The small People
I believe that all men and women [...] that love and hope and live and die are history.
From Désirée. Read that qoute? Now, Iīve been thinking about this for quite a while. Have you noticed that in Tolkienīs works it alwys seems to be princes and nobility that are the "big point"? Think about it: Luthien was a princess, Legolas a prince, and Bilbo and Frodo are "gentlehobbits", whatever that is. Every time I RPG I wonder why Tolkien never discribed the fate of the common people. We never find out how the people that DIDNīT destroy rings or command armies. What happened to those that were simple farmers, drawn into a war they didnīt understand? Tolien never said anything about them, itīs like he forgot. (Though Iīm sure he didnīt...) Does anyone agree/disagree?
