Norbog news #4 Evil makes a comeback

Sauron has been gone for awhile now and lives is starting to return to normal for the free people of Middle-earth. Yet not everyone has it as easy as them. Orcs, Easterlings, spiders and all other sorts of previous enemies are now trying to pick up their lives as well. Norbog news is taking a look into the struggles and how they find a non-galadriel light at the end of the tunnel.

Evil retiring
Bob used to be an siege-engineer, but after their defeat at Minas Tirith his department was moved back to the sea of Nurn. Working from a cubicle with a Nurn sea-side view wasn’t what he wanted to do. When trodding back he met Merylin the morroval at the wastes.  After a few months together they decided to open up a retirement home for both in the eastern Dead marshes.

Unwelcome visitors

Hobbit and chickens all over Udun
Shortly after the fall of the black gate friends from Udun started complaining about an influx of chickens and henns at unearthly hours. Not much later hobbits and dwarfs started opening and closing hatches locking goblins out of their home when taking a stroll around the forgeworks. Plenty of people wanted to move, but they didn’t know where to go.

Expanding their little empire
Bob and Merylins little enclave started to grow and not much later they decided to end their retirement. Opening up franchises all over middle-earth close to major evil hubs to not bother the elders with having to leave their old spawning grounds.

No eating visitors or attacking hobbit villages are some of rules they had to implement after some HACCP issues  and complaints from neighbors. The Ancient Evil home in Angmar, Warg pens in Mirkwood or the Old Orc Camp in the Ettenmoors welcomes all evil retirees into their habitats.

Not ready to retire
Not all evil is at the age that think about retiring, but the vocation of soldier or Isengard woodcutter dont need the workforce it used to be. Some are thinking out of the box and are picking up the non-war-gauntlet with an iron grip.

Unreleased spiderling pet show by Jezabel

The Spirit of the Opera
Jezabel the black arrow has a flair for the theatrics. Before he was responsible for the subterfuge of Mazog in Moria. And he’s still proud of his lightning and pyrotechnics show in Ziraz Zigil until he was upstaged by a real balrog of morgoth.

These days he’s running the night program of the Frostbluff theatre with his reenactment of the Freeps Olvier twist “Can i have some (etten)moors porridge” and war drama meets Disney called “101 creeps spotted”.

His summer production of Stolen Sweets should hit the theaters this week. And his all spider production of Up (down, left, right and all clockwise) is planned for the Fall festival.

Not a welcome sight for any warg customer

Not all is sunshine
Old hatreds do run deep. And not all creeps are welcomed with open arms or paws. Kanjuk stopped his dairy service in the Ettenmoors after he kept getting harassed during his Milk Runs.  And the Bree taxidermy guild has not extended their welcome to Grams foots and paws to open shop in the Midgewater marsh fortress.

The biggest cultrips however seem to be Beornings. As some of the oldest denizens they occupy several key government and adminstrative positions. Dajib, spokesuruk of Reforged Creeps, said that the bureaucracy is a new battleground for nearly every new citizen especially creeps.  Every time an orc has submitted the required paperwork, the beornings change the forms.

Thrangs reenactment theater a great success
Freeps, just as much as orcs, want to relive their glory days. Thrang theater allowed them to relive their Shadow of Angmar nostalgia. And they are working on a new production. Originally scheduled for Summer yule it got delayed due to Rivendell overbooking. Each time they made an appointment to do research in the Library or Elrond they got cancelled. Elrond commented to the Norbog news, “The library was overbooked with raidgroups running more Thorog then expected. We had previous engagements to serve as the questhub for boss kills that we had to honor”.

Early outfit design

Rescheduled for christmas we’re going to get a rescaled Tower of Orthanc. Allowing everyone to relive the Rings of power, with shadow rings this time. Saruman will be played by Gandalf impersonators with a slight yule theme.

Saruman in santa hat with snow effects. The rings of power will be replaced with led christmas lights. Instead of saruman clones we’ll spawn High-elfs in worker outfits. To facilicate some complaints about the burden of the Thrang lava floor  draw from Thrang on fire-stability for other occupants of the Rift

Norbog news continues to bring you the news from both underground and above sources. Names of Creeps and freeps have been altered to hide their identities if the interviewee desired as much.
