As you go forth from the Old Forest toward the Misty Mountains, beware the Dead Spire - for it means you have crossed into the Barrow-downs. Frodo, Samwise, Meriadoc and Pippin nearly met their demise here when they were overcome by the Spells of the Barrow-Wights, who would surely have sacrificed them to the Evil One - had not Tom Bombadil popped in and kicked some Barrow-Wight a--.The Dead Spire is one of many familiar landmarks players will encounter in Turbine's upcoming MMORPG, Lord of The Rings Online:Shadows of Angmar. Although few but hard-core Tolkien fans would know it, the Barrow-Downs were originally raised by the Edain - men of Numenor who established the northern kingdom of Arnor and later tended by their descendants, the Dúnedain of Cardolan. When Sauron sent a plague across Middle-Earth, the last of the Men of Cardolan perished. It was after this that the Witch-King of Angmar sent forth his spirit-minions to profane the dead who rested there - thus making the Barrow-Downs the place of horror it has become.
When players see the Dead Spire, they'll know that the Barrow of the last Prince of Cardolan - where the Ring Quest nearly ended before it began - is not far away.

Technically, the Men of Tharbad (who may or may not have been Dunedain) were the last Men of Cardolan.
