Although no longer the dominant force in western Middle-earth, Northern Gondor still controls a huge domain extending north from the White Mountains, east from the Gap of Isengard, west from the land of Mordor (with outposts still evident in Rhovanion), and south of Mirkwood. The blood of the Dúnedain runs richest in Gondor, and the leaders are well-seasoned veterans of both foreign and internal conflicts. Led by King Tarondor, their armies are well-provisioned and supplied, and have even begun to reach their former proportions once more. Many strong cities and fortified towns are scattered across this vast realm, and several navies help maintain Gondorian interests along the Anduin and the route to the sea. The source of greatest concern for the people of Northern Gondor is not their own strength, but rather the extensive realm they must protect, and the many enemies who reside on their borders.
