The Citadel of Guard

[vanya]

Arwen stared in Ilmares eyes and nodded. "This time I believe you," she said. Than she turned to Murazor and waited for him to continue to speak.

[~Tom~]

"That you my lady" he said nodding to arwen for allowing him to talk again and said " Because the enemy now controls Rohan, this could cause problems, who is she trying to cut of , Gondor from Arnor and Rivendell, or Gondor from Arnor, and Rivendell,, the reason i do not mention the east for attack is because its gonna be a lot harder to surroound you , there is 4 reelms after all"

[Ilmare]

"Things have just changed. You might say, you got a new neighbour in this moment. Arnor, Enedwaith and Rivendell on the west side of the mountains against Moria, Angmar and Angrenost along the mountain." She looked at King Envinyatar and Lady Arwen. "We can deal with them, if you can deal with Khand, Rohan and Mordor. And for that you can deal with them, I will give you all information I know and you may find handy."

[~Tom~]

" An di guess Mirkwood and Lothlorien could deal with Moria, though im unsure of there alliegence , we could use that agaist them just in case" he said looking at Ilmare, she seemed to Know what she was opn abnout, after all she was in there inner circle.

Arwen looked from Murazor to Ilmare. "What do you know, Ilmare? And why do you betray your alllies? I don't doubt, that you do, but I like to understand."

[Ilmare]

"I know that Megloren controlled Eomund. Well, not difficult to figure out for you, too. I know about a plan to exchange Legolas little girl friend against the Lady of Mordor. Do you want to hear more and in detail? I tell you, I was there to hear it.
They plan that Angrenost will aid Angmar in the initial seige on Annuminas. Yes, Arnor shall fall first. They want to tease and threaten Doren as long as he can't help himself to attack. Further Rohan and half of Enedwaith are supposed to hold back Gondorian reinforcements - well, thats not gonna happen like this anymore. Mordor and Khand will come from the south through the Gap of Rohan to help those forces of Angmar and Angrenost in Arnor as well as the other half of Enedwaith.
That also is not gonna happen anymore, since Enedwaith will be active fighting on Arnors and Gondors side. They think that the only other ally of Doren will be Rivendell. They might be surprised when they try.

Why do I betray my allies? I just hate Megloren. And I don't want her to take one Realm by one, manipulating the others like she does already, and growing to the mightiest threat in Middle Earth. I want her death. I don't even want her for my joy, I just want her hang up to dry."

Arwen looked to her husband, waiting for his respond.

[Envin]

A light had taken hold of Aragorn's eyes as he heard the tale of the angered Ilmare, and he readily accepted her defection to the side of the Free Peoples.

"Time is short, then, if thou sayest be truth. Let us quickly make plans for the defense of Middle-Earth. Yet we have forgotten some few allies. The Dwarven leaders, Gimli at the least, should be willing to ally with us. I know he would fight at my side. Ashuron, disclose to us the course of action thou tout, and we shall hear and judge it. Little have thou led me astry in the past - little shall thou do it now, I trust. We must ready all our realms, for it is my belief that now, knowing what we know, we must act upon it, and wait not for their first blow. Soon, I fear, it is likely evil shall know of Ilmare's treachery, and they shall speed their plans. So must we. Angmar and half of Angrenost against Arnor and Rivendell, is it? Then quickly we must send word to Gimli and Kili to come with all speed over the Misty Mountains to the aid of the north. Rohan and the remainder of Angrenost, with all the hordes of the east against my White City? Lorien has been overlooked, it seems, and the warriorhood of the people of Ashuron will be fanned to flame at the loss of their prince. And now, with Enedwaith's host to stay the tide, much may yet be done.

I repeat: we must act. Now, ere their plans are full ripe. Ilmare, when is the host of Megloren to depart Angrenost, that they may aid Angmar is assaulting Rohan? Perhaps once it passes north, war may be brought to Rohan and Angrenost ere they are prepared...but, come Ash! Let us hear thy plan!"

[Ilmare]

"They plan to make Doren strike first. Than they attack him from all directions. The hosts are ready and prepared, they just wait for the moment."

[Envin]

"I see. Then he should sit quite still, methinks. Of course, we shall wait to hear what Ashuron bethinks himself, but the Dwarven realms should come down from the passes of the Hithaeglir and make for Annuminas with Rivendell once the battle is joined. I have sent for Legolas, and for Gimli, who is sojourning in this City, that they may aid our council and Gimli shall take word to Erebor and the Iron Hills concerning the plight of the west. Force them to move first, we should. Off balance they will be if we act as they do not anticipate, and then we shall have them."

[Faron]

Ashuron drew out a map of middle-earth that he had purchased in the lower city on his way to the citadel. The map mislabled his home as "Lotlorien," but at least it got all the locations right. "Lady Ilmare of Enedwaith, you have no idea how important the imformation you have brought is. Doren, under no circumstances must you attack! Have your men brace for the impact of the sudden storm that shall come. Now, these enemies of ours are likely to bundle their forces into one giant army and sweep through our lands. The mountains and Moria are the key, we must figure out whose side they are on, because they will allow us to keep half our enemies on one side, and most importantly, keep Angmar allyless. Now, what I'm proposing, is that we act quickly, to catch these realms off guard. Gondor should split its army into two groups, one group to join Lothlorien, Mirkwood, and the Iron Hills in an assault against Rohan, Isengaurd, and Mordor, and the other half to aid its kinsmen in Arnor in defence. Rivendell and Erebor should go to Moria and discover whose side this Garland is really on, and impose new ruler ship if required. Now, this is just the first draft of the plan, does anyone have anything to add or take out?"

[Ilmare]

(Dammit, please forget this post! Ilmare can't know. I got confused with who knows what. So please ignore this Garland/ Lord Garland stuff from me.)

[Faron]

"Lady Ilmare, which realms remain our enemies? In order to do anymore planning, we must know how many armies we have versus how many our opponents do."

[Ilmare]

"Rohan and Angrenost are the opponents in this matter, no doubt. But this two might be no to big threat after all whats going on. Even Angmar is beginning to turn against Megloren. If there is succeed, you don't need to fear her anymore. Mordor and Khand will remain a problem so far. For the rest, do your own count."

[Morsereg Dîndaedel]

"To backup her claims, my Lord Aragorn, and Lady Arwen," A voice came from the doorway as Morsereg entered, "You have my word aswell," He kneeled before them, "Megloren will fall. I assure you. Lancir is my friend, he will not side with Megloren in this matter. Moria and Mordor, however, are questionable as to where their loyalties lie." He showed that he was unarmed, so as to not attract any unwanted attention, "We shall get her to believe we will attack Arnor, and then our revolt happens. I send my Barrow-Wights, to both Isengard and Rohan, and Ilmare here sends to where she deems fit. If we can get the cooperation of Khand, Mordor, and Moria, then we shall have them protecting our realms from a counter strike."

"Without the aid of Arnor or Gondor, Megloren can not hold back the Barrow-Wights. Her armies will perish." He smiled, plotting.
