 | | Yet, there was no one among them who thought of ever returning to Rhudaur, and so The Forsaken lived their lives in exile. | | | In exile in The Coldfells, the true people of Rhudaur awaited their return, for they knew that time had to come soon. | | | Now, Rhudaur was freed from The Witch-King’s reign of Terror. |

| | So in all probability the Hobbits of Rhudaur remembered the tales of their grandfathers which led them to migrate west in the first place, and they must have had a few debates over whether the evil had followed them across the mountains. | | | Quite possibly, the last King of Rhudaur and his heirs may have died in battle trying to stem the tide. | | | All that we know is the Tale of Years says "the Periannath migrate westward; many settle at Bree" for the year 1300. |

| | Relations among the three kingdoms (Arthedain, Cardolan, Rhudaur) were fractious, particularly between Rhudaur and Cardolan, who contested Amon Sûl and the Weather Hills (because of the palantir that was kept there). | | | Around 1300, the Witch-king established the realm of Angmar and began to wield his influence, and the quarrel of the Hillmen with Arthedain and Cardolan intensified. | | | Less hospitable and fertile than other parts of Eriador, Rhudaur was bounded upon the north by the troll-infested Ettenmoors, upon the east by the MistyMountains, upon the west by the Weather Hills, and upon the south by the Angle (where the Greyflood forked into the Loudwater and the Hoarwell). |

| | THE TOLKIEN FORUM - Arnor and Gondor |
| | After Eärendur, owing to dissension among his sons their realm was divided into three: Arthedain, Rhudaur, and Cardolan, Arthedain was in the North-west and included the land between Brandywine and Lune, and also the land north of the Great Road as far as the Weather Hills. | | | The fact that there was enough dissension amoung the sons to cause the division of the realm of Arnor into three petty kingdoms would seriously lessen the chances of the survival of the once great realm of the Dúnedain in the north. | | | Both Rhudaur and Cardolan desired to posses Amon Sûl (Weathertop), which stood on the boarders of their realms; for the Tower of Amon Sûl held the chief Palantír of the North, and the other two were both in the keeping of Arthedain. |
