Description
The Northern Waste, softback supplement for MERP 2nd edition
“Forodwaith, the Northern Waste, is a land like no other.
Home and refuge to the Lossoth, its vast tundras, unconquered
mountain ranges and ice-mantled bays irresistibly beckon the
bold and the adventurous. Here, at the ends of Middle-earth, the
traveler may behold wonders and terrors beyond compare.
Join the iceberg-dwelling Sea-hunters as they stalk the mighty
whales of Forochel’s bay, waging a never-ending battle for
survival against the elements. Explore the cyclopean ruins of
Morgoth’s ancient domain—the Rifts of the Underdeeps, the
Stairs to Hell, the Threshold of Angband and the volcanic crater of
Morgoth’s Well. Brave the arctic cold of the Landless Land, where
none but the mysterious Snow-elves dare to tread, seeking the fabled source of Helecthil, the radiance of the night sky at the summit of the world.
But beware, for ice and snow are not the only perils of this
forbidding land. Foul legacies of Morgoth—Orcs, Trolls, dragons
and other horrors—prowl their ancient homelands still. The
dreaded Sled-horde, merciless minions of the Witch-king of
Angmar, raid and plunder the Lossoth year after year, relentlessly
hunting down any who refuse to pay worship to the Dark Lord.
Jäänainen, Siren of the Ice, and Eloeklo, Demon of the North
Wind, haunt the wintry wastes, hungering after the blood of the
Free Peoples.
Yet there is hope that Forodwaith may one day become free of
the unnatural banes it has suffered under the ill-will of Morgoth and
his successors. The Valar, the immortal powers that govern the
world for Good, have not forgotten the Northern Waste—
Yavanna the Earth Mistress weeps for the Wounded Land, and the
power of her tears contends ever with the poison of Morgoth’s malice, while Irmo the Lord of Dream speaks through visionary portents, giving counsel to those who would redress the land’s hurts; together, they summon champions to their cause, to lend aid in a mystical quest of cosmic proportions. Dare you join in that quest?”
