Tar Elenion:
Quote:
|
Greatest traveller, not tracker
|
But the quote then goes on to say: 'and huntsman' A huntsman has to track in order to hunt, and Aragorn was, as Gandalf states, one of the 'greatest'.
Something else you said Tar:
Quote:
|
I would put forward Beleg as superior to Aragorn in such skills
|
Do you therefore infer that Menfolk/Rangers could never be as skilled as Beleg because he was an Elf?
In the
Narn Beleg taught Turin woodcraft, tracking and evasion, and due to both Belegs skill as teacher and Turins as a pupil I feel he was on a par with the Strongbow, if not actually able to surpass him in certain areas of outdoor survival. Isn't this kindof reflected by the fact that it took Beleg so very long to hunt Turin down, despite the fact that Turin was moving at pace with a large band of manfolk outlaws through woodland and other tracker friendly environments?
