Thus their respective communities consider Angband and NetHack to be vanilla versions, in contrast to variants like ToME and SLASH'EM. NetHack changed the game even more with additions like dungeon branches.ĭevelopment of Angband and NetHack continues today both games have spawned many modified versions and patches.
Hack, though retaining the Amulet, added features like persistent levels, pets, and shops. Angband lengthened the game and featured the goals of killing Sauron and then Morgoth. Moria deviated from Rogue by featuring a town above the dungeon and by not featuring the Amulet the goal was to kill a balrog. In Rogue, the goal was to obtain an Amulet of Yendor.
#ANGBAND LIST OF ITEMS CODE#
Because Rogue did not include its source code and originally ran only on one platform, several Rogue clones came into existence. Rogue started as a binary for BSD, then a variant of Unix running on VAX hardware. These include lembas wafers, mithril objects, and monsters such as the hobbit and the balrog. Middle-earth is also the original source for Morgoth.Īngband and NetHack also share some elements from Middle-earth. Ents appear in some Angband variants, but NetHack credits the Ent to the original source, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. NetHack credits the dragon to Angband's ancestral game Moria, but the dragon still appears in Angband. In the source code (at do_name.c#line888), NetHack credits Morgoth to Angband. When the Lieutenant takes them away to supplement their education he tells them of Tol-in-Gaurhoth and the witch and her hound that threw him down and stole his lands.The hallucinatory monsters of NetHack include some monsters from Angband. He tells them of the crimes his brothers have committed against their family, compares them to Luthien in both appearance and temperament. Throughout their childhood in the weaving room Maglor is their primary teacher. They are half-convinced the only reason he didn’t slay them then and there was that Maglor tripped and revealed there were two instead of one. They’ve known it since they first arrived in Angband- their first view of the Lieutenant was his face contorted in a terrifying mask of rage as he snarled at Elros. Their jaw shape is slightly different, and the slant of their noses is just a bit off, but those are such trivial things. silmarillion tolkein silmarillion headcanons angband angband headcanon mairon sauron headcanon tw stockholm syndrome He lets them stay near him, lets them have important roles in his experiments, lets them be useful to him down in the mines.Īnd they love him for it. Its kinder for him to punish them than abandon them to the endless twisting corridors to be picked off by orcs and… other things. And of course, if the rules get broken, punishment follows. All they have to do to stay near him is follow his rules. But he makes something in their hindbrains scream safety in the midst of all the chaos. A single spot of beauty and order in the Iron Hells.Īnd that draws the elves to him.
It’s a twisting labyrinth of Escher-esque horrors -a contorting mess that would make anyone violently sick if they tried to map it out if they were anything less than a maiar.Įverything in Angband is horrific. tolkein silmarillion angband mairon sauron elves angband elves morgoth melkor angband headcanon silmarillion headcanonsĪngband is designed to be horrific, an abomination of architecture and iron that just looks plain wrong to any incarnate except orcs. They are kept happy.Īnd if the price of this is giving up their children to their masters, well. They are treated well kept away from the worst parts of the fortress, and especially from other elves. They are weavers and spinners- nothing like the toiling labour of other captives. Rooms populated by elves taken in early childhood so they do not know the world outside. There are rooms in the upper levels of Angband. Melkor wants more elf-slaves, wants the freedom to kill them without decreasing their already dwindling stock. No matter how many threats Mairon makes, no matter the methods he uses, he cannot get results. Orcs breed like rats, and Maiar and Balrogs can’t properly die, and thus don’t really need to be replaced. It is soon discovered that it takes effort to breed elves in Angband.
