the kingdom of Arnor is utterly destroyed concluding the campaign. Epilogue The game's epilogue level opens with a cutscene explaining that after the final defeat of Arnor at the hands of the Witch-king, its sister realm of Gondor can not look away any longer. Gondor and the Elves convene a meeting with the King Eärnil's son Eärnur representing the men of the south-kingdom. The two forces form an alliance with the intention of eradicating Angmar's forces and destroying its realm before it dominates the remainder of Eriador. The Elves and Gondor march under one banner. In the end, the Elves and Gondor are victorious against the forces of Angmar. Carn Dûm is destroyed, Morgomir, Karsh, and Rogash are slain, the Witch-king's army is decimated, and the Witch-king himself is driven off from his lands. He is pursued by Eärnur, but the Elf-lord Glorfindel calls out to him as the game ends with the line: Critical reception The game received favorable reviews from critics.
