men

Most common websites shared that The Easterlings have swarthy skin, black eyes-hair and also they called "Swarthy Men". Is there any record in Tolkien's works about their (Easterlings) skin tone or nickname (Swarthy Men)? Thanks a lot. Please let me know guys. I didn't get any satisfying...

Even with Sauron himself being defeated, it was pretty well stated that the armies of Mordor and its allies greatly outnumbered the armies of the West. While I can understand, if Sauron's armies of orcs and trolls might be weakened or killed if they were vulnerable to sunlight, surely the...

From Tolkien Gateway: Thoughts? Would it be possible for them to pass Beyond the Circles of the World? CL

Why Was Elrond Considered ‘Mighty among BOTH elves and men’ ? One I get, the other not so much. IMHO, Elrond is the powerhouse personality in LoTR. He has it all: strength, kindness, wisdom, and of course his fantastic lineage is the stuff of perfection, and he is referred to as being mighty...

Northmen have Anglo-Saxon based names, the Dunedain have Sindarin based names, the Dunmen have Welsh based names. I wonder what basis the Middle Men of Eriador and Gondor use. Would they be similar to those used by Breefolk? Some other form of Celtic? Nothing I can think of seems right.

Ok, so this is my first post, so I'll put a couple of things on the table: 1. I've had a look around the site and as far as I can see this has not a subject that has been repeated ad nauseam. If it has, I apologize. 2. If it's a stupid question I also apologize, but you have to start somewhere...

How is the love life of Men? Is it same like Elves? Coz, i dont really believe if their love like is like the elves'. Coz i have ever heard a state that Men is more alike to Melkor. Are there any prostitutes or brothel in Middle Earth? If so, where? Perhaps at Gondor? What is the age maximum...

this something that has always intrested me, who were the first men that awok ? what did they look like ? how many were there ? what were their names and what language they spoke ?

Besides the crazy things that Feanor and his sons did the Elven races are generally at peace with each other, and although the Silvan elves disliked the Noldor, it's hard to picture them going to war with each other. But when reading the Unfinished Tales I find that the hatred between Gondor and...

'We will come', said Imrahil; and they parted with courteous words.'That is a fair lord and a great captain of men,' said Legolas. 'If Gondor has such men still in these days of fading, great must have been its glory in the days of its rising'.'And doubtless the good stone-work is the older and...

My understanding is that the earliest men were more or less physically equal to elves and that they gradually declined as they interbred with lesser men. Obviously the numenoreans were blessed with longer life being descendants of Elros but were they ultimately greater than earlier men? Take the...

I have noticed that in re-reading the silmarillion, a cirtan number of the valar do not plan for the coming of men, they do no go in serch of man as they did with the firstborn. I belive that they dispised men (with the excpetion of ulmo). They were willing to let the elvs coming to Aman and...

3 Rings for the Elven Kings under the sky, 7 for the Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone, 9 for the Mortal Men doomed to die.........etc etc But who are these 9 men? Anyone know?

Ok, this rp is gonna be a group of rogue elves who believe that, since Sauron is defeated, that their people (the elves) have finally conquered Morgoth in his entirety. He has fallen, his greatest of all servants has fallen, and the orcs are all in hiding. The elves believe that men do not...

Aramanth sat on alone at the top of a hill. The hill was now bare and noone came the anymore, but legend of old said thar once Elessar had built a great tower here to mark the end of the great evils. It was fitting it was in ruins now. How many years, he thought, how many years since Gondor...

Hi, I wonder if Tokien created all of them.Does anybody read Eragon,the dragondriver written by Christopher Paonili in USA?There's some datails are similar to LOTR.Such as, in this story, there's Elves,Drwafs, men(of course) even dragon!The Elves also came from the sea on their ships (and they...

Trying to figure out this question. Who were the Men of the Vales of Anduin? Peoples at the Vales Of Anduin "They were descended from the Edain of the First Age, or from their close kin. Therefore they were more related to the Dúnedain than others. The Men of the Vales of Anduin...

Just a bit of thinking. . . Men are supposedly the race coming now into power in Middle Earth. All other races will fade, die out, go over seas, etc. HOWEVER! Let's compare men to Hobbits. Men tend to get into wars more, die quicker, and reproduce less. This especially is the trend among...

Who would you name as the very best of leaders among Men?

It was discovered in the first age that it was for Men and Elves to live apart. Why do you this was? Were there already signs that Men envied immortality?.What observations might have been made?
