I'm not talking about the fellowship or individual people LOL...I'm talking about all the cities with tons of people. Like if you look at Europe ALL big cities are close to water. Mnas Tirith and Rohan are in the middle of nowhere. Lothlorien is in the middle of a forest. I don't think this is much more mundane than talking about art in middle earth or catapults or whatever. Fact is that if people in middle earth had and used their butts. The living conditions in the forests and in places like Minas Tirith must have been horrible. Yet in the movies it all looks so clean...did you know that perfume was used mainly by women during the 18th century to hide their atrocious stench. People today take for granted showers and toilets, but 500 years ago almost nobody had a toilet. If Tolkien never thought of this it's a big flaw in his fictional world. The reason the dark ages were so dark was because of the lack of ways to get rid of waste. The cities smelt of ****...I guess most elven, men and dwarf cities did too
