Who was Ghan-Buri-Ghan?

Chieftain of the Druedain during the War of the Ring. Ghan-buri-Ghan lived in the Druadan Forest in Gondor. His people were among the last remnants of the race of Men who called themselves the Drughu. By outsiders they were known as Druedain or the Wild Men; the Rohirrim called them the Woses.

Ghan-buri-Ghan met with King Theoden of Rohan in the Druadan Forest. Ghan-buri-Ghan told the King that Minas Tirith was besieged and that Enemy forces held the Great West Road. He offered to show the Rohirrim a secret way through the Stonewain Valley to the Pelennor Fields. All he asked in return was that the Rohirrim leave his people alone and no longer hunt them like animals.

Ghan-buri-Ghan's scouts reported that the Rammas Echor - the wall surrounding the Pelennor Fields - had been knocked down and that the approach was lightly guarded.

After the War of the Ring, Aragorn, King Elessar decreed that the Druadan Forest would thereafter belong to Ghan-buri-Ghan and his people and that no man could enter it without their permission.

“He was short-legged and fat-armed, thick and stumpy, and clad only with grass about his waist. Merry felt that he had seen him before somewhere, and suddenly he remembered the Púkel-men of Dunharrow.”—The Return of the King .

Pukel Men. Ancient statues on the road to Dunharrow. The Pukel-men stood at each turning of the zig-zag path leading up to the stronghold in the valley of Harrowdale in the White Mountains.

What is a Mewlip?

Mewlips are predators that hunt the swamps of Middle-earth and are very tall and strong. Pity the poor soul that falls into its grasp as a horrible fate surely awaits. They are not sentient.

Who are Rohir (Rohirrim)?

They come from the lands of the horse-lords or Rohan. In the time of the War of the Ring, they were allies of Gondor, ruled by Theoden. However Grima Wormtongue, the kings adviser, was a spy of Saruman and filled Theoden's head with doubt and fear, so much so that Theoden would have failed to act to protect his realm from the looming threat of Isengard and Mordor. Luckily Gandalf managed to break the hold that Grima had on Theoden and that allowed Theoden to take an active part in the War.

Who was Hama?

Hama was the Throne room guard that allowed Gandalf to keep his staff when visiting, which was against the strict orders of Grima. This allowed Gandalf to use his full power to free Theoden from Grima's deceitful hold. It is likely that Saruman had given Grima magical aids when controling Theoden so only magic could free him.

Who was Gil-Galad and the Last Alliance?

"It is said that the host that was there assembled was fairer and more splendid in arms than any that has since been seen in Middle-earth, and none greater has been mustered since the host of the Valar went against Thangorodrim. From Imladris they crossed the Misty Mountains by many passes and marched down the River Anduin, and so came at last upon the host of Sauron on Dagorlad, the Battle Plain, which lies before the gate of the Black Land. All living things were divided in that day, and some of every kind, even of beasts and birds, were found in either host, save the elves only. They alone were undivided and followed Gil-galad. " quote from the Silmarillion.

Gil-galad was a mighty Elven Lord that fought Sauron along-side Elendil, the human king, on the planes of Gorgoroth, and although it cost both Elendil's and Gil-Galad's lives they did wound Sauron greatly, giving Isildur (Elendil's son) a chance to cut the One Ring off Sauron's finger and vastly weaken him for thousands of years.

These are examples of the ten blister packs.

This will make an excellent addition to any diorama, painted scene or display of Tolkien Lord of the Rings figures. It was designed by well known Mithril sculptor Chris Tubb.
