SEVEN GATES
MAELDUN SECURES SEVEN GATES; THE WATCHER ESCAPES OVER THE MOUNTAINS. |
Sunday December 7, Seven Gates
The Watcher drove his army without rest through the fleeing remnants
of Rabican's forces and into Seven Gates. We are there now, inside
the pass, where he then clashed with The Deceiver on his way east.
The bodies of the undead are everywhere, melted and broken. It
seems inconceivable that anything could have survived.
I don't know why he attacked The Deceiver, unless somehow he found
out what was going on in Silvermines. One of the veterans said
that these two had it out after the battle for Tyr, twelve years
ago, and that the Watcher barely survived. I have a feeling the
real reasons for what happened today go back even farther than
that.
Whatever the case, while the battle raged only a few miles away
and we thought the Watcher was coming for us next, I was glad
nobody had asked me to carry his damned arm.
It looks like the volcano will keep Seven Gates open through the
winter, so Maeldun is sending out patrols to retake the pass.
The Legion's growing fame seems to draw danger like a bright candle
attracts moths, and if any of the enemy survived the floods and
fighting I'm sure we'll be the ones to find them.
So ends the seventeenth year of the war. |

Notice the volcanoe in the background, it's thawed the countryside
and turned it into a steaming mudflat. |

If you win this level you see the remains of a fetch and a thrall who have killed eachother..
If you lose you see that fetch and thrall finishing off some injured survivors.
Level Origins
Reprinted from Tolkien and Myth. John Miller found this in Lord of the Rings.
"To start: From the third page of "The Return of the King," comes
this text, "'Yea truly, we know you, Mithrandir,' said the leader
of the men, 'and you know the pass-words of the Seven Gates and
are free to go forward...'" There is more to that, but that's
the important part. Seven Gates, hmm, where have I heard that
name before?"
But, exactly what are the Seven Gates? |
Written and compiled by the Myth Nontoxic crew. |
Found anything we've missed? Got a theory that fits? Have a correction to make?
Please post it in The Asylum so others can add their ideas and thoughts.

Legends and Lore is really Forrest's baby, though Gholsbane probably does more work on it nowadays. It also contains a lot of work from the Myth Nontoxic days whose exact authors have been lost or forgotten. Some of these lemurs include Joshstar, Orange, Lacrymosa, and poena.dare. Original "Journal of the Legion" concept by poena.dare and Hamish Sinclair. Other authors are credited as appropriate in their individual articles.
