	The Wildmen and Easterlings (Preview) I'm fairly sure that the 'wildmen' were men, but I'm not so sure what these 'Easterlings' were. Do these peoples have a history, or did Tolkien just throw them in for additional flavor? From the movies, it appears that the Easterlings were a sovereign state with a controlled, uniformed army (as v...	Saba	8	4063		Jan 8, 2012 by Bilbo Baggins
	Most Important man? (Preview) I have often pondered on who would be dubbed the 'King of Men'... The Elves have Ingwe as there High King for all realm of the Elves in Arda and the Dwarves have Durin likewise. But Men do not seem to have one. They have many great Men but who do you think could take lordship over them all in all the Ag...	mouth of sauron	29	3295		Aug 28, 2011 by Huan the great hound
	Would it have been better, to have never met the elves ? (Preview) Hi I'm a man....not a child. Hmmmmmm a sounds good, unless you are in the company of elves Elves = stronger, fitter, faster, wiser, older, better looking and immortal. Now that's quite some company to keep. Quite god like to you or me The point is, would it have been better to have kept lesser company ? I...	Filli	23	3667		Jan 28, 2011 by Meimei
	The Beacons... Rohan/Gondor Signal Corps (Preview) For some reason I keep thinking about the signal corps... those fellows who kept watch on lonely mountain tops through night and day, rain and snow, year-in year-out... waiting for the signal fires. Think about it. There were at least ten of them, from Minas Tirith to Edoras (anybody got an exact coun...	Will Whitfoot	29	15469		Aug 27, 2010 by Bear
	Question on Aragorn and the Dunedane (Preview) I hope that I havent inconvenienced anyone by putting this in the wrong place. What exactly is a Dunedane? I recall that in the film Eowyn was surprised at Aragorns age and remarked that he must be a Dunedane. Aragorn then said that there were not many of that folk left. Who are they and why are there so fe...	Saba	9	2719		Jul 9, 2010 by Bilbo Baggins
	The Character and Character changes of Eowyn. (Preview) In Eowyn, J.R.R. Tolkien constructed a character of depth and complexity. From a exactly feminist viewpoint, Eowyn's story is not essentially a positive one. With a life spent at the hearth, tending to her warrior kinsmen, Eowyn is left nearly suicidal, hungering for death and glory on the battl...	Bear	23	11689		Nov 21, 2009 by Galin
	"When I dislike seeing mortal daughters of Men" (Preview) I dislike seeing mortal daughters of Men Dwelling in their houses I dislike seeing mortal daughters of Men With their hands in dough I dislike seeing mortal daughters of Men Accompanied by eagle-eyed mothers I dislike seeing mortal daughters of Men Ever...

	Steward of Gondor (Preview) Can anyone tell me why the Steward of Gondor was insisting on setting fire to his son Faramer when it was clear he was not dead but still alive?	Galadriel	12	2674		Jul 1, 2007 by kinganarion
	Greatest Man ( 1 2 3 ) (Preview) Who would you say is the greatest of men throughout the ages? Isildur Hurin Elendil Aragorn Turin Ar-pharazon Earendil (half man though he is)	Glorfindel	95	7845		Jun 19, 2007 by kinganarion
	Ringwraiths A.K.A great Kings of Men (Preview) I understand that the ringwraiths were once kings of men, but it never really explained were they ruled or came from. Khamul was an Easterlig Lord, and the Witch King founded Angmar, but is there anything ever said about the others. Also why exactly was the Witch King more powerful than his fellow mate...

	Edoras defences (Preview) It appears that Edoras had very feeble defences. The outer wall was made of wood rather than stone so all an enemy would have to do it pour flamable fluid onto it and set it alight. Then the whole wall would go up in flames including defenders on top. The wall would then burn until, depending on the severit...	Glorfindel	13	2691		Oct 8, 2006 by The Might
	Who would win in a fight? (Preview) Who would win in a fight, Aragorn or Borimir?	Gothmog	23	3736		Oct 3, 2006 by Gothmog
