So Sauron gathered to him in the north of middle-earth a mighty army of Uruk-Hai, Orcs and Trolls. The Easterlings were a mighty force now as they had been ferociously trained by Uruk-hai veterans of the great battles in Beleriand.

Sauron was also eager for this as his defeat by the hands of Durin had stirred the embers of a rage so deep and evil that it would have been better for the worlds sake not to have been disturbed. Morgoth had also sent a band of Balrogs to aid the siege as these demons of might needed a battle. In the Vanguard Sauron had prepared a host of Easterling wain riders with great horses who pulled carts covered in sheilds for protection and inside many Orcs were. Then the great Mumakils and Trolls dragged seige engines and artillery such as Iron catapults and horrific Ballistas. And under a huge black covering of leather 2 Mumakils and 4 trolls dragged the most devasting weapon ever devised my Sauron. It was a battering ram. A great iron ram of over 50 feet held aloft by many chains and pulleys. Its head was carved into the likeness of a ravening wolf the eyes and mouth were hollow and inside a fire was set. The ram was named after Morgoths hammer ''GROND'' it was. And as it was pulled its weight carved a trench in the ground. So the Armies of Sauron marched down the Anduin vales and their ranks pressed from the feet of the misty mountains right to the banks of the Anduin as they passed on the western side of it. Whenever the river crossed their path southwards a squad of Orcs would build bridges but they had to be strong and stout for the Grond to pass over them. The wain riders came first and the Dwarven horns sounded indicating they had been spotted. But the Wain riders came and and halted in the Gladden fields and the Orcs leaped out. But Lo! they were not armed with weapons but with spades and digging tools. They immediatley began to dig trenches in a cresent shape closing in on the Easten doors of Khazad-dum. But the Orcs that looked upon the doors were dismayed for they were great-of thich black stone and mithril. But as they looked north and saw the glow of the Balrogs and the cloud of Sauron they contined their work. When they trenches were dug they were filled with oil then sent ablaze and behind these fire pits the siege weapons set up. The siege had begun.
