This feature is present in: Renewed, Legacy.

This page is about what NPCs say to you. If you are having difficulty understanding what your buddies write in the chat, you are likely looking for Drunken Speech.

Please note: in the Renewed version of the mod, NPCs use a far more complex speech system than listed here. For more details see Curuquesta.

The majority of the NPCs added into the mod have a speechbank, which is listed below. For most of these, they will talk when the player 'speaks' to them by right-clicking on them. For trading units, right-clicking will open a GUI from which 'Talk' can be selected to achieve the same.

Via the configuration file, you can decide, if the text is either displayed in the chat, or rather directly over the head of the NPC. The latter is called "immersive speech".

Please note that the names of structures used in some speech banks are the names of the structure they spawn in, when you're in game. On this page, the names used are generated randomly and are only a possibility of what you may actually see in game. For example, the name of a Dunlending Tavern, as spoken by the Dunlending Bartender, may look like this:

Welcome to The Lonely Tankard, Person!

Click here to get a different name.

The sub-headings for each NPC are the state that the NPC must be in for them to say the speech listed there. For example, if you successfully summon the Mallorn Ent, it will say one of the speeches listed under 'Summoning' in the Mallorn Ent section, which in turn is in the Fangorn section.

The NPC headings are linked (e.g. 'Half-troll Warlord' in the Half-trolls section) if the speechbank only applies to one NPC in that faction. If the heading is not linked (e.g. 'Dwarves' in the Durin's Folk section) then there are several NPCs who use that speechbank (in this example, both civilian Dwarves and all Warriors).

These speechbanks are completely unchanged and come straight from the mod's code, and are ordered in the same way. To editors, please keep it this way. I will format them in the future, once the base speech has been added.

Renewed[]

In the Renewed version, Renewed Snapshot 4.0 added the first basic NPCs as well as a basic speech system. It improved some of the speech AI so that NPCs now stop and look at the player when spoken to, as well as speak to other NPCs, and also added animations and particles for when NPCs speak. A data based, more complex and translatable speechbank system - the upcoming Curuquesta - is planned but as a placeholder several lines of speech were added, listed below:

  • I don't have anything to say to you yet.
  • Come back later for some fine conversation!
  • They haven't given me speech banks yet.
  • They haven't given me speech banks yet. But I do have these fine new speaking animations.
  • Conditional speechbank engine - coming soon to a mod near you!
  • $ERROR_UNKNOWN_TYPE$: SPEECHBANK NOT FOUND! No, no, just joking. But they really haven't given me any yet!
  • Nopa is Based.
  • I speak when I am spoken to. But I don't have much to say yet.
  • What? If people were always clicking on you, you'd have trouble coming up with things to say too.
  • SPEECH ERROR: java.lang.NullPointerException at NPCEn... no, that won't work on you, you're too good for that."

List of Speechbanks by Faction[]

Angmar[]

Orcs[]

Not the nicest folk to deal with, Angmar Orcs usually greet people with a hail of insults. However, as you go through the ranks of evil, you may earn more respect among them. But if you remain their enemy, they will not hesitate to attack!

Angmar Orc Chieftain[]

These cranky old Angmar Orcs can be even worse than the usual. Even with a good reputation they can be sly and cheeky. They will try to do anything to get more coins in their pouch! And if you don't have any, it isn't going to be pretty!

Friendly

Angmar Orc Trader[]

Like their cousins the Angmar captains, these traders are known for their insults and rude comments. However, if you get to know them and you earn respect amongst their kin, they will be happy to trade with you - for the highest price possible of course!

Friendly

  • Orcs like silver coins as much as the next race, you know...
  • Bring me coins if you want equipment.

Rhudaur Hillman[]

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!

  • You seem like a warrior of my kind, Person.
  • Angmar will soon rise again!
  • I have crushed many heads in battle. Have you, Person?
  • What do you need?

Rhudaur Hillman Chieftain[]

These Hillmen are noble warriors who have earned power and respect through battle. To hire troops from them you must be equally successful with your endeavours. No chieftain will trade with unworthy warriors! And if you're just a plain old enemy, watch out! They may be chieftain now, but they still have some moves!

Friendly

  • My men await your command, Person. Bring death to the Dúnedain!
  • May you break the bones of your enemies, Person!

Blue Mountains[]

Dwarves[]

Short and with quick tempers, Dwarves can be a nuisance sometimes. But if you earn their respect, you will learn that they are in fact amazing folk. However, don't make them your enemies, as the dwarves are known for their skill in crushing Orcs!

Friendly

  • Our women are so alike in voice and appearance that they are often mistaken for our men.
  • Roaring fires! Malt beer! Ripe meat off the bone!

  • We Dwarves are valiant warriors! All foes shall tremble beneath our hammers and axes!
  • No Orc shall escape the edge of my axe!
  • By my beard, I would run ten leagues just for one pint of fresh Dwarven ale!
  • It is truly a great honour to fight beside a warrior such as you!

Children[]

These stout dwarves may be small, but someday they will be mighty warriors! All they want is to go hunting Orcs with their fathers and to have a sip of ale on the sly! But be warned, if you are aligned with evil these little guys still pack quite a punch!

Friendly

  • Welcome to the Blue Mountains, Person!
  • You're not a Firebeard, or a Broadbeam...
  • Greetings!
  • One day I'll be able to drink Dwarven ale. I can't wait!

Blue Mountains Commander[]

These mighty warriors are friendly enough to the good-aligned player. However, they are stubborn and won't hire troops to unworthy warriors. As you ascend through the ranks, in time you will of course earn their respect. But if you're an Orc, well, it probably won't end well!

Friendly

Blue Mountains Merchant[]

These Dwarves are very friendly folk, always willing to trade for the right price. However, without coins and alignment you may fail to please them. If you do have coins you had better be hasty as these traders don't stay in your area for more than a day! These traders meet all sorts on the road, but if you happen to be an Orc it is probably best to avoid these warriors!

