Greenway 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 Greenway stretches as a long, grass-choked artery running from north to south, intersecting the Great East Road at the crossroads near Bree. Originally known as the North-South Road, it once served as the primary trade route connecting the twin kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor, facilitating the movement of armies, messengers, and merchants across the vastness of Eriador. In the present day, however, the name reflects its current state of neglect; the ancient stone paving has largely disappeared beneath a thick carpet of turf and wildflowers, and the once-bustling thoroughfare has narrowed into a lonely track frequented more by wild animals than by men.

As the road wanders through the empty lands south of Bree, it passes through a landscape dominated by silence and the crumbling remains of a forgotten civilization. Without the protection of the old kings, the route has become increasingly perilous, as the shadows of the wild have reclaimed the surrounding hills and thickets. While the Dúnedain still patrol portions of the path to keep it clear of the most malevolent threats, most travelers avoid the Greenway, fearing the bandits and strange creatures that are rumored to lair within the ruins that line its path.
