Story
On the morning of March 10, 3019, The Dawnless Day began. Sauron sent forth a large mass of dark, foul clouds to cover the lands of Gondor. Sauron's purpose was to spread fear and uncertainty among his enemies, as well as to aid his servants; it was said that dread was one of his greatest weapons. The forces of Mordor arrived on two fronts: the army of the Lord of the Nazgûl came forth from Minas Morgul, and the other up the river Anduin from Umbar; mainly the ships of the Corsairs with Haradrim and Easterlings. On March 13, 3019, the Siege of Gondor began, and on the morning of March 15, the Army of Rohan arrived with 6,000 riders.
