	== The Rise of Borlan I ==		== The Rise of Borlan I ==
			Around the middle of the Second Age, the region that would become [[Lord of the Rings/Locations/Lethrain\|Lethrain]] was wild and divided. Borlan, born among its nomadic clans, became known for his cunning and charisma. He ended their feuds, united them as one people, and founded the kingdom of Lethrain.

	~~In the twilight~~ of ~~the Second Age~~, the ~~region that would become Lethrain was a wild and untamed land~~. ~~Borlan~~, ~~born among the nomadic tribes, was known for his cunning~~ and ~~charisma. He united~~ the ~~warring clans into a single people, forming the kingdom~~ of ~~Lethrain~~.		'''Founding of Itharil:''' Borlan’s greatest achievement was Itharil, a fortified city built on cliffs overlooking the river Lithon. Under his rule, Lethrain prospered through trade and alliances while remaining neutral in the greater conflicts of Middle-earth.

'''The Lethrain Rangers:''' Borlan established an order of rangers to protect the kingdom’s borders.

	~~Borlan’s rule brought prosperity and strength to Lethrain~~, but ~~his death marked~~ the ~~beginning~~ of ~~its decline. His legacy, however, remained strong in~~ the ~~hearts~~ of ~~the people, and his name was spoken with reverence long after the kingdom fell into ruin~~.
