	Cardolan - Tolkien Gateway
		Cardolan was a breakaway realm of the Dúnedain kingdom of Arnor.
		Cardolan stretched from the river Baranduin (Brandywine) to the Mitheithel (Hoarwell).
		After the final fall of Arnor, and the destruction of Angmar at the Battle of Fornost, Cardolan remained an unpopulated area until the reestablishment of the northern kingdom under king Elessar at the end of the Third Age.

	Cardolan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cardolan was a successor realm of the Dúnedain kingdom of Arnor.
		In T.A. 1050, the branch of Hobbits known as the Harfoots crossed the Misty Mountains, and settled in the South Downs in the west of Cardolan.
		Until the end of the Third Age, the Dúnedain of Cardolan were only a memory, their tombs and barrows haunted by evil wights sent from Angmar; for the Rangers that wandered over the lands were descended from the people of Arthedain.

	Third Age: Kings Of Cardolan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		When Arnor was divided in three between Earendur's three sons, the youngest took the portion that would become known as Cardolan.
		King Argeleb of Arthedain's claim of overlordship was roundly rejected by King Aldor of Rhudaur, who (due to a break in the bloodline) was not an heir of Elendil and had an secret alliance with Angmar.
		Cardolan ceased to exist in 1412, though in truth it fell in 1409 when a puppet-king was raised by Angmar sympathizers.

	TolkienWiki: Cardolan
		Cardolan comprised the plains and lowlands of Minhiriath, plus all the higher land between the Brandywine and the Hoarwell, south of the Great East Road.
		Arthedain, allied with Cardolan, was forced to retreat, and the remaining forces of Cardolan were obliged to withdraw to the Barrow-downs and the Old Forest; the last Prince of Cardolan died in this conflict.
		Until the end of the ThirdAge, the Dúnedain of Cardolan were only a memory, their tombs and barrows haunted by evil wights sent from Angmar; for the Rangers that wandered over the lands were descended from the people of Arthedain.

	Cardolan - The Lord of the Rings Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		The borders of Cardolan extended from the river Baranduin (Brandywine) to the west, the river Mitheithel (Hoarwell) to the east and the river Gwathló (Greyflood) to the east and south.
		Its northern border was the Great East Road, but Cardolan also claimed the Arthedain-controlled Weather Hills, which contained the fortress of Amon Sûl (Weathertop) and its valuable Palantír.
		It soon became apparent that Cardolan could not hold back the forces of Angmar, and in its last years the people became entrenched in their capital region, Tyrn Gorthad (the Barrowdowns).

	Cardolani Succession: External Politics
		Cardolan is surrounded on all sides by rival powers, all of whom have their own interests and agendas.
		Some look upon the Dwarves as Cardolan's allies and it is true that they have an interest in Cardolan's stability since much of their trade goes through Tharbad and much of their food comes from Dol Calantir.
		Cardolan's one true enemy is Angmar, led by the fearsome Witch-king (and has been for the last three centuries at least).

	ME-PBM Hints and Suggestions
		If I were playing Cardolan I would move Earnil's army towards Cargash hoping to meet armies which it could destroy and destroy any population center it comes across, recruit at all available population centers, and create an emissary.
		Cardolan can build up armies faster than any other nation, and in a prolonged war of attrition, it will come out on top.
		Cardolan's production should be used to generate more income to keep the armies growing.

	ME-PBM 1650 Nation: Cardolan
		The armies of Cardolan are adequate, but lacking in discipline, and consist of large numbers of mercenaries hired to provide quantity if not quality.
		Because of the general lack of quality Emissaries, coupled with their relatively inexpensive Men-at-Arms, large Cardolan armies can be maintained to serve as an effective threat to neighboring neutral or evil settlements, and yet these armies would cost little to maintain.
		The numerous towns and settlements of Cardolan help establish their influence over the strategic region of Eriador and much of their strength lies in the considerable resources available in Eriador for their expansion plans.

		Cardolan accepted this claim, but Rhudaur did not - for in Rhudaur few Dunedain now dwelt, and an evil lord of the Hillmen had usurped power there and had an alliance with Angmar.
		With the end of the Dunedain of Cardolan, the Witch-king sent evil spirits from Angmar and Rhudaur to Tyrn Gorthad to inhabit the deserted mounds and dwell there - these were the Barrow-wights.
		For the next century and a half, the Kings of Arnor continued to hold off the attacks of Angmar with ever lessening strength, until in autumn of T.A. King Arvedui sent a message to his kin in Gondor that Arthedain was in dire straits and the Witch-king was preparing to destroy the Dunedain.

		In Cardolan and Rhudaur, the Dúnedain soon dwindled enough that by 1350 of the Third Age, it was overtly allied with Angmar, the realm of the Witch-King.
		The Dúnedain of Cardolan fought the forces of the Witch-King of Angmar until they were forced to flee to the Old Forest and the Barrow-Downs in the year 1409.
		Cardolan was the region between the Baranduin and the Gwathlo-Mitheithel and south of the East Road.

