Turn 15: Pirate King Landlocked

The Lord of the Ring is completely surrounded in his southern land, losing more territory to opportunistic Easterlings. Will the Pirate King tear his gaze away from his bauble long enough to save his people?

No Rest for the Dwarves

Dwarven stamina appears not to have been overestimated as the stout armies of Dain claim more territories in the North.
The final vestiges of orc dominion sallied forth from the Western Waste to attack an oncoming band of Dwarvish warriors. All 2300 orcs were slain for 1200 grey beards.
The mountain fastness of Angmar was sacked as 600 orcish defenders fled to Beorns Marches. Unfortunately, 18000 Dwarven warriors from Framsburg rapidly overtook the screaming warband. Much rejoicing was made when the Dwarves had their fill of mutilation.

The infamous Wolfshead clan marched into the coastal province of Druwaith Iaur unopposed as all 8000 garrisoned Dunlendings marched North along with more than 3000 longships.

Lord Celeborn rode forth from the Halls of Thranduil, overwhelming the small force of orcs patrolling the Old Forest Road. Rumours abound that the Elven lord slew the 65 defenders single handedly.
Elven forces have been spotted crossing the High Passes from the regions around Imladris.

Gondorian forces take the battle to the very gates of Mordor as the Dead Marshes are cleared of soggy booted orcs. The brief sortee of Mordor forces into Osgiliath has evidently served its purpose as the orcish defenders make an orderly retreat to the dark halls of Minas Morgul. Gondorian cavalry poured into the ruined city from outlying provinces, bringing the two forces into spitting distance of each other.
Some concerns were raised amongst the men of the West as more than 140,000 Mordor troops marched North from the dusty southern climes, camping at Poros.

Weather report: Cold Easterly winds are expected across the lands bringing light showers in the region of Osgiliath…
