Tharbad

And so after that, we, we went, we heard reports that there was recruitment happening over in Bree.

And so we, as in Durhill and I traveled along to Bree and went to look for the prancing pony to get information from Barlam and Butterbur to look for Fred, who is someone who would know about these, um, secret meetings and recruitments we were unable to find fred but we did get a tail in the form of a southern southern ling southern ling raider and we captured him interrogated him he didn't give us any useful information so we let him go but secretly stealthed behind him to figure out where he was going which was to fred's house we finally reached fred and threat not really threatened but we get to thread and we have him captured and he gives up everything of the that Kael who's the leader of the men of orcs or the men of the leader of the evil men of the black pact that he is from Dunland and so we made our way down there um down past Tharbad which I showed um Durhill where his father was buried around here and then we went through Tharbad where his father passed away and we came down all the way to Dunland which is near Isengard and the road to Gondor and Rohan you see the R there um There we run into Kael, we have a little skirmish, and we capture him, and he gives us information that Targon, who is the leader of all of this, is trying to come to Anumenis.

I'm going to actually zoom out a little bit so you can kind of see more of the journey.

So we have...

to have taken up leadership over some of these.

And I'm not saying I'm the leader de facto, there's no rank, whatever, but I'm just looked up to for guidance because I was the one who kind of uncovered the plot of the Black Pact and their existence to begin with.

And with Durhiel's father for long passing in the Battle of Tharbad, things just kind of naturally started looking to me.

And so she's really proud of the man that I've become in such a short time.

And Fred told us that there are recruitments.

And they're being... recruited in that Kael is from who's the leader of the human side of the Black Pact is from Dunland so then we traveled along the the Greenway down to Dunland and while on the way right before Tharbad I took Durhale to his father's grave which is somewhere around here and then we went through Tharbad which was a little somber because you know that he knows that's where his dad died and We went to Dunland, we found Kael, we captured him, and interrogated him, and found out that the name of the Hidden One is Targon.

And we found out that there's a coronation happening in Anamenas, which was the original headquarters, if you will, for all of Arnor at one point.

And that there's an army amassing there.

great success so what i'll say is that because i believe this is the same hex if not it's super close enough that i'm gonna kind of fudge it if we need to is that this is where i buried kirian who was my fallen who was my companion in the first season who helped me find my dad and resolve uh the secret of angmar uh and help me bury the blade of angmar if i'm not mistaken and But at the beginning of the second season, what kickstarted all this was me finding a wagon here and his body.

And he had been killed by the Black Pact.

And that's what kickstarted a revenge tale that got me captured and discovering the Black Pact and taking them out at Tharbad.

And then there's just been pockets of fighting here and there, and that's where we kind of picked up this season with the Battle of the Trollshaws and trying to identify anything with the Black Pact.
