In briefanswer capsule

The King of the Dead travels with a host that fills the land with fear. At the Grey Company’s approach folk douse lights, shut doors, and cry that he has come. Past Tarlang’s Neck into Lamedon, dread goes before them to Calembel on the Ciril, found deserted: many left for war, the rest flee to the hills at word of him. The Dead follow the company on into Mordor’s storm-dark.
