Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lome) 12:02, October 13, 2016 (UTC) Well, that's what thee mod has. I suppose there is much room for custom lore, considering we know almost nothing about Dorwinion except that it exists, but I just don't want him going around telling people that Dorwinion was filled with Northmen, because in actual lore terms, it probably wasn't. Dale didn't stretch that far originally, and once it did, the Dalishmen didn't have any reason to go to Dorwinion. As far as Silvan elves go, those were Wood-elves, both in the mod, and in lore. They would not have gone to Dorwinion. Penni Avari seems the most likely candidate, as they moved west of that place where the elves awoke (I forgot the name), but not into the Anduin Valley or anything. May I remind you at Dorwinion, a land in Rhovanion, bordered by Northmen, which has blond warriors and since Rhovanion was destroyed, and it's people fled (Dorwinion probs) Northmen inhabit it. I severely doubt a lack of Northmen. Anyway, I am the guy who focuses on Northmen lore If its in Rhovanion, they are not Easterlings, countering your first point that got us into this stupid debate.

You dont know jack about "Rhovanion lore". Dale was too far away from Dorwinion. They would have only needed to go a few leagues south or east, and they'd be safe. Dale did not go that far until after Smaug destroyed Dale.

Its the mod's depiction, don't act like its 100% lore. Yes, there are blonde warriors in the mod, but that doesn't mean there actually were blonde men there. You need to do your research, mate. I am afraid I should be the guy who focuses on "Rhovanion lore" ;) The Kingdom of Rhovanion was not Dale, I am really getting mad, so I will let you go to Ithilion to be enlightened(:P) because he knows way more than me and because my ROTK book is not with me right now. Listen, there was no "Kingdom of Rhovanion", ever. That was never a thing. What are you even talking about, are you crazy or something? Are you reffering to the completely non-canonical Kingdom of Rhovanion on the Official Server? Yes, there may have been men in Rhovanion, but by the late third age, they were all under Sauron's domion. Sauron controlled almost all the realms of men east of Mirkwood by the time of Bilbo's quest.

And to Legoarmy, what are you talking about?! You are such an idiot! They went to Esgaroth! Do you know anything about Dale's history? Like what the heck?
