Naw, they just didn't have the technology needed for an all-out blood fest, like we do. If Midieval Europe had nukes, the death tolls would be just as high, if not higher, as they are today! |

Yeah, but fantasy's just another reality. Elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. don't exist, but if they did than LotR would be totally possible. At least, that's the idea! It's fun to post things here that... |

Hey, Neurion, I think your cover's blown! ;D Seriously, though, nice use of language, very Tolkien-esque. I've been trying to figure out how to do that, and can't. |

Good theory, Encaitare. Either that, or he was framed by Aragorn. At any rate, welcome (back), Witch_King, and I hope your (new) death will be as pleasant as your first, but a little more Elf-free!... |
