after nearly 4 years since I start to thinking about this project (and 2 years of building) , I am in the end of the journey, so let me introduce my largest creation "Siege of the city of tharbad"

 

Fans of LOTR know this city probably... and because I am a big fan of LOTR and also of Castle, I decided to make my own small fiction to LOTR world and put this fiction to the event during War of the ring

 

Tharbad was founded by Numenor colonists in 2nd age. After fall of Numenor it becomes part of Northen kingdom of men - Arnor. When Arnor broke in 861 TA , tharbad belongs to Cardolan. In 1409 TA, Witchking of angmar destroy Cardolan, but Tharbad survive. In tolkiens books, tharbad was destroyd by Great flood in 2912 TA.

In my fiction Tharbad after fall of kingdom of arnor in 1974 TA still exists as independent city state and great flood in 2912 TA destroy only eastern part of the city.

 

In my fiction during the war of the ring, Sauron´s forces from Gundabad attacks the city (16th february, year 3019 third age). To help the besieged city comes Rohirim leaded by king´s Theoden son - theodred. also gondorians from Dol amroth came to help (lead by Imrahil) and some elves too. Orcs were defeated, and thanks to this, Sauron´s forces from gundabad can not join saruman´s forces from isengard to help them attack Rohan.

 

Few days after battle of Tharbad Sarumans´s orcs together with wild people from dunland attack rohan´s army in first battle on fords of Isen. Theodred suffers heavy wounds and later died in edoras - this is how it describes j.R. tolkien in his books
