“Skouries” as in “Isengard” (The Tolkien Analogy)

First things first. For those of you that just moved to this planet, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien is the author of the “Lord of the Rings” book trilogy (and some more), upon which the “Lord of the Rings” movie franchise was based. From 2001 till 2003 when all three movies were launched, they grossed to around 3 billion dollars worldwide. The movies are taking place in Middle Earth, a land of fantasy amd magic where a relentless battle takes place among the beings that inhabit it.

In this world, the White Wizard lives, also known as Saruman (enacted by the late Christopher Lee). He resides in the fortress of Isengard, next to which the river Angren is located (also a real river in Uzbekistan). A river that gives life to dense forests that surround Isengard.

In these forests, among the trees, the Ents live. The Ents are the sheperds of the forest, its guardians. They are a tribe of creatures that resemble trees and are destined to protect the forest. Despite their role, the Ents have been quite idle and they mostly observe rather than act. They have lost their wives and for that reason they see no future in their legacy. On top of that, they are really slow in every aspect, from moving to talking. Really passive.

During the movie, Saruman switches sides and works with Sauron, a wicked entity, fixated on conquering Middle Earth. By Sauron’s command, Saruman starts building an army of Orc warriors in order to help his new master become the ruler of Middle Earth. To build this army, Saruman needs supplies and raw materials.
