No Man's Child  by anoriath 1 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 53 on 2/5/2020
A terrible homecoming for him, to find his son dead and his wife now barren and his daughter uncertain what to think of this stranger she's not seen. And to find that someone sought to fire the hall--that is a horror he must still face. No, the years in which he sought Gollum have not been good either to him or his people.

Author Reply: You're right, they have not.

I could only imagine that Sauron wouldn't want to expend much energy in reducing the North to something that couldn't put up a fight, but he wouldn't have to. They were so worn down already, it wouldn't take much. Fire up the volcanos in the mountains of Angmar, and the resulting cloud cover would reduce their food supply so much that the stress would quickly break down their society.
