what are the eagles in lord of the rings
Eagle (Middle-earth) In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, the eagles were immense flying birds that were sapient and could speak. Often emphatically referred to as the Great Eagles,[1][2] they appear, usually and intentionally serving as agents of eucatastrophe or deus ex machina, in various parts of his legendarium, from The Silmarillion and the accounts of Númenor to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Just as the Ents are guardians of plant life, the giant eagles are the guardians of animal life.
Galadriel Tolkien describes Galadriel as "the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves that remained in Middle-earth" (after the death of Gil-galad)[1] and the "greatest of elven women".[2]
Eagle (Middle-earth) Upon their first appearance in the main narrative, it is stated that the Eagles had been "sent forth" to Middle-earth by ManwÃ«, to live in the mountains north of the land of Beleriand, in order to "watch upon" Morgoth,[3] and to help the exiled Noldorin Elves "in extreme cases".[7] The Eagles were ruled by Thorondor, who dwelt (apparently with the majority of his folk) in the Encircling Mountains to the west of Dorthonion.[8][9]
Jorah Mormont Jorah is portrayed by Iain Glen in the HBO television adaptation.[1][2][3]
