Over the course of their travels, Talion and Celebrimbor have multiple encounters with Gollum, who has the ability to see and speak with Celebrimbor due to his prior contact with the One Ring. The two of them set out to uncover Celebrimbor's identity as well as to avenge the death of Talion's family. However, Celebrimbor (who suffers from amnesia due to his status as a wraith) instead ends up merging with Talion, saving him from death. Talion, his wife Ioreth, and his son Dirhael are captured and ritually sacrificed by the Black Hand in an attempt to summon the wraith of the Elf Lord Celebrimbor. The garrison is attacked by Sauron's Uruk forces led by three Black Númenórean captains the Hammer of Sauron, the Tower of Sauron, and their leader the Black Hand of Sauron (Nolan North). Talion, a ranger captain, is part of a Gondor garrison stationed at the Black Gate. (However, Tolkien had stated that, aside from Beren, dead men did not return to life in Middle-earth.) The beginning of the game is set during abandonment of the watch on the Black Gate, despite that watch ending around 1,300 years prior to the game's start date. The Monolith team worked with Middle-earth Enterprises, Peter Jackson and the artists at the Weta Workshop to make sure that the portrayed settings, characters and story align within canon. The story involves the Rings of Power, but is separate from Tolkien's canon. Talion discovers that the wraith who revived him is Celebrimbor (voiced by Alastair Duncan), the greatest Elven smith-master of the Second Age and the maker of the Rings of Power, who also seeks revenge against Sauron. The player will encounter Gollum (voiced by Liam O'Brien) in the game, discovering that Talion and Gollum have a lot in common. Mordor is not yet a barren wasteland in this story. The family of Talion (voiced and motion-captured by Troy Baker), a ranger of Gondor responsible for guarding the Black Gate of Mordor, is killed by Sauron's armies, but Talion is revived with 'wraith-like abilities' and heads into Mordor to exact his revenge.

Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings. The game takes place between the events of J.R.R. Due to this, events and characters depicted in the game are not canon. It also incorporates several events from the legendarium, though heavily modified. The game is a significant departure from Tolkien's written works, with many characters and events written specifically for the game. Meanwhile, the wraith inside him, Celebrimbor, struggles to remember his forgotten past, which will allow him to increase in power. Possessed by an immensely powerful wraith, Talion becomes a revenant, rising from the grave to avenge the murder of his family. At its center is Talion, a ranger who loses everything, including his mortal life. The game was designed to fill the gap between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and is described as a story of revenge, slaughter, and mystery set entirely in Mordor, the land of shadow. Its sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, was released on October 10, 2017. The game was released on Septemfor Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 18, 2014. Games which takes place in the world of J.R.R.
