MINAS ITHIL
Within the realm of Gondor, the fortress city of Minas Ithil " Tower of the Rising Moon", was built on the western spur of the Mountains of Mordor. When it was built in 3320 of the Second Age it was the city of the Dunedain prince, Isildur.
Just a century after it was built the forces of Sauron seized Minas Ithil, but Isildur regained control by the begining of the Third Age.
It would appear that evil is returning.
A large army of orcs and uruk-hai have been sighted heading in the direction of Minas Ithil. This huge and terrible force poured through the narrow pass of Cirith Ungol " the pass of the spider" in the Mountains of Shadow and are within close range of the city.

The forces of Sauron have gathered on the border of Minas Ithil. A sea of black, stretching into the distance. A multitude of orcs, stunted and hideous in form, their yellow, jagged fangs slavering for flesh, their eyes red slits in their black, charred faces.
They are clad in armour of steel plate and linked chains and are armed with poisoned daggers, arrows and broad swords.
Dressed in black armour and carrying shields emblazoned with the Red Eye of Modor, the Uruk-hai captains bark orders to their orc army.
At a signal they raise their swords, ready to begin the battle for Minas Ithil.

*Rides up to the city on Morilinde, can see the orc army in the distance. Warriors are gathering from all over middle-earth. Rides towards the mounted section and joins the line of soldiers and their steeds watching the approaching shadow.*

*Draws her sword, Alagos and glares coldly at the enemy.*

*Has heared about a dark army gathering in the east and so rides fast to join the forces fighting against evil.*

*Morilinde is nervous, refusing to stand still, sensing the evil that carries in the wind. He is covered in sweat and lather drips from his mouth as he hauls against the bit in his mouth, trying to break free.*
Sedho Morilinde! ( be still)
* Struggles to hold the might of the horse as it leaps, breaking the line of horses, it is upsetting the others, causing panic to spread amongst them. Their riders say nothing save for a few soothing inaudible words.
Looks around at the grim and determined faces, spots Aragorn giving orders to some of the men and was that Rhiannon who just rode in?
All eyes are on the encroaching enemy, waiting for them to make the first move.*

*Has left her horse behind to fight on her own feet as usual. Walks up the hill. Sees Floryian and takes a position next to her.* Good to see you, my friend although it's such a serious and dark occasion that has brought us together.

Sadly that is true. But it lifts my spirits to know that I am fighting beside trusted friends and noble warriors.

Suddenly and without warning the dark forces attack.
They move as one, a black sea of death and destruction bearing down upon the elves and men.

*Moves forward with the surging army of Uruk-Hai and Orcs. The shouts, screams and growls of other Captains rings through the air. With a low and loud growl, Azgork advances quickly, shouting commands to the Orcs behind him.*
Onwards, you fools! Take off their heads! Make for the nearest ones! You few, attack the ones at the end. Be ruthless, you imbeciles! This ain't a place for nancy little wimps! Fight!

A speck of black dot was seen in the distance, it is a ringwraith on his winged beast, leading swarms of large black crows, their wings blocking the light which was so dear to the elves and men.
Far away in the Pits of Angband, creatures armed with scales of iron, mighty teeth and claws and great powers of flame and sorcery appeared. These creatures were known to the elves and men as the ancient Worms of Morgoth Dragons. <-- ( Is this part relevant?)
