This shall be the thread to take your Tolkien Questions, facts, or general discusion of the man, his works, and the movies spawned from the loins of said books.
I'll start off with a question.
1. I've knowticed alot that in artists drawings of Tolkien's "Numenorians" that they're dressed rather like they are in the first film. Did Tolkien ever write about the common dress of the Numenorians of the second age? More importantly, did the film makers pull the "sea bird winged" helm out of thin air or did tolkien actualy refer to that?
enjoy, and post away....nerd.
