The Lord of the Rings Online Concept Art

[GameBanshee News]

Turbine's official The Lord of the Rings Online website has been updated with new concept art of the Gorthorog, as well as a short story about the creatures. A snippet:

Recognizing the power of the Witch-king and of his master in Mordor, these creatures willingly joined with Angmar and Sauron. The smiths of Angmar outfitted them with powerful arms and armor, and they became Angmar's most devastating fighters, set at the front of Angmar's armies like the sharp edge of a blade. With their help, the Witch-king won many battles against the kingdoms of Arnor. Some say that it was Gorthorogs who tore down the Tower of Amon Sûl, toppling it into ruin, but none survive to confirm that tale.
