	== Final Abandonment of Itharil ~~in the Third Age~~ ==		== The Final Abandonment of Itharil ==
			After [[Lord of the Rings/History/The Ring of Power\|Borlan Thornfall II became a Nazgûl]], Lethrain entered a long decline. Families left Itharil as the Ring’s shadow lingered over the royal halls. Orc raids and unnatural apparitions drove more people from the surrounding lands, and the former capital slowly became a collection of isolated neighborhoods among spreading ruins.

	~~The city of Itharil~~, ~~once the thriving heart~~ of ~~Lethrain, had long since fallen into decay by~~ the Third Age~~. After the corruption of the ruling line~~ by ~~a Ring~~ of ~~Power,~~ the ~~kingdom entered a slow decline~~. ~~The people of Lethrain~~, ~~once proud~~ and ~~prosperous, began to leave the capital as the dark influence of the Ring spread throughout the land. Orc raids, coupled with strange occurrences tied to~~ the ~~supernatural, drove many from their homes, and Itharil became more of a ghost city than a capital~~.		Over the centuries, Itharil’s buildings crumbled and wilderness overtook its walls. A small population endured through most of the Third Age, supported by descendants of the Lethrain Rangers. Few outsiders visited, and even fewer knew the city’s history.

	~~Over~~ the ~~centuries, Itharil’s once-great buildings crumbled, and its walls were overtaken by~~ the ~~wilderness. Those who remained became haunted by strange apparitions~~, as the ~~presence of~~ the ~~corrupted ruler’s spirit lingered~~. ~~The city’s isolation and the growing shadow of Sauron’s forces made it a place of fear~~. ~~Only a few brave souls~~, ~~including rangers like Darethor’s ancestors~~, ~~ventured near its~~ ruins.		During the War of the Ring at the end of the Third Age, increasing Orc activity from the Misty Mountains finally forced the remaining inhabitants to flee. Itharil was fully abandoned in T.A. 3019. Its empty streets, overgrown towers, and haunted royal quarter became dangerous ruins known only to rangers and students of forgotten history.

	~~In the final days of the Third Age, during the War~~ of ~~the Ring, Itharil was fully abandoned. What few~~ inhabitants ~~remained fled~~ as ~~darkness crept ever closer. The city was left to rot~~, ~~its streets overrun by creeping vines and the eerie echoes of its former grandeur~~. ~~The legend of Lethrain and its once-glorious city faded from~~ memory~~, its ruins now a dark~~ and ~~dangerous place, known only to those familiar with~~ the ~~land’s ancient history.~~		The flight of Itharil’s last inhabitants ended Lethrain as a living community, but not as a lineage. Its memory and the surviving branch of its ruling house continue through [[Lord of the Rings/Characters/Darethor Thornfall\|Darethor Thornfall]].

	~~The abandonment~~ of ~~Itharil marked the final death of Lethrain’s legacy. Where once a peaceful kingdom thrived, only shadow and ruin remained,~~ its ~~cursed history buried beneath the overgrown stones~~ of the ~~forgotten city~~.

== Final Abandonment of Itharil in the Third Age ==

The city of Itharil, once the thriving heart of Lethrain, had long since fallen into decay by the Third Age. After the corruption of the ruling line by a Ring of Power, the kingdom entered a slow decline. The people of Lethrain, once proud and prosperous, began to leave the capital as the dark influence of the Ring spread throughout the land. Orc raids, coupled with strange occurrences tied to the supernatural, drove many from their homes, and Itharil became more of a ghost city than a capital.

Over the centuries, Itharil’s once-great buildings crumbled, and its walls were overtaken by the wilderness. Those who remained became haunted by strange apparitions, as the presence of the corrupted ruler’s spirit lingered. The city’s isolation and the growing shadow of Sauron’s forces made it a place of fear. Only a few brave souls, including rangers like Darethor’s ancestors, ventured near its ruins.

In the final days of the Third Age, during the War of the Ring, Itharil was fully abandoned. What few inhabitants remained fled as darkness crept ever closer. The city was left to rot, its streets overrun by creeping vines and the eerie echoes of its former grandeur. The legend of Lethrain and its once-glorious city faded from memory, its ruins now a dark and dangerous place, known only to those familiar with the land’s ancient history.

The abandonment of Itharil marked the final death of Lethrain’s legacy. Where once a peaceful kingdom thrived, only shadow and ruin remained, its cursed history buried beneath the overgrown stones of the forgotten city.
