The Last Bridge Battle of Five Armies & The Third Age of Middle-Earth The current year for our Middle-Earth campaign is set during the year of 2946 of the Third Age. Inspired By J.R.R. Tolkien

The Last Bridge stands as a lonely, three-arched span of stone, marking the easternmost reach of the Great East Road before it ascends into the shadowed heights of the Trollshaws. Crossing the rushing waters of the River Mitheithel, also known as the Hoarwell, it is the only reliable passage for miles in either direction, bridging the gap between the desolate Lone-lands and the untamed wilderness ahead. Though its builders are lost to time, the bridge is a enduring relic of the Dúnedain of Arnor, its massive foundations having withstood centuries of neglect and the freezing floods that pour down from the Ettenmoors.

In the current age, the bridge is a place of profound stillness, frequently veiled in the damp mists that rise from the deep river valley. While the road leading to it has fallen into disrepair, the bridge itself remains remarkably intact, thanks in part to the silent vigilance of the Elves of Rivendell and the Rangers who periodically clear it of debris and minor damage. It serves as a vital strategic threshold; beyond its stones, the land becomes significantly more dangerous, and the familiar safety of the west feels a world away as the path climbs toward the dark, pine-clad hills.
