Angmar
Angmar is a region found within the land of Eriador.
(Sindarin for Iron-home) is a sickly, inhospitable region accessible only by one of three passage north of the North Downs. A large region made up of varying areas that all manage to still be different shades of barren. In western Angmar two factions of hill-men dominate the region, the friendly Trév Gállorg and the traitorous Trév Duvárdain who have sworn their allegiance to the Iron Crown. Both tribes have several outposts and fortresses, though the Trév Duvárdain are more numerous and powerful, likely in due part to their Angmarim allies. These western areas, while still barren, are considerably more inhabitable than the ones in the east or north. In fact, Ram Dúath bares a very similar resemblance to the North Downs which it borders.
Western and eastern Angmar are connected by way of a yellow, sulfuric swamp divided in two by Rammas Deluon, a wall of Watching-stones which bear a tremendous sense of dread on any not strong-willed enough to pass them. This swampland, while not accompanied by the blood red sky as the rest of Angmar, is still dangerous. Fire-worms, dread turtles, as well as overgrown leeches and flies provide ample challenge for the hill men who hunt out of Tyrn Lhuig.
The valley of the dead, Imlad Balchorth, stands smack center within the region. Absolutely packed to the brim with wights, barghests, and fell-spirits, this is an area so treacherous to which only the most nefarious of Angmar's forces linger. The Gaunt-lord of Pestilence, Ferndúr the Virulent, commands the spirits within the valley, from an islet surrounded by the fell green waters that flow down from Urugarth and Carn Dûm.
Northern and Eastern Angmar are terrible to behold. A large rift dominates the land, filled with massive spiders, deadly wargs, endless hordes of Orcs and in some places, Gaunt Lords, Lithul and Giants. Barad Gúlaran, the former palace of the Witch-king can also be found in this valley, surround by 8 lesser towers. Most of northern Angmar is dominated by the outposts and fortifications surrounding the fortress city of Carn Dûm itself.
Despite all the treachery present in Angmar, a few glimmers of hope still stand. Aughaire, the largest of the settlements in Angmar, is the main camp of the Trév Gállorg and provides the most services one can hope to find in the region. The dwarven mining outpost of Gabilshathûr as well as the hidden command center of the Council of the North, Gath Forthnír also provide refuge from the terrors of the surrounding areas. There is even a friendly tribe of ogres who have small village, Lehmä-koti, within the valley of Ram Dúath. Other smaller outposts are scattered about, providing what meager services and rest possible as they fight back the efforts of the Iron Crown.

Lore
The realm of Angmar was founded in the lands north of the Ettenmoors and between the Mountains of Angmar and the Grey Mountains with the sole purpose of destroying the Dúnedain of the North. The spirit of in the east conducted the Witch-King of Angmar, the lord of the Nazgûl to gather evil men and creatures to destroy the fading Dúnedain.
Soon after Angmar was founded it waged war against the divided Dúnedain realms of Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur. Rhudaur was the first kingdom to fall. Already in Rhudaur the Dúnedain were growing few, and an evil Hillman seized the kingship. [1]
