Dol Guldur | Haunted Hill of Sauron
This video portrays the history and events surrounding Dol Guldur, a fortress located in the forests of Greenwood in the fantasy world of J.R.R. Tolkien.
The fortress was originally known as Amon Lanc and was the capital of the Woodland Realm, but it was taken over by an evil presence known as the Necromancer.
Some believed that the Necromancer could be one of the Nazgul, but Gandalf thought it may be Sauron, the enemy who had returned to Middle-earth after being defeated in the War of the Last Alliance.
The Necromancer fled from Dol Guldur after an encounter with Gandalf, but returned to the fortress after a period of four centuries known as the Watchful Peace. Dol Guldur's shadow and the darkness brought the forest surrounding to wither and become a place of dread.
Gandalf later confirmed that the Necromancer was indeed Sauron who was eventually forced to retreat from the Haunted Hill after the White Council led by Saruman attacked the fortress. Soon he sent the Nazgul to reoccupy the fortress and rebuild it as a stronghold of darkness for the War of the Ring.
During the War of the Ring, the forces of Dol Guldur launched a devastating assault on the northern lands, including the enchanted forest of Lothlorien and the realm of Thranduil in Mirkwood. The Elves of Lothlórien and Mirkwood fought bravely against the orcs, but the influence and strength of Galadriel were key factors in the eventual defeat of Dol Guldur and the end of Sauron's reign of darkness in the north.

I love how Galadriel is silent but deadly. She is the great Elven fart. In RoP, they show her as just a warrior, when in reality she's as powerful as any Maiar.
This is awesome! I like the TV documentary style. Needs more maps though. Maps for battles are awesome.

Thank you for your response! I appreciate hearing your thoughts. Using map can certainly make it easier to cover a large portion of text quickly and much simpler for me. Although many channels use it, I personally haven't utilized it much in my work. However, after hearing your and few others positive experience with it, I will definitely consider incorporating it in my future work. By the way, I even created banners and small armies on a 3D satellite Middle-earth map, but I didn't end up using them 😄
