South of Rivendell and the Trollshaws, following the course of the river Bruinen south toward Hollin, lies a relatively uninhabited region known as T�l Bruinen, where many small villages once stood. Time and troll-raids diminished them greatly, leaving the land mostly devoid of civilization save for a few fishermen and adventurous hunters. There was a time when Elves travelled frequently through T�l Bruinen, but since the fall of Fornost in the West even their presence in the wilderness has become scarce.
In recent days, evil has begun to creep into T�l Bruinen. Bands of Orcs marching north out of Mordor and south from Mount Gundabad and Angmar harry travellers; foul worms inhabit the heights; and Gauredain in league with Angmar move against the Free Peoples.
