Sometime during the Second Age (after year S.A. The NazgГ»l ( Black Speech: Ringwraiths, sometimes written Ring-wraiths), also known as the Nine Riders or Black Riders (or simply the Nine), were Sauron's 'most terrible servants' in Middle-earth. 'From Mordor, Barliman, if that means anything to you.' ' ' 'They come from Mordor,' said Strider in a low voice. Men who received the Nine Rings corrupted by Sauron Ringwraiths, the Black Riders, the Nine, Гљlairi ( Q) This article or section needs more/new/more-detailed sources to conform to a higher standard and to provide proof for claims made. You have to wonder why they decided to make the main character a good guy, though.NazgГ»l ' Who told you, and who sent you?' - Gandalf In its gameplay and its look into the bad guysвЂ™ side of things, Shadow of Mordor is a great game. Mix yourself too much and in the mix and you can easily get killed, and you may discover that in the interim between your death and your revival, your loyalists have been killed, and you have to start over with the survivors. And there isnвЂ™t always a guarantee that your captain is going to survive вЂ“ I lost my most beloved captain when I got cocky and failed to do the anciliary plotting and assassinations necessary to smooth his rise to warchief. Talion just makes sure they do best they can. They get the rep, they have the personalities, and they get the glory. Talion is the bossВ of a political partyВ to the orc captainsвЂ™В politicians. Unfortunately, you have to do it as Talion. figuring out the best approach, making sure you have the right buffs, and then leap down on him to capture him and brainwash the sucker. ItвЂ™s well worth it to set about picking a captain out (I selected mainly on who looked the coolest, and occasionally, personality). Once you do, though, you finally get the enjoyment of meddling in orc politics. This is where the game shines, and itвЂ™s shame itвЂ™s about two-fifths of the way through the storyline before you can actually take brainwash orcs. Together Talion and Celebrimbor decide to assassinate the warchiefs of SauronвЂ™s orcish army, while replacing them with captains theyвЂ™ve brainwashed to be on their side. Both Celebrimbor and Talion have little personality worth talking about, though Celebrimbor is at least mildly interesting as a 3700-year-dead ghost with a purpose while Talion is just a blank slate. Now, itвЂ™s up to this improbable duo to stop Sauron and save Middle-earth (which, of course, they wonвЂ™t because we all know how this turns out). You play Talion, a ranger of Gondor whose wife and son are refridgerated in the first two minutes of the game before he himself (in a surprise twist) is also killed by SauronвЂ™s originally named вЂњBlack HandвЂќ who when I first saw them, I thought вЂњboy, those are some ugly looking orcs.вЂќ They are, in fact, humans.ДЄnyhow, for some bullshit reason, Talion doesnвЂ™t die, instead becoming tied to the ghost of the elf-lord Celebrimbor who forged the Rings of Power with Sauron (and also had his wife and kid killed).

The game takes place in that period between the end of The HobbitВ but before The Lord of the Rings. Shadow of Mordor is basically a simulation based off of Thomas HobbesвЂ™В famous quote that without dominance of a state, the life of an orc isВ вЂњsolitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.вЂќ At least, I think he said it. Sound awful? Violent? Yet kind of innovative? Yes, yes, and yes. This would spawn a longstanding rivalry between myself and this character that would last through roughly the first third of the gameВ - he killed me twice more and then I exploited his fear of being lit on fire and summarily executed him.

The first time I met an orc captain in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor I had to flee from him before he killed me.
