:::There has been a lot of chat lately about Arnor and the Dunedain of the North, and I would like to stimulate another discussion while it is still on everyone's minds: what about Tharbad????
Tharbad on the maps is about the southernmost part of Arnor and Cardolan. Which side of the river was it on? Did it fall under the jurisdiction of Cardolan? Was it settled by men from Enedwaith and Dunland after the destruction of Arnor? Was it originally settled by Dunedain, or the men from Enedwaith and Dunland? There is much mentioned of Tharbad, and it seems to me that it could have been a major city of Cardolan, and many of the Dunedain could have retreated to it, but nothing is mentioned of Tharbad's importance to Cardolan, and if there has, I would like to here about it. Any ideas?
