Ghân-buri-Ghân & the Drúedain | Tolkien Explained

[@cormacmacsuibhne2867]

You really ought to do a video on men using magic. The Nazgul are obvious examples but it would be good to talk about ordinary mortals using magic. Dark or otherwise.

[@Enerdhil]

Good topic for a video.😁👍

[@dlxmarks]

I think that would be a rather short video. Beren using (or really being enabled to use) magical disguise, the Mouth of Sauron's purported sorcery, perhaps Aragorn healing with Athelas, and what was covered in this video about the Drúedain. I can't recall anything else. EDIT: Two other specific examples of men using magic: The barrow-blades created by the Dúnedain of Arnor which were enchanted to stay sharp and untarnished for centuries and break the magic protection of the Nazgûl and the Beornings' ability to skin-change into bear form.

[@bitterzombie]

​@@dlxmarksNumenor apparently had magicians & sorcerers, but it is unclear how they operated. Its possible that Manwe or Arda bestowed magical gifts upon the faithful, and as well that Sauron bestowed the "gifts" of Morgoth when he gained influence there.

[@biglawngnome]

Yo I've been thinking the same thing. I've been wondering about that for a long time

[@Enerdhil]

[@Enerdhil]

Yes. All the peoples of the West were unified against a common enemy.

[@southpakrules]

*Helped saving middle earth. Middle earth was saved by the men of the west. Your conclusion is like saying that partisan resistance won the Germans in WWII, which obviously is false. They helped, yes, but they didn't won the war.

[@ohmygordd9426]

**middle earth was saved by the small everyday kindnesses of hobbits like sam.

[@southpakrules]

@@ohmygordd9426 ***Wrong again. If you go this route, middle earth was saved by fate. Frodo and Sam eventually didn't destroy the ring. Frodo succumb to it's power while Sam watched hopelessly.

[@ohmygordd9426]

@@southpakrules how can you fail a mission if their mission was also fated to ‘fail‘? were their failures not also fate, and was it not Frodo‘s earlier kindness to spare Gollum that brought Sauron to his end? Their kindness IS fate and so is their ‘failure‘ at Mt Doom. However, I think what @matky3217 is alluding to, and what I am also trying to grasp at, is a narrative point rather than a metaphysical discussion about what single action caused the triumph of good against evil (I think this is slightly misleading, because every event in the lore is necessary step to the conclusion of LOTR, but this is neither here nor there to what I was trying to say). From a narrative point of view, a story-telling point of view, I believe matky is correct. I think the message of Tolkien is that it is the ordinary, everyday good, exemplified by the hobbits, that is the true victor against evil and not the glorious might of the men of the west with sword and steel (though obviously a necessary part). I don‘t believe either of us are saying that the druedain or hobbits were the political and tactical stroke of genius that brought sauron to his knees.

[@kristenrosales2919]

The Druedain, the unsung heroes of Middle Earth.

[@Gruesome-Twosum]

​@@TonySwindellsmore like aboriginals

[@Xeno426]

I think one of the important aspects of the Druedain in the story is how they reverse the tendency of "good looking = good". Tolkien had a fair hand in using descriptive terms to denote someone shifty or evil; sallow-faced, squint-eyed. And for those who were good, stuff like "fair". But the woses turn that on its head. They are not "pleasant', with their oddly-proportioned limbs and bellies. But they are uncontestably good.

[@marcognudi664]

Had no idea that so much info regarding the Woses existed, thanks Nerd of the Rings for fleshing things out so well as always

[@nathaniellong4281]

It's cool how the Druedain on Numenor could actually see the corruption of the Numenoreans and foresee that bad things were coming, so they got off the island before Eru Illuvatar destroyed it and reshaped the world.

[@Selrahc_69]

I notice that you used an image of the Druedain from Lord of the Rings Online at 5:27. I remember well, playing through that section of the game which I thought was very well done and enjoyable. Who would have ever thought that THIS storyline would be covered in depth in a video game? LOTRO is very special and I always love watching your videos which confirm the deep love and caring that goes into every part of it.

[@tommythetrain1945]

[@erikbender1967]

Did not know that their heritage started in the early history of Middle Earth, much less Numenor. Excellent middle earth history!

[@cormacmacsuibhne2867]

7:43 a beautiful quote which matches well with Tolkien's idea of creation and making things. Also it does sound he's talking about a Voodoo doll

[@nisselarson3227]

When I was a kid and read the (first) Swedish translation I remember thinking Púkel was an older spelling of "Puckel" which means "hump" (as in humpback) in modern Swedish. It could be a coincidence, but one never knows with this guy. :)

[@kalleh6400]

In Finnish translation it is also Pukel but the English version sounds very similar to a Finnish word Puukko which is a traditional finnish knife.

[@gentlebabarian]

Tolkien is inspired by germanic celtic and latin languages. So it can make sense

[@Dr_Cole]

I learned more from this video about anything Tolkinean than I have in a while. Thanks for covering this interesting topic in good detail.

