Taking the new logo out for a spin, and letting Sauron and the Minions have their moment:
13 - Sauron's Minions.
I've taken the liberty of naming the minions - Draugluin is obvious, Thuringwethil is the veiled woman, and the orc-like creature gets to be Gorgol, who gets one mention in the Lay of Leithian:
Quote:
They whispered 'Beren', and began
in secret swords to whet, and soft
by shrouded hearths at evening oft
songs they would sing of Beren's bow,
of Dagmor his sword: how he would go
silent to camps and slay the chief,
or trapped in his hiding past belief
would slip away, and under night
by mist or moon, or by the light
of open day would come again.
Of hunters hunted, slayers slain
they sang, of Gorgol the Butcher hewn,
of ambush in Ladros, fire in Drūn,
of thirty in one battle dead,
of wolves that yelped like curs and fled,
yea, Sauron himself with wound in hand.
Thus one alone filled all that land
with fear and death for Morgoth's folk

(Side note: Beren the Outlaw is awesome.)
Sure, he's meant to be dead - but then, Finrod's meant to have a brother living in Nargothrond. Unlike Boldog, the other named Leithian orc, at least he wasn't reported dead
in this very scene. Or maybe it's just another Gorgol.
(His name is probably contracted from Gorngol, which means 'dread slaughter'. He's a charmer.)
