Category:Ring Heroes

In Shadow and Flame, each of the 5 factions has a single "Ring Hero" represented by one of the Maiar - spirits originally sent to Middle-Earth by the Valar to help shape the world and guide it's inhabitants. Some of these Maiar stayed true to their purpose, others became distracted and withdrawn, whilst some were corrupted and twisted, wanting to conquer and destroy the very land they were sent to help. Each Ring Hero is an immensely powerful being capable of extraordinary feats and can only be recruited from their faction's Citadel once you have amassed enough Power points to unlock the final tier of the Spell-book.

The faction of Gondor calls upon the wizard Gandalf the White, who played not only a pivotal role in defending the city during the Siege of Minas Tirith, but also in leading and inspiring all of the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth to resist the forces of Evil. Meanwhile the faction of Rohan can recruit the wizard Radagast the Brown, whose affinity with animals and the natural world ties in well with the Horse-Lords.

The corrupted wizard Saruman leads the faction of Isengard to war, having designed terrible siege machines and ravaged the surrounding lands to fuel his armouries and furnaces, whilst the faction of Gundabad can unleash the fury of Durin's Bane, who they worship as some sort of deity, onto their enemies.

Finally, the faction of Mordor is represented by none other than the Dark Lord himself, Sauron, who wants to enslave all of Middle-Earth and plunge the land into darkness...
