Talk:King of the Dead

I don't see any reason to doubt the identity of the King of the Dead. The name is not used only by "evil men" Aragorn drives from Gondor, but also some pages earlier by none other than people of Morthond Vale when they flee. Hill of Erech and the Dead had been folklore of those regions for literally thousand of years, so it is quite clear that when they cry of "King of the Dead", they think of the undead king of the oath-breakers, familiar from the folklore. Whether they think Aragorn as him when the Grey Company descends from the Paths of the Dead is somewhat beyond the point. --Haltiamieli 15:56, 14 June 2007 (EDT)
