Nope, easterlings are inspired by central asian steppe nomads. LOTR has nothing to do with China.

I am tying to watch it but it is hard. That Harfoot community is very small yet they have the diversity of the whole planet. Only way to sustain that is if siblings mate with each other and never mix. Still leaves the question, how did such diverse people meet up to begin with?

Everything about that was awful, I couldn't watch it all.

Are the Dornish based on Iberians ?

Tauriel is so hot

Is it right for a human male to have such desires for an Elfish female ?

Sauron (Quenya; IPA [ˈsaʊron] or [ˈθaʊron]), the eponymous Lord of the Rings, was the greatest subversive Maia, the maker of the One Ring, renowned student of the Vala Aulë, and the most trusted lieutenant of Morgoth.

Their chiefs were Eönwë, banner-bearer and herald of Manwë, and Ilmarë, the handmaid of Varda. Five of these spirits, in the Third Age, became the incarnated Wizards.

ch of the Maiar is associated with one or more particular Vala of similar stock, though less powerful. For example, Eönwë is the herald of Manwë and Ilmarë the handmaiden of Varda, while Olórin served both the Wind-king and the Star-Queen. Olórin's ways took him often to the house of Nienna, and he learned from her pity and patience. Curumo and Mairon (who later become a servant of Melkor, taking the name of Sauron) belonged to Aulë, while Aiwendil served Yavanna. Ossë, Uinen and Salmar, as spirits of the sea, belonged to Ulmo, Alatar and Pallando belonged to Oromë and Melian served both Vána and Estë.
