To put this in context, some events that have 'just occurred' in Middle-earth are: 2941, The events of 'The Hobbit'; 2951, Sauron declares himself openly and begins the rebuilding of Barad-dur; 2953, Saruman withdraws to Isengard, which he takes for his own and fortifies; 2954, Mount Doom bursts into flame again. From this point on, what happens is up to you!
