Oh, wow, I can't believe I forgot.

Eureka held out his metallic arm as the raven Glosur had sent fluttered down with a message. He removed the letter, then gave the bird something to eat. He opened the letter. Here was another account of chaos in Middle-Earth. No region was safe, not even Gondor. He had just recently learned of the attack on Cirith Ungol. It was most unsettling indeed. As watchman of the East, it was his job to do something about it. However, he recognized the pattern of the enemy. If he pulled soldiers out of the White Foothills, the Grey Elven villages would be vulnerable. It was time to start construction of the Grey City. He sent a letter to each of the villages in the foothills: abandon the villages. We're giving them to the Rohirrim. Bring all your worldly possessions and make haste toward the Grey Keep. A city shall be built beneath the great fortress.

Once this happened, Eureka would be able to send out his riders without worrying about a serious attack, as there will only be one well-defended city.
