ARMY OF DOL GULDUR
Army List
See Steven (Azog) and Graham (Nazgul Khamul) for this Army
The army of Dol Guldur was a diverse force of Orcs, Trolls, Goblin mercenaries, Warg Riders and Ogres commanded by Sauron. Also the Easterlings allied with these forces. During the events of The Hobbit, the army, led by Azog, fought in the Battle of Five Armies to seize the Lonely Mountain, and it was composed of Orcs from Dol Guldur and Mount Gundabad, along with Goblins, Wargs, and War Trolls. During the War of the Ring, the fortress served as an important strategic outpost again, with forces including Orcs, Wargs and Trolls, eventually being attacked and destroyed by a combined army of Elves and Dwarves after Sauron's final defeat.
