Can't think of a subject...

<img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> Thanks for the hint, It would've taken me forever otherwise - I was trying to think of all the times Bilbo had the need to throw something and forgot about the spiders...so it is: quoits, dart-throwing, shooting at the wand, bowls and ninepins.

Re: Ok

They were associated with Oromë. Therefore they must have been of his people.

Re: Yep

Variags

I guess it would be the Easterlings and the Haradrim...but all three peoples later served in fear under Sauron.

Re: Variags

In UT or the Apendixes, can't remember which, it is said that Khand was stirred by Sauron's ambassadors and allied itself with MORDOR. (I think.)

Re: Variags

I was looking for the Haradrim or the Wainriders(Easterlings). So I guess I will give that to enep. I don't think they actually went to war with Sauron.

More Variags

They did; LotR TT, Battle of the Pellenor:
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> Thre they had been mustered for the sack of the City and the rape of Gondor, waiting on the call of their Captain. He know was destroyed; but Gothmog the lieutenant of Morgul had flung them into the fray; Easterlings with axes, and Variags of Khand, Southrons in Scarlet...<hr></blockquote>
Anyway, onto the next question. <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> Name the mountain range that separated Hithlum from the rest of Beleriand.

Re: More Variags

The Ered Wethrin, or Shadowy Mountains, as I recall.

And I meant that Khand or the wainriders never fought against Sauron, I am guessing you thought I meant along side him.
