King of the MountainsThe lord of the White MountainsA title for the rulers of the Men of the Mountains, at least in the closing years of the Second Age. Their people had traditionally served Sauron, but at the time the Exiles of Númenor appeared in Middle-earth, the Dark Lord had been absent from Mordor for many years.1 Soon after the foundation of Gondor, the King of the Mountains met Isildur at Erech, and there swore an oath of allegiance. When Sauron arose again and launched a war against Gondor, Isildur called on his allies for aid. The new2 King of the Mountains would not join the war, and so Isildur cursed him and his people to wander the world until their oath should be fulfilled. Thus the last King of the Mountains became the King of the Dead, haunting the Paths of the Dead throughout the Third Age. In the War of the Ring, he aided Isildur's Heir Aragorn, and thus the King and his people were finally released from their ancient curse. Notes
