And it happened that when Arathorn and Gilraen had been married only one year, Arador was taken by hill-trolls in the Coldfells north of Rivendell and was slain; […]

The Lord of the Ring, Appendix A

The Coldfells are a biome located to the east of the Ettenmoors, south of Angmar, west of the Misty Mountains, and north of the Lone-lands. Aragorn's grandfather Arador was slain by a troll here. The Coldfells are very similar to the Ettenmoors, except that they are less mountainous, have denser spruce tree coverage, and have maple trees. At night the land is home to Gundabad orcs, trolls, and Hill-trolls. Troll hoards and ruined Dúnedain towers spawn here.

Upon entering the Coldfells, the player earns the achievement "The Wild North".

Structures[]

The Coldfells are a barren land, but among the spruce trees and piles of various kinds of brick, a few structures do spawn:

Mobs[]

During the day these hills are populated by wolves, elk and bears, besides the usual butterflies and rabbits, but the following mobs also spawn at night:

  • Gundabad Orc - Orcs from Mount Gundabad in the Misty Mountains allied only to themselves. They use random pieces of armour and equipment from various orc and neutral sets.
  • Gundabad Orc Archer - Gundabad Orcs with bows and arrows.
  • Gundabad Warg - Wargs (giant wolves) allied with the Gundabad Orcs. They can be ridden by Gundabad Orcs or archers.
  • Gundabad Uruk - Powerful Uruk-hai who have left their old homes for the Misty Mountains, and now fight for Gundabad. They wield cleavers, waraxes, and bludgeons.
  • Gundabad Uruk archers - Gundabad Uruks armed with orc bows.
  • Trolls - Massive, strong, and unintelligent creatures that wield clubs and turn to stone in the sunlight.

Additionally, with conquest, Hill-trolls, Angmar Orcs, Angmar Wargs, Rangers and Rivendell Warriors can also spawn.

Conquest[]

Coldfells can be conquered by Angmar, Gundabad, Dúnedain of the North and High Elves. The conquest rate is 1.0.

Mining[]

Like with many mountain foothill biomes, gemstones are 1.5 times as common underground in the Coldfells as compared to most biomes, making mining here quite profitable.

Vegetation[]

The Coldfells are covered with average grass and flower growth. This montane series of fells and hills are forested with the conifers spruce, larch, fir, and pine, along with the broadleaf maple and oak trees. It is considerably more diverse than its north-western counterpart, the Ettenmoors.
