When the Line of Nuyin-el-Lodgun was first established, it was thin and long. Even as the dwarves continued to repair it, the elves put their skills and ideas about magic into this line that would last for several generations. It was the last line of defense for Middle-earth in the Era, but until the outbreak of the final battle (the Doomsday War), it was still not enough to cover the long area stretching from the Lonely Mountain in the west to the Iron Hills in the east.
Third Age, 3019, June 14th.
It was dawn now, and the mist still shrouded the land. In other words, in this vast and desolate land in the far north, the never-ending cold wind and fog are the main theme.
The wind of destruction that blew in from the outer sea passed through Ilmen and turned into frost and snow that froze everything, like sharp blades, spinning and rising in the wind, spreading over the entire Iron Mountains. Elves, dwarves, and humans all trembled and shrank, protecting their eyes and wrapping their bodies tightly with fur, cotton wool, or cloaks. Only the dragonborn blessed by Ilúvatar, Turka... Arakano is still wearing the armor of an elf, and is not afraid of cold wind, ice and snow.
At this moment, he was standing on a tall simple tower, looking at the unknown shadowed mountain range in the distance, his blue cloak flapping in the howling cold wind.
In his sight, an endless mountain range covered the northern sky. They were taller and more precipitous than the Misty Mountains. They were piled up by the power of Morgoth before the era. Even the eyes of the Valar It is impossible to completely penetrate the endless underground and see through the evil there.
On the side facing the south, three bottomless cracks suddenly appeared. On both sides of them were unreachable rock walls that no living being could climb over except the giant eagle. The valley under the steep rock wall is the only passage into the dark kingdom. Of course, there are three such passages.
At the end of the long mountain road called Udon Canyon, a majestic stone wall unimaginable by humans stands in front of the gate of Utumno. It was built by relying on some ancient technology that has been lost for a long time, and is bigger than Gondor. The seven city walls are taller together. In the center are three gates made of black iron. The city walls are infused with some mysterious power and can withstand any form of attack. There are multiple shooting points on both sides of the city gates, above and below. Kong was heavily guarded day and night, keeping an eye on the situation in the south; but thankfully, Ilúvatar, it had been overthrown.
According to the legend of the elves, this was overthrown by the Valar during the War of the Gods during the Age of the Lamp.
At that time, Tokas went deep into the underground, fought a fierce battle with Melkor, and finally knocked the most powerful fallen Valar to the ground, tied him with the iron chain Angenor forged by Aulë, and brought him back to prison; the world has since I was able to calm down for many years.
Yet the Valar did not discover all the great camouflaged caves and crypts beneath Angband and Utumno. Many evil things are still lingering there, and some such as birds and beasts have fled into the darkness, wandering in the desolate and abandoned world, waiting for more evil moments to come; the two flames that appeared in the second battle of Gushan before Demon is one of the representatives.
This was also true even for the Balrog that fought in the first battle when Turka Aracano came - the attack and defense of Misland. Also, the Valar did not find Sauron.
Furthermore, after the war, the north was in ruins, and the rising smoke formed large, thick clouds that obscured the stars in the sky.
Therefore, even Eonwei and Turka were not sure of challenging the ancient hell alone.
"But this must end." Turka murmured in the strong wind.
His eyes fell on the dwarves and elves who were working tirelessly like ants in the vast and desolate northern wasteland. Although they could not see the dawn of the morning, the thick fog covered everything, the wind and snow in the sky lingered on their simple wooden house, and also covered the terrifying mountain range in the far distance, but they looked to the north. His eyes were full of vigilance.
The humans from Elpera, the elves from Lothlórien, and the dwarves from the Lonely Mountain and the Iron Hills used rocks and roughly trimmed huge logs to build simple structures along the long Nuin-El-Lodgon defense line. defense point. Because they understand that even though the night has passed, evil will never be extinguished. Those enemies lurking deep underground and outside the world will eventually come back.
In order not to repeat the tragic scene during the Second Gushan War, even the stubborn dwarves abandoned their arrogant nature and struggled for their survival and tomorrow; only those elite warriors and elven archers fought in the day. Patrolling day after day. They were covered in thick furs, and the swords and crossbows in their hands were wrapped in grease so that they could unsheath them immediately when needed.
