[QUOTE="KenM, post: 1269590, member: 7583"] I don't mean for them to attack the forces of Mordor once they get there, but eagles can fly fast. I never siad for them to attack, thats why you have Gandalf go with them to protect them, They fly in, Frodo drops the ring in. If JRRT uses the eagles in other ways, he can use them in this way. Seems logical to me. JRRT metions Mordor is too strong for convential forces to go in strong. But the eagles can fly high and dive in from a great height right over Mt. Doom. I would expect to have someone mention about getting the eagles help, with either Gandalf or Elround saying. "that would not work because........" or " we tryed that and they would be drawn to them" or something like that. Yes IMO the eagles can make the characters jobs easier, and JRRT does not explin why they don't use them. He needed to explin it more. Like someone else said, it does lead to fun discussion. :D [/QUOTE]