Friendly

  • As you can see, Person, my feet ache from this heavy load. Care you to buy something?
  • We Dwarves do not usually trade with Men, but you are an exception, Person.
  • Ale, armour, weapons - you want it, it's yours, my friend! As long as you have enough coins...
  • I come from the mighty strongholds of the Blue Mountains, Person. No other Dwarves boast riches quite like ours.
  • I am travelling the land in search of wealth - perhaps you are doing the same, Person?
  • Give me some coins, Person, and I shall be a very happy merchant indeed!
  • Greetings, Person! Do you wish to buy some goods from me?
  • I bring great treasures from the Blue Mountains! You can have them... for a certain price!
  • Do you wish to trade with me, Person? I have several items which might be of interest to you.
  • I will sell you anything for a fair price!
  • Do you want to trade with me, Person? For a few dozen silver coins you can enjoy the craftwork of the Dwarves of Ered Luin!

Hostile

Departure

  • Time is passing, Person! If you wish to trade with me, you must do it now!

Blue Mountains Miner[]

These hard-working dwarves will always be keen to share the spoils of their work - for the right price, of course. But if an evil player should attempt to sneak into the mines, there will be trouble!

  • Best wares of Bree, right here!
  • I'm in the mood for a good trade, how about you?
  • The best the Men of Bree can produce, all for a sharp low price!
  • Best ironworks this side of Bree-hill, what can I do for you?
  • Horseshoes, bits and bridles, gardening tools, I can work iron into something you can work with!
  • A pound of iron, a piece of silver, as long as I can work with it!
  • Weapons are not my speciality, but I can help you with the essentials.
  • Forging is what I've done all my life, and I plan to teach my children the same.
  • Your requests are far more reasonable than the requests I get from the Dwarves.
  • I may not know how to work the steel of Elves or Dwarves, but iron! Iron I can work with!
  • What did he say again... the forge's fire is ashen-cold? That makes no sense.
  • Hammer, shape me a sturdy sword!

Neutral:

  • Sorry, we are not selling right now. Come back another time.
  • We've closed shop for the moment, sorry.
  • We're out of stock, try again later.
  • For now, I am only selling to other Bree-Folk.
  • I don't know your business, but I want none of it.
  • Whatever business you have here, you can take it up to Deadmen's Dike with the other Southerners.

Hostile:

  • We have no room for the likes of you in Bree!
  • We've dealt with Ruffians like you before, Person!
  • I knew those Ruffians coming up the Greenway were up to no good!
  • How did you slip past the gatekeeper?
  • Call for the guards, we're under attack!
  • Don't come bringing trouble to our peaceful village, why you.
  • What is the matter with you, acting like that!
  • There is no room for ill-folk such as you in Bree!
  • Don't underestimate this craftsman's strength, Person!
  • You fool, I can bend iron. Your bones will be no match!
  • You think I haven't had Ruffians try these things on me before?

  • You will regret coming back here, we know what you did!

Bree-land Sherriff[]

Friendly:

  • Ah, Person! How are things out there?
  • You need any assistance, Person?
  • Are those Southerners causing any issue?
  • Whatever is going on in the South, I hope it doesn't reach our community.
  • What is it? Do you need me to ring the town bell?
  • It's almost harvesting season, we could use a few more men to keep a look-out.
  • Pardon me for being blunt, Person, but I am glad that you aren't one of them Ruffians.
  • Keep an eye out for those Ruffians if you can.
  • Word's been getting around about them Black Riders, have you seen them?
  • Any troubling news you ought to tell me, Person?

  • Are you one of those who came up the Greenway?
  • You don't look like a ranger to me, what's your business in Bree?
  • As I told your pal, we have not heard of any Baggins around here.
  • We've had a lot of strange folk pass through as of late, my men are too busy to help you right now.
  • I don't mean ill, but I don't know you half as well as I ought to know you to entrust my men to you.
  • You don't seem much like commander material to me, no offense.
  • If you are desperate for men, try the Ruffians up Deadmen's Dike.

Hostile:

Bree-land Farmer[]

Friendly:

  • You're not one of them Rangers, are you?
  • It's been raining a lot lately, have you noticed?
  • If you are here for our excellent pipe-weed, we grow them on the southern slopes.
  • First those Black Riders, now you. What a strange time.
  • If you are in need of a supply of pipe-weed, you came to the right land!
  • Not a lot of people know this, but Bree was the first to discover pipe-weed.
  • Don't let those Shirefolk tell you they invented smoking pipe-weed. Bree-folk did it before Old Toby did.
  • You don't happen to be interested in some Southlinch, are you?
  • I'm originally from Archet, a smaller community in Chetwood.
  • Combe is all right, but I prefer Bree-hill myself.
  • Every time the Dwarves come by, our coffers are filled with gold and our casks are empty of ale.
  • It has been raining an awful lot here lately...
  • There's an old saying here in Bree: when the rain comes, strange folk follow.
  • Rain, rain, rain. Nothing but rain here in Bree. What I would not do for some sun, instead.
  • They say when it rains the best tales are told over a flagon of ale.
  • Bree-hill has been our home since the first Men came here.
  • I like having the Little Folk around, they help with tending to the crops.
  • Bree has long survived on the patronage of Dwarves and Men, and of course the Little Folk.
  • I'm worried the rain will ruin the upcoming harvest.
  • You'll only get the freshest of crops with me.
  • Looking to buy some extra hands to tend to your lands?
  • Are you looking for extra hands, or for what the harvest has brought in?
  • Bree-landers are hard workers, I guarantee it!
  • After an incident years ago, we no longer let people hire the Little Folk. It's for their protection, you see.
  • The finest hard-working hands of Bree, at your service!
  • We don't just tend to Southlinch, we tend to other crops too!

