Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pants" data-source="post: 1292927" data-attributes="member: 8849">Maybe instead of the Witch King, the Mouth of Sauron returns to trouble the lands of the West.  I got the impression that he was never 'dealt with' properly in the series.  Perhaps, with the failing of Sauron's power, the Mouth seeks a remedy for his rapidly failing sorcerous powers.A couple more ideas:- There could still be Balrogs and other terrors of Morgoth living in the dark places of Middle Earth.- The Grey Mountains north of Mirkwood are still considered a very dangerous area.  Orcs, Evil Men, and maybe even Dragons dwell in the dark peaks.  The Grey Mountains are also littered with old Dwarvish mines.  Perhaps the dwarves seek to reclaim all that was lost to them during the days of Sauron and expeditions are sent to all of the old sites.- Barad-dur, Cirith Ungol, Mount Gundabad, and Dol Guldor are rife for dungeon crawling expeditions.  Just like Morgoth's fortress of Angband, perhaps the deepest, darkest cellars of these places remain even after the fall of Sauron.- Rhun.  Who knows what's in Rhun, Easterlings, magical cults, strange beasts.- The Path of Cirith Ungol.  Shelob still lives and perhaps the Mountains of Shadow begin to multiply with her spawn.  Mordor itself is still likely crawling with fell things.</blockquote>
