Yeah, the Harad forces were absent about anyof their naval forces, if that's so, then Gondor Navy could use their sea-power to destroy the Harad like a piece of cake via waterway, yet JRRT never mentioned them. In addition, the Marines could also play their D-day to encircle to break their...
Emyn Arnen - House of Lord Faramir and Lady Eowyn
20 Narquelië ~ 27 IV
Arwen wandered alone in the gardens of Emyn Arnen as a light drizzle fell. The dripping from the trees accompanied the sound of the small creek that wound its way from the hills and through the estate. It had been a month...
Let's say that, for whatever reason, the Witch King never tried to operate in Angmar, but instead operated from Harad or somewhere near Gondor. And suppose that the internal struggles of Arnor had instead plagued Gondor, and eventually it fell into disrepair, but the Witch King had been driven...
(Many thanks to Halasian and Squint-eyed Southerner for talking me into continuing to write here)
This is the OOC Planning and Character Profile thread for the role play Arnor ~ The Summer of 44.
Feel free to ask any questions about the role play or the characters here. Please do not post in...
It doesn't mean he can't try and go for Rohan too, in fact, if he had his own realm of Isengard, the realm of Rohan, and the realm of Gondor on his side, even without the One Ring, he could at least keep Sauron busy long enough to try and take it from the Fellowship. (Truthfully, that was a BIG...
An initial small thought: why not the Siege of Minas Tirith since Gondor is a much greater area as has been described in previous chapters. It could be that Tolkien is emphasising that if Minas Tirith falls so Gondor will fall. There is an excellent diagram of Minas Tirith and a helpful battle...
I'm looking to get a replica of the Horn of Roland for an event, and I know that the Horn of Gondor represents the Horn of Roland. That leads me to my random question:
Does anyone know at what pitch the Horn of Gondor sounds? Specifically the scene where Boromir is being introduced to Mordor's...
I understand this is highly subjective but i'd like your take, personally I like the battle of Helms Deep more, despite it arguably being a less important battle in the grand scheme of things, cinematography wise i'd say it's better in every way.
Some of my reasons:
More practical effects, cgi...

As can be seen from military organization, Gondor is in fact a centralized monarchy in the vein of Byzantine Empire. It remained a fairly centralized monarchy, with not a trace of feudalism to be seen. History is also similar...
This is the fanfic thread contents
Here're some features's account about my fanfic.
1. Not much detailed combat was mentioned by JRRT about the battle of Black-Gate in 1944 T.A., yet we can make sure it's only Ondorhor's battle group was annihilated in the first engage among the total 3 battle...
This thread is for any commentary on the collaborative roleplay/fanfic Kin Strife of Gondor ~ The Reign of King Castamir and its prequel 'The Waning Days of King Valacar - Seeds of the Kin-Strife of Gondor'.
These were written over a span of 2½ years between March 2017 and the end of March...
The Waning Days of King Valacar
Years 1428 to 1432 III
Background Summary:
During King Rómendacil's reign as King of Gondor, he developed a strong alliance with the Northmen who lived to the east of Mirkwood during his battles with the Easterlings. To further this close friendship between...
If I understand correctly, the Numenorean kingdom of Arnor itself fell but still had some kind of heir, Aragorn, but the Numenorean kingdom of Gondor itself still stood but it had no king or legitimate heirs to the throne but instead a line of Stewards. Eventually, Aragorn, the heir of Arnor...

Centuries of seeming peace had weakened the Gondor southern front’s vigilance, in comparison with the northern front as the only first line against the Wain-Riders, till now. To distract Gondor’s forces...
It is written on this site that the Mordor army at the siege of Gondor consisted of 600,000 soldiers.

My son asked me who was stronger militarily at their peak, Gondor or Arnor, and I could not give him an answer because I don't know. Did Tolkien give us the answer? or at least some hints?
The free peoples ( especially Rohan and Gondor ) usually unite too face the forces of darkness in times of strife, but what would happen if these two countries of men waged war on each other's borders.there is a major battle on the border between the eastfoldand Anorien who wins
