Who would win if rohan and gondor had a ⚔️war??

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Right -- and the Mongols became more successful with sieges in the east, after "drafting" Chinese engineers.

But as I said, I oversimplified somewhat.

 

[Olorgando]

Yes,some of my past posts were "bottle tested" indeed.
Hence my familiarity with the edit function. 🤪

I always blame stuff like that on my spellchecker - needs an update, a reset, whatever ... 🤥

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

I mostly blame whiskey.🤣

I'm afraid you're compounding the problem. 😆

Just joshing! But we do have an edit function, you know. 🙂

Yes, I should be embarrassed but I keep coming back . I am aware of editing devices, but even they have no idea what I am trying to say. I could use the excuse of lack of time, I usually type out fast and let it go. But it happens even when I take my time so...

If Rohan and Gondor had a war, Mordor would win.

If Rohan and Gondor had a war, Mordor would win.

I was going to respond "neither" as it would never happen, but Haleth said it better.

My feeling that it would never happen is due to the fact that Rohan and Gondor together maintain the Signals Corps... those hardy souls who stand vigil atop the chain of mountains between the two realms, ready to light the signal fires. The sheer depth of infrastructure and coordination required to maintain such a cumbersome and costly system for decades and centuries shows a degree of cooperation that would prevent them from ever coming to war between themselves.

If Rohan and Gondor had a war, Mordor would win.

Yes, quite true. I didn't bother voting in the poll.

I think Gondor is still, at this low point in its history, a mightier force than Rohan. Plus Gondor still has Dúnedain, who are described as men to children when compared to the Rohirrim. Èowyn thought that no man of Rohan could match Faramir in battle when she was with him.

 

[LadyGaladriel1980]

I vote for the Rohirrim, because i think, they are very good warriors and very good horse riders, and i guess, they are very brave.

Èowyn thought that no man of Rohan could match Faramir in battle when she was with him.

She could be influenced by her growing feelings for him.

 

[Rōmānus]

She could be influenced by her growing feelings for him.

Perhaps, but her comparison is similar to Gimli’s comparison between the two peoples, “the Riders of Rohan look almost as boys beside them” (LotR, The Passing of the Grey Company). Even earlier on Éowyn had thought that “no mightier men had she seen than the Dúnedain”. She might have feelings for Faramir, but I’d think her position is more influenced by Faramir being Dúnadan.
