Summary

Main article: History of the Angle

The Angle is a wooded area between two rivers in the north-east of Eriador and south of the Great Road. This region was once part of the kingdoms of Arnor and Rhudaur, which built now-abandoned villages and fortresses in its north. The Stoor hobbits lived in the south for some centuries before eventually migrating to the Shire. Today it is inhabited only by the last of the Northern Dúnedain, who have created hidden farms and villages.

Architecture

Most houses are very rudimentary log cabins, usually with foundations of cobblestone. Roofs are made of thatch or turf. Some houses feature a simple veranda.

Agriculture

Many inhabitants of the Angle live a semi-pastoral lifestyle, leading their herds of sheep or cattle during the summer and returning to their homes during the cooler months.

Culture

As these folk are directly descended from the Faithful Men of Númenor, they maintain the old ways and customs. They build no temples or shrines, though in permanent settlements there could be evidence of westward-facing structures in memory of their destroyed home.
