In the midst of Malenhad, the vast, sulphurous bog at the center of Angmar, a great line of statues bars the way into the eastern reaches of that vile land, and thus the passage to Carn Dûm. For many hundreds of years, the Hill-men of Angmar believed them to be mere icons for they seemed to have no power - they were wrong.
When evil returned to Carn Dûm in the form of Mordirith, the False King, a Ranger from the North Downs by the name of Golodir came to lead the Hill-men against their new oppressors. When the army of Rangers and Hill-men crossed the line of Rammas Deluon, the watching stones - for that is what they were - sprang their ancient trap. The spirits that abide within those statues are not mere watchers, but have the power to drain the very hope and life from those caught within their spell. What the fate of Golodir and his army was, none can tell, but ever since none have been able to approach the stones of Rammas Deluon without putting their lives, or at the very least their will, at risk of destruction.
Rammas Deluon is one of many points of interest created by the developers of The Lord of the Rings Online™: Shadows of Angmar™, building off of concepts and lore founded in the Books of J.R.R. Tolkien. It will be up to the players of LOTRO to learn the secrets of Rammas Deluon and pass beyond to the darkest regions of Angmar.
