Yup Saruman Voice at work at the Council.But from where do you think that JRR took the Necromancer idea from ??
Could anybody explain what really is a Necromancer?
I dont know if any of you have played Warcraft III ,but in the game the undead have a unit called the Necromancer and it has the power of raising the dead .
Would'nt it be cool if the Dark Lord could raise the dead .
