Ungol.
March 14 - Sam finds Frodo and they escape.
March 15 - Battle of Pelenor. Win for Mordor against the armies
of the West, but both sides suffered horrible casualties. Death
of Merry and Theoden; capture of Eowyn. Eowyn is enchanted by
a potion and thinks she is in love with the Witch-King, even though
he is her captor. Ashgaz tried to prevent Eowyn from becoming
enchanted by spilling the potion and calling upon the name of
Elbereth. Angmar condemns Ashgaz to a pit of snakes.
March 16 - Khamul asks Angmar to release Ashgaz from the snakes.
Angmar is angry at them both because he was busy with his "conquest
of Rohan." Madurz confronts Angmar with her past, but he
claims he can remember nothing. He causes her to have horrifying
visions of snakes curling about her. Khamul and Ashgaz are also
cursed with fire and ice.
March 17 - Khamul goes on scouting mission over the Pelenor Fields.
He taunts the troops there, but Elfhelm, the captain of Merry
and Eowyn's eored, challenges him. Khamul gives Elfhelm a mortal
blow but in Elfhelm's dying moments, he stabs Khamul in the right
thigh with Merry's blade of Westernsee. Khamul's beast receives
a mortal wound by an arrow and in its death struggles flies many
miles off course, finally landing in the East Emnet of Rohan.

to Lugburz by Shagrat.

Madurz and Ashgaz on the search. Khamul is found, but Madurz and
Ashgaz are left behind after the Witch-King takes him back to

and her senses are restored. She knows then she hates him.

The last shreds of Niethan's sanity come undone and he thinks
he talks to the spirits of the dead. She loses her memory and
thinks she is a girl called Maltriel. Under effects of the potion
and spell, Eowyn thinks she sees Angmar's face, and she thinks
it is the face of Aragorn, whom she loves at this point.
March 25 - Sauron gets the Ring back. Sam becomes a wraith. Boat
journey on the Anduin. Madurz and Ashgaz arrive at ruins of Osgaliath
and go to the east side of the river. They walk up the road towards
Minas Morgul where they are met by orcs. A fight breaks out between
Ashgaz, Niethan and the orcs. The Witch-King lands his fell beast
and takes Madurz back to Lugburz. Ashgaz left behind to supervise
the orcs guarding Niethan. Angmar tells Eowyn that she was from
Gondor, a "vassal state of Mordor." She wants to be
a shieldmaiden of Mordor and fight against the "overwhelming
forces of the West." He gives her something to "help
her sleep" but mixed with the sleeping potion was an increased
dose of the potion that bemuses her mind and makes her think that
he is really Aragorn.
March 26 - Late that night, Number Three comes for Ashgaz and
takes him back to Minas Morgul. Angmar gives Eowyn sword lessons,
but she fails miserably. He tells her that he will have a master
swordsman teach her.
March 27 - Ashgaz is given permission to see his master Khamul
again, but Khamul still rambles about doom, Valinor and judgment.
Madurz walks by the hall and hears him calling and goes in. Khamul
becomes intermittently lucid, but does recognize them both and
then falls into a trance-like sleep.
