Himbar is an area within Angmar in the northern region.
In northern Angmar past the valley of the dead, Imlad Balchorth, and west of Nan Gurth, are these outskirts of Angmar's seat of power. Himbar is an area which serves as a staging grounds and bulwark before travelling further west into Rhunendin and the fortress city of Carn Dûm. Himbar is a barren and nearly lifeless wasteland, what little flora that can be found here is either dead, dying, or rotten.
Along the main road which runs all the way from Carn Dûm to the North Downs in the far southwest, are three bails used by the Angmarim. Bail Cátharnakh and Bail Grundail in particular are each commanded by the Cargûl. And at the foot of Rhunendin Bail Dílas serves as a checkpoint for the force of Angmar travelling into Carn Dûm. Throughout Himbar are found Angmarim, Gertheryg, Merrevail, and spiders, the latter especially at Torech-i-Bogbereth in the northwest.
Hidden within the eastern mountainside of Himbar is the refuge of Gath Forthnír, a bastion of hope and the command centre of the Council of the North lead by the ranger Golodir. Services include a stable-master, milestone, mailbox, Bard, Provisioner, Supplier, and various other vendors, as well as a slew of quest-givers.
