Wraith And Ranger: Shadow Of Mordor's Talion - Features - www.GameInformer.com

In Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series, Aragorn and the other Rangers of the North - along with their counterparts in Gondor - have a mysterious and alluring quality. These scouts live off the land and steer clear of the civilizations they silently protect. On the opposite end of Tolkien's good vs. evil spectrum are the Nazgûl - the twisted shadows of former humans hopelessly corrupted by Sauron. Similar to Rangers, these stealthy wraiths glide across the land mostly unseen, doing their Dark Lord's bidding with otherworldly might. Nazgûl are among the darkest examples of the spectral undead, called wraiths, lingering in Middle-earth. Talion, the protagonist of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a powerful-yet-conflicted combination of a wraith and a Ranger of the Black Gate. This fusion creates some enticing narrative and gameplay opportunities for Monolith Production's ambitious next-gen game.
