People and other folk of Middle-Earth had enjoyed two hundred years of peaceful harmony, but in recent months, that tranquillity had been disrupted by various reports of Orcs and goblins venturing beyond their borders of Dol Guldur. Barad-d?r in Mordor had been destroyed when Sauron's ring of power was cast into the fire. But despite the destruction of the Dark Lord, Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, and other despicable creatures of Middle-Earth survived and that old saying, "What comes around, goes around" is now proving to be true once more. Since the battle for Middle Earth was won two centuries ago, Orcs and their evil counterparts learned a valuable lesson: "Don't underestimate your enemy". This is a story about a previously un-heard of powerful artifact that was created by the High Elves thousands of years ago. The Elves call it "The caduceus of oblivion". The Dwarf Lords and Kings of Men call it "The Staff of Destruction". Somehow, the leaders of the three remaining Orc tribes and king of the Goblins have learnt the possible whereabouts of the "Caduceus" and they are determined to seize it and use it to wipe out Man, Elves, Dwarves and anyone or anything that they deem to be their enemy. After King Aragorn died, his son: Ganamede; was crowned 'King of Gondor'. One of his very first acts was to summon a meeting of all the other kings and leaders of Middle Earth. He successfully managed to get an agreement from all the other leaders to form a 'High Council' various high-ranking member from each of the other allied factions were appointed as council members, and each would hold the title of 'Senator'. The Lothl?rien Elves had recently returned from the Grey Havens. The woodland elves of Mirkwood and Fangorn Forest had remained and were granted special status amongst all the peoples and tribes of Middle-Earth. Although the evil of Sauron had long since vanished from Middle-Earth, there were other lesser-known evil doers that remained. One such powerful sorceress was called: 'Zul'. Fifty years before the famous battle of the five armies, Zul challenged Sauron for power over the western regions of Middle-Earth, but she was defeated, and her and her loyal followers fled from Angmar and hid in the vast uninhabited region of Arnor. But! That was then, and this is now, and Zul has returned to the abandoned citadel of Angmar; and it is she who instructed her hordes of evil doers to go searching for: 'The Caduceus of Doom'. People forget, there were and still are, lesser-known powerful artifacts power and evil in Middle-Earth, not as powerful as: 'Sauron's Ring of Power' but just as deadly in the wrong hands.
