Morgoth gave the Gaunt-men mortal bodies in which to work his wickedness throughout Middle-earth. Among those were dire creatures called Gaunt-men. In the First Age, Morgoth summoned many fell spirits into his service and twisted countless creatures to his will. Players adventuring in Garth Agarwen should beware this vengeful creature of nature.
When she fell, so did Dour-root.ĭour-root was created by the developers at Turbine as one of the boss-monsters in the Lone-lands instance, Garth Agarwen. Dour-root long dwelt in the presence of the River-maiden, who succumbed to the evils brought by the ancient wars with Rhudaur and Angmar.
In Agamaur, one such Huorn guards the ways into Garth Agarwen, the stronghold of the Red-maid. Whether these creatures are trees that have been awakened or Ents that have become treeish is hard to say, but without the guidance of the Ents, they often become wild and dangerous, sometimes even black-hearted. In out-of-the-way places dwell many ancient creatures, and numbered among them are the Huorns.
