Description

"Carn Dûm" is a perilous scenario where heroes confront sorcery and undead in Angmar's fortress to halt an ancient evil's return. Key mechanics include: - *Narrative progression* Heroes advance through eerily quiet, darkened hallways after breaching outer guards. - *Undead combat* Battle wraiths, witches, and other fell creatures pervading the fortress and catacombs. - *Dark magic threats* Face reanimated dead, including potentially fallen fellowship members turned against the living. - *Cooperative heroism* Accompanied by Elves and Dúnedain, push to prevent evil's resurgence amid raging external battles. Carn Dûm, a scenario from The Dread Realm, immerses players as Middle-earth's greatest heroes allied with Rangers of the North, Elves, and remaining Dúnedain. After fighting through outer defenses, they enter the fortress's cold, lonely hallways—contrasting the outer chaos—to make a final assault against Angmar's evils. Filled with terrible sorcery, these halls conceal wraiths, witches, and reanimated dead, including possibly players' own fallen comrades, as heroes strive to thwart an ancient evil's return, rooted in Tolkien's lore of Malvegil's era and Angmar's rise.
