Category:Fomors



Fomor are the spirits of those who were slain during battle. Fomors look like normal characters with black skin and glowing eyes. Their names consist of "Fomor (Job)" example: Fomor Thief.

The Formors of Tavnazian Archipelago do not aggro until you kill up to 5 Fomors, then they will aggro to sound. You can reset hate of Fomors by avenging their deaths from the invasion by killing Orcs and Gigas only found in Tavnazian Archipelago. To check Fomor Hate, talk to Resauchamet in Tavnazian Safehold.

While Fomors and Shadows are related in that they are both humanoid undead, they possess different special attacks and have different appearances. Their relatedness becomes apparant while doing particular RSE and JSE quests, especially those of White Mages.

Historical Background
In Irish mythology, the Fomor (more commonly called Fomorians, sometimes Fomori) were a demigod race which inhabited Ireland in ancient times. Some of them are depicted as goat-headed humans, though more commonly, they were viewed as giants. They are sometimes framed as representing chaos and wild nature, opposed to Tuatha Dé Danann representing civilization. The Fomor were associated with towers of glass in the western ocean (believed to be icebergs). Their name means "under the sea". There is some speculation they may be the gods of a pre-Gaelic population in Ireland, but the word Fomor later came to be applied to any pirates or seafaring raiders.
