Witch-king of Angmar

As King Arvedui and his advisors expected the Witch-king to strike at Minas Vrûn rather than attempt the well-guarded pass through Annúndir, many of Arthedain’s remaining soldiers had mustered in the southern city, leaving the capital of Fornost Erain undermanned. Now that Ost Nuaran was in the hands of the enemy, they could proceed directly to Fornost, which was not prepared for an attack.

Bregur felt great guilt for the death of Helediril, for he wished only to stop his mother from reporting his misdeeds to the King, not slay her. Lady Helediril was laid to rest among the burial mounds of Haudh Eglan, within the woods of Annúndir which she loved so much in life. He visited her grave many times, though he was always keen to avoid Thorneth when he did so, either out of dislike for his half-sister or fear that she may discover his involvement in their mother’s fall.
