Disaster at the Gladden Fields by Bilbo's Historical Archives
Preface
It is told that Isildur after the Battle of the Last Alliance sought to return to his father's old kingdom Arnor which now lay
ruins, never to be refounded until the return of his heir, king Elessar; decision which was manly influenced by Isidur's new born fear of Mordor.
Not only did Isildur carry the hope of rebuilding that which was lost but also carried something that would bring terrible fear and failure to his plans,
that one thing that burned Isildur's soul bounding itself to him, relinquishing him of any other thought. So Isildur set out from the Kingdom of the Seven Stars to head thru
Rivendell straight to Eriador. A few days it took and the king along side his kin--Elendur, Aratan and Ciryon--reached the river banks of
Anduin; making the fatal decision of not crossing the river Isildur said that it would be better to cross the river more up-stream;
all followed for in those days after so many dealings with the Dark Lord, and his "departure" there was nothing to fret, all lands
and corners of Middle-Earth where safe... a thought that would never come true until the day that hope would be carried on the
shoulders of a hobbit.
