1. being that it is not on some maps, so i take that to be that they kept it a secret, even to map makers, making it a perfect base.

2. they can get to Gondor easily if needed.

3. it would have welcome trade with the villages around the lake, if it was needing resorces. the villagers would also not know where they are taking it.

4.they control weather, so if someone WAS coming, a bunch of mist, or a storm would have a MASIVE impact on whatever invation or whatnot there is on the island.

5. the dark elves would be a great help if a battle ever came.

Also the easterlings would be a bit ragtag, as they are the rebels. i mean, the guards would be about the same, but the citezens would come from all different cultures, as the blue wizards would try to help anyone they can. they would be allies with the dark elves, as they live so near to them. they would probably mainly have men in the cities, but some dwarves. 1. It was most likely a later adition to his writings.

2. It's still a fair distance, it would be no simple task.

3. No, it wouldn't. Would you trade with some foreigner who set up shop in your back garden. They don't even speak the same language, and how can you be sure people live around there?

4. Evidence required. Oh look, there isn't any. That's a lie.

5. And what makes you think the Avari would help? They're isolationists.
