They are Bag End, leading against the Brandywine Bridge by 88% to 12%; Lothlorien thrashing Mount Doom with a lead of 84%; and Bree is proving to be no match against Hobbiton, only managing to secure 14% of the vote. Valinor is also cruising to another easy victory, currently leading by 83% to 17% against Nargothrond.<\/p>\n<p>It is of course the close battles which are most interesting. Right now the Misty Mountains are only 2% ahead of Beorn&#8217;s House, so that duel could go either way! Mirkwood is ahead of Lake-town, but by only\u00a058% to 42%\u00a0&#8211; so get over there and vote if you want to see Esgaroth turn that fight around. The margin between the Halls of Mandos and Angband is similar; Morgoth&#8217;s fortress is giving the home of elvish souls a run for its money, so far managing to claim 41% in the poll. Numenor likewise has 41% against Gondolin; if you&#8217;d like to see the men of the West pull out a victory against Turgon&#8217;s city, you&#8217;d better vote now!<\/p>\n<p>In the match-up which actually replicates an event from the books, Fangorn Forest has business with Isengard&#8230; And so far, the result is as you would expect: Fangorn leading with two thirds of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>Round 2 closes at 10pm EST tomorrow, Monday 25th. So don&#8217;t delay\u00a0&#8211; only you can decide which locations go through to Round 3 of Middle-earth Map March Madness!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sideshowpolling.survey.fm\/middle-earth-march-madness-2019-round-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VOTE NOW!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sideshowpolling.survey.fm\/middle-earth-march-madness-2019-round-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to Vote Now<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Middle-earth Map March Round 2 is underway &#8211; and here&#8217;s how this round is unfolding thus far.