Hostile:

  • We have no room for the likes of you in Bree!
  • Flee to the hills, to the rest of your kind!
  • We've dealt with Ruffians like you before, Person!

  • What is the matter with you, acting like that!
  • There is no room for ill-folk such as you in Bree!
  • Off my lands, tosser!
  • You must be the thief, taking off with our crops at night. Well that's about to end!
  • Hands off the plant, criminal scum!
  • Taking you down ain't much, but it's honest work!
  • Oi! You there back there! You know I will catch up with you! I've seen your face!

Bree-land Farmhand[]

Friendly:

  • Welcome to the land of Bree, Outsider.
  • We've been getting more Southerners coming up the Greenway lately.
  • You're not one of them Rangers, are you?
  • Be careful around those Rangers in the wild, they're uncanny.
  • If you seek for a place to stay, there is no better place than the Prancing Pony!
  • It's been raining a lot lately, have you noticed?
  • An Outsider? My, where did you come from then?
  • As long as those Southerners don't come looking for a place to stay in Bree, we will be fine.
  • If you are here for our excellent pipe-weed, we grow them on the southern slopes.
  • You aren't one of those sorcerers, are you?
  • Person! Any news from your travels?

  • Not a lot of people know this, but Bree was the first to discover pipe-weed.
  • Don't let those Shirefolk tell you they invented smoking pipe-weed. Bree-folk did it before Old Toby did.
  • We aren't getting a lot of travellers from the West anymore.
  • You don't happen to have some Southfarthing pipe-weed on you, do you?
  • Have you been close to those barrows West of here? The place gives me the creeps.
  • If you plan on heading further East, make sure to stop by the Forsaken Inn - it's the last civilised place that way.
  • I'm originally from Archet, a smaller community in Chetwood.
  • Combe is all right, but I prefer Bree-hill myself.
  • I love listening to tales and songs from the Outsiders.
  • Everytime the Dwarves come by, our coffers are filled with gold and our casks are empty of ale.
  • Be sure you don't wander into the Barrow-downs West from here. They're bad luck, I tell you.
  • I never see those Rangers do anything useful, I can't tell if that means they are that good or that lazy.
  • News came that something is stirring in the East. I hope it doesn't reach Bree.
  • It has been raining an awful lot here lately...
  • There's an old saying here in Bree: when the rain comes, strange folk follow.

  • They say when it rains the best tales are told over a flagon of ale.
  • Bree-hill has been our home since the first Men came here.
  • I like having the Little Folk around, they do well tending the crops.
  • The Little Folk may not seem as much, but Bree-folk would not be the same without them.
  • I miss the days the Little Folk from the Shire came over to party. Those were good times.
  • They say Hobbits have an unnatural talent of throwing things, but I don't want to risk asking.
  • Bree has long survived on the patronage of Dwarves and Men, and of course the Little Folk.
  • I'm worried the rain will make the Greenway too hard to traverse.

Hostile:

  • You fight like one of them Little Folk.

Hired:

  • What's my task today? Watering, planting, or harvesting?
  • Show me where you want me to plant these crops, Person.
  • These seem like some fine lands to work.
  • When do we start? Also, when is our break?
  • You want me to work here, or somewhere else?
  • Hand me the seeds, I'll bring you the crop.
  • Is there a chest for me to put the harvest in?
  • Ready to work, Person!
  • This is fine weather for honest work, don't you agree?
  • One day, I will be the one with my own farm, lending out farmhands of my own.
  • People keep complaining about Ruffians and Southerners, but it's the rabbits that grind my gear.
  • Why has there never been a farming tool known as a bird-bane?
  • I find new rabbit holes trying to destroy my crops every night.

Bree-land Guard[]

Friendly:

  • Nothing to see here, just go about your business.
  • Some say the Rangers are the real defenders of Bree, but why don't we ever see them defend us then?
  • Nothing gets past me unseen or unheard, Person. Just so you know.
  • You'll be safe in Bree, Person.

  • I'm happy we still have decent folk like you leading the people of Bree, Person.
  • What is it? Ruffians? Rangers? Orcs?
  • You give the order, Person, we'll take care of the rest.
  • I'm keeping an eye out for any suspicious behaviour. You'll hear from me if I find anything.
  • If I could choose between following you and gate duty, well, here I am!
  • Proud to be at your service, sir!
  • Nothing to report, or are you here to report something, Person?
  • I will follow your orders, Person!
  • Are we going to tumble with them Ruffians again?
  • Things have been better since you've been in command, sir.

Bree-land Innkeeper[]

Notes:
[1] - Bree-land Innkeeper only
[2] - Bree-Hobbit Innkeeper only

Friendly:

