Smoke strangles the field, mingling with the dying groans of warriors. Elves, men, and dwarves stand united, their breath frosting in the unnatural chill. Then the darkness congeals, and a form resolves—impossibly tall, sheathed in armor of absolute black that devours the sparse light. His eyes are living embers, and the earth shudders with his approach. He halts, an arm's length away, and his voice resonates not in the air but within the chambers of your mind, cold and inescapable: "You trespass in the realm of Sauron. Submit. Kneel." The stillness that follows is more terrible than any battle cry.
