander. He preferred to oversee the kingdom rather than leading an army during battle. His son Denethor the second was the current captain and commander of the Gondorian armies. But the band of carelessly trained men he commanded was a fraction of the once powerful Gondorian army that defeated the Mordor host at the ''Battle of the Last Alliance''. Denethor was a man of adventure
, and he enjoyed his task even though
t he did
n't not had have the chance to prove himself in battle
. if it wasn't for The some small skirmishes
with bandits on the western border of the kingdom
which were easily won
and proved no challenge for Denethor.
Chapter 2 : Dark Lord re-awakening
However, something uncommon happened during Echtelion's rule, that will shake the very tranquility of Gondor: the forgotten orc forces of Mordor lurked out of their dark lairs once again eager for vengeance and domination of Middle Earth...
The orcs reconstructed their Dark Lord's fortress of Barad-dur and set foot on the Black Gate of Mordor and the Tower of Minas Ithil
, who is now named Minas Morgul
also known as or the tower of sorcery. It is said
a dark sorcerer named that the Witch-King now made it his home and expands his dark influence throughout the land. With the Dark Lord Sauron physically slain and his mind looking over Middle-Earth from atop Barad-dur, the Witch-
King now leads the newly raised and organised armies of Mordor into war.
Armies of Mordor are now attacking the lands East of the Great River Anduin. Hundreds of orcs now roam the lands called Ithilien. However, they encounter there some resistance...
A semi-fictional story.
