Led by the Sixth of the Nazgûl, Hoarmûrath the Ice King, the nation represents a formidable and growing force among the Dark Servants. From his main fortress inside Mordor, Hoarmûrath's adept mages and skilled agents have permitted him to maintain constant vigilance and influence over the Ithilien region, while at the same time remaining largely undetected. The Ice King's armies are growing, and pressuring his neighbours is the next step in his plans for expansion. For the rich and poorly-defended lands outside his realm are an attractive goal, and the resource-poor lands of Mordor will not long continue to support the growing might of his forces.