[@Raz.C]

Dude, your reading parts are so good, I often forget that it's just one person doing the reading. It becomes easy to believe that you have a supporting cast to read for each character. I used to read in bed to my girlfriend, sometimes, when there was a book I wanted her to read, but she wasn't too keen on doing it. I know how hard it can be on one's throat to keep doing various voices/ how hard it can be to come up with various voices for characters and to remember the voices of each one. You make it look easy!

[@cormacmacsuibhne2867]

The statues make me think of Easter Island. Or if you prefer, statues from civilisations past like the Celts or Egyptians.

[@Gruesome-Twosum]

It's funny how there were always jokes that there were carved bodies under the heads, but they've been there so long the soil has built up around them, and then it turned out to be true

[@HandriKusnadi]

Must be Celtic, Celtic are Druedain, Anglo Saxon are Rohan, Gondor are Roman Empire, Easterlings and Haradrim probably enemies of Roman Empire like Sasanid Persia.

[@craigstueber8073]

I really liked this video. Just the right length as well. I have always loved the Drúedain. In high school a ran a D100 Table Top RPG for Middle Earth. My Story was based around them. I love world that Tolkien was able to create in his life time. So rich with history and feels so alive.

[@TheTolkienCurmudgeon]

Greetings from the Tolkien Curmudgeon: Good topic, good video. However, in contrast to many of the illustrations seen in the video, Tolkien describes the Drûg people as having only sparse and lank hair on their heads and none on their lower faces, except for a few of the men who had a small tuft on their chin. The description and other information about them is found not only in "Unfinished Tales" but in the essay "Of Dwarves and Men" in "The Peoples of Middle-earth" p. 309-310 (original hardback pagination).

[@igitwams]

Agreed. In the video they're made to look more aboriginal and especially in the video thumbnail. Hilarious.

[@VadulTharys]

If you pay close attention to the descriptions they are basically Neandertals. Helpful, simple lives, focused on living in tune with nature as many scientists at the time believed.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Which does become sadder, since that means they'll become almost extinct come the, hmm, distant future that is the Sixth or Seventh Age.

[@mikeschiesel2852]

Fascinating as always, your gift for story telling is priceless. Thanks for all you do!

[@danielkings224]

Finally!! Been waiting on this for a while

[@jasonsinn9237]

Thank you so much for making this video. I just finished Unfinished Tales and after reading about so many legendary kingdoms and heroes I was totally surprised that there was a chapter dedicated to the humble druedain. They're so fascinating despite how little there is written about them. I appreciate you taking the time to dig up even more lore!

[@michaelmaltzer5426]

Omg… you are the first of your peers i have seen approach them. Thank you!

[@stormstrider1990]

It's been a while since I've read the LOTR books, but I remember finding the "Wild Men" interesting. Beyond that and the Hobbit, I haven't read any other Tolkien books, so thanks for this deep- dive into the Druedain lore.

[@flamencoprof]

When I read LOTR ca. 1964 I was already familiar with my Uncle's Phantom comics (bought weekly rolled up with a rubber band IIRC :-). The Ghân-buri-Ghân character set off memories of a Phantom character "Guran" I knew. Guran appeared in the first Phantom comic in 1936, well before my time! It was just a resonance at the time. I doubt Toliein's lore extended to USA comics! I do think Tolkien's lore intended to include the pre-Celtic Europeans, Ireland's little people, the dark folk, etc. If you look around the world there are still "hill people" driven from recent culture, in such places as Taiwan, Malaysia, South India, Burma, China, probably Brazil, but IDK.

[@christopherwall2121]

I wouldn't rule it out; the Phantom was one of the first international superstars in comic books, and to this day he's a lot more popular in Europe than he is in his native USA. It is possible, however unlikely, that Tolkien might have at least heard of Guran while he was writing _The Lord of the Rings_

[@phillipmckenzie9383]

Nostalgic! I haven't read this in almost two decades. Much obliged

[@chigozieinnocent9106]

I wonder why Ghan buri Ghan was left out of the adaptation of lord of the rings. That's a character I would have loved to see on screen. He seemed noble and kind and I like the sound of his name.

[@johnhammonds5143]

If you put some of your power into something you have made, you must also prepare to take part in its hurts. This is a massive clue into what happened to Sauron when the Ring was destroyed. Sauron put a greater part of himself into the Ring. Not just a little. And he definitely paid a price when it was destroyed.

[@voiceinthenoise3357]

This was truly fascinating. Thank you.

[@stevenboettcher4796]

Thank you for this great video. It is just another example of Tolkien’s incredible world building. If Tolkien lived to 100 he wouldn’t be done with his world.

[@williamking3301]

The Druedain are one of my favorite characters of Men in the Unfinished Tales. Tolkien really fleshed them out as the ancestors of the Woses and Pukel Men of the Third Age. My favorite parts of their description were how they could remain perfectly still and be mistaken for one of their carved statues and when they were angry their eyes would literally turn red, and were merciless in battle. Grerat video, many thanks for making it.