  • Welcome to the land of Bree!
  • Welcome to The Laughing House!
  • Welcome to The Laughing House, Person!
  • We've been getting more Southerners coming up the Greenway lately.
  • You're not one of them Rangers, are you?
  • It's been raining a lot lately, have you noticed?
  • If you are here for our excellent pipe-weed, we grow them on the southern slopes.
  • Not a lot of people know this, but we in Bree were the first to discover pipe-weed.
  • We aren't getting a lot of travellers from the West anymore.
  • If you plan on heading further East, make sure to stop by the Forsaken Inn - it's the last civilised place that way.
  • I'm originally from Archet, a smaller village by the Chetwood.
  • Combe is all right, but I prefer Bree-hill myself.
  • I love listening to tales and songs from our guests.
  • Every time the Dwarves come by, our coffers are filled with gold and our casks are empty of ale.
  • News came that something is stirring in the East. I hope it doesn't reach Bree.
  • It has been raining an awful lot here lately...
  • There's an old saying here in Bree: when the rain comes, strange folk follow.
  • Rain, rain, rain. Nothing but rain here in Bree. What I would not do for some snow, instead.
  • They say when it rains the best tales are told over a flagon of ale.
  • Welcome, welcome! Oh... what was your name again?
  • We have rooms for Dwarves, Hobbits, even Elves!
  • Join us in the common room, tell a tale or two! We love to hear what's going on outside of Bree!
  • We have a fine company tonight, I do hope you will join us in our merrymaking?
  • Bree-hill has been our home since the first Men came here. [1]
  • I like having the Little Folk around, they do well in keeping the common room cheerful. [1]
  • The Little Folk may not seem as much, but Bree-folk would not be the same without them. [1]
  • I miss the days the Little Folk from the Shire came over to party. Those were good times. [1]
  • The Laughing House has long survived on the patronage of Dwarves and Men, and of course the Little Folk. [1]
  • I would never leave Bree. Not even to visit the Shire. [2]
  • Have you heard any news from the Shire? [2]
  • Any news from the Colonies? [2]
  • We used to get more Colonists coming over, I wonder what stops them? [2]
  • It's nice having the Big Folk around. They are more intimidating against Outsiders. [2]
  • The Big Folk may not seem as much, but Bree would not be the same without them. [2]

Hostile:

  • We have no room for the likes of you in The Laughing House!
  • We've dealt with Ruffians like you before, Person!
  • I knew those Ruffians coming up the Greenway were up to no good!
  • How did you slip past the gatekeeper?
  • I have been in barfights more intimidating than you!
  • Call for the guards, we're under attack!
  • Did somebody do your head in?
  • What is the matter with you, acting like that!
  • There is no room for ill-folk such as you in Bree!
  • Good news everybody! This gentleman's room has just opened up, already paid for!
  • No thank you, your weird antics are bad for business, out!
  • Away with you, vile beggar!
  • Go sleep in the mud, drunkard! I don't want the likes of you in The Laughing House!
  • And here I thought you'd make for good company!
  • Free drinks for whoever lands a hit on this Ruffian!
  • I look forward to watching you get dragged through the mud by the guards, Person!
  • Get out of The Laughing House, you Ruffian!

Bree-Man[]

Friendly:

  • Welcome to the land of Bree, Outsider.
  • We've been getting more Southerners coming up the Greenway lately.
  • You're not one of them Rangers, are you?
  • Be careful around those Rangers in the wild, they're uncanny.
  • If you seek for a place to stay, there is no better place than the Prancing Pony!
  • It's been raining a lot lately, have you noticed?
  • An Outsider? My, where did you come from then?
  • As long as those Southerners don't come looking for a place to stay in Bree, we will be fine.
  • If you are here for our excellent pipe-weed, we grow them on the southern slopes.
  • You aren't one of those sorcerers, are you?
  • Person! Any news from your travels?
  • I plan on visiting some relatives in Staddle soon.
  • Keep your voice down! Them Rangers have unnatural hearing, I tell you.
  • I heard a lot of robbers have been going up to Deadmen's Dike lately.
  • I don't trust those Southerners, where do they plan on going? I hope not here.
  • There have been some strange folk coming up the Greenway.
  • I heard a grey wanderer came by recently, left in a hurry too.
  • First those Black Riders, now you. What a strange time.
  • If you are in need of a supply of Southlinch, you should try the markets.
  • Not a lot of people know this, but Bree was the first to discover pipe-weed.
  • Don't let those Shirefolk tell you they invented smoking pipe-weed. Bree-folk did it before Old Toby did.
  • We aren't getting a lot of travellers from the West anymore.
  • You don't happen to have some Southfarthing pipe-weed on you, do you?
  • Have you been close to those barrows West of here? The place gives me the creeps.
  • If you plan on heading further East, make sure to stop by the Forsaken Inn - it's the last civilised place that way.
  • I'm originally from Archet, a smaller community in Chetwood.
  • Combe is all right, but I prefer Bree-hill myself.
  • I love listening to tales and songs from the Outsiders.
  • Everytime the Dwarves come by, our coffers are filled with gold and our casks are empty of ale.
  • Be sure you don't wander into the Barrow-downs West from here. They're bad luck, I tell you.
  • I never see those Rangers do anything useful, I can't tell if that means they are that good or that lazy.
  • News came that something is stirring in the East. I hope it doesn't reach Bree.
  • It has been raining an awful lot here lately...
  • There's an old saying here in Bree: when the rain comes, strange folk follow.
  • Rain, rain, rain. Nothing but rain here in Bree. What I would not do for some snow, instead.
  • They say when it rains the best tales are told over a flagon of ale.
  • Bree-hill has been our home since the first Men came here.
  • I like having the Little Folk around, they do well tending the crops.
  • The Little Folk may not seem as much, but Bree-folk would not be the same without them.
  • I miss the days the Little Folk from the Shire came over to party. Those were good times.
  • They say Hobbits have an unnatural talent of throwing things, but I don't want to risk asking.
  • Bree has long survived on the patronage of Dwarves and Men, and of course the Little Folk.
  • I'm worried the rain will make the Greenway too hard to traverse.

Hostile:

  • We have no room for the likes of you in Bree!
  • Flee to the hills, to the rest of your kind!
  • We've dealt with Ruffians like you before, Person!
  • Begone, before we send the hounds after you!
  • I knew those Ruffians coming up the Greenway were up to no good!
  • How did you slip past the gatekeeper?
  • To the midges with you!
  • I have been in barfights more intimidating than you!
  • Call for the guards, we're under attack!
  • Don't come bringing trouble to our peaceful village, why you.
  • Did somebody do your head in?
  • What is the matter with you, acting like that!
  • There is no room for ill-folk such as you in Bree!
  • Mind your own business, Ruffian.
  • I have fought Little Folk tougher than you!
  • You fight like one of them Little Folk.

