Talion, a Gondorian Ranger, arrives at the Black Gate with his family, only to be ambushed and murdered by the forces of Sauron.
Talion is resurrected by the wraith spirit of Celebrimbor, the Elven smith who forged the Rings of Power, binding their fates together.
Empowered by Celebrimbor, Talion sets out to hunt down the orcs responsible for his family's death and to undermine Sauron's forces.
Talion infiltrates Mordor, systematically assassinating and dominating Uruk warlords and captains to dismantle Sauron's army from within.
Talion faces off against the Black Hand, a dreaded lieutenant of Sauron, defeating him to weaken the Dark Lord's command.
Through visions and memories, Talion discovers Celebrimbor's history and his role in crafting the Rings of Power.
The combined efforts of Talion and Celebrimbor slow the advance of Sauron's dominion in Mordor, creating fractures among the orc leadership.
