: Another unrelated question. Why didn`t the Lord of the Nazgul : know there were hobbits in Eriador? He had ruled in Angmar long : ago, but hobbits were already in the shire long before he left, : and we know he still remembered Bree, where some of them had : always dwelt; also, some hobbits at least fought against him. : He can`t have been completely oblivious to their existance; he : must have known that they had settled all of southern : Arthedain, and he ought to have thought it worth a try, instead : of spending so many months searching in Wilderland before he : turned west. His last experience with Hobbits in Arnor was the act of overruning and destroying their homeland and the kingdom of which they were a part (unless one assumes he would have noticed any Hobbits marching with Cirdan's army). He knew there had always been Hobbits in the Vales of Anduin. His knowledge of who remained in Eriador would have been less complete. ------------------ Xenite.Org: Science Fiction and Fantasy |
