Necklace of Stone[]

The necklace of stone refers to the systems of forts and towers that run parallel to the main trade routes in the Lone Lands. These fortresses were built in order to bring order to the region and drive out the gangs of bandits that ran the Lone Lands for hundreds of years.

These fortifications served as city centers and areas for trade that allowed for the ushering in of a period of prosperity in the region. The many Large fortresses acted as cities housing hundreds of inhabitants and providing defensive and offensive capabilities to the Dunedain rulers that called this area their home. The different forts all acted together to help repel invaders and when the forces of Angmar descended upon them they came together one last time. Many of the lesser forts like Weather foot were completely destroyed while the larger fortifications like Ost Guruth, Naerost and Weathertop remained, albeit in horrible condition.

Today the Necklace of stone is in ruins and their shattered fortifications serve as homes to the very bands of raiders and orcs that they were built to repel. The broken walls and crumbled towers now serve as a stark reminder as to the awful power that the forces of darkness are able to unleash.
