Morinehtar the Blue

* In Game

"A great warrior and worthy wizard, Morinehtar was sent into the East to slay the darkness festering there for years uncounted."
—Age of the Ring team

Morinehtar was one of the two Blue Wizards who travelled to the East and South alongside his friend and fellow Blue Wizard Rómestámo. The Two Wizards journeyed to these distant lands with the mission of hindering Sauron's operations by protecting those people in these regions who resisted Sauron's influence and rule, as well as ensuring that the forces of the East and South serving Sauron did not outnumber the West. Known as the Darkness-slayer, Morinehtar was the more martial and aggressive of the two Blue Wizards, preferring to directly fight against the servants of darkness with martial skill and as much magical power as he could unleash without risking violating the limitations imposed upon him and his fellow Istari. He and Rómestámo were both equally vital in curbing Sauron's power in the East and South and played an important if indirect role in the downfall of the Dark Lord. At the time of the later stages of the War of the Ring, both Blue Wizards happened to be in the East, specifically near Dorwinion, where they would rally the people of Dorwinion and the Kinn-lai to defend against the forces of Darkness.

Morinehtar the Blue is a recruitable hero and one of the two Faction Leaders (alongside Rómestámo) for the Adventure: Dorwinion subfaction of the Woodland Realm. He is recruitable from the Dorwinion Fortress.

## Strategy

Morinehtar the Blue is one of the two Blue Wizards, both of whom are powerful heroes for the Adventure: Dorwinion subfaction. In contrast to Rómestámo, Morinehtar is more oriented towards combat and directly fighting and destroying the enemy himself. If he is fielded alongside Rómestámo, the two of them both gain a significant armor bonus thanks to **Ithryn Luin**, making them significantly harder to kill. **Darkness-slayer** provides a passive damage buff to nearby enemies, and once he is Level 3, Morienhtar can activate the ability to give himself a significant damage bonus for 30 seconds, making him very deadly in combat during that time especially against enemy heroes and other high priority targets. **Spear of Oromë** is a powerful offensive spell that Morinehtar can throw as a projectile, significantly disrupting and damaging enemy units that are in the spear's path and making it an excellent tool against enemy armies. **Azure Guardian** gives Morinehtar both disruption and utility, as he can teleport from across the battlefield to a location and stun surrounding enemies briefly, giving his allies an opening to attack especially with the damage buff that Morinehtar already provides. Together with Rómestámo, Morinehtar can swing the tide of battle in his favor with his combat skill and magical prowess.
