ome say that Amdûr is an orphan, raised from the gutter to join the ranks of the vast armies of the Dragon Emperor, others that he is the son of a princeling who turned from a life of privilege to dedicate himself to the art of the blade. What all who dwell east of the Sea of Rhûn agree upon is that he is one of the greatest swordsmen among the innumerable hordes sworn to Sauron’s cause. It was Amdûr who founded the order of Black Dragons which forms the elite vanguard of the Easterling armies, and among the Dragon Knights his name is spoken with a mixture of reverence and fear.
