Galadriel agreed with Gandalf that something was amiss and some time later when the Company of Thorin Oakenshield was about to enter Mirkwood, Galadriel spoke to Gandalf through his mind told him to investigate the High Fells of Rhudaur where the ringwraiths had been buried. The Morgul-blade was suspicious enough as well as the fact that the Necromancer had chosen a fortress so close to the Gladden Fields where the One Ring had been lost so many years ago. This information did not suffice for Gandalf as there was enough evidence to make him worry that the enemy of Middle-earth had once again returned. Gandalf warned the White Council of the findings in Mirkwood and showed them the Morgul-blade but Saruman dismissed the Necromancer as a "mere human dabbling in Black Magic" and nothing more. Radagast fled the fortress to find Gandalf the Grey and warn him. He then saw the Necromancer in the distance, an inky black and green mist speaking in black speech. He fought the Witch King of Angmar in the fortress and managed to steal one of his Morgul-blades. He encountered the Great Spiders before investigating the fortress itself.
Gandalf didn't see the Necromancer due to the spell of concealment that the sorcerer placed on the fortress.ĭuring the Quest for Erebor, Radagast the Brown began noticing the sickness beginning to sweep through Mirkwood and began to investigate. Gandalf the Grey entered Dol Guldur at some point and found Thráin who gave him a map of the Lonely Mountain and a key to the hidden door of Erebor to give to Thorin. The Orcs eventually took him to Dol Guldur where he was driven crazy over time. Īfter the Battle of Azanulbizar, Thorin's father Thráin was taken by Orcs from Moria and was believed dead by many of his kin. He began to grow in black magic and Great Spiders, spawn of Ungoliant, began to breed in the cess pits of the fortress, spreading darkness upon the wood around Dol Guldur. Sauron made Dol Guldur his abode after his returnĪt some point after his defeat during the War of the Last Alliance, Sauron the Dark Lord of Middle-earth returned in astral form and took up residence in Dol Guldur. The Elves began to increase tension with their kin, the Elves of Lothlórien, and retreated north, making the borders of the Woodland Realm much smaller. It is unknown how the fortress was built, whether the Elves of Mirkwood built it or some other civilization but the fortress was known to be occupied at one point by the Elves of Mirkwood.
