Re: Cot, hall, and hearth ... what does a Ranger come home to?
Interesting. I never thought of the Dunedain as "hiding" in the Angle itself. I thought of it as their stronghold. I still think that the families would have had to raise crops for food. There is a technique called "guerilla gardening", but that wouldn't be enough for a settlemen...

Re: Cot, hall, and hearth ... what does a Ranger come home to?
I get more of a post-Roman Britian impression. I tend to see more of a walled villa rustica for the families of the Rangers. Such a structure also suggests links to a more civilized past. I suspect that the Dunedain had an agricultural based society--the wife and kids still had to eat, right? With t...

A Healing Soup

I can't speak to the taste or the smell though... http://herballegacy.com/Garlic%20and%20Onion%20Soup.pdf It looks great for things like a cold, flu. pneumonia, bronchitis...

Re: Thoughts on harps of the Dunedain?
Levers and pedals both still "feel" modern enough to me I'd be inclined to leave them off across the board. Partially b/c I expect the music of ME is more modal than chromatic (Numenorian excepted, perhaps?) but mostly b/c my mind is just singed with the darn things coming loose on my col...

Re: Thoughts on harps of the Dunedain?
Great thread! As you say, harps are mentioned a number of times in the canon of texts, but descriptions are rather lacking. Here are some of my thoughts on the subject: Elves I think that the Elves could have had any style tof harp hat we have available today--right up to the column type harp from L...
