CONGRATULATIONS psteelman1, iBeRoberto, AND kbkwick ON BEING THE FIRST FELLOWSHIP TO FIND THE TOMB OF THE WITCH KING OF ANGMAR!
This geocache is NOT at the posted co-ordinates, but it is somewhere within a 2-miles radius of them...
"When Angmar fell, the Men of the North took his body, and all that he possessed, and sealed it within the High Fells of Rhudaur. Deep within the rock they buried him, in a tomb so dark, it would never come to light."
The High Fells are a high and barren landscape located north of the Trollshaws within the boundaries of the old kingdom of Rhudaur, near the source of the river Hoarwell and south of the Coldfells. In the mountain range above its moor-covered hills lies Angmar's Grave. Described more as a prison of the dead than as a grave, it is the ancient crypt in which the Men of Arnor entombed the bodies of the nine Nazgûl after Sauron's defeat in the Second Age.
Radagast the Brown: This is not a nice place to meet.
Gandalf the Grey: No, it is not.
Radagast: These are dark spells, Gandalf. Old, and full of hate. Who’s buried here?
Gandalf: If he had a name, it’s long since been lost. He would have been known only as a servant of evil. One of a number. One of nine.
