Angmar back in it’s hay day used to be the place where dungeon-crawling raiding end-gamers would spend most of their time during the “good old days” of Shadows of Angmar. This region offered many ways to spend your time running through quest, dungeons/raids, hunting for ore, wood, and beryl shards.
