Why is northern Eriador (Lake Evendim, Fornost) deserted at the end of the 3rd Age? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

So, anybody have any theories on the abandonment of Annuminas?

I think it was a gradual abandonment, with a final blow coming when the ruling seat was moved to Fornost. They were in need of a fortress as opposed to the picturesque city by the lakeshore. I doubt it would have been in one deciding move to abandon a thriving city.
