Eomer, I wouldn't call someone who went down fighting with an arrow in his eye, boring. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Huor isn't boring because he sacrificed himself for the future of Middle-earth. He even told Turgon that the latter needed to escape, because the hope of Middle-earth would be born from both of their houses (*coughcoughEarendilcoughcough*). He isn't boring because he knew that Turgon had to live, and that he just might have to die. Unfortunately, to not be boring, you have to either do something suicidal, lead a rebellion, challenge a foe who you don't have a hope of defeating, or sacrifice yourself for others.