  • The best the Men of Bree can produce, all for a sharp low price! [1]

Neutral:

  • Sorry, we are not selling right now. Come back another time.
  • We've closed shop for the moment, sorry.
  • We're out of stock, try again later.
  • For now, I am only selling to other Bree-folk.
  • I don't know your business, but I want none of it.
  • Whatever business you have here, you can take it up to Deadmen's Dike with the other Southerners.

Hostile:

  • We have no room for the likes of you in Bree!
  • We've dealt with Ruffians like you before, Person!
  • I knew those Ruffians coming up the Greenway were up to no good!
  • How did you slip past the gatekeeper?

  • I have fought Little Folk tougher than you! [1]
  • You fight like one of them Little Folk. [1]
  • Your first mistake was thinking I never fought Big Folk before! [2]
  • For Big Folk, you don't hit that hard. [2]
  • I've tossed with Dwarves before, this is nothing! [2]

Ruffian[]

Friendly:

  • We look after one-another. Don't we, Person?
  • Our allies are gathering in the North, hidden amongst the refugees.
  • Any word from Sharkey?
  • Any word from the Boss?
  • Keep an eye out on the road, I heard some important folks might come by soon.
  • Stay on the roads, friend. The wilderness is sprawling with those Rangers.
  • Find some comfort, keep an open ear, report what you uncover to me.
  • We ain't thugs, you hear. We are just putting our money on the future.
  • Keep your head low, and don't get caught by the guards of Bree.
  • Those Little Folk are sneaky, be sure you don't get tailed.
  • I'll be moving up to Deadmen's Dike soon.
  • Ah, Person. I see you've made it to Bree.
  • I heard the old fortress is being repurposed as a hideout, if you are in grave need.
  • Our scouts knew you were coming. You should do better to move about unnoticed.
  • Can I help you? Sorry, I don't sell pipe-weed at the moment.
  • The weather sure is sinister these days.
  • You got any new information on Baggins? The Black Riders are getting impatient.
  • I heard some of those rangers talk about a place called Fornost. I think they are onto us.

Neutral:

  • What are you looking at?
  • I don't think I can help you, move along.
  • Why are you looking at me funny? Can't you see I'm busy?
  • Another refugee, or are you here with a different purpose?
  • How's the rain treating you?
  • Who are you again? It's my business to know who comes and goes around Bree-land.
  • You don't look like the type I normally do business with, why are you here?
  • I see they're letting anyone inside Bree these days.
  • Move along unless you have something to tell to my face.
  • A newcomer? Interesting...

Hostile:

  • I'd just like a chat, come 'ere!
  • Why don't you just lie down and make this easier for both of us!
  • Look, it's nothing personal. Sharkey just wants a few words with you.
  • It's not warmongering, it's just good business.
  • You and your little friends will all soon be shackled and enslaved anyway!
  • We don't need your kind around here, Person.
  • Bandit? Oh no, I am far more refined than your average highwayman.
  • I don't need your cash, but it make for a fine bonus reward.
  • Where were you going to run? I've got friends all over Eriador!
  • Looking for the Grey Wanderer? We don't need that funny business around here.
  • Times are tough enough as it is, you need to leave!
  • You came from the Shire, didn't you? Good to know.
  • You're not a threat to our cause, Person!
  • The Boss would love to meet you, aye!

Hired:

  • You tell me what to do, I'll get it done.
  • Ready to enforce some cooperation?
  • They won't even know what hit them.
  • Just give the word, I am ready.
  • We moving to the Shire anytime soon?
  • I could use a little bit more rumble and tumble, Person.
  • I'm ready to get my hands dirty, what do you need me to do?
  • Glad to have you in command, Person.
  • What are we up to today? Bullying Halflings, or intimidating the Men?
  • Tell me what to do, and you can consider it done, Person.

  • Good day, Person!
  • Good day!
  • Good morning, Person!
  • Good morning to you!

  • Hmm...
  • Ah, yes! I remember these lands.

Welcome

  • Hmm... ah, Person! Welcome to Middle-earth!

Quest

  • Are you looking to share in an adventure, Person? There are a great many adventures to be had here, but the world is wide and full of all manner of dangers... so allow me to give you some advice first!
  • Excellent! Now, I have a few odds and ends for you here.
  • This book you shall find particularly useful. Open it up and look inside!
  • The Red Book is a journal of your adventures. All kinds of folk all around Middle-earth will want help with tasks both large and small. They may even reward you for it!
  • Now you must learn to read a map. For Middle-earth is a very wide world indeed, and any decent adventurer must know how to find their way around.
  • Middle-earth is full of peoples both fair and foul... and, depending on how you conduct yourself, those peoples may count you as a friend, or fear you as an enemy.
  • Now, your alignment meter shows your standing with the peoples of Middle-earth. You ought to familiarise yourself with it, young Person.
  • What's next? Ah, yes. The faction guide can tell you more about all those groups... their friends, foes, and areas of influence.
  • Of course, there is much to do in Middle-earth. You will learn more about the world through your adventures.
  • Hmm... why, I almost forgot! Take these old bags along with you. I suspect you shall have greater need of them than I.
  • Well, I do believe that's all I have to tell you, and now I must be on my way. Good day to you, Person!

Depart

  • Now I must be on my way. Farewell, Person!
  • I expect I shall see you again before long. But for now, farewell.
  • Good day to you, Person!
  • Good day! Until we meet again, I suppose...

  • I must see to some other business now. May our paths cross again.
  • The wide world has need of me. Farewell, Person.
  • I must return to the long road ahead. Farewell, Person!

