The Easterlings didn't use elephants. That was the Haradrim who have no ties to the Easterlings. The Haradrim are also known as Southerons.

[@marcbartuschka6372]

This may be a question of definition. In the Second and Third Age they were known as Haradrim, but I doubt the name was ever used in the First Age. In that days when (quite elven-centristic) Beleriand was see as the realm that matters, of course all men east of the Blue Mountains (and even more those beyond the Misty Mountains) were "Easterlings".

In the first age, the easterlings are both the easterlings and haradrim i believe the two factions split during the 2nd age if my memory is correct

[@brandonscott4808]

@calebmarchand2512 There was no split during the 2nd Age. The Haradrim were present from the very get-go as primitive men until they met the Numenoreans who taught them agriculture and craftsmanship. This led to friendly relationships between the two peoples until Numenor became corrupt and hostile towards Harad and other men of Middle Earth.

Man, I really do love your guys' Tolkien videos.. you bring them all to life and in such a concise way, that it makes it a bit easier to follow the enormous amount of characters and locations that Tolkien invented. You're the best at this style of presentation and it works greatly for Tolkien.

*_"An Aliance once existed between Elves and Men. Long ago we fought and died together. We come to honor that allegiance [...] We are proud to fight alongside men once more"_* -Haldir, the Elf, LOTRS movies

[@kermitthethinker1465]

This alliance referenced by Haldir was the Alliance between King Elendil of Arnor and King Gil Galad of Lindon against Sauron in the end of Second Age which ended in the defeat of Sauron,in which major men powers of Arnor and Gondor(governed by Elendil sons Isildur and Anarion)with all Elvish kingdoms(Lindon,Rivendell,Lothlórien and Greenwood/Mirkwood realm)ganged up on Sauron which had done a premature assault on Minas Ithil(Morgul). It had nothing to do with First Age and Haldir didn't fight in Helm Deep in the books,

[@Alejojojo6]

1@@kermitthethinker1465 *I quoted "LOTRS MOVIES", never said Books* . I am verse on the lore, thanks, have read the all books, including Hobbit and Silmarilion. Haldir doesnt exist in the books, first of all. He is not refering to the second age necessarily. Haldir could be referring to the friendship or aliance between the Mithrim and the first Edain, the friendship between the house of Beör and the elves of Finrod. It could be to the alliance between men and elves from the first age that fought against Morgoth rather than anything between the Numenoreans and the elves. I like that quote because its an indirect reference to the firsr age friendship between the Edain and Elves of the First Age.

[@kermitthethinker1465]

@@Alejojojo6 Haldir does exist in the books,he is the one who receives the company of the ring when they arrive in Lothlorien was Haldir and his brothers two brothers(one was called Orophin and I am forgetting the others name).

House of Beör was granted Ladros to live which Finrod originally settled before founding Nargothrond,they didn't settled the whole of Dorthonion which was ruled by Galadriel brothers(Aegnor and Angrod). Also the 1st age Easterlings were not same as second and third age Easterlings.

[@dusanbanovic5085]

Seconded!

[@richardthomas9497]

Considering Dune is hugely defining to the genre of science-fiction, as Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, I'd say a lore series of Dune is overdue. Especially with the recent film adaptions.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Up until I started watching the W&W vids I always took the Middle Earth men for granted and didnt even bother or care for them. Maybe it was because this world already had fantastical elves and dwarves and humans were, well, humans. But deep diving further through these vids its fascinating to learn of the diffrentiations like the houses of the Edain eventually becoming the Numenoreans, the formation of the Easterlings, and the foundation of the Rohirrim.

I’m surprised the Edain managed to cross the length of Middle Earth. The Avari, Silvan, and Nandor elves as well as Dwarves could have mistaken them for new breed of invading orcs and massacred them Tolkien should have also explored more on the elves racism against humans.

Should be noted men of the 1st age were way more powerful and longer live than their descendants in later Ages. Numenorians are the closest thing to the 1st age men in the 2nd age. By the 3rd age, only limited bloodlines still have the might of the 1st age among men.

[@richardthomas9497]

The Men of the First Age lived the same lifespan as ordinary Men. Bëor the Old died at the age 95, which was considered old at the time. It was their descendants, the Númenoreans, that Men lived lifespans at 3 or 4 centuries.

[@RedEyedWolfTV]

When is First Law part 3 coming?

[@WizardsandWarriors]

Not sure

[@Sephiroth144]

I'd be interested to know why/how/the discussions around the Eldar giving up large swaths of their land to these short lived hewmons- like, seriously, they were just cool with it?

[@marcbartuschka6372]

I guess it was mostly because the Eldar simply had no the people to use the land for themself. Their number were limited and I doubt it grew much in that years, so giving away land they only claim but could not really populate was little problem. Like the Gondorians of later ages gave what would become Rohan away (ignoring the people who already lived there).

[@kermitthethinker1465]

It wasn't that big of a area,they gave Ladros,Dorlomin,Lothlann and Brethil,it a very small area.

[@andyoc]

Not sure if Thingol was Noldor? Dont think he ever went west

[@peterrusso9123]

Thingol is a Sindar elf, but he was the only one of them to ever see the light of the two trees, since he was one of the original ambassadors of the elves to the undying lands before the elves migrated

In Middle Earth, humans can stand their own against supernaturally strong dwarfs and agile elves because of plot.

People and cultures *influence* each other. These men have little traditions or knowledge of their own. It's a lot like how the Germanic bands got influenced by Rome for hundreds of years, took up their arms and ways, and fought for them for land and prosperity. It's called 'Noldorization' in a good essay about it. Tolkien knows this and drew this parallel. While nowadays we know the Germans had their own strong culture and traditions, Tolkien was influenced a lot by Roman annals of the migration age, and it shows. As Andreth says to Finrod- “We may be “Children of Eru”, as ye say in your lore; but we are children to you also: to be loved a little maybe, and yet creatures of less worth, upon whom ye may look down from the height of your power and your knowledge, with a smile, or with pity, or with a shaking of heads”

You are mixing Second Age narratives with First Age narratives, and Eriador and further east with Beleriand (e.g. "the Alliance of Dwarves and Men in the North came early in the Second Age", Dwarves and Men). Where are you getting the Easterlings as using Elephants?
