‘Many houses there were… .
Thousands could dwell there, workers,
servants, slaver… .’
— The Two Towers
Whether captured by his forces,
sold into slavery, or born into
service, the Servitors are the living gears
of Saruman’s machine of progress and
industry. All accounted for, the servitors
number in the hundreds. Most
of his servants are Dunlendings, refugees
from Minihiriath and Enedwaith,
or Orcs and Half-orcs. In the early
days of his fall, Saruman keeps his
slaves and Half-orcs hidden from view,
but later he relaxes such efforts. The
Servitors are divided into three castes:
Servants, Craftsmen, and Agents.

‘Beneath the walls of Isengard there
still were acres tilled by the slaves of
Saruman. . . .’
— The Two Towers
The engines of war require wood
and coal for the furnaces, stone for
fortifications, and food and shelter
for the many soldiers and workers.
Servants make up the greatest
portion of the Servitors, and life
among them is harsh. The Master
of Orthanc demands efficiency and
productivity, and ever-increasing
quotas have reduced the servants to
work-weary thralls. A cruel social
order emerged as Saruman imposed
rules and regulations on his servants.
Informants became quick to report
suspicious behaviour from their
fellows in hope of gaining scraps
of favour. Paranoia flourishes: the
slightest misstep results in beatings,
loss of property or privilege, or outright
enslavement.

‘He had Men to guard his gates: some of
his most favoured servants, I
suppose. Anyway they were favoured
and got good provisions.’
— Merry, The Two Towers
Dunlending Hill-men were the first
to serve the White Wizard in number,
and took residence in Isengard soon
after he arrived. Saruman plied their
chieftains with promises of wealth and
iron weapons, and they gladly returned
to the vale they regarded as their own.
As the War of the Ring draws near
Dunlendings are delegated to baser
duties as Half-orcs and Uruk-hai gain
Saruman’s favour. Dunlendings are
stationed throughout Nan Curunír
to allay the suspicions of visitors.
Statistics for these types can be found
on pages 289-90 of the core rulebook.
Additionally, the following packages
can be applied to the basic
Dunlending statistics to create different
types of Dunlending NPCs. Each
package consists of advancements,
skill improvements and/or statistic
changes, and equipment.
