Findegil is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
I seems we are all in on line of sought: Bëor had knowledge about the Folk of Marach and the Folk of Haleth.

And for the Folk of Haleth waiting for tiddings from Bëor's folk, I would agree to Evellon's suggestion:
Quote:
§10 But Felagund learned from Bëor that there were many other Men of like mind who were also journeying westward. 'Others of my own kin have crossed the Mountains,' he said, 'and they are wandering not far away; and the Haladin, a people NE-CM-01{that speak the same tongue as we}[of a different speech], are still in the valleys on the eastern slopes NE-CM-01.02{, awaiting tidings before they venture further}. There are also Men {of a different speech,} with whom we have had dealings at times. They were before us in the westward march, but we passed them; NE-CM-01.5{for }they are a numerous people, and yet keep together{ and move slowly}, being all ruled by one chieftain whom they call Marach.'
Arvegil145, you shouldn't have left for that reason. I also think that the timeline is much more credible with a Round Earth Version. And others have made simillar comments. Consens was that our finished Flat Earth Version could be a good starting point for the poeple that would be interrested to create a Round Earth Version.

Oh, it wasn't the only reason - the other reason was that I was beginning to get uncomfortable with the whole idea of fusing together texts from the 1910s and the 1970s (for example); since then however, I've grown completely zen to all things Tolkien (even dumb stuff like RoP).

But the real reason was that 2015 was a terrible year for me (or rather its end). I'd just leave it at that.
