Hiring NPC	Dunlending Warlord

“	Hark! They hate us, and they are glad; for our doom seems certain to them. “The king, the king!” they cry. “We will take their king. Death to the Forgoil! Death to the Strawheads! Death to the robbers of the North!”	”
–Gamling about the Dunlendings in The Two Towers, Helm's Deep

Dunlending Warriors are Dunlendings who are trained and equiped for battle. They wear full sets of Dunlending armour and wield iron daggers, spears, or swords. They also hold a shield of a howling wolf on their left arm, though it is just for looks, and gives them no bonus in combat.

Spawning

Just like Dunlendings and Dunlending bowmen, these warriors spawn in Dunland and also in Enedwaith, albeit more rarely than in their native land. Dunland Hill Forts will always contain many Dunlending Warriors, along with Dunlending Bowmen and a Dunlending Warlord.

Behaviour

As warriors of Dunland, they will attack any negatively aligned NPCs or players on sight. Like all Dunlendings, they bear a fierce hatred for the Rohirrim, the ‘Strawheads’ as they call them, and they will first of all attack an Eorling who has ventured into their sight range.

Drops

Dunlending warriors commonly drop vanilla bones and sometimes silver coins. They may also rarely drop their weapon or a piece of their armour.

Hiring

Dunlending Warriors can be hired from Dunlending Warlords in their hill forts. The needed alignment is +150 and the starting price for these units is 30 silver coins. As always, as one's alignment increases, price decreases.

Advantages	Disadvantages
Can be hired in Dunland, altogether not too far away.	Mediocre armour of Rohirric strength.
Not expensive alignment wise.	Quite expensive cost wise.
	Wield basic iron weapons which are weaker than those of most other factions
	No ranged attack
