−	~~'''~~Mount Gundabad~~''' was a mountain at~~ the northern ~~end~~ of the [[Misty Mountains]].	+	==Description==
		+	From the northern part of the [[Vales of Anduin]], Mount Gundabad appeared to be the northern endpoint of the [[Misty Mountains]] and the western endpoint of the [[Grey Mountains]], although slightly separated from both ranges.<ref>{{H\|Wilderland}}</ref> In actuality, the Misty Mountains continued past Mount Gundabad in a northwesterly direction (this extension was known as the [[Mountains of Angmar]]). In all maps the mountain was shown as having three conjoined peaks. Bordering [[Forodwaith]] to the north, the mountain undoubtedly had a cold climate.<ref>{{UT\|Map}}</ref>

	==History==		==History==
−	According to the [[Dwarves]], [[Durin\|Durin the Deathless]], eldest of the [[Fathers of the Dwarves]], awoke at Mount Gundabad ~~in the north of the Misty Mountains~~ shortly after the [[Awakening of the Elves]].<ref>{{PM\|~~Dwarves~~}}</ref> Mount Gundabad ~~remained~~ a ~~sacred holy site to the Dwarves ever after and a meeting~~ place ~~with the other Fathers~~ of ~~the~~ Dwarves. ~~However at some point during the~~ [[~~Second Age~~]], [[~~Orcs~~]] ~~that survived the destruction of~~ [[~~Angband~~]] ~~wandering~~ in the [[~~Northern Waste~~]], [[First Sacking of Gundabad~~\|attacked~~]] ~~the mountain and took it for themselves~~.	+	According to the [[Dwarves]], [[Durin\|Durin the Deathless]], eldest of the [[Fathers of the Dwarves]], awoke at Mount Gundabad shortly after the [[Awakening of the Elves]]. From that time forward the mountain was revered by the Dwarves.<ref name="Relations">{{PM\|Relations}},p. 301</ref> However, since Durin awoke alone he did not stay at the mountain; he walked southward until he discovered [[Moria\|Khazad-dûm]].<ref>{{FR\|II4}}</ref> In the early ages Mount Gundabad did serve as a place of assembly for delegations of Dwarves, yet there is no mention of any making permanent residence there.<ref name="Relations"/>
−		+
−	In the ~~[[Third Age]],~~ the ~~[[Orcs]]~~ of [[Angmar]] ~~claimed it as their capital, which~~ was ~~one~~ of the ~~reasons for the Dwarves' special hatred~~ of ~~this~~ people. After the ~~fall~~ of ~~Angmar Gundabad remained an Orc stronghold, until it was~~ [[~~Second Sacking of Gundabad\|cleaned~~]] ~~of Orcs during~~ the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]] in the ~~2790s~~. ~~The Orcs did however repopulate~~ it ~~over~~ the ~~next two hundred years~~, ~~although after~~ the [[~~Battle of Five Armies~~]] ~~their numbers never reached its former strength again~~.	+	In {{SA\|1695}} [[Sauron]] invaded [[Eriador]]. In {{SA\|1697\|n}} he conquered [[Eregion]]<ref>{{App\|SA}}</ref> and would have overwhelmed [[Elrond]], leading refugees northward, but he was attacked in the rear by forces sent from Khazad-dûm. Sauron drove the Dwarves back but could not breach the [[Doors of Durin]]. Frustrated, he commanded the Orcs to harry the Dwarves wherever they could be found.<ref>{{UT\|Concerning}}</ref> Soon thereafter came the [[First Sacking of Gundabad]], followed by a long occupation by Orcs.<ref name="Relations"/>
−		+
−	Mount Gundabad ~~was~~ the ~~rally point~~ of the ~~armies~~ of [[~~Bolg~~]] the ~~Goblin chieftain~~, ~~who would later go on to fight~~ the Battle of Five Armies.<ref>{{H\|~~Burst~~}}</ref>	+	Around the year {{TA\|1300}} the realm of [[Angmar]] arose.<ref name="TA">{{App\|TA}}</ref> Its lands lay on both sides of the Misty Mountains<ref>{{App\|Eriador}}</ref> so Mount Gundabad was part of its domains. Although Angmar was destroyed in {{TA\|1975\|n}}<ref name="TA"/> and the last remnants of its people east of the mountains were driven away<ref>{{App\|Eorl}}</ref> in {{TA\|1977\|n}},<ref name="TA"/> Gundabad itself remained populated with Orcs.
		+
		+	After the death of King [[Thráin II]] in {{TA\|2790\|n}} the Dwarves gathered for vengeance. The [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]] began in {{TA\|2793\|n}}<ref name="TA"/> and the [[Second Sacking of Gundabad]] occurred.<ref>{{App\|Durin}}</ref> Although it is likely that the Dwarves cleared the mountain of all Orcs, afterwards the Orcs returned and Mount Gundabad again served as their capital in the North.<ref name="Burst">{{H\|Burst}}</ref>
		+
		+	In {{TA\|2941\|n}}<ref name="TA"/> [[Thorin]] [[Oakenshield]], [[Gandalf]], several Dwarves, and [[Bilbo Baggins]] entered the Misty Mountains. While in the mountains the [[Great Goblin]] was killed and the party escaped. Furious, the Orcs gathered at Mount Gundabad under the command of [[Bolg]] to seek revenge. Hearing of the death of [[Smaug]] they marched on the [[Lonely Mountain]].<ref name="Burst"/> However, the Orcs lost the [[Battle of Five Armies]] and three parts of their numbers.<ref>{{H\|Return}}</ref> Orcs still lived at Mount Gundabad by the end of the [[Third Age]] but in a very reduced state.
