Throughout the dark places of Middle-earth, there can be found terrifying, bodiless spirits bound to the physical world. These ghostly spirits are the shades of Men of times past. Like the Oath-breakers roused by Aragorn on the Paths of the Dead, they are bound to Middle-earth by an ancient curse, doomed to remain on the fringes of the living world until their oaths are fulfilled.
The Dead are plentiful around different parts of the world ranging from wights and spirits animating waters through crawling severed arms that will try to defeat you as you adventure through the world. This category includes such creatures as wights, shades, and skeletons.