Friendly

  • I am looking for someone to share in an adventure...
  • Good morning!
  • Good morning, Person!
  • Late? Oh no, Person. A Wizard is never late.
  • Hmm...
  • Hmmph...
  • In these parts, it is very difficult to find anyone at all who wants to share in an adventure.
  • How is old Bilbo doing these days? I wonder...
  • You remember me, don't you? Old Greybeard, yes...
  • It is not our part to master the tides of the world.
  • You remember my name, don't you?
  • Ahh... Person! So that is what you have taken to calling yourself.
  • Make for the village of Bree, seven days from now. There is something we must discuss.
  • Now, Person, let us meet at Bree seven days hence. There is a matter of great urgency.
  • You do know my name, young Person, even if you don't remember that I belong to it.
  • Many are my names in many countries.

Hostile

  • You are a half-wit and a fool!
  • To think that it should have come to this!
  • Do you not remember my name?
  • Fool! Ah, Person, you old fool!
  • It is never too late to turn from the path of the Shadow.
  • You have walked upon some most unwise roads.
  • You cannot pass.
  • You are a fool, Person.
  • Such wickedness ill-befits one of your high station!
  • Even for one so deep in folly as you, there is hope.
  • Turn away from your folly!
  • Cast aside your vain ambition and return to the right path!

  • Don't think you can get away with eating any of the displays!
  • Don't go to that other bakery down the road, Person. I've heard bad things about their cakes. They'll rot your teeth, they will.
  • Who would waste their money on a blacksmith when you can come here instead?
  • Buy something!
  • Come back any time you like. I'm here all day, every day.
  • I'm starting to get tired of holding this loaf.
  • No, the stuff in the barrel isn't for sale.
  • What? No, of course I'm not going to tell you how to make a Dalish pastry!

  • Going on an adventure? Then you'll want to take some cram with you, my friend!
  • Not another bleeding Dwarf! We've had quite enough - oh, it's you, Person. Please forgive me.
  • I'm sure your children would love to come here!
  • Please don't walk on the displays.

Dol Guldur[]

Orcs[]

These fellows tend not to be the nicest people to hang around with in Middle-earth, but if you're good at chopping up Elves they may find a place in their black hearts for you! However, if you're a friend of the filthy Wood-elves, try and keep your head attached!

Dol Guldur Orc Chieftain[]

These grouchy Orcs may be nasty to the average scum or Elf filth, but if you have silver in your pockets and you have knocked off enough Elf heads, they can be persuaded. However, if you're one of those pointy-eared Elf scum you're in for the fight of your life!

Friendly

Dol Guldur Orc Trader[]

Orcs aren't the nicest of folk to be around, and especially not these traders. If you have coins and experience in Elf-stabbing they will be sure to try a trade. But watch out - they are full of cons and tricks and you may not end up a satisfied customer! Anybody aligned with good shouldn't worry about trades; they should worry about surviving the vicious attacks of these traders!

Friendly

  • Orcs like silver coins as much as the next race, you know...
  • Bring me coins if you want equipment.

Neutral

  • The guards of Dorwinion do not serve just anyone, Person.

Dorwinion Elf[]

Friendly

  • I welcome you to Dorwinion.
  • In your tongue, Person, this country is called the Land of the Young.
  • Our kin in the West think we are lesser, because we have not seen the light of the Two Trees. But I say, these lands are beauty enough for me.
  • Here on the shores of the Rhúnaer, we Dorwidhrim brew the finest wines in all Middle-earth!
  • I shall travel soon to my kin in the Woodland Realm. It has been long indeed since last we met.
  • Welcome to Dorwinion, Person, the easternmost Elf-country on earth... save one.
  • King Bladorthin ruled here of old.
  • The arrogance of our Eldarin brothers and sisters has led their realms into decay. But Dorwinion by the shores shall endure forever.
  • The Men of Númenor once claimed ownership of these lands, not so long ago. But I knew that would not endure. Men are weak... and too easily corrupted.
  • We Elves have always loved the sea, and the shores of this land bear a likeness to Cuiviénen from the old tales.
  • It is rare that one of our people should flee into the West, Person. We are not Eldar here.
  • I must get back to the brewery soon.
  • Wine! Wine, Person. It dulls all ills and soothes all sorrows.
  • The Men of Dorwinion are more noble than most. But Men they are still, nonetheless.
  • Go not into Rhúdel, Person. There are false tales of Elves in that land, and many confused Men.

  • The mighty Vintner Guard of old, reduced to fighting petty criminals! It is a shame indeed.

  • Welcome to Dorwinion, the civilised heart of Middle-earth! Just don't go any further east.
  • I don't take kindly to troublemakers.

  • I will do whatever you order, Person.
  • I will defend your grapes until my last breath.
  • Oh, how I long for a sweet drop of wine.
  • We are guards, not warriors, but I will do my best.

Grape Warning

  • Don't do that again, Person.
  • I'll let you off... this time.
  • We don't take kindly to thieves here. This is your warning.
  • If you leave now, I'll pretend I never saw that.

Neutral

  • There is no wine for you, unfortunately, Person.

Dorwidhrim[]

Friendly

  • Welcome to Dorwinion, Person.
  • These lands are best for wine-making. Which is why our wines are the best.
  • This country was once a province of Gondor. But now Gondor has declined, and we rule ourselves.
  • I do not bow to any steward of stone, Person. We are the Young, and we are free, and this land is full of wealth.
  • Since King Bard slew the dragon, trade with Dale has made us even richer.
  • The Kingdom of Dale grows ever stronger, and I am glad, for this means we grow ever wealthier.
  • Many in the Westlands do not even know this country exists. It's a shame, Person, they're missing out on some fine wine!
  • We send our wine all over the world. Dale, Mirkwood, Gondor... I bet even those Orcs love the taste of it.

  • Trust me, Person - the Rhúnaerim are no friends of Mordor, as some would have you believe.
  • Fearmongers and whisperers say that the Rhúdelrim are training armies across the Sea of Rhûn, and planning to invade our lands. What nonsense!
  • I have heard rumours of Wainrider raids on the borders of our lands.
  • There is talk of the Wainriders riding again, Person. I hope they stay well away from here.

