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

SamwiseGamgee · 12-17-2005, 08:47 AM

Evening all. How are we at this most honoured hall of Warg appreciation? Well, I trust.

Anyway, onwards I must tread towards my point: I recently saw Ye Olde Chronicles of Narnia and was, I must say, somewhat unsuprised to find that the wolves were evil. Cruel killers, aye. So here's my question: why? What happened, I wonder, to putWargs so out of favour with men in this world of ours'? If anyone knows, pray enlighten me. Let us spark up the Appreciation Thread so it may roar as the mighty fire it truly is!

P.S.- Look out for my next post: Warg Carols

How, some wonder, does Santa deliver all those gifts in one night?

Why, he uses Wargs, of course.

Santa, in fact, is a Warg Rider.

Of course!

It's almost time for the second birthday celebrations here at this most prestigious thread. Apparently we missed the first birthday.

Yes, I'm skipping over the bringing in of the New Year because I don't believe that Wargs celebrate it. They tend to celebrate important things rather than the mechanical passing of time.

Well, they probably wouldn't celebrate our New Year as what significance would it hold for them, but what's to say they don't celebrate it at a time relevant to their history?

Obviously their celebration wouldn't be getting drunk, as what Warg would lower themselves to that, but maybe a gathering and rememberance.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 01-01-2006, 03:11 PM

Wargs are such high beings, though, that they live in a state of perpetual reflection on the joys and the sorrows of life. At least that's how I see it.

Men can barely rise above the trials and tribulations of the everyday, and that's why they need a 'New Year' celebration. The Elves went in for all of that too.

SamwiseGamgee · 01-01-2006, 05:02 PM

It's true, Eomer. Wargs are so great that they transcend everything. Time, reality and space are all but nothing to a Warg. How great it must be to have abandoned boundaries like that.

Kath · 01-01-2006, 05:09 PM

Then perhaps any celebration of a new year might be a time of rest from such pursuits. A time just to celebrate and marvel at life rather than attempting to understand the origins or the reasons for it.

Forgive me I am not arguing with you Eomer, a distinguished Warg scholar indeed, I just wonder whether perhaps such a tradition might have started with these creatures, rather than passed them by.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 01-02-2006, 09:22 AM

Ask not for forgiveness, dearest Kath! Questioning everything is one of the things that separates the Wargs from the others.

I was just thinking: did the Elves celebrate the New Year? Because, living for so long, it would be almost like Men celebrating every new Hour or whatever. Fair enough, annual celebrations can be special to Men because we might get only 60 of them, or thereabouts. But Elves would be doing it millions of times. It is possibly different for Wargs if they are not bound within time.
