War in Middle-earth - The Wainrider Invasion 

Feel the same way, can't understand why he isn't 10 times bigger!

Easily one of my favourite Tolkien RU-vidrs. Everything is so well researched, and even when Tolkien doesn't give the answers directly, he will make very educated guesses that fit the world Tolkien described. And he seems to have a great personality as well. Always humble, kind and willing to learn.

It is because he himself must spend the time and effort to promote himself and his channel, and he does not, in my opinion. And I feel he does not do this because he does not want to. Becoming big doesn't seem to be a priority to him, which is fine and is his choice. I think he is content to make the few videos he does and has no wish to become entangled in the pressures of obligation and the insistence to produce, which is probably better anyway since it creates vacuous content when that happens.

A video on how Arnor could've survived is coming after the next War in Middle-earth episode. And thanks for the kind words.

I'm aware of their recent problems. I believe that mostly came about due to the fact that they were using a name that is already a Middle-earth book series and that they were selling merchandise using that name. I won't claim to be an expert in copyright or trademark law, but I think should be fine. I'm fairly certain that while the character of "Gandalf" is trademarked, usage of the name isn't due to its appearance in Norse mythology. I could be wrong, and if I do get hit with something, I'll be sure to tag you so you can get me with an "I told you so". It's not a real big deal to me if I have to change my name. It sucked for the HotA guys because they have a website, store, patreon etc...

@@DarthGandalfYT I don't think so. HoME is trademarked by the Tolkien Estate itself, who are - to my knowledge - far less restrictive to their fanbase than Zaentz is (at least I haven't heard about bullying of common fans by the Estate). After all, it is Zaentz that threatened them into changing their names. It was about the use of the term "Middle-Earth", over which they do have a trademark going since they own the rights to LotR and The Hobbit. I think you're in the clear (at least for now) because you're way smaller than HoTA, and if his heirs are even 10% the man Saul Zaentz himself was, it's only about the money.

Each elven child depletes the fëar (soul) of the mother, which limits the number of children possible.

Truly the darkest timeline.

We know little about it except that Earnil won a crushing victory over the Haradrim. Considering he camped away from the Poros and let them cross the river, he likely ambushed them much like Faramir ambushed them in the Two Towers.

Divide and Conquer.

I don't think they would get themselves involved unless the Wainriders attacked them first, which would be unlikely because most Men were afraid of Elves, and Dwarves were often able to stay neutral. From their perspective, it would've just been a war of Men versus Men, no need to get involved.

Unfortunately, no canon numbers. If I had to estimate, I'd say Gondor and the Wainriders would've fielded 30,000+ in each of their three battles. The Wainriders probably weren't powerful enough to defeat Gondor on their own, hence why they enlisted the aid of the Haradrim in the last part of the war. Gondor would've been stretched thin then, and I'd say Earnil's army would've been maybe 20-25,000 at most.

I passed by abt "sand problem"(, summarising both would mean they expressing as "have alot of people and bigger than this country size".

It only appear now would mean: pretending "just an incoming, a new invasion" if spotted by someone. Means they have no informer is best.

By science known as i am the 1st 2 wheel(bicycle) natural rider, means they use magnets, would mean the Wainriders are Bike-users.

"ain society" is spreader of virus aids into food(a spiker), so their reading way can be, example "reading" would become "re ad ing" 3 vocab at one, means w could be "win ain rider" maybe mean fight for ain society the spiker of aids virus(all yellow cars).

Dagorlad could be their callings to me "dragon" then lad is "guy".

They would lose badly. Modern technology and all that.
