Chronicles of Estwuin

The Chronicles of Estwuin are a series of fantasy short stories based around the Lord of the Rings.

Beginings
Sometime during the end of the Second Age and the beginning of the Third Age, there was a mass exodus of persons from the Eastern lands of Middle-earth. In this exodus, there were people of all races, men of Arnor, elves of Mirkwood and mountain creatures.

However, as these people came together to forge a great kingdom (bar the elves, whom created their own empire in the forests of Eiferel), the Wraith-king, and the forces gifted to him by Sauron, pursued them, perching in the Fornost mountains ready to strike at the developing kingdoms.

The men were lead by Euwinil, who had been a descendant of one of the kings of Arnor. He forged the fortress city of Ustweril, from which he reigned to agricultural provinces of Rhuliv, Custwerhin and Euelvil. Whilst Rhuliv and Custwerhin were farming lands, Euelvil was situated on the coast of the Eastern sea.

The forests of Eiferel was situated to the north, where it bordered the Fornost mountains. The elves were governed by the prince Irhiril, along with his consort: the lady Galfihel.

In the mountains, the Wraith-king ruled. He was a being created through the use of the Morgul-blade. He became a lieutenant to the Witch-king, serving as his emmisary. In the eastern lands of Estwuin, he built to fortress of Ulug-orai, meaning "the Palace of Drakness" in the the language of Mordor.
