Northern Middle-Earth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Northern Waste was apparently uninhabited, yet the Lossoth, the snowmen of Forochel, were there. And bearing in mind the thought of Angband, Utumno and later Angmar you might expect a good deal of nasty creatures still lingering there. The wights in the barrow-downs were from Angmar and I don´t think they were all the wights the Witch-king had to offer, not to mention all the evilness gathered in the strongholds of Morgoth. Also there is the Withered Heath, the place of the dragons.
Not much is said in the books about it but I´d say it´s not altogether a happy place up north. The land is not able to get rid of the memory of Morgoth, or so it seems.
