Rise of Angmar
Rogash is first encountered in Angmar fighting a group of Black Numenorians. Believing him to be useful servant due to his ability as a trained swordsmen, the Witch-King and his right-hand man, Morgomir, help the troll. After introducing themselves, the Witch-King asks Rogash why he has come to Angmar, to which the troll replies that he has come to kill the Black Numeorians, who have enslaved the trolls of Angmar, then invade Arnor to the south.
As the Witch-King has come to Angmar to unite it's inhabitants, he recruits Rogash to his cause, and with his help, forms an army of trolls and wolves to fight the Black Numenorians and Gundaband Orcs. The battle ends well for Rogash and his allies, and all of Angmar is united

Siege of Carn Dum
An army of elves from Linden, Rivendell, and Lorien invade Angmar and besiege the Witch-King's fortress, Carn Dum.
