Summary: The third age has passed years ago. The fourth age has come... Middle earth had peace for many years. Many new kingdoms are born and some of the old ones reunited. Some powerful kings and warriors are dead but darkness never dies. It is the year 257 into the fourth age. An evil of old has awaken. An old general of the dark lord Morgoth himself has returned. His name is Sorthog. As we know Morgoth's mind never died and he sent a message to a powerful servant to continue what he and Sauron never finished. No one noticed him in Forodwaith and he built a giant fortress almost in the level of Barad dûr and Angband named Shadow Cûrn. Some orcs were coming from the north and the people of middle earth were worried. Also some say that he made a cold drake serve him and a balrog too. An Arnorian watch tower was attacked. The fortress of Silvernor was attacked by the lorien elves and the red elves. The red elves retreated but the lorien elves took it. Cenior called a council in Annuminas. Sorthog called Shuma the vampire king and made an alliance. Then a balrog was seen in the east marching towards Mordor. The tauredain attacked him. Tormented elves seeked help and went to Annuminas. A battle brought doom to the lands of ithilien and dwarves attacked and slayed the orcs putting a siege to the black gate. 75,000 orcs and 15,000 vampires attacked Annuminas. The armies of the free people destroyed them and began their plans for Mordor. Shuma appeared in Annuminas and asked for alliance but Cenior, declined it because the leader of the vampires had already caused much trouble. The armies of Mordor broke out and attacked the dwarves but failed and the vampires attacked the dwarves. The Tauredain asssisted the dwarves and won the battle. The black numenoreans wity leader Oryis watched but didn't take side. Sorthog appeared and made a fake alliance with Glosur and Sorthog had a great battle with Caoxatl which he won. Caoxatl was imprisoned in a fortress in Mordor and escaped with help of Cenior killing the fake lieutenant of Sorthog. Dakath fought Sorthog but they both lost. Sorthog sent 85,000 soldiers towards Minas Tirith and 100,000 towards Annuminas. The Shadow Blade, the true lieutenant of Sorthog made an alliance with Oryis. Oryis, atacked the white mountains but Glosur attacked him. When Dakath wake up from his fight with Sorthog, Cenior took care of him and he talked about a demon that was about to come to Middle Earth. A Dol Guldur messenger went to Lorien and warned them about their power and asked for the head of Faenor. Dakath went to Shadow Cûrn to make an alliance with Sorthog. Of course he declined. The armies of Sorthog almost reached Annuminas but they saw no defenders. Cenior and Caoxatl wanted more allies so Caoxatl went to the Limwaith leader. The Limwaith leader helped him but he fell in the battle for the Moredain capital. The Moredain leader was killed during this deadly battle and the Tauredain and Limwaith won the battle. Dakath was shot by Sorthog but survived. Cenior went to Lorien to ask Faenor for help and he said that in the time of need he will help them. Oryis asked Sorthog to give him Lorien if he takes it and Sorthog said yes. Annuminas finally fell after a long battle and Sorthog started marching towards Fornost with 200,000 strong troops to destroy the last Arnorian city. Oryis went to Lorien and offered to help them if The Shadow Empire attacks and they said yes. Some civilians were recued by the elves of the misty mountains with the leader named Turatamo. Cenior went to talk with Turatamo. The Vixier of the Tauredain started marching to help Gondor and was greeted by a Gondorian army. Clan Kor got ready for war and some fortresses of Sorthog fell from the vampires (not clan kor). Sorthog got in Fornost and slayed the king of the reunited kingdom, the son of Elessar named Eldarion. Cenior went to the Vixier and asked to choose between Minas Titith and Fornost and they agreed that they should help Minas Tirith. Turatamo went to Lorien and Elestel asked Turatamo about the war. Oryis went to Isengard but the tormented elves were up there and Oryis tried to make a secret alliance with them but The Shadow Blade had followed him so he felt that Oryis had betrayed Sorthog so he attacked. After a long battle, the armies of Oryis withdrawn and decided to go help Minas Tirith but the tormented elves still hold. A messenger from Cenior went to Clan Kor to ask for help and he did it! The armies of Mordor reached Minas Tirith and attacked. The elves of Lorien and the Tauredain went there to help the free people. They were losing the battle but the host of Eregion charged the orcs from the behind and helped the situation. Then, Oryis attacked too...but the Mordor army reformed along with the easterlings and haradrim and outflanked them. The battle continued and the free people finally won.
