The Roots of the Dark Worship could be traced back to Utumno where Melkor, the Dark Lord, demanded god-like adoration from his servants. So the first dark worship grew among the lesser minions of Utumno and later Angband, the Orc-servants whose first Dark Priest was the Demon-Orc Storlaga. Later, with the awakening of Men, Melkor disguised himself as a mighty man and became the teacher and seductor of the early men of Hildorien. He ordered them to build him a temple and to bring human-sacrifices. Most dark cults of Middle-Earth among the Wild Men were based on legends about this first Temple.
