Monster:Taskmaster Núrsufum
From LOTRO Lorebook
The Ettenmoors is the focus of a battle between the Free Peoples of Eriador and the armies of the Iron Crown. At sundry times, possession of the many Rhudaurian ruins in the Ettenmoors changes hands in the stalemated struggle taking place in the wilderness. When Angmar’s army holds the fortress of Tirith Rhaw, the great troll Nûrsufum stations himself outside the walls, watching in silence.
Many mistake this troll’s inability to communicate well as a sign of low intelligence, but they do not take into account that trolls as a species rarely even possess the power of speech. Nûrsufum is a cunning taskmaster and the arch-enemy of the bear Goldhead, chief of the Morningthaw Wardens. He also has an affinity for the feathers of the Sun-touched Eagles, with which he adorns his helm.
Nûrsufum was created as one of the major quest bestowers in the monster play system for The Lord of the Rings Online. Free Peoples players will need to be careful around this behemoth. Monster players will receive quests to retrieve Sun-touched feathers and initiate the Raid to defeat Goldhead from him.
