Thank you for your kind words, Eomer. The story, of course, isn't mine, though. I have merely shared history with you and so no glory can be mine.
I think you are probably right as regards your supposition on others taking the name of the Warg Rider. After all, that was a title given to him much as Cam Beleg or Black Scourge, so it is possible that others were given that title.
However, none would be quite as great as the 'original and best'.
Eomer, as far as a warg protection society goes- it may not be possible to protect the warg- for he needs it not- but we could always line our own pockets with the donations. What think thee? Choose swiftly!

It would be most dishonest to steal from other Warg enthusiasts (regardless of how much leffe we could buy with the earnings!).

The name Cam Beleg, Samwise, I have heard it before. Wither have we seen it in modern times? Do you know?

Cam Beleg, literally translated, means Mighty Hand or Fist.
In recent times there has appeared a superstar in the crazy business of sports entertainment who goes by this name. He is showcased on WWE SmackDown! and is a fearsome creature, though not the scelerious wretch that the original was!
I hope that answers your query, Eomer. And by the way- surely a lifetime of warg burgers and Leffe could justify anything?

I am sorry to disagree with you Samwise but there are certain things I would NOT do for any amount of leffe. You can probably guess a couple, no need to list them!

Imagine my delight when I found out today that in 3rd year philosophy at my university I get to study the little known branch of Warg philosophy. I cannot wait!

What a fine institute that must be! Not one of these 'new' universities. To be teaching warg philosophy takes an ancient and established university. I know of only four in the world which teach it. You should feel honoured!
Eomer, I am surprised at you: surely the end justifies the means? Perhaps I have rather too much Boris in me!

Oh Boris! Is that the darkest tale of Wargs yet listed on this thread?

As for the University, it is in fact a very old place. The University of Aberdeen was founded in 1495 and it has been teaching Warg philosophy since the very start. It is a little known fact that both David Hume and Benedictus Spinoza studied there and the ancient legacy of Wargs greatly shaped their work, which is, of course, still fascinating today.

I know of this David Hume, but of your Benedictus Spinoza I have no knowlege. Who is this chap and what are his links with wargs?
