Wraith

Wraiths were the dreaded servants of the Dark Lord Kritias in Shron throughout the First and Second ages, and in the later years of the Third Age they dwelt in Vondor.
== History ==
The Wraiths were once great powerful Mortz that served Kritias. Kritias meant and achieved the goal of corrupting the powerful Mortz. Kritias used the Inferis locket to leave the Mortz spectral, invisible to all but those who could see into the wraith world, and slaves to the will of Kritias. Their lives and power became bound to Kritias' via the Inferis; as Kritias grew or diminished in power, so too did the Wraiths.
== Weapons and Abilities ==
The Wraiths were sustained by the power of Kritias. The Wraith-king in particular was difficult to slay, for any weapon that struck him would be destroyed. The Wraith's own weapons included long swords of steel and daggers. Their leader possessed a powerful black mace as well. Their arsenal of deadly armaments was not confined to physical means; they also had powerful voices, which brought terror into the hearts of mortals and a general aura of dread. They wore hauberks of silver mail and had enhanced senses of hearing and smell.
They could not see during the day as mortals do; instead they see shadowy forms. During the night they see many signs and forms invisible to mortal eyes; it is at night that they are to be feared most. They can smell the blood of living things that they desire and hate. Their presence can be felt as a troubling of the heart, and they can more keenly feel the presence of others. At all times, they sense the presence of the locket and are drawn to it.
