[Lathriel]

This is just as simple as looking on the map of Middle-Earth!!!!!!!!!!<BR>The southrons and easterlings come from the far south, so of course they are dark, they are exposed to the harsh southern sun.<BR>Now look at the Shire, Rohan, and Gondor. These countries are all in the north so of course our main heros are going to be white because they come from the north! I mean they would have to go to a suntanning saloon if they wanted to have a dark skin colour. Besides Tolkien wrote LOTR to kinda replace Britain's lost Myths and legends.
