Do a post about forgoil
“Forgoil” is from the Dunlending language, meaning “straw-head”. It was used as a slur for the Rohirrim, who are mostly blond. The rift between the Men of Dunland and the Rohirrim stems from Rohan’s occupation of their land. This is the only word spoken in the Dunlending’s native tongue, therefore the etymology is difficult to break down. It is chanted during the Siege of Helm’s Deep, in which the Men of Dunland fought extensively. It is also what I call my girlfriend who is blonde, yes I am romantic.
“Death to the Forgoil! Death to the Strawheads! Death to the robbers from the North!” - Chanted by the Dunlendings during the Siege of Helm’s Deep, Two Towers, Helm’s Deep.
