- That is interesting.. I doubt that the Ents would fight on either sides at that
- time (cos they are a peaceful race and they don't get 'hasty':)
-
- Orcs and Trolls are inherently evil creatures (made by the dark), thus it is
- almost impossible that they would be fighting for Gil-Galad and Elendil!!
-
- I don't know what the sentence means.. maybe it's just to stress that it was an
- all out war between good and evil..
