ROHAN vs. GONDOR

so who would u fight for if mordor was out of the picture? I would fight for Rohan... yes Gondor has more armor and barricades etc... but i think Rohan has more skilled soldiers with weapons and know the land alittle better...+ knowledge of horses... what do you all think.... would u be in service to Aragorn king? or Eomer king?

To quote Aragorn in the animated version:

"The Riders of Rohan are the finest warriors I ever saw... but they were never many."

They are my favourite Tolkien people but you have to have a sense of proportion with them!

But remember- throughout the whole of Middle-Earth history, no Empire of ANY size EVER enslaved the Horse Lords, from the Eothraic tribes to the Eotheod to the Rohirrim, without SERIOUSLY regretting it later on!

That is a very hard decision because Aragorn is probably the wisest ruler Gondor has had in ages. But I am a HUGE fan of the Rohirrim and there horses. I dont think Eomer is as good of a ruler as Aragorn but in battle a horse is a good thing to have you get twice the power, twice the speed , and twice the brains. I'd go with the Rohirrim ✅

Legolas would win!~

*cough* legolas looks like a donkey raping hairband reject *endcough*

Ahem. I would want to ride with Rohan. Just cuz they look cooler than the Dunadain, or the Gondorian soldiers. However I would hate to be on the wrong side of a fight with Aragorn.

I agree with Gabriel - on the 2nd part.
Yes, Rohan is great with all the horse-power but what if Gondor manages to get it's hands on some of them? You never know what ways Aragorn would try..
Lol, I imagine them riding Orcs and Uruk-hais! 😄
Err... when did Legolas come in the picture..?

Though why do you tbhink the Rohirrim know the land better? They have only been there five centuries; Gondor has been there since the start of the Third Age.

No, the Dunadain would win, coz they rule!!!!

well i really like the horse lords and all but gondor soldiers are the decendents of numenor. though their blood is thined and mingled it is still in their veins and i think that would give them the win.

Rohan, definately. They're my favorite people of middle earth and seem like such great warriors...

Can't wait to see more on Rohan during the TTT EE...

lol did u see in the ttt spoof in mad magazine, aragorn is talkin to legolas in the middle of the battle with the uruk hai, and he sez: "There are 10000! How will we defeat them?" (or somthin like that), and then legolas says :"You are right. You take the one on the right thats limping and looks sick, and ill take the 9999 on the left!"

i think that joke should be the other way around. i think anyone with a bow is a wuss. i mean yeah you sit back and just fire. look at aragorn hes in the heat of battle right on the front lines. while legolas uses his bow and might have to use his daggers evrey now and then

I think bowmen are as usefull as swordsmen! Just imagine a battle without bowmen...

Imagine a battle without swordsmen

i go with Rohan. i like them better.

ROHAN

I don't know who I would side with...see Gondor hasnt been under the rule of a good fighter...Denethor has been making all men even greedier and fouler than they already were...but I think when Aragorn becomes king they all kinda form up and decide we want to win this war...this fight has to end for all creatures of middle earth...not just us...so their heart is more into it...plus ARAGORN hello...lol...but then the Rohan have the horse skill...they are afterall the home of the Horselords...lol...so their abilities on a horse may be greater....so as i said...i dont no...but id prolly wanna stay on the same side as Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli 😉

it depends...if rohan goes into battle without a number of archers the Gondorian archers will have a field day shootin dem down while dey charge at dem. but in wide open battle...rohan would slaughter gondor.

GASP!!! how can u say that!?!?! okokOK fine i wont turn this into an orli thread but NEWAYS...i think gondor would win..they have both faramir, aragorn PLUS all his buddies from the north and his elves if he needs reinforcements!!! ✅

rohan is way more skilled plus they are better armed. Gondor men just have like a pike and a sword but the riders of rohan have like 3 spears a sword a shield a horse a shortbow and a hatchet axe thingy. Plus gondor has worse leadership, the only good leader they have left after boromir dies is Faramir! Plus you cant count aragorn as a gondorian beacause he is leader of the north when he claim s the throne he not claiming the throne of gondor he claiming the throne of the entire two kingdoms untied!
