The time is the 15th Year of the Fourth Age. A new Fellowship has been dispatched from Rivendell by King Elessar to find the missing Dunadan sage Belemir, and on their quest the heroes have discovered an unspeakable evil from a forgotten age. They pursued Morgoth's Angril to Rhun, where they led the Men of Dorwinion to victory at the battle of Galleth's estate. In the new chronicle, the heroes attempt to track Belemir across the Far East.

However, upon arriving they find the town besieged by the Easterlings of Golaric's tribe, out for revenge against the people they blame for stealing their sacred tribal totem.
