'The Hillmen of Rhudaur splintered into many different factions after the fighting that broke the North Kingdom, and many lived still among the ruins scattered through the wilderness of the Trollshaws. Many of them tried the passage of the mountains but most were defeated by snow in the high places. Those that endured took the name Corcur and live still in hard places.

'Always they resented their long-ago defeat, searching forever for strong allies to help them reclaim what they had lost. In Angmar they found the ally they sought, and the Corcur now dwell within Helegrod in service to Angmar's will.

'My son Elladan has long fought the Corcur, and knows of their ways. Speak to him at his camp of Thorenhad, among the Bruinen Gorges to the west of Imladris.'
