A shieldmaiden's purpose is to run around looking really big and scary (and "dealing with" any random Witchkings she happens to stumble across) so she can impress all the poor lost Vikings wandering around Middle Earth and maybe find herself a husband. They like their women tough, right?
-----------------------------
Speaking of which, what was that Witchking doing wandering in the vicinity of one too many shieldmaidens? By which I mean, who was he, what was he doing at Minas Tirith,and what did he do when he met Eowyn?
Oh, and regarding question 2: I assume they do that to pad the post count. Annoying, yes, and not entirely "honest", if you know what I mean, but there's not much we can do about it, unfortunately.
Ah, thanks, KC. That was a really nice thing to say. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