Correspondingly, billowing black smoke and flames have been rising from the huge cracked door of Utumno for years. It seems that the enemy is also seizing every opportunity to prepare for war. It seems that they are also seizing every opportunity to prepare for war. Know that a battle that will determine the fate of both sides is coming. And his enemy also has the advantage of terrain.
"The enemy still has power. Until their master is truly destroyed, all the evil that started from him will never end." A voice sounded from behind him.
It is Arwen, the Evenstar Princess of Lothlórien. She wore a thick fur-trimmed cloak. The smooth skin of some kind of animal made up the material of the back. An emerald green leaf-like gemstone button was fastened to her chest. Even the frost-covered Northland could not submerge it. of brilliance. Under the cloak, a pair of eyes as bright as stars looked straight at him.
Turka had already heard her footsteps walking up the tower. Even if the elves could walk on the snow without leaving a trace, they were too close, and the natural power of the elf princess was like a star in the dark. Even if he didn't go Look, Turka can still clearly feel her arrival.
"As for the traces of the dark enemy, even Vera cannot foresee it, so how can we identify it?" Turka was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "We can only do our best and leave it to fate."
"This battle will be won." Arwen finally left Turka's eyes and looked at the mountain range in the far north. A ray of uneasiness and fear flashed in her eyes, "But the elves, dwarves, and humans are... There will be no less blood shed."
"I'm never happy about war, my princess." Turka finally turned around, the elf's playful figure reflected in his golden vertical pupils, "But I won't back down either. This, in Misland, I That’s it.”
It is said that the reason why Arwen advised Turka was not because she felt that this battle was unnecessary, but to implore him that when victory came, he could stop his progress for a short time, because every time he took a step forward, he would leave. Taniquetil is one step closer, and she doesn't want his name to be sanctified.
"The wise know when to stop." She said: "Middle-earth still needs you, and those who love you still need you. When you chase the stars in the sky, please look down at Elanor of Caerin Amroth."
Elanor is a small golden or silver star-shaped flower that is found in places such as Tor Eressia and Lothlórien. In 870 of the First Era, at the wedding of Aldarion, Crown Prince of Númenor, to Erendis, the Eldar of Tor Eresia came to congratulate them with boats full of flowers, including the flowers of Ellanor and Lissuin flower. Therefore, all the guests at that wedding feast were able to wear flower crowns woven by Erlanor and Lissuin, and their fragrance was refreshing.
When Arwen still lived in Lothlórien, she would often walk up the hills of Amroth in Caerin alone, walking and singing among the golden and silver Ellanor flowers all over the mountains and plains.
Turka was speechless. Because he could feel the love contained in the Elf Princess's heart, but now he could not return the reciprocal love. So he kept his mouth shut.
The wind and snow remained the same, but silence spread between the two of them.
Finally, the sky became darker little by little, Yaryn's power in the sky began to weaken, Tyrion's power began to show, and the snowflakes in the sky began to reflect a faint golden color. Suddenly, a huge sound came from the southeast, resounding throughout Central Continent.
Arwen, who temporarily holds the water ring among the three elven rings for Lady Galadriel, feels that some kind of power is flowing rapidly from the white gemstone ring between her fingers. Weakness and sadness occupy her body and mind. The elf princess is here He said with surprise and joy: "Elbereth! Gilthoniel! The evil that Sauron thought was evil has been destroyed, and everything achieved by that power is now disappearing. The elves' responsibilities in this era are about to be completed. Rejoice, elves, rejoice. , Dwarves, rejoice, people of Middle-earth!”
Arwen Eveningstar's voice even overshadowed the wind and snow in the sky, echoing in this vast and desolate far north, and once reached the Iron Mountains at the end. All the elves, dwarves and humans who heard the movement and the elf princess's words cheered loudly.
Turka even turned his head and looked eastward, filled with joy.
So, on June 14, 3019 of the Third Age, the news about Sauron's failure and disappearance spread like the wind throughout Middle-earth. The dark clouds shrouding the east and south are slowly dissipating after a period of distance turmoil.
