I don't know, those troops marching in at the Black Gate and riding on the Oliphaunts looked fairly brown to me. And HCIsland, you're right - they did a good job of making them look foreign, but not a foreign that anyone could recognize as coming from some specific country.<P>Though actually, to me, the soldiers in TTT (the ones who came over to investigate the noise of Sam sliding down the slope) looked a bit like they were from India. It wasn't the clothing, though, just the eyes and the shape of the face. Also, with the soldiers riding on top of the oliphaunts, it's hard to shake the image of a howdah.<p>[ 6:02 PM December 29, 2003: Message edited by: Kalimac ]
