    Why did the Valar Foresake Men?

    why did they then? I mean they helped the Elves in the last battle against Morgoth, but they wont help or even give word/advice to defeat Sauron/Saruman, why? its the last bands of men on the planet the last Free men anyway, i really cant see why they dont help! Thôl

    Men in Valinor???

    ive just started the Book of lost Tales 1, and in the first chapter, where Eriol arrives in Tol Eressea and comes to the cottage of lost play, Vaire tells him about the Path of Dreams ("Olore Malle") that leads to a village of Men... how can this be??

    Men of 🌋Mordor

    When Frodo Sam and Gollum have reached the black gate, an army of wicked men come by and are chanting something but i cant really make it out. I think one part of it says "WE ARE MEN OF MORDOR" but im not sure. anyone else know?

    The nine rings of men

    I have a question concerning the nine rings given to mortal men. Who were they given to? I think that they were given to kings and that the ringwraiths looked like kings when Frodo looked at them wearing the rings or at least LOTR says so, am I right? Anyway, what I mean to ask is this...

    The Men of Bree

    Is there any evidence anywhere to say that the Bree-men really are descendants of men of Middle-Earth that never went to Numenor?

    Not by the hands of men

    Glorfindel prophecied that not by the hands of men would the witch-king perish. Does this mean not by the hands of the race of men or not by the hands of the gender of men? This obviously would end the question who killed the witch king since merry is a man-man and EOwyn a man-woman... I...

    last alliance of men and 🧝elves

    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?

    Hobbits, 🧝Elves, Men, and ⛏️Dwarves

    OK, so we all know that when Elves die they go to the Halls of Mandos and when men die they leave the world entirely. Does it say anywhere that Hobbits or Dwarves go anywhere specifically or are they just gone?

    Nine for mortal men doomed to die....

    Well the nine were once kings of men right? Well here is the problem with that, I can only think of 4 kindoms in Middle-Earth: Gondor,Rohan, Harad, and Rhun, so thats 4, but I know that Gondor and Rohan didn't get rings from Sauron. So, that leaves us with, assuming Harad and Rhun each took a...

    Are Men "guests" on Arda?

    I’d like to start a discussion. The topic? Just read my signature and let’s comment. Who are we, after all? Are we a “product” of the natural evolution of the primates or are we some “angelic” creatures with a special ….. or non-special mission on Earth? How do YOU feel about all that?

    The Belief of Men

    From Morgoth's Ring: Athrabeth Finrod Ah Andreth said Andreth. That's an interesting belief that early men had. That they were inmortal too from the beginning. Could this be the way that Melkor used to turned Men against Eru and the elves? Che pensi tu?

    The Wild Men of the Woods

    In Return of the King, Theoden converses with the Wild Man Ghan-Bhuri-Ghan. Though Ghan-Burhi-Ghan reveals a bit about his people, the Wild Men, little else is told of how long the men of the wood have been in existence. I've read the Silmarillion once, but cannot remember if anything is...

    Will there be any evil men?

    I made this post in another thread but it seems worthy of it's own so here it is again: Has anyone heard any mention or seen any pictures to suggest there that the Haradrim, Easterlings or Dunlanders will be shown in the films? Will there be any evil men at all or just orcs? Will even the...

    Where did the men of Angmar come from?

    What was the origin of the Men of Carn Dum and the Witch Kingdom of Angmar? Were they exiled Numenoreans or something similar? And what about those they fought against, who had kingdoms on the Barrow-Downs? Can't find anything on this- help please!

    Who was the mightiest 🧝elf: Fingolfin or Hurin?

    I think it was Fingolfin but am not sure. I mean mightiest in the sense of 'warrior-like'.

    In Ea, is Death a More Coveted Gift than Immortality?

    Dear Silmarillion Fanatics, Do you believe that the gift of the elves, Immortal life on Arda is greater than the Gift of Men - death? I think this is a tough question, but I believe that the Gift of Men is ultimately greater than any gift given to Elves or the Valar because as stated in...
