The Rhudaur Hillman Warriors are the warrior version of the Hillmen of Rhudaur. They are very similar to Dunlending warriors and are allied with the forces of Angmar.
Appearance
Rhudaur Hillman warriors usually wear a combination of Angmar armour, bone armour, and fur armour parts. They may also occasionally spawn without a helmet.
The warriors are always equipped with some type of Angmar weapon and carry an Angmar shield.
Spawning
Like regular Rhudaur Hillmen, the Hillman warriors spawn most commonly in Angmar, but will also appear in its surrounding areas such as the Ettenmoors, the Coldfells, and Lone-lands.
Behaviour
These NPCs will instinctively attack any other creature aligned unfavourably with Angmar. If no enemy is sighted, they will simply wander the premises.
Rhudaur Hillman warriors are capable of bestowing mini-quests.
Drops
When killed, Rhudaur warriors will most likely drop bones. They can also drop food items, pouches, or worn equipment/armour.
Hiring
Rhudaur Hillman warriors can be hired from a Rhudaur Hillman chieftain for a cost of 30 silver coins. The player must have at least +150 alignment with Angmar.
In addition, Hillman warriors mounted on Wargs can be purchased for 50 coins apiece. For this, +250 alignment is required.
Speechbank
These primitive warriors may be nasty to the Dúnedain scum, but if you crush enough heads and earn some respect you will be greeted like a hero. However, if you are aligned with good, these warriors will most likely react by crushing your skull!
