Description
The Sanctum of Zigûr, where you'll be able to recruit the spellcasting Zigûr Cultists and shadowy Hasharin Blades.
All will serve Zigûr, Lord of Fire.
Zigur sounds like Sauron, now doesn't he?
Better check the lore compendium again.
I've never seen Zigûr and Sauron in a room at the same time. Coincidence? I think not!
It is both disturbing and thematically fitting that the Eastern Factions have a twisted version of Zoroastrianism. That being said I also Love it
My life for Zigûr!
You structures are so great
"Look at its wall which gleams like copper,
inspect its inner wall, the likes of which no one can equal!
Take hold of the threshold stone - it dates from ancient times!
(...)
Go up on the wall of Uruk and walk around,
examine its foundation, inspect its brickwork thoroughly.
Is not (even the core of) the brick structure made of kiln-fired brick,
and did not the Seven Sages themselves lay out its plans?"
Gilgsmesh = Zigûr confirmed?
Zigûrrat intensifies
Love the pyramid design of the building.
To me, this is the Sanctum of "I am looking very excitedly forward to playing as Haradwaith in addition to playing as Mordor and Erebor!"
--
Because this is an awesome structure design!
Zigur is what Numenorians called Sauron the time he served them as royal advisor in Numenor.
And Black Numenorians in Haradwaith most probably still refer to him with the same name which seems to be of Aduanic origin.
Can’t wait to see Zigur’s design himself.
