[ Adar is barred from getting anywhere near the spider-guarded doors; he is limited to the floor above the dungeons where he lives, held at bay by the orcs guarding the passes. They respect him more than any other of the generals but cannot allow him anywhere near the upper echelons of Angband and only repeat what they were told, as well as a few whispers from those who have known him longer: Sauron is furious and bends all his artes and thoughts on the Black Star, raising him to shift his shape into more lethal forms (Draugluin and Thuringwethil are the teachers in Sauron's absence). Training the child. The orcs who march upstairs never come down anymore ... so they apologise, but they cannot let Adar pass or they will share the same fate. ]
