Arnor

Fornost
When Arnor fought the War of the Last Alliance, they were weakened enough to the point they were forced to abandon their capital city of Annûminas. The royal throne was moved here to Fornost, which is closer to the borders against Angmar. They now hold the greater share of military forces, enough even to wage war against Minas Anor.

Lake and Hills of Evendim
The hills of Evendim are short and stout, with many a watchtower on them, and they hold guard against any Orcs attacking Annûminas from the North or West. Lake Nenuial is situated above the grand City, and is the only way of communication they have with the world as they are cut off with steep hills to the west and south, the Arnorians of Annûminas uses boats to travel the stream to a number of unused docks in the riverside. The river passes the Old Forest of Eriador, and to Sarnvad, where any travellers of the Edain takes the Green Road through Cardolan.

At that time Dale was not yet founded, and Thranduil was the only one to be able to stop the farings westwards. However he wished not for a war without purpose, and he let them go. The men of Carn Dûm was known for excellent torture methods and equipment, surpassing even the goblins of the Misty Mountains.

Torech Ungol
Tunnels dug out by creatures until now unrevealed, either men from before they ventured West to Beleriand, or maybe Orcs or other foul creatures. No matter who lived there they are now forgotten like a poor beggar lost in the streets of a great civilization. Shelob lives there now, torturing and feasting over people still dumb enough to enter her realm. None until now that has challenged her to battle has prevailed, all fallen to her deadly bite. Deep underground she mates with her offspring to create a race of spiders many thousand times larger than those you find under your mat outside the house. The giant creatures of Mirkwood is of her children.
