| | Reappearance of Evil and the Necromancer Lord of the Rings Fanatics Library |
 | | Apart from the Úlairi, and the growing shadow of Dol Guldur, there was yet another potent of returning evil in the first half of Third Age. | | | All those were sure affects of Sauron’s returning, and signs that an evil power had once again arisen, yet the power in Dol Guldur was identified for certain as him only in 2850, when Gandalf again entered Dol Guldur. | | | This, as it turned out afterwards, was not true, but it was not ungrounded: Ulairi, the Ringwraiths, returned to Middle-earth early in the second millennium of the Third Age. |

| | The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - [White Council] When the White Council attacked Dol Guldur... |
| | Also, he was in all likelihood not physically present at the Dol Guldor attack. | | | Btw, this also explains why Elrond and the other elves were not shown as being directly involved in the assault upon Dol Guldur. | | | This may be something that is incorrectly implied in The Hobbit, but I can't think of anything anywhere else that says that he was there or would even needed to have been there. |

| | The hill of Dol Guldur was originally called Amon Lanc, the Naked Hill, because it was bare of trees with a stony summit. | | | The evil power that occupied Dol Guldur was known as the Necromancer. | | | Thrain had the last of the Seven Rings of the Dwarves, and Sauron tormented him and took it from him. |

| | Dol Guldur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | During the War of the Ring, the forces of Dol Guldur made three assaults upon Lórien, causing grievous damage to the outlying woodlands, but were driven back each time by the power of Nenya which only Sauron himself could have overcome. | | | In 2850 Gandalf again entered Dol Guldur, finding the dying Thráin, and Gandalf was entrusted the map and key to give to Thorin Oakenshield, although Thráin could not tell him his own or his son's name before he died. | | | Dol Guldur was established by Sauron after his return to Middle-earth somewhere after 1000 Third Age, although his identity was long unknown. |

| | REVIEW: Acid Ice Flows - "Dol Guldur" |
| | The music of Dol Guldur is a dark and melodic synth-goth that would likely entice the most hesitant swirly goths to the dancefloor at a club. | | | He also has a much nicer singing voice, vaguely reminiscent of Rogue from the Cruxshadows. | | | While the songs are certainly not going to hit on the dancing needs of the EBM/synth crowd, the music definitely has that dancey edge. |