[@madliberal7710]

I am enchanted by all the species of bipeds that Tolkein created in describing many of the beings in the history of Middle Earth.

[@ddavi_dmi]

Thanks again for another amazing video: Ghân-buri-Ghân and the Drúedain! I've been curious about them ever since the one on the travels of Théoden. It would have been great to see them make an appearance, even briefly, in the LOTR: The Return of the King movie 🙌🙏

[@MrMortull]

It's crazy to think that a Druedan knew in the first age, probably from the traditions and folk-wisdom of his people that were already ancient then, what Sauron in all his cunning failed to fully appreciate until the very end of the third. Humility, wisdom and generosity of spirit once again proved to be both root and fruit of goodness even in Tolkien's smallest, least-known stories.

[@nathanphillips2395]

Ghan and the barrow wights should've been in the extended versions. I'd like to see Tom bombadil but tbh most of the things Peter Jackson excluded did make sense for the movies. A non tolkien reader would have soooooo many questions if you just did the lord of the rings. They should've done 4 movies and added more since they would have time to give some silmarilian explanations lol

[@MalzaHaps]

@@nathanphillips2395 yes I feel like Toms conversation with Gandalf before Gandalf leaves middle earth was a missed opportunity but you are right even us Tolkien fans have major questions about old fatherless Bombadil so the movie fans would be really confused. I think Ghan is important because without him Theoden would have never reached the Battle of Pelenor in time and the peace between Ghans kin and Theodens kin was never acknowledged. but I do get that P Jackson only had so much time and could only invest in so much characters

[@MalzaHaps]

[@MercuryKnight5]

For all his overconfidence, book-Sauron is a much better strategist than movie-Sauron. Stationing an army of pikemen behind ditches and stakes right on the road to Rohan, between an 'impassable' forest and an impassable marsh, was a brilliant move.

[@cormacmacsuibhne2867]

9:03 would there still be men who considered themselves Druedain living in Numenor? I thought by that point, all the houses would mixed and there would be hardly any distinction.

[@Enerdhil]

All the Drûedain left Numenor before the island sank. The King's Men and their policies must have made life unbearable for them all to have left.

7:20 is it just me ,or does this remind you of the stone giants in the hobbit? probably unrelated and there is much speculation upon the nature of the giants: were they troll-like humanoids or manifestations of the rocks itself? If we consider the latter, perhaps their magic is druedain magic like this stone totem, only to a much larger and grander scale? perhaps this is what the stones at dunharrow are too? I also can‘t help but also draw comparison to the watchers at minas morgul as well? i doubt they are the doing of the druedain, but perhaps perversions of their art by a watchful malevolence?

[@Fenris77]

(I mean a race of Men. Hobbits, of course, are short and humble, and they're generally less fair in Tolkien's writings than they all seem to be in Peter Jackson's adaptations. It's just that the good Men of the West share too many qualities for my liking).

​@@RazSofer-xh3qs Well, if I understand the history as explained in this video, the Druedain play a pretty noble role by protecting their forests from destruction by the Men of Numenor, whose declining moral compass is countenancing wrongful deforestation to the north. The great thing about the Druedain is that they provide a perfect opportunity for showing that the Men of the West aren't always the righteous heroes they often seem to be. The Druedain arguably come across as morally superior to the Men of Numenor in Tolkien's writing. There's no need for Amazon to "virtue signal" anything to arrive at such a portrayal.

I wish the Legendarium had more unique folk tales and even equivalents to our urban legends akin to the living statue ones shown here. The lore makes us hunger for more! 7:42: Sounds like Sauron passing his self to the One Ring, and also Voldemort with his Horcruxes. 9:01: Wonder if some went West instead, with help from the Eldar? Figured they won't appear in the movies, but I am shocked how they didn't appear in the 1981 radio drama... that adaptation sure nailed lots of things from the book compared to the Peter Jackson films, which made me be surprised and disappointed that the Drúedain got skipped over during the ride of the Rohirrim to Gondor. Anywho, am more likely to admit that these peoples are better off adapted in animation. Live action may feel off for many reasons that may suddenly lead to racism accusations and simple laziness. Now, if only they can have real good voice actors who can nail their intonations and especially their hearty laughs... Addendum: And I really fear for the peoples in the Fourth Age onwards. There shall inevitably be a time where the Rohirrim and/or the Gondorians will forget their morals, fall from grace, become xenophobic, and then oppress and exile the Drúedain possibly to extinction.

As for Sauron exploding, i think that was more for the sake of visual effects

[@Laurelin70]

In the book Sauron didn't "explode". His physical appearance (that we never see in the book, apart from his Eye) is destroyed and we see his spiritual part/shadow towering for a moment over Mordor, before being blown away (by the winds of Manwe into the Void, maybe?).

I really want to know your opinion about Bakshi's Lord of the Rings movie, the original Middle-Earth Role Playing game and what would have happened if Saruman stayed faithful and did not wanted the One Ring for himself (this is something that happens in a crossover/merging of LotR and Star Wars that's on my mind).
