The Taurethrim chieftain is the hiring NPC of the Taurethrim of the Far Harad Jungle. They are recognizable from regular Taurethrim NPCs by the coin in their hand and the chieftain helmet they wear.
Spawning[]
They spawn in Taurethrim Chieftain Temples which can be found in Taurethrim villages in the Far Harad Jungle. They will spawn wearing full armour, with a chieftain helmet on and a silver coin in their hands.
Behaviour[]
Like all hiring NPCs, they will not attack unless provoked and stay out of fights. When attacked they will defend themselves with a club.
Hiring[]
For at least +200 Taurethrim alignment he will allow you to buy troops. As your alignment goes up with the Taurethrim, the hiring costs decrease.
Upon hiring a unit from a chieftain, the player earns the achievement "Obsidian Conquerer".
