    Because Elves, bitch- Tolkien

    That’s a doozy though. Does it mean we can assume the guy who 1v1’d Ancalagon the Black could tank the fire breath?

    Like, I guess? The idea of a fighter blocking dragon breath with a shield is pretty iconic fantasy imagery if nothing else, and it’s hard to imagine Ancalagon just not using his.

        She used the same space saving technology the Numenorians have in their galleys.

        Funnily enough, 150 men and some horses would have been historically plausible. They really should have left that number vague. There should have been as many Numenorians as the plot demands, just like elves.
