Rangers of Ithilien were set up in the latter 3rd Age as a all-round rapid elite knight-class military forces, yet before their appearance, who're in charge of their duties and operation? There'd been too many reasons that Gondor needed such all-round elite military units, such as rapid tactical...
Reading through ROTK and I noticed something in regards to the flag of Gondor. It seems the flag with the 7 stars, and the crown above the white tree is the flag of the house of Elendil. In the chapter Minas Tirith it seems pip sees the "the flags and white standards of the citadel." I remember...
The uruk olog-hais of the third age were stronger than the orcs and trolls of the first age. In the first age there were elves who slew the balrogs. But there are the rohan cavalry that can defeat mumakils 2-3 times the size of a balrog. Do you think the numenor and gondor people of the third...
What battles did Aragorn take part in when he served Thengel and Ecthelion under the pseudonym Thorongil? Are there any names for the wars Aragorn participated in in his early life, apart from his attack on the Umbar fleet?
Hello there and welcome to the 4th episode of The Lore of Arda series. The YouTube series where I cover all sorts of lore-related topics.
Today's topic is the Argonath, as always I try to present something interesting and hopefully new to Lord of the Rings fans. Feel free to leave a comment when...
Disputes settled, Realization to a greater threat, Knowing an ME under the dark cloud of Sauron was not beneficial whatsoever, Practically redemption to live alongside their own race etc.
Haradrim?
Easterling?
Corsairs?
Variags?
I've been wondering this for a long while and tbh I don't...

Is there any information about what is contained in the Unfinished Index and in the Nomenclature about Durthang in The Lord of the Rings - A Readers Companion? I noticed that a lot of pages in the internet claim that Durthang was built by Gondor. This seems to be based on the entry for Durthang...
In other words, could Gondor c. 1050 have defeated Mordor c. 3019?
Obviously, Gondor at the end of the third age was able to defeat Sauron's forces on the Pelennor Fields. I'm talking about an actual campaign. We know Gondor went into prolonged decline for the latter half of the third age. But...
Moved reply from this thread to avoid off-topicing much...
It is not fanfic. I do not explain it in detail before because, frankly, it should be obvious to anyone who has even superficial knowledge of Gondor's and Byzantine history both. If nobody here understands relation and similarities of...
My grading standard is their total combat performance(Annihilated targets, operation achieved rate, kill ratio and so forth.) and JRRT's direct comment(Like Heavenly Arch were commented to have the best archers units). In addition, all the options such as single combat ability, logistic working...
As you have known, Gondor and Rhovanion get allied far before the Wainriders-war. Yet Gondor knew nothing about the Wainriders till the Rhovanion was game-over.
Here comes some very strange bugs.
Did Gondor have no intellectual agents in Rhovanion to keep an eye on those easterlings?
Why...
I'm writting some new stuff based the war in 1944 of Middle-Earth now. Do you know what it takes to be a Gondor citizen?XD
Nah, just some stuff to kill time and I found too few self-written fanfics about wars in 1944 of Middle-Earth. Enjoy the reading XD
Due to the new rules about comments to...
