Angband wasn't a thing in the 1st Age. But yes, we'd need different MWE amounts; the smallest HQs should have 30, 000 minimum.
It was, though you might know it as Thangorodrim. It was Morgoth's fortress.
Sorry, I just realized what Angband is - I was confusing it with Angmar. Also, wasn't Thangorodrim a different fortress? I thought there were two; Thangorodrim under Melkor (later destroyed) and Angband under Sauron (later under Morgoth after the fall of Thangorodrim).

I think Sauron's was in Minas Tirith, not Angband. Obviously not the Minas Tirith of the Third and Fourth Age.

Angband is the underground fortress itself, the Thangorodrim are the three massive volancic peaks above the entrance to the fortress.
Morgoth's original fortress was Utumno. Angband was built farther west in the Iron Mountains as an outpost to watch for attacks from Valinor and was placed under Sauron. Utumno was destroyed by the Valar during the War for the Sake of the Elves, as was Angband, but not completely. When Morgoth escaped from Valinor he returned to Angband, where Sauron had been gathering evil preparing for Morgoth's return, and Morgoth made it greater and built the Thangorodrim above it.

I get the impression I'm not nearly nerdy enough to join.
Then we'll teach you. :tounge:
But worry ye not, we accept people of all levels of nerdhood.
Great. Well, I'm pretty well-versed in the stuff that directly pertains to the Hobbit and LotR books, and I know a little about the origins of Sauron, Morgoth, and the Istari. Aside from that, I know nothing. I don't even know what Age LotR takes place in, although I assume it's the fourth.

Not well enough it seems LotR takes place at the end of the Third Age, but the Fourth Age begins when the Ring is destroyed, so technically you are right
