Saelon, Lieutenant of Adunabar

Saelon was born in the year 188 fourth age in Gondor. His parents were black
numenoreans but were keeping it secret. His family were very proud and had only
married other black numernoreans to ”keep there blood as pure as possible”. As
the black numenorean Saelon was he hated the the thought of death, he asked his
father and his fathers many friends many times about the life on Numenor in the
days of Sauron but none of then had lived back then so they didnt knew much.
Even tho they couldn’t tell Saelon about the life in Numenor, they could tell
him about the war of the ring. It had been a big part of there fathers lives.
That way, Saelon learned about the orcs and he read all he could find about the
war of the ring. One day, Saelon heard people whispering. Whispering about a
person, called Herumor. Herumor was rumered to be one of the old servents of
Sauron, he had survived the war of the ring and was now gathering followers on
an island somewhere in the bay of belfalas. When Saelon heard the whisperes he
knew what to do. One night, he jumped out of his window and made his way to
pelargir. There he were captured trying to steal a boat. He spend 5 years in
the old prison in Pelargir. In the prison he started to talk alot with the
oldest prisoner, a son of one of the old corsairs of Umbar. The man told Saelon
that his son were at Herumors island, serving as one of Herumors bodyguards. He
also told Saelon the location of the island. The man died in Saelons second
year in prison, in Saelons third year he tried to escape but were caught and
were placed in the deepest and darkest prison cell. After two more years Saelon
finally escaped with the help of a young lady he had tricked into thinking they
were in love. Saelon had always been good at making people believe in things.
When he were a child he had once tricked a man into giving Saelon his money
pouch because he made the man believe it were actully Saelons fathers and that
the man had stolen it. His father had told him that it were a power the family
had learned in the days of Sauron back when Saelons grand father were one of
the servents of Saurons mouth in Barad-dur. The lady gave Saelon food and a
place to stay for the night. After that he cut her throat and hid the body,
stole a boat and sailed south. When he had sailed for five days a great storm
hit him, his boat got destroyed and he hit his head on an underwater rock. When
he woke up here were laying on the beach, the first thing he noticed was that
the skis were black. Then he noticed something, in the rocks below a great dark
tree were a sword placed into the stone. Something were written on it, Saelon
walked closer and touched the sword. As soon as he touched it, it fell to the
ground. On the sword someone had written: ”I claim this land in the name of the
lord of arda, Melkor and the king of numenor Ar-Pharazon” the text were signed
with the name Saelon. Suddenly Saelon heard the sound of water, he looked up
and saw that the sword had been stopping a little stream of dark water. Saelon
drank from the water and suddenly he felt much more fresh. He took the sword and
then he started walking south (note: he knew what direction south were because
he had a compass on him had stolen from the lady in gondor) after a while he
realised how hungry he were, suddenly five great animals appeared. Saelon chose
the biggest of the animals and killed it with his bare hands. Then he ate the
flesh raw and was suddenly felt with a new energy and then he continued walking
south. He walked for a couple of hours and then he saw a great city. He walked
around in the city for a while, looking at the houses and suddenly found
himself at the bottom of a great stair case. He climbed the staircase and
walked into a great hall, there he was, on a dark throne, Herumor. Saelon fell
to his knees and said. ”Great lord Herumor, i Saelon has arrived”. Then he told
Herumor his story. Herumor gave him a house and some new clothes. The next day,
Herumor wanted to see Saelon again. When Saelon arrived at the palace, Herumor
talked with him in private for a long, long time. The guards had never seen
Herumor this interested in a newcomer before. To this day, its still unknown
what Herumor and Saelon talked about. All that is known is, that the next day
Saelon brought many workers with him to the tree and on a great hill nearby.
Saelon build a great fortress with a dark tower in the middle. At the top of
the tower Saelon placed a red lantern. The fortress he named Ghash-Lug (the
fire prison) in the black speech of Sauron. But by the peoples of Gondor it was
named Minas-Sereg (The blood tower) because of the way the lantern turned the
skies red and because of the many gondorians that died in the dungeons
underneath the fortress. Saelon learned the dark arts of Sauron from Herumor
and became an evil sorcerer and were espacially feared in the gondorian towns
in Dol Amroth and in Pelargir. The sword he named Sereg (blood) and he used it
in his evil rituals.
