For a time, Cardolan stood at the forefront of resistance to the forces of the Witch-king, mounting campaigns against his Orcs, Trolls, and Easterlings. Those were the days of the Royal Army. Now only mercenaries and adventurers remain to block the advance of Darkness. The conflict rages on, but it is a war of pillaging, burning crops, and inconclusive sieges.
Another excellent Middle Earth book. If you like Tolkien's world these game supplements are fantastic reading for you, even if you don't game!. Tons of detail and history of Middle Earth. Very recommended.
