	drúedain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		No Drûg made it to Númenor, as they were probably wiped out along with the Haladin, but the Woses of Ghan-buri-Ghan were related to the Drûg, as were the extinct Púkel-men of Dunharrow.
		At the end of the Third Age the Drûg still lived in the Drúadan Forest of the White Mountains, and at the long cape of Andras west of Gondor.
		The Woses of Ghan-buri-Ghan held off Orcs with poisoned arrows and were vital in securing the aid of the Rohirrim in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

		During the War of the Ring, a company of Orcs was waiting at Drúadan Forest to ambush the Host of Rohan and delay them from reaching Minas Tirith.
		A leader of the Woses, Ghan-Buri-Ghan came forward and offered to lead the Rohirrim by secret paths through the forest so they could avoid the Orcs.
		In exchange for this help the forest was later given to the Drúedain as a protected enclave inside the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor by King Elessar.

		In the Second Age we still see that the natives of the Enedweith would not cross the Isen because of the Pukel-men, but in the Third, the woses themselves were slowly receeding to the wood that is now known as the Druadan Forest due to coming of the Edain to the land.
		We also know that the Woses knew the wood as no-one else did, and were very sensitive to the changes the wind brought.
		The Woses gained what they were working for - the darkness passed, the Evil was defeated and the orcs diminished, and lastly, they were free in the Druadan Forest.

	SparkNotes: The Return of the King: Book V, Chapter 5
		As with the Ents, the Woses are unable to remain neutral in the war—a measure of the all-encompassing gravity of the conflict.
		The Woses make no gracious offer to aid the Fellowship further when their job is done; they vanish after the group has found its way.
		However, the commonness of the Woses enhances the value of the aid they provide: they are not typical heroes in the knightly style, but ordinary folk whose participation shows how large the scope of the War of the Ring has become.

		This being, although the Woses did not care to participate in others affairs, there chieftain Ghân-buri-Ghân made an agreement with the Rohirrim.
		As a bow is not useful at long range in the forest, the Woses people have adapted there bows to the forest.
		This represents the leaders of the Woses leaders who are not mentioned in Tolkiens’ pieces.

	Weblog Entry - 2001 Jun 05: "The Return of the King: BOOK V - Chapter 5"
		Again, in a later draft of the Ride of Rohirrim, the Woses appear as "the dark men of Eilenach (which later became Druadan Forest)" In that version, it is a force of Woses and Treebeard, with the Ents!, that attack the Orcs guarding the roads north of Minas Tirth while the Riders race on.
		I have read LOTR countless times, and have never felt the Woses to be an extraneous element, or been bothered by a lack of proper "set-up." I would think their appearance would have far less impact if it were preceded by some corny "there's something in the woods" statement.
		I react to the Woses as "hey, where did those guys come from?" The Pukelmen are there beforehand, yes, and Merry gets an explanation, but I always felt they were a bit out of place in the story, and their short appearance not really up to Tolkiens storytelling standards.

		Take the Druedain, the Woses as they are called in The Lord of the Rings.
		And there is virtually no mention of them in The Silmarillion, because it was only in the late 1960s that Tolkien decided upon the origins and fate of the Druedain, long after most of The Silmarillion material had been brought up to the point where Christopher found it upon his father's death.
		The Rohirrim were ignorant (as was Tolkien, when he wrote Lord of the Rings) of the Woses' ancient history.

		Though never populous, the end of the Third Age saw these people reduced to a few populations in the southern parts of Middle-earth, especially in the Drúwaith Iaur and Drúadan Forest of Rohan, where the Rohirrim came into contact with them.
		In fact, the word 'wose' is a name from British folklore, referring to a hairy, troll-like being supposed to inhabit woods and forests.
		It represents Tolkien's translation of an actual word of the Rohirrim into ancient English; the Rohirrim themselves would not have called such a creature a 'wose', but a róg.

		Woses were primitive Men living in Druadan Forest at the time of the War of the Ring.
		During the War of the Ring, the Woses, under their chieftan, Ghân-buri-Ghân, led the Rohirrim through Druadan Forest so that they could avoid the Orc-army on the West Road.
		The Woses were culturally primitive, but were very wood-crafty; they used poison arrows.

