Fine then, this is "ad triarios rediisse."
Evil men Gone- Fellowship pg 265 flght to th eford
"Men once dwelt here.......But they were all destroyed in the wars that brought the north kingdoms to the end." So that shows all evil men were gone. Aragorn says so. Yeah, but that was for that specific area. Sam's question pertained to the area they were in, which was near the Troll-fells. It was hardly encompassing all of Arnor. Aragorn's answer did not encompass all of Arnor, either. My point still stands.
Well, that area was old Rhudaur and all the evil men who took rhudaur during the northern wars will have been in the final battle, and thus annihilated. If none survived to defend the evil mens new land, then all of them must have been destroyed at the battle of fornost. But how do you know all of the evil men were present? There would still have been settlements--young children wouldn't have gone into battle. They would have been raised still as evil men, most likely. So, the civilization as a whole died, but there would still be evilm men with evil intentions who also wandered in the wilderness.I meant that if there were none there.I doubt that there were any of those men, as if there were any, they would have been all non combatents. so if they ( non combatents) disappeared form that rough geographical location as well the men who fought common sense dictates they either left the area or died.Any remnant would have died out soon possibly by more rangers scouting. End of story.

Also rangers officiality-READ MY LAST POST. i ey were unofficial, but COMBAT SPECIALISTS. Therefore, the stewards and soldiers would have trusted their judgement and will have been kept as a border garisson, not only for retaliation. Nowhere in the appendices does it no say that the rangers of thilien were not permannetly stationed there. Thats why they had henneth annun as a hieout and they had many other places where they could take refuge from. If they had been temporary I doubt the stewards woul dhave bothered if the rangers were a temporary force. In my opinion, the term "Rangers" was used for whoever was sent to ambush Sauron's troops in Ithilien at whatever time. It was not for a specific group of men, it was for a changing group.
Well this seems a bit hypocritical. as your next point in my opinion nitpicks at a technical detail so for you to make an opinion rather than use tolkiens description is really rich.Also, to call a gondorian archer whose lived in the city all his life and knows nothing of woodcraft or the woods,whose been seconded for an ambush, to call him a ranger is defeating the point of an honourific title such as ranger. .....I don't understand what you're trying to say here, sorry
To give a special title such as Ranger implies that that person has a skill or suitability in something,Like the Marines or the desert rats.Therefore you give men who are skilled inn woods and guerilla warfare such a title as well as the implication that they range ( hence the name) on the realms borders, as Guardians or sentrys.
Rangers being marked- again, read my last post.urs says that the enemy will attack right? BUt it doesnt say where the order comes from. If sauron respected enemy forces he will have put screening forces in place as an example, pellenor fields to guards aginst flank attacks.If he respected or deemed th erangers a tactical threat he will have detached troops to destroy them. But he knew they were to weak to do damage and a Lion does not bother with a gnat, so sauron did not detach any soldiers form the main host, as that i the thing the rangers wanted.So in your words, your argument is null.Next time, please try to think of the tactical implications before you try to defeat my arguments.Those pursuits were on a squad level, not an army level. Squad level? Are you kidding? Faramir had over 200 men with him after the battle. That's hardly a squad. They destroyed a force of Sauron's soldiers to the last man. A nearly-equal force. That is hardly squad-level warfare. That's a sizeable ambush. And note: in the quote that I mentioned in my last post, it says that The Enemy will pursue them. Now, it is likely that he would just send soldiers, or maybe even that some underling would send the order, but that's not what Tolkien says. What he says is that the Enemy will pursue him. So....if we go in the strictest sense, we do know where the order comes from.
Also, please READ MY POSTS CORRECTLY.I did not mean faramir at all, I meant the foces of mordor. When u have an army of hundreds of thousands, 200 is a rather small, paltry number. That can be interpreted as squad level, as a squad is really a word for describing a number of men , not any fixed number. Also, the enemy is a word for describing also the forces of the enemy, for what else would you call them? It could ceom from an orc commander who is also an enemy so there is a possibilty that it was a "squas "level command. Okay, I did misread that part of the post--I thought you meant that the warfare was on a squad level. As to that, then, I have no answer, but I will point out that when the book says the Enemy, with a capital letter, in ever instance it is referring to Sauron himself, as a single person--not to those under his command.
It was said by Mablung, who would use such a word to describe the forces under sauron as much as Sauron himself. So it could b a device used by tolkien to make the ranger seem more "real" Rangers of north in south- Where did they walk on th eway to morannon? let me think Oh yeah on an enourmous road running through. They hardly wandered around ithilien. the only other places tehy went they followed aragorn who knew the area as thorongil. So aragorn may be th eexception What I was referring to was their capabilities in battle, because the Rangers of Ithilien would be more used to fighting as a small part of the whole, unlike the Dunedain of Arnor, who are used to fighting solo. When I said they did fine, I was meaning that they fought and survived perfectly well.[
