Insane Lord of the Rings fan, mod tester, and writer of fiction (especially RPs at my staff position at RPGFrontier.net). I'm one of those crazy people who has way too many ideas and can't keep his mouth shut. This is how I got the title of "Head Fanatic," and later Adminship, for the Narnia mod. I was formerly WoA's Secretary of Foreign Affairs, but I've resigned that post for ModDB. Recently, I've only been lurking in the corners of moddb, leaving the PR work for Wars of Arda to the more eager Neth, but you'll still see me around from time to time. I marvel, nonetheless, at the amount of respect I get around here... it's weird, but I guess all you need is a level 10 profile and a few friends.

Report RSS The War of Arnor: Part V

Posted by on

In the northlands, the snow is stained red with the blood of Arnor. A massive army of orcs and their siege weapons, led by Grima, attacks Arveleg's army at Mount Gundabad. Flanking the battle lines of the Arnorians, Grima's ballistae cause devastation among the tightly-packed troops. Meanwhile, Grima's Warg Riders rove the snowy plain, devestating Arnor's buildings. All seems lost until Glorfindel's cavalry returns from their lightning attack on the enemy base. The remains of Arveleg's army retreat west as Glorfindel and his steadfast horsemen devestate Grima's siege equipment and track down the fleeing warg riders. Although it cost Arveleg almost his entire army, Arnor has triumphed again. Now Curinir sets his sights on the mountain passes...

Translation: An epic battle was fought for control of Mount Gundabad. Ever since Arvedui's crushing defeat there, the region has been debatable, and this proved to be the fiercest battle yet. Fifteen ballistae took out most of my army, but my Galadhrim Archers and a sparse remnant of my infantry survived. Fortunately, I managed to negotiate Glorfindel's return from a scouting mission just in time to save Arveleg from death at Wormtongue's knife. Foiled there, Saruman's army attacked the High Pass, where Carthaen's army now stands...

What are you talking about? That's the first hero army (of a decent size) that got owned. And it was only one battle, if that's what you mean. :P

Although victory required the sacrifice of many elves and the entire Dunedain Army........

Well, I hate to tell you this, but the "entire Dunedain Army" was three battalions of soldiers and three of archers. Or, in modern terms, three peasants and a duck. *laughs maniacally to self*

Then its not an "army" is it? Just a Dunedain division who made off with a messy diversion.

Isn't that three peasants and *three* ducks?

No, there was only one duck. The peasants ate the other two. *laughs maniacally once again*
