the day, engaging in the majority
of their activities during the night
time hours, when they are spared the
debilitating light of the sun. Most
training exercises are conducted on
a large, open field, complete with
straw dummies, tilting devices, and
racks for holding various sorts of
weaponry and armour.
In addition to the outpost’s functions
as a training ground and watch
post, various Orc-forces from Mordor
and the Misty Mountains also come
to meet with the Isengarders in order
to devise plans, exchange reconnaissance,
and provision patrols. The mix
of races and allegiances—though all
serve the Shadow in the end—creates
much tension. If not for the power
of the Uruk-commanders, skirmishes
between these groups would undoubtedly
occur much more regularly and
with far greater casualties.

Work camps can be found throughout
the Wizard’s Vale, operating continuously
day and night. Many of
these camps devote themselves to
gathering of wood to fuel the great
furnaces Saruman has constructed
beneath Isengard. Others, however,
work the mines on the slopes of
Methedras, the main source of the
iron ore needed for crafting the arms
and armour for the armies of the
White Hand. A few rare camps are
charged with the assembling of the
ingredients for the Fire of Orthanc
that cannot be gotten underground.
The majority of the camp workers
are Orcs and Hill-men, with some
Half-orcs filling out their ranks.
Half-orc and Uruk overseers command
these workers by tongue and
lash, to enforce the cruel will of their
unforgiving master Saruman.
Work camps dot the landscape
throughout Nan Curunír. These are
torn down or abandoned when they
have deforested or thoroughly mined
a given area, and new ones raised
where resources are more plentiful.
Though several dozen camps may
be in operation at any given time, no
specific locations are denoted on the
map (see page 61), because of their
itinerant nature. The Narrator is left
to determine the specific locations for
work camps at any given time.
A typical work camp outside the
Ring of Isengard is comprised of a
series of tents or wooden structures,
depending on the particular camp’s
intended longevity. Mining camps,
for example, usually remain viable
for longer periods of time, and are
therefore constructed to last for several
months or more. Tents, used
for the shorter-term logging encampments,
are made of thick, grey can-
