- ~Morgoth's Revenge; or, the Battle of Sudden But Inevitable Flame (#FirstAgeProblems)
In Which Morgoth Pulls Out All the Stops, Fingolfin Goes Fey, Orcs Go Hither and Thither, More Men Show Up, and Húrin Comes Into His Own. This is it, folks. Morgoth has had enough of being quarantined. Sure, he prefers lurking in his basement, what with that blasted Sun soaring across the sky each day. But he'll be damned if he has to stay cooped up with all his Orcs down there while all those Elves frolic through his forests unmolested. That's right, his. Remember, Morgoth crowned himself King of the World once. As far as he's considered, the Children of Ilúvatar are all just squatters. [More]

The location and people are mentioned only a handful of times, usually just as another of Gondor's enemies...Other than this, really all we know is that Khand was a land southeast of Mordor, and that the Variags are one of the peoples that lived there.
