This is from a Tolkien letter and since it mentions Gil-gilad, their increase in stature was to resemble the Noldor. So, size wise, their probably wasn't any difference at the height of Numenor. ... |

Tuor or Turin? If Turin, I think at that point in the book he is only 17 and not yet in the fullness of his manhood. I wonder if Hurin had not convinces Turgon to withdraw during Nírnaeth... |

I agree and I understand Tolkien's use of strength in a spiritual or meta-physical way. I brought this up in the novice section because it sounds like a vs. thread but I really am interested in... |

I see what you are saying. Hurin could be one the characters where you definitely see the intertwining of strength of arm and will. The same could be said of others. I do think physical strength... |

I don't know. Assuming that Gil-Gilad possessed such fire which made him formidable, I am assuming that since Elendil possessed it not, he was also able to melee Sauron though brute physical force. ... |

I guess, just picking the largest of each as a start. On the Elf side we know Thingol, Turgon, Argon, Maedhros, Penlodh were all giant in stature and I guess for men it would be the likes of Turin,... |

Who makes Mieville the end all and be all of what values were conveyed in Tolkien's literature or whether they worthy of praise or criticism? Your opinion, my opinion, or little orphan Annie's... |

I agree but the Witch King faced other great Gondorian leaders and warriors but Tolkien clearly inferred something great in Boromir and it seems that if it was simply as a tactician, Tolkien who was... |

Since the Witch King is a creature that time had different meaning for, I would think that a fear of someone is in the person and confrontation. An immortal being could just build his forces and... |

Boromir I
Is Boromir I(11th Steward of Gondor), one of the greatest, if not the greatest warriors Elf or Human? I have found several citations on the net, supposedly from the Appendices of LoTR and they seem... |

Umbar
What % of the populace are of Numenorean descent? Are they all Black Numenorean or would they be some that were as pure ancestry as those of Dol Amroth but simply had no allegiances? |

I think that its impressive that in years of using it, his mind was to strong to be corrupted while Sauraman's was. Other than prematurely aging him, it seems the best Sauron could muster was give... |

Denethor warrior?
How powerful a warrior was Denethor? He is described as being very tall and powerful, much like the Kings of Numenor. I draw a visual contrast to someone like Elendil, when he is said to much... |

Beorn
Is Beorn meant to be somewhat of an enigma like Tom Bombadil? I know Tolkien commented in a letter that he was a man but clearly he was no ordinary man. Even with Tolkien's descriptions of might... |
