Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressëa, that all those of the Quendi who came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orcs in envy and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes.

Tormented Elves are NPCs that spawn in the obsidian and fire layers of Utumno.

Upon killing a tormented elf, the player earns the achievement "The Forgotten".

History[]

Tormented Elves are the ancestors of every Orc that plagues Middle-Earth.

In the First Age when the Elves were yet young as a race, Melkor captured many Elves and imprisoned them. After being tortured and shut off from all slightly things, they became the Orcs that Melkor (and later Sauron and Saruman) used in their many wars against the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth.

Spawning[]

Like all Utumno NPCs, these Elves will only spawn in Utumno, but only on the second and third floors.

Behaviour[]

The tormented Elves, being under the power of the Dark Lord Melkor, will attack any non-Utumno NPC or player that enters their vicinity.

However, they will sometimes speak to the player while they fight. Some of their speeches include sentences of help, some of the Elves apparently mistake the player for Melkor, but other sentences are more Orcish in nature. The reason for these differences in speech is because these Elves are partly Orcish and partly Elvish. These elves are very sad and gloomy, similar to the Núrn slaves. The look of these creatures can vary. Some look almost completely orcish but others look more of elf kind; many are in between. Attempts to save them from their wretched existence will fail, and the only way to help them is to grant them freedom in The Halls of Mandos...

When standing idle, these Elves will hold their melee weapon, which is either an Utumno Sword or an Utumno Dagger, in their hand. They will attack similarly to their (now very distant) relatives in Middle-earth. If a player or an enemy NPC approaches them, they will switch to an Utumno Bow in their hand and begin shooting. If the player or NPC gets closer still, they will switch back to their melee weapon to fight that way.

Drops[]

Tormented Elves can drop one or two Elf bones upon death, some arrows, and on occasion one of the weapons they wielded. Tormented elves that spawn in the Obsidian level have a chance to drop Obsidian Key Parts, while those on the Fire level have a chance to drop the Pickaxe of the Underworld.
