Mountains of Angmar
The Mountains of Angmar were an extension of the Misty Mountains that lay to the west of Mount Gundabad, home to the Witch-king of Angmar who ruled from his capital Carn Dûm on the western tip of the mountain range.
History
The Witch-king came to the Mountains around Third Age 1300 and established the realm of Angmar. There he gathered evil men, Orcs and other evil creatures. The Witch-king was defeated at the Battle of Fornost in Third Age 1975 along with all of Angmar's men and orcs west of the mountains. In Third Age 1977 Frumgar and the Éothéod drove off Angmar's remnants east of the mountains. Orcs probably returned around Third Age 2480 as they constructed secret strongholds along the Misty Mountain range but were again reduced in numbers by the Battle of Five Armies in Third Age 2941.
