Yeah, sorry. I am a bit bitter rn; coupled with a tendency to be extremely nitpicky about stuff, this is not a nice combination. Thanks for the reminder not to dump that stuff in the wrong communities. Doing a good job as a mod.

    Yeah, but both the historically military role of thain and the resistance were defensive in nature. Unlike the very civilised elves, gondorians, rohirim etc. hobbits never waged wars of conquest or subjugation. At least as far as the transmitted history goes. Hell, Aragorn spends most of his reign conquering.
