Is there anything in the game that gives the lore or talks about the pillars-of-salt, tree-looking things near brimstone lake that look a bit like transformed people?

The Giant-king Lorestone at Klael’s Stronghold and Warmaker Klael himself, talk about the humans who reveal a new weapon agains the Giant-Kings back in the days of the ancient war. In the end, we were betrayed. During a skirmish in the north, the humans revealed a new weapon forged of their strange science. It smashed through the ranks of my troops, turning those captured in its blast into solid stone. Those who survived fled south to lick our wounds. ~ Warmaker Klael When I now look at these …

Those are the Entwives. They were put upon the earth by Yavanna to protect her trees along with their husbands the Ents. Fimbrethil was the most beautiful of the Entwives. However, prior to the Third Age, the Entwives abandoned the Ents in order to start a garden east of Fangorn in what became the Brown Lands. Following the end of the Second Age, they disappeared. When Treebeard went searching for them, he could not find them.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

You brought it on yourself.

Well played.
