Herumor was a term used by a cult in Gondor during the Fourth Age.[1]
Around FO 220, a secret cult worshipping Melkor and Sauron, 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.[1]
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.[1]
Etymology[]
The name Herumor translates into "Dark Lord" from heru ("lord") and mor ("dark").[2]
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 Herumor.[1]
