The roots of the Order lay in the Lore of the original Inhabitants of eastern Eriador, especially Rhudaur.After the Fall of Beleriand many refugees had returned to Eriador and made themselves rulers of related tribes.One of these Tribes was known as the Arvandor and ruled what was later known as the Trollshaws. When the Númenóreans returned to Middle-Earth and the Elendili started to colonize Eriador they fought the Dark Cults that had evolved in Rhudaur at the time and subjugated the Arvandorian Tribesmen, but diverse superstitious traditions survived amongst the Eriadorians.

In the 13th century a man called Balsha the Prophet appeared in Eriador, preaching a new religion. He was quite sucessful in winning adherenty to his strange cults among the Men of Angmar and Rhudaur. After the Men of Eriador became more and more alienated with their Dúnedain Rulers, Angmar arose and claimed itself a free Kingdom. As Angmar had not been officially a part of one of the three Kingsdoms, its claim was widely accepted or at least tolerated by the three rivaling Kings of Arthedain, Cardolan and Rhudaur, everybody hoping to have Angmar as a possible supporter rather than a rebellious province drawing attention and military forces from more important areas. Balsha´s teachings and the ancient traditions became the foundation of the Cult of the witch-priests of Angmar, who served a strange pantheon of Spirits.Their Head was a man called by the Name "the Angûlion", a high-priest first serving as formal Ruler of Angmar. About the year TA 1300 the Angûlion revealed the Witch-King as a prophecised King, who after ceremony, became the absolute Ruler of Angmar, with the Witch-priests as his Enforcers, Agents and ruling caste. The Angûlion was assisted by three to five high-priests, the Gûlmathaur, and three to six high-Generals or Mornarturi led by a chief-Mornartur, every Mornartur again was assisted by five Ashâkturi (Ang.: "Marshals") who each commanded two Burzâkturi (Ang.: "Lieutenants") everyone of whom commanded four Grîshakturi (Ang.: "Captains").
