My race isn’t here. For i am no Ringwraith, but a living man. The Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad Dûr I am, and my name is remembered in no tale, for I, myself, have forgotten it. I hear them whisper in fear that I am a renegade who came for the race of those who are known as the Black Numenoreans. I was enamoured in evil knowledge by the Great One Himself during the years of His domination, and He was worshipped. I knew much of the mind of my Lord and I was very cunning and for that I grew swiftly and ever higher in his favor, I was taught great sorcerery, and I know much of the mind of Sauron the Great.

Dragon duh

I’ve always had fantasies of me being a Dragon. I wouldn’t be evil tho.

Waaaarg!

Lollllll

@Antal Zollner A Variag! What is your name, then?

A river-person like Goldberry 😎

@HiddenVale Yes Variag is what they are called thank you.Well, since they are quite mystical and Tolkein hasn't written much about them or their language, it would be hard to say what my name would be.Although Easterners would give some kind of clue for the language, I cannot answer this question at the moment.

^ I believe that Variags are supposed to be based off of Mongolians, judging by the limited art of them.

@Immediate need Yes, I too am thinking of the Mongol Empire and the Tartars, based on their description and fighting style (as far as we know).Although some of the drawings and paintings reminded me of the fighting styles of the Huns and the pre-Hungarians.It is amazing to think how many cultures and people groups Tolkien had at his disposal to create this world.
