third age

1-In the first age, the number of battles that balrogs participated in was limited. They appeared towards the end of the war in the battle of Dagor Nuin Giliath and were first seen with the Battle of Dagor Bragollach, then they were involved in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and fall of Gondolin and the...

Hi Could Morgoth See What Was Happening in Middle Earth From The Void? If Yes How? If Not Why? Also if He could How Did He Feel when He Saw That Sauron had Joined Him In The Void After Being Defeated At The End Of The Third Age?

What Would Have Happened If The Council Of Elrond Sent The One Ring To The Undying Lands?

Why did The Valar Appear to The Free People Of Middle Earth Only in The First Age And Not in The Second Or Third Ages? And Why did Eru Never Appear to The Free People?

Why Could Elves Of The First Age Of Middle Earth Fight And Kill Balrogs And Elves Of The Third Age like Legolas Could Not?

How exactly did the forces of weather, rain and other aspects of topography work in the ages before the rising of the sun?

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...

this time I am making a different discussion. As you all know, Tolkien never gave the number of armies in the wars in these two eras. So we do not have clear data about the army population in the wars in these two eras. We can only guess. Do you think the army population in the first era was...

I'm just curious about your opinions. As you all know, the most powerful servants of Melkor are the balrogs and dragons. But apart from these two beings, evil beings of the 3rd age such as uruk-hai, olog-hai, mumakil, fellbeast, nazgul, are from the first age orcs, trolls, werewolves, and...

Glorfindel's duty was clear during the 1st age as Gondolin's Golden Flower's governor. What's his clear duty in the 3rd Age? Was he appointed with multiple duties concurrently between multiple elvish states? Just like Aragorn II owned the Nothern Rangers as well as Gondor's Umbar marine...

The Elves of the First Age were more mighty and skilled than those of the 3rd Age. But the Orcs of the 3rd Age were stronger than those of the First Age. The Uruk-hais are the biggest indicator of this. In which of these two times did more battles take place? list of battles; WARS OF BELERİAND...

What age battles were greater in importance and number of armies?

I've started a new series about the lore of Middle-earth and started with the Fell winter of the Third Age 2911-2912 T.A. I've done some extended research on the matter and made some inputs as can be seen in the video. I hope that this extended research can bring forth new knowledge about the...

The entry that King Argeleb I was slain in battle in appendix B The Third Age is erroneously dated with the year 1977 instead of the year 1356 that was in the edition of the ROTK by George Allen & Unwin from 1966. As a consequence the following entries up to and including the entry that many...

In another thread, we (especially me) discussed whether there could be a connection between the Third Age and the First Age Easterlings... But I want to ask something beyond that. Those who are bored with the similar thread or are uncomfortable do not have to respond. Can we comment on the skin...

I want to clarify something, in the one thread, about that I found some information that just the evil side Easterlings of the Third Age (at least, almost) were relatives and of the same origin with the previous age Easterlings. First of all; “The Easterlings of the First Age were related to...

Are the Easterlings known as Swarthy Men of the First Age and the Easterlings of the Third Age Men with the same culture? Therefore, can we call the Easterlings of the Third Age as Swarthy Men? Or are the two Easterlings communities different communities? Thanks in advance :)

There are a few areas of Middle Earth during the Third Age I'm struggling to find any proper information about which I'm hoping some of you guys might be able to help me with! The Region West of the River Lune and East of the Blue Mountains: Is it part of Eriador or Lindon? Does it have a...

The films obviously portray Sauron as confined to the form of lidless eye. But did Tolkien intend for this to be just a metaphor for his near-omniscience? Did Sauron in fact have a body during the third age? And if so, why didn't he come forth to lead the war effort himself? I like to...

Hi all! New user here with a question that I was hoping you all could help answer. I was wondering why after the fall of Sauron in the second age that Barad Dur / Mordor didn't have a closer watch to prevent it from being taken over again. Barad Dur could not be completely destroyed because...
