"Get back! Stay close to Gandalf!" Is what you should do when met by this Hoard. Face the will of Aulendil, the Necromancer at his full might, with all the tools to quickly summon terrors from the depths of Middle-Earth, or rip the souls of Mortals from their rest to do his bidding!

"In vain men shook their fists at the pitiless foes that swarmed before the gates. But soon there were few left in Minas Tirith who had the heart to stand up and defy the hosts of Mordor. For yet another weapon, swifter than hunger, the Lord of the Dark tower had: dread and despair."

In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie. One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them; In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

Combos & Synergy:

Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator + Glint-Horn Buccaneer for a Corsairs of Umbar ambush. (Burning-Rune Demon completes the pair through the power of undeath)

Vohar, Vodalian Desecrator / Likeness Looter & Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer ensure the Necromancer's will, returning it like the malice of a vengeful shadow.

Orcish Bowmasters brings Whispering Madness to the just & perverting a Windfall for those who stand opposed.

The Shadow Falls: Dauthi Embrace delivers a cold hand of death, while the Morgul Blade of Sword of Light and Shadow returns those who have fallen, refilling the ranks.

Elrond, Lord of Rivendell has a darkside: assisting the fallen Maia Malfegor with either larger waves to drown foes, or a refreshing hand from Elvenhome after.

Orcus, Prince of Undeath, Archfiend of Ifnir & Illithid Harvester rain dread & despair with the threat of no survivors.

Laurine, the Diversion, Kardur, Doomscourge & Too Greedily, Too Deep cause chaos in their ranks, whipping your Hoard into a killing frenzy.

Sauron's True Mouth, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, feasts on the fears of his foes for every hope they attempt to muster.

Bone Miser & Surly Badgersaur allow Sauron to keep spitting curses as long lands are scorched. (especially from the Fell Drake Haven)

Living Death (safeguarded by Shelob, Dread Weaver or 1-sided if Author of Shadows 1st), the rise of the Black Tide, and final act to End the World of Men. =O

"Flee! Flee for your lives!" >:()

"In my story Sauron represents as near an approach to the wholly evil will as is possible. He had gone the way of all tyrants: beginning well, at least on the level that while desiring to order all things according to his own wisdom he still at first considered the (economic) well-being of other inhabitants of the Earth. But he went further than human tyrants in pride and the lust for domination, being in origin an immortal (angelic) spirit. In The Lord of the Rings the conflict is not basically about 'freedom', though that is naturally involved. It is about God, and His sole right to divine honour. The Eldar and the Númenóreans believed in The One, the true God, and held worship of any other person an abomination. Sauron desired to be a God-King, and was held to be this by his servants; if he had been victorious he would have demanded divine honour from all rational creatures and absolute temporal power over the whole world." - John Ronald Reuel Tolkien https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X_AfMHCVoxA
