    One of my favourite, even got if not very known, is the battle of Dale from the War of the Ring. I found very impressive that, at the age of 252, Dain Ironfoot was still able to fight like one of the best warriors of Middle Earth, even if he died in this battle while defending the body of his allied, King Brand of Dale.

    • Lord Spitfire is a Demon lord who spends most of the story in Demonland fighting the various Witchland invasions. His chief residence is the castle Owlswick.
    Despite the names of the nations, all the characters in the book are recognizably human and they are all the same species, or at least able to intermarry (e.g., Goldry Bluszco and Princess Armelline, Lord Corund and Lady Prezmyra). Witchland, Demonland, and others appear to be country names, like England and France. When first presented, the Demons are seen to have horns on their heads, but these horns are not mentioned again, nor is it said whether the other peoples have horns.

    I would have to say The Worm Ouroboros is a bit of an acquired taste. I can see a lot of modern readers not enjoying the "antique" prose. (Though I did like it!)

    Chris you must be about the only person I've ever spoken to who's actually read it!

    I've read a lot of fantasy fiction... I guess I became curious about it at some point. I've read some things by other pre-Tolkien fantasists as well, like Lord Dunsany.

    Ahem... back on topic. For single combat, can one beat Fingolfin's valiant duel with Morgoth?

    I need to admit that Third Age Total War is my favourite game + mod : )
