The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread

[Sleepy Ranger]

"A hot day, we have wandered far unto the deepest and darkest depths of these jungles and yet not sighted what we came in search of. We lost our path on the 17th day and have been wandering aimlessly in the jungles. Our supplies were running low and it seemed we would reach our end soon. But as we struck camp for the evening, the most unexpected thing happened, a miracle. We saw figures in the trees, very much like the Great Warg of the Sea, but these shone so radiant that it can not be set on paper. A joyus flame burning in their eyes. They approached us at a steady pace and led us back to their home, where they...."

This is a diary entry of one of my ancestors. Alas, most of it did not survive the trials of time, this little bit that was still readable I have passed on to you. I am yet trying to decipher the rest of the paper and when I get a breakthrough (With any hopes soon) I shall inform you of what happened later on. A rough image I get from the words that our yet understandable say something about, beauty, spleandour and magnificence and then most of it can not be understood. I am trying my best and soon hope to decipher the rest of these diary entries.

My goodness Sleepy Ranger please do your utmost to get more of this tale. It sounds like a fantastical adventure full of wonderment. Any idea where it took place?

Samwise, I only meant that P. Jackson considered Legolas to be a poster-boy. Now that I consider it, he made Gothmog into an Orc, he may as well have made him a Warg.

Now that I consider this further, perhaps Gothmog was a Warg! Any thoughts?

As far as I can see it happened in Africa because from what I can tell of previous entries is that their party had docked at Cape Horn. And I am glad to say that we are making progress in revealing the conetnts of the letter and it seems that we may be on our way to some ground breaking discovery.

Yes, It may be so. The topic would be very open to debate. But I suspect it not. Because if Gothmog was a warg I supposed Minas Tirith would have fallen, after all who can defeeat a warg in its full glory in battle?

[SamwiseGamgee]

Is there a possibility that Gothmog was in fact the warg which that pink pig-orc was riding on? I think there's no other explanation. After all, which serious Tolkien fan could possibly be asked to believe that the pig-orc was Gothmog?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Hmmm, that would have to be explained by extremely poor directing and I will not say that of Peter Jackson, no way, despite my criticisms of the film.

Saucepan Man is, of course, famously opposed to the film representation of Wargs. They are his least enjoyed part of the films I believe. I can certainly appreciate those thoughts. The Wargs in the movie were utterly bereft of the magnificent characteristics which add up to make Wargs the single most glorious species in the history of any world.

A bold statement, but I stand by it.

[SamwiseGamgee]

Wargs [are] the single most glorious species in the history of any world.

May I say I rally round your flag of warg worship, Eomer. For too long I feel that we have perhaps been happy to sit in our own ways, just sharing warg stories but not educating the masses as to how great and wonderful wargs are.
Perhaps now is the time for change. Perhaps now we need to go out and not give people the option- we must force the glory of the warg upon them!
Never before in the field of human existence has so much been owed by man to the warg!

Does this involve tearing dissenters to bloody shreds? Hmmm.... The Doom laid upon Wargs by Eru has apparently spread to Warg Enthusiasts.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

We're in too deep now Diamond. As Samwise has shown, our souls are now intrinsically linked with The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread.

But how will the masses possibly understand the truth. Perhaps we need to undertake a project of subtle mind control. Better read up on the Saruman chapters, and learn from his mistakes.
