I doubt Tolkien ever bothered to think about that...but if if this a truly crazy question I'll try to answer.
In note 11 to this chapter, Tolkien remarks: Quote:
Now surely, a drûg could only create a certain number of watch-stones, since he did not have limitless power. Same goes with Sauron. This is why he couldn't create any other Ruling Ring, there was not enough power left all in all. And so I also expect that the strength of a watchstone would depend on how much power wa given to it and just like that that for a larger stone more power was needed, this seems rather normal. However, I have no idea about watch-stones of different sizes having the same strength when given the same power and I do nto wish to speculate on it because I find this is a bit too far off from Tolkien's world.

But I don't think Sauron had the same sort of control over the ring as the Druedain had over their watch-stones, did he?
He never made it get up and kill the fellowship.

What do people think about their contact with the Dwarves and Eldar? Was it equal ended or was it just them giving help to the less advanced Drúedain?
And how about their fighting? What sort of weapons do you think they use? Have they discovered the wonders of martial arts? (they seem to me like the sort of people who would)
