| | TolkienWiki: Cardolan |
 | | Because of disputes among his sons, the Kingdom of Arnor was divided into three--but the histories do not recall the names of the Kings of Cardolan or Rhudaur. | | | The history of Cardolan proper begins in 861 of the ThirdAge, on the death of the HighKing? | | | But in 1636 the Great Plague claimed the life of the King of Gondor, and withered the White Tree. |

| | Cardolani Succession: External Politics |
| | Cardolan's one true enemy is Angmar, led by the fearsome Witch-king (and has been for the last three centuries at least). | | | There are various mercenary groups in Cardolan which all add up to form a major military power, not that they necessarily have that much loyalty to the country as a whole. | | | Marroc is a man of mixed Common and Dúnadan blood who has fought in most of Cardolan's various armies. |

| | Regarding House Cardolan |
| | It is imperative that a Ranger be a student of lore and be able to communicate his knowledge in a meaningful way to the world around him. | | | Lore Masters are those among the House who possess the mastery of history pertaining to Middle Earth but wish to not participate in all or some of the physical activities. | | | Whether to become a Ranger or Lore Master for the House Cardolan one must demonstrate an advanced knowledge of the Tolkien world. |

| | Cardolan: In the continuing wars between the forces of light and dark, or good and evil, if you prefer, people need protection and healing, sometimes in very out of the way places. | | | Cardolan: There’s absolutely no need to be so blunt my dear man. I’m getting there, aren’t I? Simpkin: Please forgive me. I wasn’t meaning to be rude. | | | Cardolan: I can hardly wait, tell him I’ll be out in a while. |

| | Cardolani Succession: Internal Politics |
| | However, even in the height of Cardolan's power, the Crown had to rule with the consent of the nobility, although no-one would think of openly challenging the Crown's authority. | | | Nimroth is, on paper, the most powerful man in all Cardolan. | | | She only survived by virtue of being in Gondor at the time. |

| | The One Ring: The White Council :: View topic - The Rise and Fall of Calimendil, Fifth King of Cardolan |
| | The death of the king and his sons, and the subsequent expulsion of the Queen at the hands of the rival princes served as a catalyst to plunge the country into a maelstrom of confusion and corruption. | | | Their king was Celebrindor, a cunning, well-intentioned man. Yet he was callous and over-bearing in his dealings with Cardolan. | | | Tarandil came to detest this man for his unruly behavior and his patronage and fondness for the city of Tharbad, which Tarandil loathed. |

| | Dark things are happening in Cardolan, and what should be a simple piece of diplomacy turns into a desperate war to keep Arvedui's fledgling hope alive, in which only the efforts of the players can possibly prevail... | | | Arvedui therefore sends, with his own people, a group of diverse outsiders- Elves from Rivendell, Dwarves from the Mountain, humans from the world over, maybe even Hobbits; people who have come to Fornost and sympathise with their plight. | | | If the scattered Lords and peoples of Cardolan can be persuaded to accept Arvedui as their King, then Arthedain and Cardolan will re-unite into the new, re-born Kingdom of Arnor. |
