Note: Please do not post in this thread as it is a 1x1 collaboration between Halasian and I. If you have any questions about it, please ask them in the Arnor ~ The Summer of 44 OOC Thread. Vardarianna and Mercain Annúminas City Loëndë 44 IV Vardarianna was excited to be in the...

How did the Arnorians develop blades that can override the power that bound the Witch-king together? Wouldn't that mean they'd be competing with not just the power of one of the 9 but the power of the One Ring as well?

The Dunedain Calendar Yestarë: First-day', the name used in the Elves' calendars, and those derived from them, for the first day of the year. The actual date of Yestarë varied from calendar to calendar; according to the Reckoning of Rivendell, it fell on modern 28 March, while in the calendars...

So in the Two Towers Faramir shows to Frodo and Sam the "Standing Silence", a custom of the Rangers of Ithilien (I assume all the Dúnedain of Gondor do this as well). They stand and look towards the west in silence before a meal. As Faramir says in the book "[...] we look towards Númenor that...

So in the research I've been doing it says that Aragorn's rule as Chieftain of the Dúnedain started as soon as his father died (T.A. 2933). However, by that point Aragorn was only 2 years old, and wasn't told of his lineage until he was 21. So during the time that he was raised by Elrond, was...

For more than a thousand years, through a number of generations, the Dúnedain lived on. Although they never again became a numerous people, they still managed to maintain the line of Elendil all the way through to Aragorn. This doesn't sound quite like a coincidence to me, but perhaps others...

Hi all! Hope you don't mind but I thought I'd start an OOC thread for the DuneDain Inn. So this is where all discussions are posted for the DuneDain Inn.

*Yawns* another day, another restock of The shire brandy. Sartin, the bartender, had been the laughing stock of the Best Inn awards. " DRINKS ON THE HOUSE!" No one really hears do they. He chugged a Brandy and sat down. The main reason the Inn was still open was that once in a while a certain...

(( first thread. anyone can join, just post character. mines below.) The man stumbled along dragging his sword along the ground, his leg bloody and his arm was the same. An arrow pierced his shoulder. He barely escaped the bloody battle of the Haradrim and the Corsairs.The whole thing was a...

Battle of the Pelennor Fields - The Aftermath Dated 23 Súlimë of the Year 3019 of the Third Age Smoke still rose from the white city, but its fires had for the most part been contained and were fading. But the black smoke stains tarnished its white stone façade… where the stone was not damaged...

RotK, Homeward Bound: Why did the Rangers bother to return to the North? Why did they not stay with their Kinsman, Aragorn, the new king, and stay in the country that rightly belongs to them?

Both Númenórean kingdoms, Arnor and Gondor suffered from civil wars. But the question I ask is which was the most destructive? Initially people claim that the Arnorian civil war was by far more “destructive”. The sons of Eärendur, Amlaith and two other unnamed (in any texts) divided Arnor...

Were all the Rangers (North and Ithlien) Dunedain?

Who do you think is the Greatest Dunedain ever? Isuldur? Aldarion? Elessar? HymandracilI, Anarion, Elendil...etc.. Please state your reasoning behind the choice of your favorite.

ok- i need some clarifications I understand all about the Dunedain. I know that their numbers dwindled and bloodline intermixed. So then what makes the dunedain in the lord of the rings different than the common folk of gondor? Weren't the steward's from numenor and therefore dunedain...

Hey, I was wondering, are Numenorians and Dunedain the same thing, just different name? Also, the Numenorians were started by Eorl, and he was a half elf. Half elves, though they can choose to be counted among men or elves, still have the blood of both men and elves in them right? Half-elf men...

Why did the Dunedain wait so long to reclaim the throne of Gondor and re-establish the Kingdom of Arnor? Were there too few of them to fight Sauron, unless they were sure the ring was destroyed? It seems like so much about the one ring was forgotten, so why wait? In all those years, Sauron...
