![]() Until he too succumbs and becomes one of Sauron's minions.Ĭelebrimdor's motives for branding IsildurIt was an experiment to gauge the full power of the New Ring. ![]() Half-confirmed He holds on to his morals longer than Celebrimbor, even after he becomes a Ringwraith during the post-game Shadow Wars mode, where he dedicates himself to resist Sauron's counter-offensive to reclaim Mordor. ![]() Pretty easy to see how Talion could lose sight of who he is, and why he originally started this path. As for this game, anyone's who's familiar with Tolkien lore knows how trying to use a ring of power, for any reason, will corrupt you (as has already been discussed here). Plus he would be within his rights to not want anything more to do with Celebrimbor, seeing as how he was the reason Talion was kept from death (and his family) in the first place, but he's sticking around anyway. Talion will fall victim to The Dark Side Will Make You Forget.There's already signs of it in the ending to Shadow Of Mordor, seeing as Talion chooses to remain in Middle-Earth to forge a new ring and fight Sauron, even though he has already killed the Black Hand, thus fulfilling his original goal of avenging his family. Jossed, though Talion does rebel as long as he can as a Ringwraith.so it's the Tolkein equivalent of Equilibrium? This, of course, will backfire because Sauron doesn't understand there is more to Talion than vengefulness, but it will turn out he's completely a nobody to the Fellowship of the Ring (at most, it will turn out that Talion's army decided they liked him better and desert Sauron, leading to a much easier quest than it otherwise would be for the Fellowship). Talion weeds out the weaklings, and then his competence as a commander and Orcish legion will be added to the Nazgul. In truth, Sauron wanted Talion to have another Ring of Power, as his reliance on it will turn out to be exactly like the other nine kings who had Rings of their own. It will be revealed that Talion coming to be a rebel against Sauron was all according to plan.Sauron is really intelligent when his ego and temper aren't getting in the way, and Celebrimbor is the kind of power-hungry "hero" he understands. Celebrimbor decides Eltariel is "trading up" and discards Talion like a wet sack of socks. Its not until the end of Act I that Shelob willingly returns the ring to them. She holds the Elf-lord hostage so Talion can hand over the Ring in return of him. In the actual story, Shelob kidnaps Celebrimbor shortly after the Ring's creation, requiring Talion to wear it in order to survive.The gameplay trailer was noted to be far into the game, with their combined abilities plus the new Ring of Power perhaps forging the Ring of Power is done in the beginning (or near so), then some sorcery takes Celebrimbor away, and Talion (likely not dying due to the New Ring's power) vows to get him back.The gameplay trailer shows Celebrimbor still reaching out of Talion, and in fact more independent than ever (he can even leap out of Talion briefly to synchronize kills). Instead, becoming or being engulfed by the smoke stuff. And his last words are: "Wraith! I'm coming for you." And we never saw the wraith return to Talion. ![]() At the end of the trailer, his eyes are brown their natural color. Talion and the wraith are no longer connected.Talion's eyes glow a light blue whenever the wraith controls him, and glow yellow when tainted by the power of the One Ring.
