Men of the Twilight: 2. Notes

2. Notes

Author's Notes

'For so we reckon Men in our lore, calling them the High, or Men of the West, which were Númenóreans; and the Middle Peoples, Men of the Twilight, such as are the Rohirrim and their kin that dwell still far in the North; and the Wild, the Men of Darkness.

'Yet now, if the Rohirrim are grown in some ways more like to us, enhanced in arts and gentleness, we too have become more like to them, and can scarce claim any longer the title High.... For as the Rohirrim do, we now love war and valour as things good in themselves....'

The Two Towers, LoTR Book 4, Ch 5, The Window on the West
