eeemm... Fool-of-a-Took, where did you read that Theoden would want to sell nine black horses to Sauron?

In the LotR stands a rumour that they were paying tribute to Sauron, but in TTT that rumour is utterly destroyed by Theoden, saying that they do not pay anything to him and are not in allegiance, but are as yet not in open war with him. The slaves of the Dark Lord made raides through Rohan, stealing the horses (always the black ones).

So, now you made me curious if you read otherwise in one of the books.

greetings,
lathspell
