Thank you Morai and Raefindel.

I am trying to be as accurate as possible to Tolkien and established craft, such as sword making and battle techniques, which I will get into later.

The character "Evinyatalis" will be fighting in the War with the Witch-King of Angmar.

Third Age year 1272 - 1975

It was in the beginning of the reign of Malvegil T.A.1272-1349 that evil came to Arnor for at that time the realm of Angmar arose in the North beyond the Ettenmoors where many evil Men and Orcs were gathered. The Lord of that land was the Witch-King ( later it was known he was the chief of the Ringwraits.)

Arnor was divided into three lesser realms Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur, originaly ruled by descendants of Elendil but no heirs of him could be found in Rhudaur and the three realms was in constant strife about the chief Palantiri of the North, the one at Amun-Sul and the son of Malvegil, Argeleb I. ( 1349-1356 ) from Fornost the chief-city in Arthedain claimed the overlordship of all former land of Arnor but Rhudaur rejectet the claim for here had an evil Lord in secret league with Angmar seized pover and Argeleb was slain in battle with Rhudaur and Angmar who attacked the wheather-hills were the tower of Amun-Sul and the Palantiri stood. But Arveleg, ( 1356-1409 ) the son of Argeleb, with aid from Cardolan and Cirdan in Lindon drover back the enemies from the hills and held in many years in force a frontier along the Weather-Hills.

In 1409 a great host came out of Angmar and entered Cardolan and surrounded Amun-Sul and the tower and in the battle was Arveleg slain but the Palantiri was saved and brought back to Fornost in retreat. Rhudaur was occupied by Angmar and Cardolan was ravage and the last King in the line of Isildur died. The surviving Dùnedains there fleed West to the Barrow Downs and the forests. In Fornost was Araphor, the young son of Arveleg, under heavy attack but he was an valiant, brave and capable child, not full grown yet, and with aid from Cirdan he repelled the enemy from Fornost and the North Downs and drove them back to the river Hoarwell and for a time Angmar was subdued bbecause of the Elves from Lindon and a host brought out of Lorien and Rivendell by Elrond.

But evil shoved up in many ways and during the reign of Argeleb II.( 1589-1670 ) the plague came into Eriador from South-East and the lands of Arthedain and especialy Cardolan suffered, the remaining people in Cardolan suffered greatly and most of the people there perished. Angmar took advantage of this and and evil spirits came out of Angmar and took possesion of the Barrow-downs.

In the reign of Araphant 1891-1964 Angmar renew its war on Arthedain. Araphant holds out and he seeks to renew the ancient alliance and kinship with Gondor. His heir Arvedui weds Fìriel, daughter of the King Ondohir in Gondor but Gondor is at war with the Wain-riders and send little help. When Ondohir dies Arvedui claims the crown of Gondor on behalf Fìriel and himself as representing the elder line of Isildur but the claim is rejectet and the crown of Gondor went to Earnil II who promised he would not forget or deny the kinship and send aid when needed but at the time none could be spared. Araphant continued, and after him his son Arvedui with dwindling strength to hold off the Witch-King but in 1973 Arvedui sent his last message to Gondor that Arthedain was in great need of help and that Angmar prepared the last stroke upon it. Then Earnill II send his son Earnur North with a fleet with all he could spare.

In the winter of 1974 the power of Angmar arose again and the Witch-King came down with a great host upon Arthedain, He captured Fornost but some of the remaining Dùnedains escaped to Lindon and Cirdan and among them was the two sons of Arvedui the King. Arvedui held out in the North Downs until the end and, with him he had the Palantiri from Annùminas and Amun-Sul, then he fleed North to the old Dwarf-mines in the far Northern end of Ered Luin, but at last hunger drove him to seek the help of the Snowmen at Forochel, the Lossoths.

In Lindon Cirdan heard of Arvedui from his sons and at once he send a ship to Forochel where they found Arvedui and his men by a fire of driftwood, but they could not get close to land because of the ice. The Lossoths drew in their sliding carts Arvedui and his last men out on the ice as far as they could and in that way a boat from the ship was able to reach them. Arvedui gave to the chief of the Lossoth the Ring of Barahir as a sign of friendship and told him it could be ransomed for help if ever needed but the Palantiri of Annùminas and Amun-Sul he brought with him aboard on the ship. When the ship had nearly reached open sea a great snow-storm arose from the North and drove the ship back into the ice and it piled ice up against it and crushed its hull and the ship foundered and all aboard it perished with it and so ended the North Kingdom in the winter of 1974.

In 1975 the fleet from Gondor reaches Lindon and the Grey Havens and Cirdan summoned all from Lindon and the land of Arnor to come to him and when all was ready they marched North to challenge the Witch-King in Fornost and they came down on him from the hills of Evendim and there was a great battle between Lake Nenuial and the North-Downs where the host of the Which-King was routet utterly. The Witch-King fleed with all he could gather North but the cavalry of Gondor with Earnur and a force from Rivendell under the Elf-lord Glorfindel overtook him and none, not a man or Orc escaped save the Witch-King who suddenly appeared and rode against Earnur to kill him but the horse of Earnur could not endure the hate and the cry of the Witch-King and it bore Earnur away before he could master it, Glorfindel on his white horse rode against the Witch-King but in the midst of his laughter the Witch-King turned to flight and passed into the shadow of the coming night and no-one saw where he went.
