Maybe the Variags were in the movies after all? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Welcome to the Barrow-Downs.

Variags were from Khand, southeast of Mordor. They were probably not mentioned by name in the Movies. In fact, relatively few men were portrayed as part of Sauron's armies, other than those entering Mordor or ambushed by Faramir in Ithilien, and the Mumak riders on the Pelennor. The latter two were clearly Southrons, but the Men that Frodo and Sam hid from near the Morannon conceivably might have been Variags.
