Holding a grudge against the Dunlendings because of what their distant relations did is pretty racist in itself. No wonder the Dunlendings were unfriendly to the Gondorians. |

Should Gondor have given Calenardhon to the Dunlendings?
The Dunlendings like any men weren't inherently evil. They in fact only turned over to the evil side because they were done out of the fertile lands of Calenardhon by the Rohirrim. If Calenardhon was... |

The 'unexplained vistas' is a great part of Tolkien's attraction, if he explained every little bit of his world and its history, well, they'd be no need for this forum for one! |

It must have been literally years, why else would Olwe abandon his brother? Unless the Elves decided to abandon for all eternity anyone they didn't see for a couple of hours. |

Nellas is a symbol of the goodness and softness inside Turin. This goodness is the thing that saves him when he slays Saeros. When he forgets Nellas he has forgotten his soft side and therefore lays... |

If you are of the Umanyar, you are not reincarnated. Once you die you stay permenantly in the Halls of Mandos. I think that's mentioned in Morgoth's Ring. It seems pretty unfair that these Elves are... |

Were the Valar right to summon the Elves to the West?
I do not think they were for various reasons. Firstly, it lead to the Sundering of the Elves. Elves who had together the strong bonds of kith and kin were separated in this life and the next... |
