17 April, Twentytsix years after my coming to Carn Dûm.
Angmar Highland
We left the great halls of Carn Dûm this morning. A cold morning breeze brewed and the sun shined without warmth. But I was determined to heed my summon, and I set out on my journey in good spirit.
When we crossed the borders of the inner realm a band of orcs tried to stop us though. Appearently they were not very fond of humans and acused us of being intruders in their lands. I was so enraged that I executed their leader and sent word to the mines that a group of fresh workers were on their way.

The Ettenmoors
Perhaps we shouldn´t have taken the east road after all. One night when we had made camp at the eaves of the ettenwoods we were attacked by elves. They had obviously monitored us all day and awaited the right time to strike. Covards! We were lucky though, because the elves didn´t have a single archer with them and charged into our campsite yelling; ”Elbereth! Elbereth!” wile waving their swords about like children.
They killed most of my servants and soldiers, but at last we managed to get the upper hand. I was wounded, but not fataly, and had allready slayed many of them when they shamefully fled into the shadows of the forest. There were only a few survivors and those who still lived were badly wounded. I thought for hours and then sent them back to Angmar with the horses. If I were alone I could go unnoticed much easier. Also, I desited to travel by foot. If there were more elves sneaking about they could probably track me easier if I was riding a horse.
I´m no longer taking the road to the south as I first imagined I would, but going through the wild straight to the south-west. I hope to reach the eastern banks of the gray river before the end of the week. From there I will journey to the last bridge in the south and then take to the west, straight to Bree.

The Forsaken Inn
I have now reached the final stage of my journey. Today I recieved word by an emmisary of the dark lady to meet up with a man called Haton at the Inn of the Prancing Pony. There I was to be innitiated to the The Heirs of Ruin (Which is the codename for the organisation operating on the iron crown´s behalf in Eriador.) and linger to await further orders from the dark lady. I´m very excited. I have big plans for these lands and I am convinced that in the future we are going to achive great things.
