Why is northern Eriador (Lake Evendim, Fornost) deserted at the end of the 3rd Age? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Fornost was pretty much rubble after it was sacked by the armies of Angmar in 1974. But the thought of secret places among the ruins where the Rangers would go is indeed intriguing.

The city in the north I'm curious about is Annuminas, which was simply abandoned sometime in the first millenium of the third age. Instead of being destroyed by war, it would have merely been reclaimed by the elements.
