Herumor (Fourth Age)

This article is about the term in the Fourth Age. For the Black Númenórean, see Herumor.

Herumor was a term used by a dark cult in Gondor during the Fourth Age.

Around FO 220, a secret cult worshipping the Dark Lord, referred to as the Dark Tree, used the term Herumor to denote something of significance. Whether Herumor was the name of a person, an alias, a concept, or even a code word is untold. It is known, however, that the term was used in whispers in opposition against Eldarion in the Reunited Kingdom.

Sometime in the early months of the year 220, Borlas of Pen-arduin picked up on the whispers of Herumor from a man named Othrondir. Later, during a discussion with Saelon, he briefly pondered how Saelon had heard the name.

Etymology

The name Herumor translates into "Dark Lord" from heru ("lord") and mor ("dark").

Behind the scenes

These events were told in the unfinished tale known as The New Shadow. J.R.R. Tolkien does not specify the nature of the term Herumor.
