Thief Skills grey-cloaked man

The thief guildmaster doesn't wander far from where he loads, but can load in one of two places: a forest east of wild forest (2 zones east of R on the map) (be careful of wolves and bears), or on the trail winding upwards east of abr (abr = ancient broken road).

Mage Spells cowled sorcerer

Sorcerer guildmaster will wander far and wide, but generally loads in one of two places: either near wolfgate by NOC (usually in the mountains just west and south of wolfgate) (1 zone south and 1 zone west of the O on the map), or south of ABR in green hills. The ranger guildmaster used to be the hardest to find because he sneaks and hides, so lowbie bn's wont even be able to see him unless they are in the same room. I think the recent changes to sneak has made it so that he reveals himself, but it's still a task to find him. Like the sorcerer he will also wander far and wide, but since he regens either near khuzur or near woodhall (sw of khuzur), it's not too hard to find him if you xp/map in eregion.

Cleric Spells dark-robed man

The cleric guildmaster always loads on the “Path to Angmar” (not to be confused with “Angmarian Trail”). He never wanders far, so is easy to find. The “Path to Angmar” is north of loudwater plains if you follow a trail northwest (not buinen heath)

Tharbad

Getting Citizenship

I'm not sure how most people get citizenship without being killed by the guards in the process but here's how I did it. Outside north gate Tharbad you can “bribe x gold” and either get the message that your bribe was refused or hear the gate click open. If you get refused just up your offer until you get it accepted (you do not lose gold on a failed attempt). For my level 18 BN I had to bribe 19 gold. Once the gate clicks open the guards will let you speak to the secretary without hitting you. Again, for my level 18 BN I needed to pay 104 gold to get citizenship.

Mume Black Númenóreans are wanderers from the far southern lands. They are allied with orcs and trolls who directly or indirectly serve the will of Sauron. BN's have a number of penalties:

A BN will see free peoples by name or race only eg. *an Elf*. They can however see and group both orcs and trolls, thus proving to be valuable aides. BNs are ineffective vs. Lightning Bolt (they take extra damage).

Snippet from Wikipedia: Númenor

Númenor, also called Elenna-nórë or Westernesse, is a fictional place in J. R. R. Tolkien's writings. It was the kingdom occupying a large island to the west of Middle-earth, the main setting of Tolkien's writings, and was the greatest civilization of Men. However, after centuries of prosperity, many of its inhabitants ceased to worship the One God, Eru Ilúvatar, and they rebelled against the Valar. They invaded Valinor in an erroneous search for immortality, resulting in the destruction of the island and the death of most of its people. Tolkien intended Númenor to allude to the legendary Atlantis.

Commentators have noted that the destruction of Númenor echoes the Biblical stories of the fall of man and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and John Milton's Paradise Lost. The tale forms part of the theme of decline and fall in Middle-earth that runs throughout Tolkien's legendarium, ancient Númenor representing a now-mythical age of greatness. Scholars, and Tolkien himself, have noted likenesses between Númenor and ancient civilisations including ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, and Carthage. Its language, Adûnaic, was modelled on Semitic languages. Tolkien chose to make the names of its months reflect those of the French Republican calendar, translated into his Elvish languages.

A novel by Tolkien's friend C. S. Lewis makes reference to a land called Numinor as "the true West". The television series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set mainly in the Second Age, with Númenor's port city of Armenelos serving as a central location in the storyline.
