With Sauron's shadow lifted from the north, the task of rebuilding begins — but the legacy of Dol Guldur refuses to fade quietly. Strange corruptions linger in Eryn Lasgalen, and Thranduil's Elves must hold the line against hidden threats. The Men of Dale and Lake-town rebuild against the threat of Easterling raiders, while the Dwarves of Erebor defend their trade routes. The Black Book of Mordor continues with Chapters 5 and 6, drawing players deeper into the mysteries surrounding Dol Guldur and the last remnants of the Necromancer's power.