The enemy realized their fate of failure, and Utumno let out some kind of shrill howl all night long. In the bottomless cave, the towering peaks emitted more blazing fire, and black smoke billowed, covering the sky. The sky blocks out the sun.
On June 17, Aragorn was crowned king in Minas Tirith.
On July 7th, Elrond, Galadriel, and the Hobbits arrived at the White City; Aragorn and Éowyn were married.
On August 10, Frodo and Gandalf left Minas Tirith and returned to Rivendell.
On August 15th, the allied forces of humans, elves, dwarves, and trees swore an oath in Minas Tirith, and headed north to the Lonely Mountain with Aratu Aracanor as their commander.
On September 12, Frodo arrived in Rivendell, and Bilbo Baggins celebrated his one hundred and thirtieth birthday, equaling Old Took, the oldest among the Hobbits.
On September 20, the Central Continent Allied Forces arrived at the Nuyin-El-Lodgon defense line.
Ten days later, on the first day of October, the coalition troops passed through the vast and desolate Flode area and reached the Iron Mountains. The Battle of Utumno breaks out.
On that day, all the kings of Middle-earth gathered in front of the Udun Valley. Countless ancient and glorious flags were lined up in front of the formation. Flag bearers and heralds galloped endlessly from west to east; trumpeters kept blasting trumpets. Kings and their generals gathered under their respective flags, wearing exquisite armor. Even in the snow and wind, it shines brightly.
According to an excerpt from "Dragonborn Emperor: The Third Era: The Last Battle", on that day, the order of the kings from west to east was the green-edged white deer banner of the Ellinvorn people, the royal banner of the Turin dwarves, The white swan banner of Lund, the white ship and starlight banner of Orofenwë, the dragon-winged king's banner of Turka Aracano, the king's banner of Galadriel and Celeborn, the green king's banner of the Woodland Kingdom, Gang Duo's one-tree seven-star crown banner, Rohan's green background and white horse banner - because Treebeard and his people adopted an ancient and rough parliamentary system, they did not fly the so-called king's banner. Nor do they need to.
In addition, Aratu and his brother, Noratu Arakanor, Glorfindel, Lord of the Golden Flower, Gmir of Gray Harbor, Findin II of Khazad-dûm, the envoy of Manwë and the leader of the generals Eonwe and others also gathered under the command of their respective leaders. Everyone has clear armor, spears and swords like a forest, bows and crossbows like rain, and morale like a rainbow.
Then, as a warm westerly wind blew from the other side of the sea, the terrible celestial phenomenon of the Iron Mountains in the far north of Central Continent, where wind and snow were always blowing, and the sky was dark, suddenly brightened. The wind stopped, the snow melted, and in the distance the The Pangshuo Mountains, forever shrouded in fog and snow, suddenly appeared in the eyes of the generals and soldiers. In the sky, after countless epochs, Yareen's light once again scattered on this permanently frozen land.
Therefore, everyone in the Central Continent Allied Forces knew that the power of the Western Powers was coming here at this moment.
A huge cheer broke out among countless soldiers, and the power that burst out even reached the depths of Utumno's deep cave; all the evil things hiding here were all affected by this full of hope and hope. Guangming's shouts were so shocking that he shivered and couldn't help himself.
Then, the silver-white king, the greatest and most glorious among the kings, emerged from the crowd, and the sound of the hoofbeats of Holy Spirit Nahar clearly reached everyone's ears. So gradually, the expected chaos subsided. All the troops began to move in unison: the dwarves stopped banging their shields, the humans put down their spears, the elves stopped squinting, and the trees stopped shouting.
"today."
Turka Aracano's voice sounded like thunder: "Witness the most holy Ilúvatar; witness the Valar of the West! Today, the era ends; today, the era begins!"
The next second, a thundering war cry suddenly erupted, and the battle began.
The soldiers, who were like a vast ocean, marched forward to the rhythm of drums, and the sound of their advance made even the earth tremble. In past battles, these war drums have struck fear into enemies before they even saw their presence.
In the sky, Manwe's envoys, the Great Eagle Clan, also came to help in the battle. Together with Smaug, the giant dragon who was blinded in one eye, they launched a fierce aerial battle with the enemy's dragon in the air.
