Men of the North Kingdom!

This day we shatter the upstart of Angmar

to restore the glory of the Dunedain!
- King Argeleb of Arthedain
 INTRODUCTION
Arnor, or the Northern Kingdom, was a kingdom of the Dnedain
in the land of Eriador in Middle Earth. At its greatest, Arnor
encompassed almost the whole region of Eriador between Bruinen,
Gwathl and Lhn, and the region which would later be known as
the Shire.
With the victory of the War of the Last Alliance, Arnor's power was
apparently at its zenith. The King of Arnor held the overlordship of
all the land from the Bay of Forochel to the River Poros on the southern
borders of Ithilien, and from the Blue Mountains to the Mountains of
Shadow. But in reality Arnor's strength had been severely depleted by
the war and the Disaster of the Gladden Fields, and the northern
Dnedain never really recovered from their losses. The first few centuries
of the Third Age were relatively uneventful, but it seems that Arnor's
population gradually began to dwindle even in this early period.

After the death of its tenth king, Erendur dissension among his three
sons led to the division of Arnor. The eldest son, Amlaith, claimed
Kingship over all Arnor but was reduced to ruling only the region of
Arthedain as his kingdom, while the other sons founded the kingdoms
of Cardolan and Rhudaur. The former capital, Annminas, became
depopulated and fell into ruin. The capital of Arnor was relocated to the
lesser city of Fornost Erain on the North Downs.

This division hastened the decline of the Northern Dnedain. The three k
ngdoms had frequent border skirmishes over boundary disputes, but the
relationship of Arthedain and Cardolan remained relatively peaceful.
Rhudaur, by contrast, was unfriendly towards the two other successor states,
and fought a bitter conflict with Cardolan and Arthedain over the tower of
Amon Sl and the possession of its palantr.

Around Third Age. 1300 during the reign of the sixth king at Fornost,
the Witch-king arose in the mountains north-east of Arnor, where he founded
the evil realm of Angmar. There, they gathered many evil men, orcs, and other
fell creatures, with the intent of destroying the realm of Arnor. 49 years later
with the death of King Malvegil. Due to the line of Kings that had failed in the realms
of Cardolan and Rhudaur, Argeleb claimed the lordship of all of Arnor again.
Cardolan accepted this claim, but Rhudaur had by then fallen under control
of Angmar, resisted his rule. Argeleb therefore fortified the hills at Weathertop,
and was killed in T.A. 1356 by evil men from Rhudaur.

fallen kingdom of the Dunedain. I do not claim any copyright as this pdf its
