"Why are there no women or children in this band of medieval warriors? Social and societal division of labour, what's that?"
LOTR is not set in the medieval period. Its a made up era with made up cultures and made up magic. And if you're going to get all Thermian argument about it, LOTR lore has many female warriors.
Okay, thank you.
What does Thermian mean again?
