Look who graced this thread with his presence!

Is this a thread where we fight over guys... like the Men of the Sil thread?

What do you think these Appendix A guys would think of legions of fangirls? Probably form the Last Alliance of Elves and Men to Fight Teenaged Hormones...

OR... maybe say;

"Whew... toppling Sauron's forces has been HARD WORK! I can't wait until I get home to see if there's a legion of fangirls awaiting me on my doorstep!"

my favourite appendical male has to be
the witch King of angmar, or perhaps aragorn

**Nurvingiel** · 12-18-2004, 07:52 PM

Valandil!

You think so eh? ...

So you like fangirls? I don't think there's a lot of Valandil fangirls though... high kings from the appendicies aren't as accessible as Leggsie.

Neither are Silmarillion men... though that didn't stop us...

Speaking of which... I just got a copy of HoME 11 and was looking at the Grey Annals (yet another way to avoid doing work

) and guess what was the first connotation that came to mind at this quote:

"Strong and fair were they yet, for the light of Aman was not yet dimmed in their eyes; swift they were, and deadly in wrath, and long and terrible were their swords."

The bold is all mine... and I think we all know why...

OK - let's get this one going again...

Ladies: two contemporary Kings of the Dunedain... which do you prefer?

Araphor - in Arthedain of the North. He came to the throne at a young age - in 1409, his grandfather (Argeleb I) and father (Arveleg I) having both lost their lives in battle with Angmar. It says of him:

Quote:

Araphor son of Arveleg was not yet full-grown, but he was valiant, and with aid from Cirdan he repelled the enemy from Fornost and the North Downs...

He went on to reign for 180 years (until 1589!), second only to Valandil in the North, and longest of all those who reigned ar Fornost.

Eldacar - in Gondor of the South. He came to the throne in 1432, after the death of his father Valacar. Eldacar's main problem was... he was a 'half-breed' - and his coming to the throne triggered the Kin-strife. From 1437 to 1447, his throne was usurped by his second cousin Castamir - who slew Eldacar's eldest son Ornendil.

But later, Eldacar returned to power and defeated his foes, driving them first to Pelargir and then on to Umbar, slaying Castamir himself. He lived out the rest of his natural life and died in peace in 1490. It says of him:

Quote:

To the lineage of Gondor he added the fearless spirit of the Northmen. He was handsome and valiant, and showed no signs of ageing more swiftly than his father...

So ladies... who will it be? Which one is 'hotter'??

They call Eldacar "handsome" too, so I guess I'd have to put my vote on him.

Anyway, I like the part of his name that says "Elda..."

Val, would you change the title of this to "Men of the Appendices"?

***Valandil*** · 01-17-2005, 04:57 PM

Done.

OK - which King Eldacar do you like better... the King Eldacar of Gondor (son of Valacar), or the King Eldacar of Arnor (son of Valandil)??

***Valandil*** · 01-17-2005, 05:00 PM

How come you ladies are always picking the SOUTHERN guys?

Tolkien only mentions this because it's the EXCEPTION in the south... while it's the RULE in the North!

Think about it:
Would you rather have the exceptionally hansome guy, or the kind of handsome guy that anyone can get? It's called supply and demand.

No matter where they're from, if they are more handsome than the average guy around, then they're more desireable.

btw Lefty, that was good! Or... bad! Or... something!

It could take this thread in an entirely different direction...
