The Eagle Factor - THE TOLKIEN FORUM I don't claim to be master of all that's Middle Earth, but these few thing has been bothering me for some time. As a side note, the Eagles being Maiar, the Nasgul and their winged steeds didn't stand a chance in battle with them, nor could Eagles be slained by arrows. Last but not least, the Eagles were Maiar, but it was up to the characters of M-E to deal with the problems of M-E (Olorin and other Istari were only sent as guides), so I don't think the use of Eagle's power was allowed, at least before all other options failed. www.thetolkienforum.com /showthread.php?t=4003   (1885 words)

Eagle (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Eagles fought alongside the army of the Valar, Elves and Edain during the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age. The eagles are said in The Silmarillion to have been "devised" by Manwë Súlimo, leader of the Valar, and were often called Eagles of Manwë. In the Second Age, a pair of Eagles had an eyrie in the King's House in Armenelos the capital of Númenor until the Kings became hostile to the Valar. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Eagles_(Middle-earth)   (544 words)

The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - The Great Eagle Mystery Perhaps the Eagles did not aid the Fellowship in their quest to destroy the ring by simply flying them to Mordor because the plight of the ring was for the free peoples of Middle Earth to accomplish. The Eagles, although mortal, were considered the messengers and servants of Manwe and were allowed to aid the peoples of Middle Earth in times of need, but maybe not with this specific quest....who knows. The Ring 'belonged to Middle Earth' - it was something for the free peoples to deal with on their own. forum.barrowdowns.com /archive/index.php/t-706   (4086 words)

Finduilas's J.R.R. Tolkien Page - Races of Middle-Earth Eagles are often used as the eyes of Manwe as well as warning against something (as in the case of the eagle-shaped clouds over Numenor). Gwaihir was the Lord of the Eagles at the end of the Third Age and at need would bear Gandalf away from somewhere he could not else have escaped, eg. In the First Age, the Eagles made their homes in the mountains surrounding Gondolin, and rescued the body of Glorfindel after the Fall of Gondolin. fin.go.wifl.at.org /tables/html/races.htm   (3664 words)

Lord of the Rings Gwaihir Gwaihir is the Lord of the Eagles, the great birds who were the friends of Elves and Men in Middle-earth. Gwaihir and his eagles saved Bilbo and his friends as they were being attacked by Wargs in The Hobbit. In The Lord of the Rings, Gwaihir and his eagles played an even more important role. www.lordotrings.com /noflash/tour/gwaihir.asp   (239 words)

Rotten Tomatoes Forums If the eagles were so separate from the rest of the creatures of middle earth, why did they bother to help in the end. Even if the Eagles could fly for any length of time in the polluted air (doubtful), they wouldn't have the oxygen they need for evasive maneuvers---and trust me, they would be spotted. There is also this: the only "persons" who could order the Eagles, as Nienna has been hinting, to do anything are Manwe (it was his thought, his singing in the Song of Making that caused them to be) and possibly Gandalf, as a Maia of Manwe's people. www.rottentomatoes.com /vine/archive/index.php/t-268429   (3074 words)

Encyclopedia of Arda: Thorondor The Silmarillion tells us that the race of Eagles were sent by Manwë to watch over the Noldor who had travelled back to Middle-earth. The mightiest Eagle to ever live; lord of the Eagles of the Crissaegrim, and constant ally of Turgon of Gondolin. Perhaps the greatest Eagle of them all simply died of old age, but his mighty body carried a spirit sent by Eru, so perhaps, just possibly, he flew back to his master's halls on Taniquetil and still soars in the airs of the Undying Lands. www.glyphweb.com /arda/t/thorondor.html   (311 words)

Elves of Middle-earth In the middle of the forest on April 6, Thranduil met Celeborn, whose forces from Lothlorien had taken Dol Guldur.

Radagast (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The character Radagast and virtually all references to him (with the exception of the presence of benign Eagles directed by an unseen force) were not used in the film versions of The Lord of the Rings directed by Peter Jackson. Radagast was unwittingly used by Saruman to lure Gandalf to Orthanc, where Gandalf was captured. The Vala Yavanna forced Saruman to accept Radagast as a companion, which may have been one of the reasons Saruman was contemptuous of him. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Radagast_(Middle-earth)   (664 words)

The Grey Havens - Else: What happened to Radagast? For Radagast, the fourth, became enamoured of the many beasts and birds that dwelt in Middle-earth, and forsook Elves and Men, and spent his days among the wild creatures." (Unfinished Tales, p. On the other hand, it has often been suggested (though there is no direct textual evidence of any kind) that the way Eagles kept showing up at opportune times may have been partially his work. Radagast was said to also have failed his mission, but it's tempting to think that his "failure" was not as bad as that of the others. tolkien.cro.net /else/radagast.html   (253 words)

Animals of Middle-earth The Great Eagles flew far and wide and gathered news of the Nine Ringwraiths and the mustering of Orcs and Wargs and the escape of Gollum from Mirkwood.

Tolkien - Wizards & Valar The Valar are the Middle Earth equivalent of angels, and have been the guardians of Middle-Earth since its creation. He was especially friendly with birds, and unwittingly helped Gandalf to escape from Saruman (after likewise unwittingly arranging for his capture) by sending Gwaihir, one of the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains, to Orthanc as a messenger.

Chronology of Middle Earth This time, it was not Gandalf who engineered the escape but the Lord of the Eagles of Middle-earth, Gwaihir.

Middle Earth - Creatures Common all throughout the wild lands of Middle Earth, the wolves of Mirkwood, Mordor, and lands in between were often under the influence of Sauron. Other Creatures Mentioned in Tolkien’s Works: cold drakes (do not breathe fire); giants (one-headed and two-headed); great eagles (and other giant birds of prey); mumakil (oliphaunts); werewolves and vampires (in The Silmarillion); “hill” and “cave” trolls. Any one caught in the blast may choose to "hit the deck" (Gamemaster Guide, page 47) and make an Acrobatics-dodge check to degrade the damage one step, but this costs the character’s next available action. www.geocities.com /scott_metz/alternity/middleearth/creatures.html   (860 words)
