Bestowal Dialogue

The Great Alliance of Elves and Men stood in defiance of Sauron for long years of siege, but even their bravest heroes came to fear his deadliest servants. These were the Nazgûl, and their number was Nine. They stalked the battlefield of Mordor Besieged, and were its most dangerous scourges.

Few among the living ever heard him speak, but his visage was well-known, and feared. They called him the Grim Southron, and while Men quailed at his approach during the Second Age, during the Third the legend of his malice had only grown. In later days it was he that Lhaereth the Stained followed in secret to Dol Guldur, where she discovered Sauron and helped him recover, for a price. Did the Dark Lord deal out reward or punishment for his Nazgûl's lapse? But that was much later. During the Second Age, the Grim Southron was known only to be patient, loyal, and silent.

Background

The Great Alliance of Elves and Men stood in defiance of Sauron for long years of siege, but even their greatest heroes came to fear his deadliest servants. These were the Nazgûl, and their number was Nine.

Objective 1

Few among the living ever heard him speak, but his visage was well-known, and feared. They called him the Grim Southron, and while Men quailed at his approach during the Second Age, during the Third the legend of his malice had only grown. In later days it was he that Lhaereth the Stained followed in secret to Dol Guldur, where she discovered Sauron and helped him recover, for a price. Did the Dark Lord deal out reward or punishment for his Nazgûl's lapse? But that was much later. During the Second Age, the Grim Southron was known only to be patient, loyal, and silent.

The Grim Southron says, "The serpent stings!"
The Grim Southron says, "The might of Harad is with me!"
The Grim Southron has been defeated... for now

Objective 2

  • The Grim Southron, defeated but enduring

Few among the living ever heard him speak, but his visage was well-known, and feared. They called him the Grim Southron, and while Men quailed at his approach during the Second Age, during the Third the legend of his malice had only grown. In later days it was he that Lhaereth the Stained followed in secret to Dol Guldur, where she discovered Sauron and helped him recover, for a price. Did the Dark Lord deal out reward or punishment for his Nazgûl's lapse? But that was much later. During the Second Age, the Grim Southron was known only to be patient, loyal, and silent.

The Grim Southron suffered defeat on the battlefield of Mordor Besieged, but it was not to be a lasting death... not while Sauron endured. The Nazgûl would return, for his was an existence beyond ending.
