| “ | No one lives in this land. Men once dwelt here, ages ago; but none remain now. They became an evil people, as legends tell, for they fell under the shadow of Angmar. But all were destroyed in the war that brought the North Kingdom to its end. | ” |
–Aragon in The Fellowship of the Ring, Flight to the Ford | ||
Rhudaur Hillmen are a race of wild men who are similar in many ways to the Dunlendings and are allied with the Orcs of Angmar. They live in the northern reaches of Middle-earth, in Angmar and surrounding lands.
The Rhudaur Hillmen are a sub-faction of Angmar. Other NPCs of Rhudaur include the axe-thrower, banner bearer, chieftain, and warrior.
Spawning
Rhudaur Hillmen primarily spawn in Angmar. They can also spawn in nearby regions, specifically the Ettenmoors, Coldfells, and Lone-Lands.
Appearance
The Hillmen have the look of wild, uncivilized thugs, but that is to be expected when one lives alongside Orcs. They wear ragged, dirtied clothing coupled with unkempt hair. They also have bloodshot eyes.
Rhudaur Hillmen arm themselves with an array of bronze and iron weaponry. They wear no armour. Currently in Public Beta 33.2, there are Hillmen females.
Behaviour
The wild, uncivilized look of the Hillmen reflect their behaviour. They wander their homeland and will attack any foes of Angmar. Like most NPCs, Rhudaur Hillmen have the capability to bestow mini-quests.
Drops
When killed, Hillmen have a chance of dropping bones, food, pouches, or worn equipment.
Hiring
Rhudaur Hillmen may be hired from a Rhudaur Hillman chieftain for 15 silver coins if the player has at least 100 Angmar alignment. The price will decrease as the player gains alignment with this faction.
