Although no longer the dominant force in western Middle-earth, the nation of Northern Gondor still controls a large domain extending north from the White Mountains, east from Rohan, west from the land of Mordor, and south of the Falls of Rauros. The blood of the Dúnedain runs rich here, and the leaders of Northern Gondor are well-seasoned veterans of numerous foreign conflicts. Led by the Ruling Steward Ecthelion II, their armies are well-provisioned and supplied, and aspire to reach their former glory once more. Many strong cities and fortified towns are scattered across their realm, and several navies help maintain Gondorian interests along the Anduin and a 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.