	TolkienWiki: Arnor
		The royal lines of Cardolan and Rhudaur did not last long, and in ThA 1349 Arthedain again claimed lordship all over Arnor, but was soon attacked by Angmar and Rhudaur.
		Civil war was averted in 861 but the three new kingdoms of Arthedain, Rhudaur and Cardolan did not exist in peace with one and other, whose rulers have succumbed to struggles for power and glory.
		The passing of the Line of Isildur in the latter kingdoms was probably hastened by political marriages for the survival of the crown and by conflict with their vassals.

		Calimendil, besieging the capitol of Rhudaur, is surprised by an Orcish army from Gundabad.

	Council of Elrond :: LotR News and Information
		The Lords of Rhudaur and Cardolan are not named, but the first King of Arthedain was Amlaith, the eldest son and heir of Eärendur.
		Cardolan was in the South, and it was bounded by the River Brandywine, the Greyflood, and the Great Road.
		There were still a remaining few faithful in Cardolan who held off the enemy in Tyrn Gorthad (the Barrowdowns), or were able to take shelter in the nearby forest, but their numbers were few.

		Unable to keep Arnor united he founded in his share of Arnor the kingdom of Arthedain (the other kingdoms were Cardolan and Rhudaur).
		When this new threat came Cardolan placed itself under the suzeranity of Arthedain.
		Cardolan repeatedly sent aid to Arthedain when needed but by 1409 T.A. Cardolan and Rhudaur were conquered by Angmar

		Arnor consisted of Arthedain to the north, Rhudaur to the east, and Cardolan to the south.
		Ever he would complain to Arthedain and Cardolan that Rhudaur was underrepresented at Amon Sul, and he suspected that if his two neighbors continued to prosper together they would unite and plot to overthrow him.
		It was crucial for the future of Cardolan that both the king's heirs maintain a positive relationship with one another after their parents were laid to rest in the tombs of Tyrn Gorthad.

		Indeed, it is only by request of Amariel, the late Calimendil’s widow and rightful ruler of Cardolan, that I have consented to this, for she greatly desired to have the courageous deeds of her husband recorded for posterity.
		The death of the king and his sons, and the subsequent expulsion of the Queen at the hands of the rival princes served as a catalyst to plunge the country into a maelstrom of confusion and corruption.
		During the night the Queen lost consciousness, and on the morning of the eighth day of March Elenarian, Queen of Cardolan, died at last amid a pool of tears and sorrow among all those at court, for she was greatly loved by all.

		Therefore, the King of Arthedain fortified the Weather Hills and fight again broke on the borders; Argeleb himself was slain in battle against the armies of Rhudaur and Angmar in 1356.
		But the days of Cardolan where numbered and when in 1636 the Great Plague raveged Middle-earth, the last of the Dúnedain of Cardolan perished and its territory was utterly depopulated.
		It is said that the last Prince of this unlucky land, killed in the war of 1409, was buried there and that it was in his barrow that Frodo the Ringbearer was imprisoned by one of the Barrow-wight during his voyage towards Rivendell.

	Regarding House Cardolan
		The House of Cardolan ruled the Kingdom of Cardolan after the division of the Northern Realm of Arnor (861 T.A.).
		After the fall of the kingdom (1636 T.A.) a distant remnant of the ruling house survived in Arthedain and afterward maintained the bloodline as Rangers of the North.
		It is imperative that a Ranger be a student of lore and be able to communicate his knowledge in a meaningful way to the world around him.

		Their support would have helped to ensure that Amlaith's younger brothers were accepted among the peoples of Cardolan and Rhudaur, and could have been the chief reason for why Amlaith would agree to a division of his rightful realm in the first place.
		Cardolan, being closer to Enedwaith and controlling the sea-trade which must have passed through Tharbad, had better reason to want to be more like Gondor, or closer to Gondor, than Amlaith and the northern lords of Arnor.
		It may be that the Rhudaurians did not want to be governed by Cardolan, and seeing Amlaith as weak they decided to raise up their own king who would put their own priorities first.

		The game takes place in the city of Tharbad, capital of the ruined Kingdom of Cardolan, and spans a period of several months leading up to the coming of age of the Princess Nirnadel, sole heir to the Cardolani Crown.
		Typically, these are the Lords of Cardolan (the Hiri), representatives of her neighbours or other influential people such as merchants or mercenaries.
		Some will desire power for their own ends; others desire power for the good of Cardolan; while there are those who are simply seeking glory.

		Cardolan was the name of an area in the south of Arnor where some of the exiled Númenóreans settled (ORPTA p291, Simarillion p321).
		Rhudaur was a hilly region in the north-east of Arnor and Eriador and it too was a centre of Númenórean settlement and later became one of the three kingdoms of a divided Arnor.
		The frontier of Cardolan and Arthedain, running along the Weather Hills, the Great Road and the lower Hoarewell, was thenceforth garrisoned in strength by those kingdoms and held in defence for many years.