Dunlending Drunkard[]

Unlike normal Dunlendings, these tipsy men have no sense of what they're doing. If you're in the mood for some fun or a song or two these drunkards can be all right, but if you are an enemy these manic men will not hesitate to start a fight.

Dunlending Warlord[]

These mighty warriors have earned respect amongst the Dunlendings and aren't easily pleased. You will have had to crush the Rohirrim before you can hire troops from these Men. However, once you've got yourself a reputation, these traders would love to arm you with an army of savage Dunlendings. But any Strawhead filth who bothers them had better watch out!

Dunlending Bartender[]

Durin's Folk[]

Dwarves[]

These stout people may at times seem stubborn and grumpy, but if you have Orc kills under your belt and you're interested in mining and craftsmanship you will learn that they are good allies to have. However, get on their bad side and you're in for the fight of your life!

Children[]

You may be inclined to underestimate these little Dwarves, but don't forget they are still just as strong as the next Dwarven warrior! All they want is to finally taste some Dwarven ale and to go to battle with their fathers. Don't be ignorant and incite them; they are just as willing to kill an Orc as the next Dwarf!

Dwarf Commander[]

These mighty commanders have seen many battles, and if you have a worthy heart and a few shiny coins they will let you command their mighty warriors. However, unworthy warriors or Orc filth will get a different treatment!

Dwarf Miner[]

These dwarves are experienced workers and have the finest minerals to sell in all of Middle-earth.

Fangorn[]

Ents[]

The oldest and wisest of Yavanna's creations, the Ents are the shepherds of the forests of Middle-earth. However, due to the hasty Orcs and Men in the area, their domain has been reduced to the forest of Fangorn. Although they may look peaceful, any evil player will rue the day they enter wielding an axe.

Galadhrim[]

Elves[]

These fair people of the forest are wise in the lore of old and are as ancient as the forest surrounding them! They may seem peaceful and calm, but dark days have come and the Elves must protect their forest and ancient trees. These Elves also have a long-running feud with the Dwarves and Orcs, so it's just not smart to get on their bad side.

Galadhrim Lord[]

  • In my heart, Person, I still dream of a day when the Kings will return to the throne of Gondor.

  • The westmansweed of these fields is a wonderful and fragrant herb.
  • The hearts of Men may grow false, Person, but our lands are still as fair as ever.

  • Are these the last days of Men? Once, Gondor was great, but with every passing day I fear more for our future.
  • There is a cold darkness coming down onto the realms of Men.
  • Truly, these days are the failing of the race of Men. It seems even my crops are failing.
  • The scholars speak of days when Gondor was a shining jewel among the realms of Men. I fear those days are forever lost, Person.

  • These are troubled times for our people. Darkness gathers in Mordor, and the lords of the White City are silent.
  • This country is my home, Person. I fear for us all in these dark days.
  • This country was a great kingdom in days of old, but those days have long passed us by...
  • In my heart, Person, I still dream of a day when the Kings will return to the throne of Gondor.
  • Gondor. Ah, Gondor. The great South-kingdom of old, once! But now, Person, this is our long dwindling. The twilight of the West.
  • I wish that I could welcome you to Gondor in happier times.

  • If you should chance upon a wild growth of westmansweed, you'd be wise to pick it and take it home.

  • I have seen with my eyes the ruin of Osgiliath, where once was our capital city. But for five hundred years, that city has been host to naught but silent grief, a reminder of Gondor's darkening decline.
  • Gondor was once one of the greatest realms of Men. Yet today it is merely a land of crumbling brick, and false hearts...
  • I have heard stories that the Kings may one day return and rule Gondor once more. But those are just folk-tales; they cannot be true...

  • The westmansweed of these fields is a wonderful and fragrant herb.
  • The hearts of Men may grow false, Person, but our lands are still as fair as ever.
  • Many Men out of Ithilien and the South-lands sought refuge here, one hundred years ago. I hope that one day our host will march East and take back those haunted homelands!
  • This realm is called Stoningland in the tongue of Rohan. Well, we cannot say we lack for stone, Person.
  • Are these the last days of Men? Once, Gondor was great, but with every passing day I fear more for our future.
  • There is a cold darkness coming down onto the realms of Men.
  • Truly, these days are the failing of the race of Men. It seems even my crops are failing.
  • The scholars speak of days when Gondor was a shining jewel among the realms of Men. I fear those days are forever lost, Person.
  • Tall ships and tall kings, three times three. What brought they from the foundered land, over the flowing sea? Seven stars, and seven stones, and one white tree.
  • Have you any fair tidings, Person?
  • Men from the outlands are coming to the heartlands, away from conflict. They bring trouble, but I think we'll manage.
  • Come, Person, tell me a tale to cheer my heart.

  • Into the Gulf with you! Let your sins drag you down to the bottom!
  • You may have tricked the nomads into aiding you, but I can see through your disguise!
  • You can't honestly think you stand a chance against Mulkhêr's sacred people?
  • Where are my mercenaries when I need them?

Umbar Captain[]

  • Go! Lead our men to the dawn of a world without Northlings!
  • I hope you do these men right by letting them fight on the front lines.
  • Be careful, Person. They get rowdy if you don't let them fight.
  • Ah, Person. I do have some recruits ready for the field. Take a look!
  • You better leave some for me, Person!
  • Aye, if you've got the coin, you can buy some men off of me.
  • Feel free to lead my men into the heart of Gondor, Person.

Neutral

  • Perhaps you'd be better off asking those Gulfings for men.
  • No thanks. My men don't follow those of empty promises.
  • No men of mine would follow you, Person. You reek of Gondor an' the North.
  • You come from Gondor, Person. We ain't that blind.
  • I'm sorry, but we can't risk passing our commands to strangers.
  • With your poor reputation, I wouldn't even care if you were a Black Adûnôn.
  • You might have more luck trying the Corsairs, or the mercenaries. But not these true-blooded men of Umbar.
  • I don't see why anyone would follow you, Person.

