To be written in...
until then feel free to brainstorm ( I hate that term) ideas under Numenore's weapons and warfare.

Well a lot of the different races all, obviously, have different weapons. It's really interesting really ^^ Elven bows, Gondorian bows, Rohan bows, orc bows, goblin bows xd Stuff like that ^^ And I know Gondor and Rohan consist of humans xd But well they're two different countries razz

According to my knowledge, each nation of Middle-earth and beyond has it's own specialty in terms of warfare.
Numenor, however, had little interest in the field until it's Darkening began, a few years before Tar-Minastir. They were widely feared for their steel bows of excellent quality, and it seems it's the weapon most publicized by Tolkien as being a weapon truly Numenorean...

churrlo Well a lot of the different races all, obviously, have different weapons. It's really interesting really ^^ Elven bows, Gondorian bows, Rohan bows, orc bows, goblin bows xd Stuff like that ^^ And I know Gondor and Rohan consist of humans xd But well they're two different countries razz ....I said Numenorean didn't I??? Although I do you think we should have a section about the changes through the generation, since Gondor and Rohan have roots from Numenore.

Skim? I wrote two lines.......ah well I suppose I should been more clearer. I had a book somewhere that discussed the weapons and such of Middle Earth (and Numenore). Must look it up sometime.

Ah fair enough I concede. Should we do weapons generally, or just famous weapons (famously wielded weapons). Just to name a few there were spears (Gilgalad), swords (Elendil), axes (draves...Gimli), bows (Legolas), twin daggers, single dagger etc.
We could also mention others such as the rings of power (weapons?), big sling shots in Gondor (proper name??? Catapults?), can you think of anymore?

Hmmm... I think what you said previously is enough to discuss. I can't really think of much else weapon-wise to discuss.

Hmm... and in a pinch, you could use the stave to brain someone. rofl
