South of Rivendell and the Trollshaws, following the course of the river Bruinen south toward Hollin, lies a relatively uninhabited region known as Tâl Bruinen, where many small villages once stood. Time and troll-raids diminished them greatly, leaving the land mostly devoid of civilization save for a few fishermen and adventurous hunters. There was a time when Elves travelled frequently through Tâl Bruinen, but since the fall of Fornost in the West even their presence in the wilderness has become scarce.
In recent days, evil has begun to creep into Tâl Bruinen. Bands of Orcs marching north out of Mordor and south from Mount Gundabad and Angmar harry travellers; foul worms inhabit the heights; and Gauredain in league with Angmar move against the Free Peoples.
