Highland Junction

In TA 1640 Prince Minastir of Arthedain led a contingent of the Royal Army to Highland Junction,an isolated crossing of trails in the Girithlin Highland and defeated a small force of Orcs and wolves in a rare moonlight cavalry charge.He then built a fortified  camp southeast of the junction on the Len Mordo, the trail leading south along the River Minsiril past the Warlord's lair.While  forces sent down from Fornost held this camp and raided south and east against the Warlord's foraging parties, Minastir's long  supply line back to Iach Sarn was guarded by the veterans of his Arthadan Army of the South, Hobbit levies from the Southfarthing, and, secretly, companies of Siranna Elves aided by agents of the Guardians of Lindon.In spite of this protection, bandits and Orcs  had made raids that had done Minastir's plans and forces real harm, and he had begun to suspect that the Regent of Girithlin,  who pledged to support him in this war,  may have been sabotaging him instead.
