Ambush at Fangorn Forest
Thanks for your recent contributions! Can you add the references for the recent information added to the article so the visitors know where those numbers come from? Thanks so much! Help:References Hyarion (talk) 16:38, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- I checked The Lord of the Rings and was able to find some statements that supports the numbers that were added. I added references for those statements where I could find the sources in a reasonable amount of time. --Akhôrahil (talk) 16:26, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Haradrim
Hi there! I noticed you removed "Black Breath" from the infobox, can you verify the following statement in the article is also not correct then? "The Haradrim had seemingly weaponised aspects of the Nazgûl's Black Breath, or at least tipped it upon arrows and darts during the last retreat before the city of Minas Tirith was besieged."? Thanks for your contributions! Hyarion (talk) 18:00, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
- I checked The Lord of the Rings. There are no statements that support the statements that the Haradrim used poisened arrows or darts and or that there used of such arrows specifically coincided with the actions of the Nazgûl and what the intent of the Haradrim was with those attacks. I deleted those speculative statements. --Akhôrahil (talk) 16:26, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- "‘He is nearly spent,’ said Aragorn turning to Gandalf. ‘But this comes not from the wound. See! that is healing. Had he been smitten by some dart of the Nazgûl, as you thought, he would have died that night. This hurt was given by some Southron arrow, I would guess. Who drew it forth? Was it kept?’ ‘I drew it forth,’ said Imrahil, ‘and staunched the wound. But I did not keep the arrow, for we had much to do. It was, as I remember, just such a dart as the Southrons use. Yet I believed that it came from the Shadows above, for else his fever and sickness were not to be understood; since the wound was not deep or vital. How then do you read the matter?’"
