Eagles: Heroes without Depth

[Eru]

But, I always wondered why the Eagles didn't play a greater role in the struggle against Sauron. After all, didn't they have as much to lose as humans from Sauron's dominion over ME? Or, like the Elves, did they have somewhere else they could go?

maybe the fact that they housed in unaccesible peaks had something to do with it. and other eagles had helped before. in the past. Throndor, King of the Eagles. always poping up in the sil when needed.

i believe it was Manwe who sent the eagles to help ALMOST every time.
