Nan Amlug East is an area within the North Downs, in the north-eastern region.

South of Angmar and along the southward road to Rhunenlad, this area is covered by a mix of towering groves and billowing hills. In its utmost south-western corner lies a secret and narrow mountain pass to Esteldín, and north of those mountains this area proceeds into Nan Amlug West. Huge but harmless hoar-mantles are roaming this area, as well as wargs and Rauta-lehmä, giants living in camps at the east-most outskirts. Recently Hill-men have set up camp in the north, near the gates into Angmar.

The Rangers of Esteldín are concerned with these new residents and that the Earth-kins, allies of old, are stock piling armaments and routing it far and beyond. The Rangers are also protecting and helping their allies, the friendly Suuri-lehmä giants of Rusfold who are in the midst of a war with their former kin that have pledged their service to the Iron Crown. Hence, many quests aim at thinning ranks of the enemies and recovering armaments. Minor services are found at Rusfold.

Three paths connect to Angmar from this area:

• The west-most path leads into hostile worm and drake nesting grounds. ^{[6.0S, 40.8W]}
• The middle and safest path leads to Lehmä-koti. ^{[6.0S, 39.0W]}
• The east-most and longest path runs through several Hillmen encampments in Ost Crithlanc to Ram Dúath. ^{[7.0S, 33.6W]}
