Turn 13: Horror at Morgul

One of the greatest battles for Middle Earth took place this week, as 54,000 brave men of Gondor followed Prince Imrahil into the horror that is the Vale Of Morgul. Terror seeped into the hearts of men as nearly 60,000 orcs poured a withering storm of arrows and cruel barbs into the attackers.
The greatly weakend force fell foul to berserking trolls and the slaughter was horrendous. One heroic captain returned to Minas Tirith to relate the news. Tragically he died of his wounds, as did the noble Prince of Dol Amroth.
More than half of the defenders remained to feast on their fallen foes.

Dwarven armies captured territory in the north, slaying the 3000 occupants of the great Mordor stronghold Gundabad. A large army marched into Northern Rhun and further gains were made into the Eastern Waste as Mordor forces retreated into the Grey Mountains.

Elves have also been on the march, reclaiming the Gladden Fields and pushing large numbers of warriors through the deserted High Pass.

The Pirate King feels mounting pressure as Mordor takes more of his territory, capturing the Sutherland. However, Nazgul enter the southern lands and paralyze the forces of Khand. This proves the demise of a small force of 3000 Easterlings that were expecting some support from Khand as they attacked into the Haradwaith. They were rapidly surrounded by 80,000 men of Umbar, led by the awesome presence of the Pirate King. None survived.

13,000 Uruk Hai of Isengard were slaughtered by the Mordor juggernaut in the Brown Lands.
More than 50,000 troops threaten the allied advance.
