The Mountains of Angmar were an extension of the Misty Mountains that lay to the west of Mount Gundabad,[1] home to the Witch-king of Angmar who ruled from his capital Carn Dûm on the western tip of the mountain range.

History[edit | edit source]

The Witch-king came to the Mountains around T.A. 1300 and established the realm of Angmar.[2] There he gathered evil men, Orcs and other evil creatures.[3] The Witch-king was defeated at the Battle of Fornost in T.A. 1975[2] along with all of Angmar's men and orcs west of the mountains.[3] In 1977 Frumgar and the Éothéod[2] drove off Angmar's remnants east of the mountains.[4] Orcs probably returned around T.A. 2480 as they constructed secret strongholds along the Misty Mountain range[2] but were again reduced in numbers by the Battle of Five Armies[5] in 2941.[2]
