Wait what? How long do Tolkien's humans live?

[–] Kitathalla@lemy.lol 2 points 1 hour ago

Aragorn was pretty directly descended from the cool humans, or Numenoreans. They have some special things, like living to something like 24X years in Aragorn's case.

Aragon has Numenorean blood. He could live past 200 and was like 87 in LOTR. Arwen is thousands of years old and was I believe born early into the 3rd age.

This is how I find out Théoden is younger than Aragorn!?

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 11 points 13 hours ago

Theoden remembers Aragorn as a grown man from his childhood in the court

Yeah, in that scene where he is yelling at Aragorn "Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell?", he is disrespecting one of his elders directly to their face.

She has to use some garlic, I see.

I suspect a bigger issue was lack of access to salt.
