Re: Did the Men of Dale have a cavalry?
I know the Professor does describe the men of Dale as having Longswords, though I think and arming sword is better for me, given I plan to use a bow. I am wondering what type of shields might have been used. I had it suggested that I might use a Kite shield, (I don't necessarily want to use a heate...

Re: What if...
Good Question, I'd assumed it would be Europe as Iodo was the first to reply. If North America, I'd be captured/killed due to my race and age (not much good as an agrarian slave).

Re: What if...
After getting clothing and such, devise a printing press with movable typeset. Even carved blocks of wood would work to start. Gunpowder would be next, then a cannon and so forth. Charcoal water purification systems and grown penicillin next. Electrical batteries and a water wheel generator would be...

Very nice and an opal would look better.

Re: Question- Not really sure where to put this
Alter this, Orcs are not Elvish [/size] So while possessed of a longer span of lives than men it seems unlikely that the end vision of Orcish origin was an Elvish one. After all this reading I have arrived at a conclusion I am happy with but sadly the matter was never fully resolved. There is a sma...

Re: Ahoy!
54" string so a nice relatively short hunting bow- nice. Just a suggestion, buy yourself or make your own bow-stringer. It will help add years to the life of your bow because unless you've been stringing your bow over your leg for years, you'll end up twisting the limbs.

Re: Khazad Culture?
Speaking of Dain's red axe, I'd like to know how that was interpreted by everyone else when first reading about it. An axe rusted red? Metaphorically red/ perpetually covered in the blood of Dain's enemies? A red wood handle? Mythical unspecified red metal? Or simply an axe painted red? What was th...

Re: Khazad Culture?
Why were the spears of King Bladorthin abandoned? Simply put, they weren't abandoned, they were stored. Spear usage get restricted indoors so they were probably just set aside (stored)in a chamber for a time when they'd be needed and simply forgotten. Figure that chamber as the "everything draw...

Question- Not really sure where to put this
I'm far from the Tolkien Scholar so just wondering. According to Tolkien, orcs breed in the normal fashion and there are few females to males. Are orc females the equivalent of brood mares? What is their gestation period? How to they fit into orc society? Do the children mature a lot quicker than hu...

Re: Swedish media group buys Middle-earth Enterprises
I agree, Zaentz and his corporate heirs would sell their grandmother, but I suspect this company may try and develop what is, in my humble opinion, the antithesis of the Professor's work: a theme park. OOOH, "Going down to Goblin Town" - an underground roller coaster that plays that song ...
