The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Update 3:
7 July 2005

Having spent the last week in the various libraries, gossip taverns and assorted hell-holes of Bangalore I am glad to now return to my hosts' home and spend the remaining few days in India reading and collating all that I have learned.

Fellow Warg lovers, I cannot enthuse to you enough about the shher, unfettered joy which one may derive from spending several hours in a progressively deteriating state of sobriety discussing with a Brahmin (sp?) the great and wonderful creature that is known as the Warg. This man, his name was Rajinpur Khamar, told me of the great Hindu legends concerning Wargs, and how most uneducated Hindus believed them to be the chariot of demons. He, however, was an enlightened individual belonging to the Dhistar caste, who realised Wargs as the wonderous deities they truly are.

Anyway, my quest draws nigh to its conclusion, and so now I must go and sample more fine Indian foods and liquers, for this type of living is simply not possible at home.

I saw we are now sponsoring dancing spawn of ungoliant. Eomer, how did you manage to rent that sig space?

By the way Samwise, Brahman is spelled like so.

SamwiseGamgee · 07-21-2005, 02:38 PM

That is most interesting, regarding both your points, Fingolfin. It is remarkable that I spent a month in India and didn't pick up on that spelling!

So Eomer, pray tell how you managed the feat of sponsoring a downs member- moreso one who has never posted on this illustrious thread?

Orominuialwen · 07-21-2005, 04:18 PM

Actually, I think it can be spelled both ways, so both you and my brother are right, Samwise . Seeing as the i/second a is a schwa, and the word is being used outside of its narive language, both are probably equally acceptable. Now I will let this thread get back to its original puropose of the glorification of wargs and butt out of my little brother's territory.

Hail, and well met, Orominuialwen! Please, make no apologies for posting on this thread. We are always glad to see new...um...faces. And believe me, the only thing I enjoy nearly as much as the glorification of Wargs is defending that fairest of tongues: English!

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-22-2005, 08:53 AM

So good to have you back Samwise! And well met Orominuialwen! Please stick around and muse through the pages of Warg lore we have hither gathered.

About the sponsoring: This dancing spawn of ungoliant, a fair and beloved friend of the Barrowdowns, offered space for rent. And I couldn't very well pass up such a grand opportunity of free publicity now could I? The fee shall be paid out of my own pocket so don't worry your little socks; I won't badger you for donations (although donations are rarely turned down).

Let us spread the word!

Well Eomer, thanks to your renting out of dancing spawn's signature space, I have finally decided to take a look at your Warg thread. I always thought the Wargs were far more graceful then PJ made them appear, but it never occured to me to join your thread. But I must say, very nice. Very nice indeed. I have only read the first page, but I look forward to reading the rest and hearing of all your tales involving Wargs.
