I always figured it was the Nazgul wandering about... since there was the mention of the freezing of hearts, and that put me in mind of the Black Breath... Also, the Nazgul have a way of laying towns in ruin, or at least corrupting them beyond repair... Minas Ithil, for example?

There's also Barrow-wights, but could they leave their barrows and lay a town in ruin? Or am I taking Aragorn's comment too literally? Aaah, Aragorn... he's probably my favourite Tolkien character, you know, other than Feanor. Anyway, onward...

Other than that, I just figured it was some mysterious evil thing. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Something that was intended to be mysterious? It added to the mystery of Middle-Earth for me...

I am so sorry for using the word "mystery" or variations thereof three times in three sentences... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
