Again, I ask: what is "The New Shadow"?

"The New Shadow" was meant to be a sequel to LOTR. Set after Aragorn's death, it would feature some new sorcerous cults rising under the Mouth of Sauron(I believe).
Tolkien wrote about 14 pages and then abandoned it as he thought it would demean everybody's sacrifices in LOTR if evil just rose again in little more than a century.
