You know whose story I really want to know? Like…I’d like to read a whole book about?
Bór & his sons. The Easterlings who allied with Morgoth & entered the service of Maedhros & Maglor but changed alliance & stayed faithful & died fighting in the Nirnaeth after they killed the traitors of the house of Ulfang & posthumously gained the title ‘the faithful’.
What legends.
They must have known what consequences awaited them if they betrayed Melkor. What bravery.
Why is there no content about them in the fandom? Why are they so underrated?
They’re so interesting.
I need to know their full story.
Perhaps their descendants were among those Easterlings and Haradrim that were turned against Sauron by the Blue Wizards?
