"There was a road paved with white stone running on the outer brink of the fosse. Along this they went westward, with the city ever climbing up like a green cloud upon their left; and as the night deepened more lights sprang forth, until all the hill seemed afire with stars. They came at last to a white bridge, and crossing found the great gates of the city: they faced south-west, set between the ends of the encircling wall that here overlapped, and they were tall and strong, and hung with many lamps."

—Fellowship of the Ring

This is a custom map made for Edain Mod.

Caras Galadhon (pronounced /ˈkaras ˈgalaðon/) was the chief city of Lothlórien, at the center of the whole forest.

In the Naith of Lórien, the heart of the Silvan Elven realm, it was built in the middle of, on top of, and out of the Mallorn trees that Galadriel have received from Tar-Aldarion, the seventh High King of Númenor, and was thenceforth the residence of Celeborn and Galadriel.

This map has been designed to fight with Mordor or Isengard (in the camps) and Lothlorien(in the fortress). It will work with other factions but has been optimized for the above mentioned purpose. 

Features

Mordor and Isengard can gain additional building plots by cutting down the giant Melian trees by simply attacking them. Once the tree is destroyed a building plot will appear in its place.

The player also has access to three Eregion Forge from which they can research heavy armor for most of the units. This is not normally available for the Lothlorien faction.

The Lothlorien player has also access to a wide network of platforms on which they can perch archers to shoot down the enemy.

Special Buildings

The Isengard player can, if he wishes, claim a special Isengard outpost located in the mountain. However he must first pass over the Lothlorien Warriors guarding it. Once claimed, by killing the banner carrier that guards it, it can be used to summon Isengard Orcs for free and some of Ugluk's scouts.

Special Units

The Lothlorien player has access to a huge roster of units that are not normally available in the Lothlorien faction. This include Elven Mounted Archers, Goelydh Rochyn (Rider of the Noldor), Border Guard (similar to Haldir's ability but as recruitable battalion), Hirth o Gil-Galad (Gil-Galad's Guards), Avari from Mirkwood and Guards of the Path at various locations.
