Nan Gurth is an area within Angmar in the northeast region.
This barren valley is void anything resembling plant life; instead, the landscape consists of rocky ridges and craggy spires. I can reached by the western areas of Gorothlad, Himbar, or Imlad Balchorth. At the center of this wasteland, visible from any part of the valley, is Barad Gúlaran, the palace of the Witch-king. One would be foolish to expect to find the king here, however. In his stead are many of his servants. Amarthiel, Champion of Angmar, being one of them.
Surrounding the towering fortress are 8 lesser towers which connect to the main palace by bridges like the spokes of a wagon wheel. Each of these towers holds servants of the different factions under the Iron Crown. Four of these towers, Minas Agar, Minas Angos, Minas Caul, and Minas Maur, hold emissaries of factions wishing to form allegiances with Angmar that if formed could prove Angmar unstoppable. Only by way of the southeastern tower, Minas Deloth, can one reach the main palace in the center.
The hills and ridges surrounding the fortress are covered in all manner of vile creatures from wargs to spiders. The further northeast one travels, the more dangerous the enemies become. Giants, gaunt men, drakes, and worst of all, wraiths can be found guarding the passage through the Gate of Gath Uior into the Rift of Nûrz Ghâshu.
There are no services within Nan Gurth itself, lending to its credibility of being a dangerous wasteland. The nearest services can be found in either Myrkworth, Gath Forthnír, or Iorelen's Camp.
