	Rhudaur
		Rhudaur was the smallest of the kingdoms originated from the break up of Arnor (861 T.A).
		Right from the start of its existence it was unfriendly against the two other successor states and had a bitter conflict with Cardolan over the tower of Amon Sûl and the Palantir associated with the tower.
		The history of Rhudaur is largely unknown, except that the last Kings owed their position to Angmar and were its vassal and thus enemies of Arthedain.

		Since the Witch-king was a vassal to the Dark Lord Sauron, it is presumed that Angmar's wars against the successor kingdoms of Arnor were done at Sauron's bidding.
		The Witch-king conquered Rhudaur, the weakest of Arnor's successor kingdoms, and replaced its Dúnedain king with one of the native Hillmen, a wild tribe of men possibly descended from the "accursed" kin of Ulfang.
		Now under the Witch-King's control, Rhudaur in 1356 T.A. invaded Arthedain and in the attack, Arthedain King Argeleb I was slain.

	The Forsaken Men of Rhudaur ::
		This was denied by Rhudaur, where a dark prince of the Hill-people had seized power and in secret forged an alliance with The Witch-King of Angmar.
		Rhudaur was occupied by evil men, under the command of Angmar and all the Dunedain living in this region were killed or forced to fled to the west.
		Of course he was the one and only Lord of Rhudaur and none could oppose him, but he needed to assign some of his tasks to other members as well, in order to keep up the efficiency of the kinship.

	Good Night, Good Rhudaur
		The region claimed by the Kings of Rhudaur in the middle Third Age extended eastward from the Weather Hills to the Misty Mountains, and south from the Mitheithel (Hoarwell) where it flowed past the Ettenmoors to the tip of the Angle, the land between the Mitheithel and Bruinen (Loudwater) rivers.
		Rhudaur was also probably the location of many camps established by Gil-galad and Elendil during the years they were training and equipping their armies.
		Rhudaur must therefore have come into direct conflict with Angmar, and it may be that the Heirs of Isildur, already diminished in number by their feuds with Cardolan and Arthedain, actually died while fighting Angmar.

		Angmar was founded in 1300 T.A. by the Lord of the Ringwraiths who ruled it as the witch-king.
		The witch-king took over Rhudaur, the weakest of Arnor's remains by supplanting its Dúnedain king by a native Hillman.
		In 1356 T.A. Rhudaur invaded Arthedain on Angmar's bidding and its King Argeleb I[?] was slain but with the help of Cardolan Arthedain managed to hold the defence perimeter at the Weather Hills[?].

	ME-PBM 1650 Nation: Rhudaur
		While the armies of Rhudaur are adequate to defend their borders, they are lacking in discipline and consist of large numbers of mercenaries.
		Rhudaur stands prepared to declare allegiance, but it must not appear that way, since both allegiances need Rhudaur's help to survive.
		Rhudaur's best chance of staying neutral is to manipulate the Free Peoples and Dark Servants into conflict, without involving themselves - until the time is right.

	TolkienWiki: Rhudaur
		Less hospitable and fertile than other parts of Eriador, Rhudaur was bounded upon the north by the troll-infested Ettenmoors, upon the east by the MistyMountains, upon the west by the Weather Hills, and upon the south by the Angle (where the Greyflood forked into the Loudwater and the Hoarwell).
		Relations among the three kingdoms (Arthedain, Cardolan, Rhudaur) were fractious, particularly between Rhudaur and Cardolan, who contested Amon Sûl and the Weather Hills (because of the palantir that was kept there).
		But northern Rhudaur remained wild and dangerous for the rest of that Age: Arador was slain here by hill-trolls in 2930, and his son Arathorn II fell in battle with Orcs in 2933.

		Rhudaur was the smallest of the 3 Kingdoms bordering the land of Angmar, dwelling of the Witch-king.
		Rhudaur was never in possession of any of the Stones and therefor did not keep much contact with Cardolan or Arthedain.
		Being in battle with Rhudaur over the possession of Amon Sûl and the palantír from the start, this state was eventually attacked by Rhudaur and its new ally - Angmar.

	Charting the Shire lines
		The Harfoots migrated over the High Pass and settled in Rhudaur, presumably between the Mitheithel and the Weather Hills, although they could also have settled in the foothills of the mountains and the northern lands which had not yet fallen into evil.
		So in all probability the Hobbits of Rhudaur remembered the tales of their grandfathers which led them to migrate west in the first place, and they must have had a few debates over whether the evil had followed them across the mountains.
		Tolkien doesn't explain why Rhudaur had to be destroyed but it may be there were enough people left there who resisted the Witch-king's influence that he decided to do away with them once or for all.

		Our Hobbit adventurer's travelled through Rhudaur and saw the ruins of the castles from which they ruled that land, and Bilbo also passed through old East Angmar returning from Erebor, though we have no accounts of that land from him.
		Another land they came to inhabit was Rhudaur, the smallest of the three kingdoms into which Arnor had split in 861 T.A. It lay between the Weather Hills, the Ettenmoors and included the Angle formed by the rivers Briunen and Hoarwell.
		The spread of trolls and undead into Rhudaur and the worsening climate of East Eriador probably kept the folk of Angmar hungry for the better lands to the west.

	1650 Rhudaur
		Rhudaur is a one of the few positions to never have "placed" in a game of me-pbm (Winners and Losers in Middle-earth, Tom Walton, "The Mouth," #8).
		Should Rhudaur join the Dark Servants, her population centres are more vulnerable to attacks from both Cardolan and the Dwarves than those of the Witch-King.
		The more substantial cost was the evisceration of the military might of Rhudaur, and the opening up of it to subsequent attack, both by the military of the Witch-King and Blind Sorcerer, but also to their corp of emissaries.

		After Eärendur, owing to dissension among his sons their realm was divided into three: Arthedain, Rhudaur, and Cardolan, Arthedain was in the North-west and included the land between Brandywine and Lune, and also the land north of the Great Road as far as the Weather Hills.
		Rhudaur was in te North-east and lay between the Ettenmoors, The Weather Hills, and the Misty Mountains, but included also the Angle between the Hoarwell and the Loudwater.
		Both Rhudaur and Cardolan desired to posses Amon Sûl (Weathertop), which stood on the boarders of their realms; for the Tower of Amon Sûl held the chief Palantír of the North, and the other two were both in the keeping of Arthedain.

		Though, several of the strongholds of the kingdom had succumbed through treachery, the Witch-King's plans did not work on the tower held by Marendil, whose men's loyalty was unswerving.
		However, as the stones responded best to those of Elendil's line, or appointed by one of the line, invariably the mystics of Rhudaur and Cardolan had to be approved by the arthadan King, who would bestow the privilege.
