After the fall of Sauron, his lieutenants took over his army and put humanity, and the elvish race, on their knees, prepped for execution. Humans and Elves have been enslaved for almost a hundred years, one generation after the next. Children rarely survived, those who did were often used as servants for Orcish Warchiefs, or Captains. Some, if they were lucky, became servants for the lieutenants of Sauron, often turning into just another soldier... But there was a revolt. A rebellion. A spark of life for the civil races. Roughly a thousand slaves have been liberated, and have taken up arms against the Dark Forces. Their morale is low, their supply count lower, and their chances lowest. Some of them are fueled by anger, others by passion, a few by faith, but they all share the same goal. And it's a good one. But that was a long time ago, those stories are myths and legends now... Enslaved...enslaved a mere few miles from the gate. On the other side of the gate, possibly Humans or Elves are in control. Most of the area is blocked off by rocks, or walls that the Orcs have built to keep their slaves in. To the south, the heart of the Dark Army, to the north, the Black Gate. The lieutenants of Sauron have recruited a group of Uruks, Warchiefs, to watch over the army when they can't. The Warchiefs are often the smartest, the strongest, the best soldiers of the nightmarish army. The lieutenants themselves are extremely apt fighters, not ones to be taken in one on one combat. The Talons of the Black Hand hang in control over the Warchiefs. Monsters roam what remains of the land. Beasts, some tamed by Orcs, some not. Most are very dangerous, even the flies can kill you in Mordor. This place should be named Hell, there's no stop to the violence, to the combat, to the death. Magic....magic is dead. The only ones with magical abilities are the five Talons of the Black Hand, and the Black Hand himself....alive ones that is. The Wraith of Mordor is a legend...some legends are true....
