Nargothrond

An artistic portrayal of the ancient fortress of Nargothrond

History

The realm of Nargothrond [[1]] [[2]] was once a glorious underground fortress which was later sacked by the first of Dragons, Glaurung [[3]] and his army of Orcs. Covered by an ancient sea the lengendary stronghold was lost to the sands of time. Once again this savage land has been plunged into battle as a Western Uruk-Hai [[4]] traveled through the burnt landscape and settled the dark halls within the mountains. Here the rally of goblins, trolls, dark elves, orcs, and other foul creatures unite under one banner. Reclaiming lost heraldry this new force is rising, bent on domination or death.
