A possible new Evil Men faction

<< < (12/30) > >>

To everyone in concern of the Evil Men faction.

Drawing upon the idea of LordofLinks and that one of the heroes should be the "Priest of Morgoth" since he probably had a temple build in the east when he corrupted the men--I figured out the identity of the Priest of Morgoth who could be used with the "Evil Men" faction.

Tolkien Gateway and LOTR wiki both discuss him, he is referenced in the Silmarillion (Morgoth leaving behind lesser servants for he feared about the battles in beleriand) and other notes by JRR Tolkien, and it states that he never died or what happened to him.

So now I present to you guys the Priest of Morgoth: Fankil.

You can read all about Fankil here: http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Fankil & http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Wicked_dwarves

Fankil could be a Dark Purple mage looking character and I feel he is canonical and is a good addition to the faction as he was the one that was left behind to corrupt the Evil Men in the first place.

Also I wanted to add this for reference: http://merp.wikia.com/wiki/Fankil

Now I am for someone different and non-canon, however, just make them a Dark Purple looking mage.

LordofLinks,

disregard my post above. The Evil Men faction should have only Evil Men for Ringheroes as you suggested. I still feel we need 4 ringheroes though: Lord of Umbar, Suladan, King of Khand, and Rhun Emperor.

Fankil is too powerful and we don't know much about him, and evil already gets a bunch of super ringheroes: Sauron, Smaug, Saruman, Alatar (with Dorwinion eventually), etc.

lordoflinks:
I would only be in favour of the King of Khand being a ring hero if the fractions were split up; otherwise there is no need to have four.

dkbluewizard:
But LordofLinks,

If we implement the Evil Men faction as all one faction, who is to say that each King wouldn't want the ring for themselves?

Also, instead of calling the starting castle Rhun, could we just call it Evil Men citadel? Or something, I feel like giving the Evil Men a Rhun fortress focuses on Rhun too much. I agree with all your proposals, but lets just call the fortress the "Evil Men fort" or something. Maybe since there unity with Sauron, they had special forts like these built for them? Might be a possibility since the Ringwraiths managed most of these regions and would have similar buildings erected for the kingdoms of Sauron, and the rulers could still want to oust Sauron if they got the One Ring. I really see this a possibility with the Lord of Umbar since he would be a black numenorian.

lordoflinks:
With regards to ring heroes it is not that Khand would not want it; but rather I think it would be difficult coming up for a ring mechanic for the Khan that would be unique as compared to the leader of Harad and balanced; as the Khan is intended to be a scout hero that supports the Khand settlement building, if such a way could be found however I would be in favour but I can not think of one.
With regards to the fortress it is more aesthetic; in my concept the only buildings you would build in the fortress would be Rhun buildings so it would look silly to have black steel walls and red and gold buildings. Umbar in my concept is represented through a outpost that can be upgraded once to a Black Numeorian outpost (Think something similar to Angmar's system for outposts)
