Discussion History Characters / TheSilmarillion

Both in the character sheet and on the main page implications are made that Caranthir had foul motives for rescuing Haleth\'s people and offering them a home on his lands. This is a personal opinion not supported by anything in the actual book. Caranthir is said to have looked upon them with kindness and to have come to appreciate their bravery. Also the lands he would have given them would have been far \'\'behind\'\' his fortifications, because his capital was in the upmost north of his realm, while the Edain would have lived in the southern part of it. If anyone would have been a meat shield, it would have been Caranthir shielding the folk of Haleth.

I sense some malice towards characters creeping its way on the page. It\'s okay to dislike characters, but don\'t let your dislike make you twist what is actually written in the original material into something that it\'s not.
