#SKILLS ANGBAND SERIES#

The majority of prisoners here had some amount of experience with precision work and similar prior to their capture. The main forges produce weapons, armor and other materials and are worked by both orcs and elves with oversight from several Maiar assistants to Sauron Though Sauron has his own forges for experimentation and projects, there are few elven prisoners here. (More about branding in the first Hierarchies post) This is of course in addition to the brand all prisoners receive. These elves are branded with the first letter in the common word for forge with those who have been trained in more specialized work often having additional marks, sometimes symbolizing the Maia who has claimed them. This number is not fixed, there have been periods where there were nearly two hundred in the forges. There are about one hundred and sixty elves in the forges with another fifteen performing maintenance tasks and two rotating healers assigned. The forges of Angband hold the second highest population of elven slaves after the mines though there is a very large difference between the populations of the two. Obviously I use as much canon information and inferences as I can however some of this is my own invention as well.
