This room used to be the main armoury of the Army, added as the Army expanded its operations in this area of Middle Earth. This room was once filled with racks of armour and chests packed full of powerful weapons, maintained by a diligent troll retained for this purpose.

Only the more powerful and established soldiers had access to this room, and full use was made of these facilities with well equipped raiding parties heading out regularly to cause havoc on the citizens of Shire and Gondor.

Little remains from these days of glory for the Army, as looters have long since removed anything of value. Amongst the broken weapons and corroded armour that now lie upon the ground, you find three parchments that appear to have been cared for through dark sorcery, as they remain untouched from the ruin in the rest of this room. These parchments are lists written by soldiers or stolen by them from others, telling of the weapons and armour that can be found within the realms of Genesis.

If you wish, you can consult these lists, although since they have been lying here for a long time, their accuracy cannot be guaranteed:

• Bildor's Club and Shield list.
• Ecila's Polearm list.
• Kehr's Axe list (maintained by Pallas).

If you know of any other books or lists of armour and weapons in Genesis, you can mail the Mouth of Sauron and suggest their inclusion in this room.

Once you grow bored of looking through this room and the books of weapons and equipment, you can head west to the board room of the Army.

Alternatively, if you know where you wish to head within the halls, you may consult your site map to take you straight there.
