  • Today we are talking about the Ithilien Rangers. These Rangers of Gondor are some of the most lethal soldiers at Gondors disposal. And personally one of my favourite factions. I hope you enjoy learning about the, in todays video!

    Yes we need a video on Faramir. Perhaps even comparing book and movie version, so that folks who've not yet read the books can better understand how great Faramir is in the "true" Tolkien Lore? I mean, he was portrayed well in the movies imo, but the changes are rather significant.
    Also, answering your question: not too long ago I would've chosen the Knights of Dol Amroth. They still fascinate and inspire me, even though they're hardly elaborated on.
    But in the last few years I've rather grown to prefer ranger-style archetypes, they're just so versatile and adaptable, and usually also very lore-wise - apart from limited magic skills, they can do everything (and rather well), except perhaps be a welcome part of society :D

    • @Greye13
      @Greye13 Před 2 lety +4

      Exactly this! I completely agree with all of this, except - I was more for the Dunedain than for the Knights of Dol Amroth, but the Ithilien Rangers are fantastic. The Ranger life has always fascinated me. And yes, we need more on Faramir. He's such an amazing character.

    I currently play LOTRO on Landroval (Alegrius); my character is themed around a ranger/warrior type. He's been a ranger since he gained the trust of Calinglad in Annuminas, where he has the title 'Warden of Annuminas'. Currently, he's a member of the Grey Company as well & I'm in western Rohan... Need to do a few quests before Helms Deep. There's a backstory to this but the goal is to have him become a mix of a Ranger/knight of Gondor. After watching this, I think I'll have him be a part of the White Company once I complete the battle of Minas Tirith.

    How many here are familiar with the band "Summoning", a Tolkien themed metal band? They're not just a novel one-off either but each album is an epic masterpiece. They even have one track that's sung in the black speech.

    Also, yes, we need a video on Faramir. He was one of the greatest of the Men of Gondor, and his character was short-changed in the movies and shown to be weaker & less intelligent than in the books.

    A topic that I had in mind for some time. Do you think there would be a possibility that "Evil men", otherwise those who were corrupted in the past by Morgoth, Sauron etc., could turn to good? Maybe it could do something with the Blue Wizards who ventured east. Would love to see an episode about that, if it is a topic worthy of discussion or hasn't been here of course.

    @WhiteSkyMage Před měsícem

    Ithilien Ranger. If you are a knight, your life expectancy is quite low. You could be SHOT by arrows on the battlefield, ran over, stabbed, or outright smashed to bits by some troll. I.e. A knight in the Middle Earth is a very easy target and although you have a thick armour, eventually something's gonna kill you if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Better stay in the shadows and hunt the enemy through ambush, than be on the battlefield with thousands of people against thousands if enemies. You will likely survive longer AND be more effective against your enemies.
    I'm gonna make a not-so-good analogy - If you have to choose between being a soldier in WW2 vs being a sniper, which would be your choice? If you choose a soldier, you will be sent to run against machine gunners. Your chance of survival is the lowest it can be, just as much as being a knight on a horse riding against a wall of pikes and spears and having arrows rain down on you.

    One is blessed if he has half the qualities that Faramir has. Personally I’m not sure which faction of Gondor I should choose, since they all have their appeal.
