Turn 14: Black Gate Remains Shut

Twenty three thousand knights of Gondor rode out of North Ithilien to storm the Black Gate of Mordor at Udun. Mass slaughter ensued as rampaging trolls streamed out of hidden Cliffside caves and forced the brave knights upon the Mordor defences. Caught between a rock and a rock wielding troll battalion, the men of the west were summarily executed. More than half of the 26,000 Mordor defenders remained to fill their bellies.

The Dwarven armies continue their spring exercises by capturing vast swathes of northern territory. A small force of starving orcs in the Western Wastes are all that remain of the Mordor horde in the northern lands. The Dwarves copious facial hair is proving a formidable asset in the cold climes.

Gondor reclaimed the coastal region of Anfalas, but the recent occupiers pulled a quick manouvre to clash head-on with one of the relieving forces. More than 5000 men were killed in ambushes, taking 2000 wily orcs with them. Andrast fell to the advancing Wolfhead clan. May the people of Andrast fair better than the former denizens of Belfalas.

Elven forces continue to move unmolested through the High Passes of the Misty Mountains and beauty slowly returns to the Gladden Fields as the Elven people breath life into the fertile land.

The Pirate King reclaimed the region of Harad, slaying 3400 Easterling defenders. However, more than 40,000 Mordor troops retreated to South Gondor, joining forces with oncoming hordes from Khand and Poros. The greatest army ever mobilized floods the fields of Southern Gondor with fires that can be seen from the towers of Minas Tirith.

Mordor armies advance into the Wold. Could a bloody conflict grip the middle lands?
