Cardolan stretches from the river Baranduin to the Mitheithel. Its northern border is the Great East Road, but Cardolan also claims the Weather Hills, which contain the fortress of Amon Sûl. Amon Sûl housed a palantír, and for this reason it was also claimed by Rhudaur. This lead to a bitter conflict which continued until Rhudaur became a vassal of Angmar after the line of the Dúnedain failed there.
After the final fall of Arnor, and the destruction of Angmar at the Battle of Fornost, Cardolan remained an almost unpopulated area.
