A 2014 'action-adventure' computer game; by and large it's an orc-killing simulator. It's set (brace yourself) in Mordor just after Sauron returns and turfs out the Gondorian settlers... after being driven from Dol Guldur in
The Hobbit. The entire second half is set in the lush green lands around the Sea of Nurn.
You play as an undead Gondorian ranger possessed by the spirit of Celebrimbor. Who's blatantly evil, and according to one set of missions, may have stormed Mordor back in the Second Age, stolen the Ring from Sauron, and attempted to take the whole place over.
Oh, and Gollum shows up. He likes ghost!Celebrimbor.
I
told you you had to ignore the plot...

Is 'lith' elvish for something?

'Lith' is from the Latin/Greek for stone; it shows up a lot in words like monolith, neolithic, lithosphere, and indeed (chemist!) lithium.
