Tal-Elmar - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There is already a discussion running featuring talk of The New Shadow, a story from The Peoples of Middle-Earth that Tolkein never finished.

This Thread asks questions about the other unfinished story in TPoME, Tal-Elmar. This is told from the PoV of one of the Wild Men of Middle-Earth and realtes the time that the Numenoreans came to the Western shores in search for 'permanent havens'.

Who were these wild men, where did they come from, and go? the story ends abruptly with the words

"Tal-Elmar offers himself as a hostage"

What happened after that? And was there a tough struggle between Wild Men and men of Westernesse?
