Demons of the wind and air, the diabolical Winds of Taurang served the whims of Taurclax, evil Animist of the Court of Ardor in the Mumakan region of southernmost Middle-earth. The evil bargain that Taurclax had made with the Winds was that he would suffer with his new allies when they were "killed" (impossible to do) or incapacitated by becoming incapacitated himself.
