Great Plague (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Great Plague began in the east beyond Mordor, reaching Osgiliath in 1636 of the Third Age, just a year after King Minardil of Gondor had been killed at Pelargir by the Corsairs of Umbar, and only two centuries after the Kin-strife of Gondor. Enedwaith and Dunland were scarcely affected, but the Plague regained strength as it went north, and Minhiriath (the southern part of Cardolan) was especially hit hard. The Plague had first hit Rhûn and Rhovanion, and after it had passed more than half the folk of the Kingdom of Rhovanion had been killed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Great_Plague_(Middle-earth)   (305 words)

Gondor - The Plague swept through most of Middle-earth, reaching the successor states of Arnor and the Hobbits of the Shire in the North.

Both the Byzantine Empire and Gondor were echoes of the old greatness of the earlier Roman Empire and the old united kingdom of Elendil, respectively. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Gondor   (2582 words)
