Editing Minas Aarda Notes (section)

== 2nd Age Rooms ==

Gloun himself was buried next to his father by Brolgan.  The inscription reads, ‘We will not forget your valour though it brought your doom.’  On one of the walls is the lineage of the House of Hamar.  On another, the fall of Minas Aarda to Demogorgon in X and the death of Hamar are depicted.  It shows Demogorgon’s forces from out of the X and the X toppling the Tower.  Below this is a view of Demogorgon killing Hamar, <big>'''Й'''</big>, collecting the Palantir but not noticing his Ring fall to the ground.  A poem is inscribed next to the image:


The Abyss belched up its malevolent host

In those dark years we suffered the most.

And on Amras Aarda the challenge came.

Losing all to Demogorgon’s evil reign.


Bavarik champions our cause,

Leading men, elves and dwarves,

In battle against this almighty foe

All lost, complete is our woe.


Through the mountains of metal and stone

The host plunder, ripping flesh from bone

Findor’s land was first to suffer

Broken, it was torn asunder.


A great opportunity seized:

The Wyrm not appeased,

Comes to Ashore with fire,

Turns Dor into a funeral pyre.


Denied the Bridge of Calahar,

The host turn to the Marsh of Malor

Taranack’s victory at sea in Celin

Forces Evil’s retreat to begin.


To Olga and our noble house it turns,

Findor falls and Minas Aarda burns.

Mighty Hamar dies his Ring lost,

The Palantir was our main cost.


More stairs lead from the centre of each wall; the ones to the X go up and the others down.  X should be the way to go.
