I don't think that Tharbad was populated by Numenoreans anymore by the time of Fell Winter. They probably all died centuries ago, and were replaced by Dunlendings. How did that happen? Their... |

Well are there supposed to be some special virtues? Maybe they were merely an example of fine craftsmanship (ok, crafts-elf-ship :D ) of Lorien. What seems more interesting to me is why didn't... |
