Big word, Cyrus.
But you know what?
You need to check the scoreboard because Woodwoes won, Bully Elf, zero.
Yeah.
I will.
And it's a portion of the chapter about the Druidine in which the Druidine make no appearance.
The folk of Haleth were strangers to the other Atani, speaking an alien language, and though united with them in alliance with the Eldar, they remained a people apart.
Among themselves, they adhered to their own language, and though of necessity they learned Sindarin for communication with the Eldar and the other Atani, many spoke it haltingly, and some of those who seldom went beyond the borders of their own woods did not use it at all.
They did not willingly adopt new things or customs, and retained many practices that seemed strange to the Eldar and the other Atani, with whom they had few dealings except in war.
Nonetheless, they were esteemed as loyal allies and redoubtable warriors, though the companies that they sent to battle beyond their borders were small.
For they were, and remain to their end, a small people, chiefly concerned to protect their own woodlands.
and they excelled in forest warfare.
Indeed, for long, even those orcs specially trained for this dared not set foot near their borders.
One of the strange practices spoken of was that many of their warriors were women, though few of these went abroad to fight in the great battles.
This custom was evidently ancient, for their chieftainess, Haleth, was a renowned Amazon with a picked bodyguard of women.
The strangest of all the customs of the folk of Haleth was the presence among them of people of a wholly different kind, the like of which neither the Eldar in Beleriand nor the other Atani had ever seen before.
They were not many, a few hundreds maybe, living apart in families or small tribes, but in friendship as members of the same community.
That is true.
Now, before that, though, we want to go briefly back to the introduction to Unfinished Tales as a whole and talk about what Christopher had to say about the inclusion of this section in the book.
That makes me wonder, did Tolkien receive a lot of questions about them?