		He used it as one of Turin's nicknames (Saeros called him a woodwose in "Narn i Chin Hurin") and "woodwose" is the modern form of the Anglo-Saxon "wudu-wasa", "wild man of the woods" (another of Turin's nicknames).

	The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - Woses
		In the early Second Age, the woses move east into the vales of the White Mountains, perhaps driven by fear of the mariners from Numenor.
		Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and of Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days.
		The Druedain were ancestors of the Woses, of LoTR.

		Based on the ICE supplements, the Woses were a race of men as old or older than the Dunedain.
		As he also shows in the books, Aragorn and folk also make sure to do right by the Woses when they aid them (assuring the safety of their forests and borders), a far more noble and proper response than have been made in the real world.
		I suspect that the Woses are analogous to the Picts.

		The SAF Tour Award is given to deserving WOSEs and DXO's with job grade of DX7 and below with good work performance and conduct who have served at least 25 years of continuous service to the SAF / MINDEF.
		It is certainly not meant as a full reward for service personnel’s many years of service in the SAF but a token sum to help defray service personnel and his/ her family tour expenses.
		It is extended only to eligible WOSEs and DXO's with job grade of DX7 and below because of their relatively lower income and lesser opportunities to travel overseas vis-à-vis the officers.

	Council of Elrond :: LotR News and Information
		They delighted in carving figures of men and beasts to which the most skilled could give vivid semblance of life.
		In the Second Age they were granted land in Númenor, but by the time of the War of the Ring their numbers had diminished such that all that remained of them were the carved stones known as the Pukel-men of Dunharrow, and the Wildmen of the Drúadan Forest, also known as the woses.
		Their chief at the time of the War of the Ring was Ghan-buri-ghan.

	Battle for Wesnoth :: View topic - How to beat undead when they only use bats and ghouls?
		One of the possibilities that appear was to give undead ghouls to limit woses' regeneration, and looks like it was the one selected.
		However, the point of that post was to show that giving a regeneration-able, impact tank unit to a faction and then fighting another faction in which all units have a major weakness against impact is odd, IMHO.
		As things are with woses defense and resistances to blade (skeleton) attack it will cost a few skeletons but not an irrational amount in night (2 skeletons with 2 out of 3 hits -average with woses defense- will do 60 hp...enough to kill the wose and they may not die if woses misses any attack).

		Chief of the Drughu, this Wose Shaman joined forces and skills to help in the great contest with Sauron at the end of the third age.
		Ghan-buri-Ghan is an under-appreciated character in hero companies, particularly in light of the addition of a third wose faction via ME: Against the Shadow.
		His high body makes him as tough as a hobbit, but with one more point of prowess; suitable for a variety of deck strategies, whether it is playing resources like Thorough Search, serving as one of the two key skills necessary to untap The Worthy Hills, or as a foil for hazards like River.

	THE TOLKIEN FORUM - Should Elessar have ceded the Druwaith Iaur to the Druedain? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		According to a footnote to "The Druedain" in Unfinished Tales, the Druedain (kin of the Woses) of Druwaith Iaur "came forth from the caves where they dwelt to attack remnants of Saruman's forces [from the Battles of the Fords of Isen] that had been driven away southwards."
		Given that Elessar ceded the Druadan Forest to the Woses as a reward for their services to Theoden in the War of the Ring, should similar recognition have been granted to their kin in the West?
		We only get a detailed account of Aragorn's deeds in the early days of his reign-and he had a lot do do and so he cannot be blamed if he missed out on a few things-the Woses were hardly gregarious and she he may not have known about their help-Druwiath Iaur was practically abandoned anyway.

		After the War of the Ring, the Woses were rewarded for their help and they received the Druadan Forest as their country.

		The Woses were a people living in the White Mountains.
		The name Drûgs was used in Brethil in the First Age, where a uniquely close relationship developed between these people and the Folk of Haleth, the Edain that inhabited that forest region.

		I believe that the woses will be in the theatrical version.
		The woses are the people from some forest who help the Rohirrim sneak past Sauron's defences (that were set up around Gondor) and showed them a way into Gondor.
		Well even though it will probably be a minor role in the film, I was sorta thinking the whole Ghan-buri-Ghan section might have been cut out of the adaption.

		Saurians are in general excellent units that give the Drakes a killer edge.
