last alliance

Not all Dark Numenorean Nval forces were transffered into Aman Expedition, right? So...JRRT mentioned nothing about these armed forces, whether joining the Last Alliance War or not. I knew that it's only Elves or Numenorean got naval military powers, so Dark Numenorean Nval forces must have...

1. Where're the King's Men? All the Numenor Military regular armed forces had been assembled for the Valinor's invasion, but how about those para-military, such as auxlliary forces mentioned by @Aldarion and composed of private commercial guild's both naval and ground armed forces, garrisoning...

From the battle of the Last Alliance: So that means there were: Evil Hobbits Evil Ents Evil Eagles Good Orcs Good Trolls Good Spiders?

Most sources say that glorfindel existed in this war. But there is no information in Tolkie's own sources. Do you think glorfindel fought in this war?

Was Sauron’s resurgence in the 3rd Age pre-ordained and any anticipated victory in the Last Alliance destined to be incomplete? I truly wonder about this…. In order to utterly defeat Sauron himself, his ring had to be taken from him and destroyed: plain and simple. (n.b. I said utterly...

I get that the later it was, the harder it would be to stop him, so let's pick a scenario that all too likely could have happened: Bilbo is not knocked off of Balin (or whomever was carrying him) and hence does NOT find the Ring and one of the goblin warriors finds it instead and soon, drawn by...

All right, I'm sure you all know that it has been said several times that the greatest amassing of forces occurred at the War of Wrath, and the second greatest gathering of forces was at the Last Alliance. Well, my question is this, what about Ar-Pharazon's colossal fleet he assailed the Undying...

Would anyone like to hazard a guess why the Nazgul were -seemingly- not present at any of the battles associated between Sauron and the Last Alliance? I have always wondered about this. My personal guess is that they feared the armies of the Eldar more so than that of the Dunedain, since the...

Which leader or general of the Last Alliance (namely Gil-Galad, Cirdan, Elrond, Durin, Glorfindel, Amdir Malgalad, Oropher, Isildur, Anarion and Elendil) do you think Sauron most feared, or had the most cause to fear?

I would like to discuss this event that hasn’t been described in detail by Tolkien, although it greatly effected the following Ages. 1. So, was this host even greater than that of Nirnaeth? Elrond seems to believe so (see LOTR: The council of Elrond), though he may not be objective since he...

Why when frodo was telling the story of the last alliance and gil-gald, before he could mention mordor, why did Aragorn stop him and not want to hear that tale?

Question!!! Where were the Nazgul in the battle at Mount Doom when Sauron lost the ring?? Were they there, and if they were in what form?

during the last alliance of men and elves, were dwarves also a part of the alliance and if so how many total troops would you have guessed were part of the alliance,and were there any balrog involved in the fighting?

In The Lord of the Rings it says that men and elves gathered in imladris for three years and forged weapons and made battle plans during the war of the Last Alliance. The host of forces was so large that it was second only to the war of wrath. How could this be possible? Wouldn't the battle of...

I've often wondered about the description of this battle. It states specifically that all middle earth was divided that day, even beasts and birds fought on either side. Specifically "only the elves were undivided." I've always wondered if that meant that some orcs and trolls fought on the...
