Andormir was a man of Cardolan who was among the few men that was able to continue living in the half-deserted villages of Cardolan. Many of these towns and villages became merely meeting places for all the men from nearby farms when there were orcs in the area, which was quite often. Andormir was not quite a confident warrior though, while the skirmishes had been becoming more frequent and more dangerous he knew that it would become much worse at some point and wasn’t sure what he was capable of when it came to it.
The time had come when he would find out; and before long he found himself in the midst of the band of Arnor, being recognized by Brendil as having the potential to be a great leader. He himself was still less than confident that he would be able to fight.
As far as gameplay, players can expect to use Andormir’s abilities strategically to best augment his troops’ abilities and further his own strategy. Andormir can hold his own in combat, but he is not necessarily the most powerful hero on the field. He can be recruited from the Cardolan minifaction and can be very useful early-mid game.

The elf seemed weary of all the ages he had seen, but with all this that he had viewed had given him a good deal of wisdom. He often provided council for young Andormir, and later to the king’s heir Aranarth trying to show that above all else they must try to fight the feeling of despair. A warrior of Lindon who had been a part of the siege on Carn Dûm, he had volunteered to aid Commander Brendil’s division where he could. He is himself a decent fighter, being a great example of elvish prowess, but he is most helpful in providing experience to the others.

The tough battle-hardened commander of one of Arnor’s leading divisions, Brendil both headstrong and understanding. Though he may not always let the others know it, he is very willing to accept the help when he needs it from those he knows have the power to aid him. He was responsible for Andormir’s recruitment because he could see a lot of promise. However, as the battles come and go; his spirit starts to crumble beneath the burden of despair. Nonetheless, he is a strong warrior, particularly excelling in defensive capabilities and providing good leadership to fellow soldiers.

The heir to King Arvedui, Aranarth was forced to lead the retreat from Fornost. Himself capable of some decent maneuvers, he relies on Fírimastámo’s counsel heavily in his actions. During the time the Dúnedain spend in exile, he struggles with the troubles of war though he tries to pay heed to the elf’s advice concerning hope. He is a relatively light fighter, but he is also a capable ranger with plenty of stealth to compliment his strength.

The bold son of Andormir, Amdir comes late into the tale and is soon joined by his father for strategic maneuvers at a time when the military of Arnor was in exile. He is a strong young man and very caring. He is a lightweight fighter, but he has a few powers that help him to avoid devastating attacks rather than defend against them.

The descendant of that which once was the leading family in Rhudaur, Thalion possesses quite a bit of savvy concerning negotiation but anger at the betrayal of Hwaldar still burns inside of him. Although, like many of the other heroes, he can provide some leadership, he is capable of calling forth several volunteers when he is in need. However, he can still hold his own with his own spear in the lighter encounters.

During the Fall of Arnor, a few of the leaders in retreat encountered a mysterious ranger in the midst of battle who excelled in stealth and healing. Nightshade’s true origins are unknown and the ranger refuses to reveal any details, and as such, many find it hard to trust this stranger. However this ranger has proven to be a zealous warrior and is one whose talent in stealth is unparalleled.