Gondorian Renegade[]

  • I see you too are a friend of the great Eye.
  • The Lord of the Black Land shall come to rule the earth. Once I understood this, Person, the way forward was clear.
  • Hail, Person. Do you come to ally yourself with Umbar?
  • In Gondor, they speak much ill of the Haradrim. Not a word of it is true.
  • My homeland of Gondor was once a great kingdom, but today the people are weak and foolish.
  • These Southrons are sure to win the coming war. Only a fool would deny it.
  • In the service of the lords of Harad I have earned riches beyond all my dreams.

Oddment Collector[]

  • You look like you might have some useless bits and scrap, Person!

  • You look like a good person, Person. Would you do an old merchant a favour and trade with me?
  • Iron, tin, copper and steel. Trade with me to fund your next meal!
  • I have been in the markets a long time. I know a customer when I see one. Hello, Person!

  • Person, are you sure you have no scrap to spare? For I shall have to leave soon! I accept firstborns for coin too...
  • It is almost time for me to leave, Person. So hurry if you want me to take your oddments off your hands!
  • I'm sure we can strike one last deal, Person.
  • Can you spare just a little more scrap before I depart these forsaken lands?
  • It's the scrap that's never collected that takes longest to sell, Person. So before I leave, can you not spare a little more scrap for a poor old oddment collector?
  • I shall soon be taking a well-earned break. So, quickly, Person, bring me your last scrap!
  • I fear this place has little else to offer me in the scrap market. I shall soon depart to richer lands.
  • The scrap that one hoards is worth little more than pebbles, Person. So come now and sell that rubbish of yours before I go far away!
  • The road must go on, Person! Who am I but a humble scrap collector to stop it. So before I hasten over the hills, let me rid you of any unwanted odds and ends.
  • Come trade with me quickly, Person! For I shall soon be leaving these lands to seek the wealth of the Gundabad Orcs.
  • I'm feeling thirsty, Person. A stay at a good inn would do me well! Luckily I know one near the mountains blue, so come quick or you shall miss me.
  • My deals don't last forever, Person.
  • A rest in a comfortable bed beckons, Person. Oddment collectors have to sleep too!
  • Roll up, roll up! Last scrap deals for many weeks!
  • Do you have no more scrap, Person? Then I shall have to leave.
  • We scrap collectors move often to find the best sources of oddments. I am no exception, Person.
  • Business is slow here. Perhaps it is time to seek my fortunes elsewhere.
  • I hear the Mango-Men of Harad have plenty of scrap iron. Perhaps I should seek them instead of waiting for you to empty your pockets, Person.

Smith

  • A deal well done, my friend. Now off you go!
  • As you see, Person, my skills in smithcraft are unmatched!
  • 'Twas a pleasure to relieve you of your coin.
  • What, do you regret our little deal? Time is too short for regret, my friend. Go and enjoy yourself!
  • That may have been the best trade deal in the history of trade deals.
  • What? You didn't want all those coins weighing you down, did you?
  • I hope you're satisfied with that. I certainly am!
  • I bet you've never seen a better piece of smithcraft in all your life.
  • And that's what you get for asking a wandering scrap trader to smith your precious trinkets!
  • Customer satisfaction has never been higher.
  • Do you know that sound, Person? It's the sound of a deal well struck!
  • You can't complain. I'm cheaper than most.
  • I'm almost as great a wordsmith as I am a worker of metals.
  • Even the Lambengolmor of Tirion upon Túna are no match for my skill with words.
  • We scrap traders are masters of words and names.
  • That was the best trade deal I've seen since the days of the Lamps.
  • What, is there something wrong?
  • I learned my letters from the kind of teachers you could only dream of having.
  • What? The smithing process often goes wrong, Person. We can't all be Telchars and Celebrimbors.
  • Smithcraft is a fine art, Person. You shouldn't complain about little mistakes here and there.
  • Good, good! Now take it, and be on your way.
  • I am but a humble wandering merchant. Forgive me if I made a small mistake.

Utumno

  • Well, fancy seeing you down here!
  • Let's see... now, where did I leave my heathers...
  • You followed me all the way in here just to sell me your scrap? I'm flattered, Person.
  • Where there's beings who'll trade, there's money to be made!
  • I'm here to hunt Balrogs. Yes, that sounds believable.
  • It's almost harvesting season.
  • Flesh! Flesh! Flesh... goes for a surprisingly good price down here!
  • Well, this wasn't supposed to happen.
  • Person! Of all the people I expected to see down here...
  • Person? Who let you in?
  • If I'm down here with you, then who's trading with the people up above?
  • There has been a mistake.
  • I'll see you down on the fourth level.

  • Fancy that! Person! And now I shall have to be on my way.
  • What? What am I doing down in the pits of Utumno? Well, what are you doing down in the pits of Utumno, Person?
  • Now if I could only find a way down into the fourth pits...
  • A key of ice is rather nice, but a key of fire I truly... goodness me, it's you, Person!
  • I seek the keys of fire. And I shouldn't have told you that, should I? Not to worry, you'll never make it out of here alive...
  • Mbelekóro? But I thought you were - oh, it's just you, Person. Do excuse me.
  • Ah, I remember this place back when they still called it Utumna.

Trivia[]

The anglo-saxon os-rune (= letter O) means "mouth" or "god". Tolkien used those ᚱᚢᚾᛖᛋ for some texts in the initial drafts of "The Lord of the Rings", later on, he replaced them by cirth runes.

The mouth is the source of all language,
a pillar of wisdom and a comfort to wise men,
a blessing and a joy to every knight.
