Adamin:

--- Ende Zitat ---

Not necessarily. Dol Amroth and the other Fiefdoms are also quite elegantly implemented in Gondor imho, and they are most certainly from within Gondor itself.

Gondor and Rohan were definetly tight allies, though I thought that this friendship was fading before the War of the Ring, wasn't it? It could be that I'm thinking too much of the movies depiction right now. How exactly was it in the books?

Isn't there anybody here who recently read the Two Towers? ^^

Elite KryPtik:
Well, one could argue that Dol Amroth is really a faction all its own, because its a princedom, and the fiefdoms aren't implemented with an outpost, their on a settlement. What do you think of my Gondor Military Outpost idea?

I didn't recently read the Two Towers, but I guess that I agree with you.
Rohan had gradually started to isolate itself since the beginning of the influence of Saruman in these lands, at the point that this process led eventually Rohan to be more and more detached from every boundary of alliance which it was involved into (being also a strategy of Saruman intended to weaken the realm itself to prepare its dismantlement via deceiving actions or violence).

So, I think that we can clearly assume that Rohan 'froze' pretty much all its friendly ties in that period.
And, as Gandalf says, the courtesy and manners towards strangers in general became definitely bitter.

I remember that Gríma insults also Galadriel at the presence of Gandalf (saying that she weaves deceiving webs in the depths of the Golden Wood), and probably he had not very gentle words as well for everyone who could have hindered Saruman's plans (Gondor included)  :)

Elite KryPtik:
I'm currently reading the Two Towers, and yes your right, while Théoden was Corrupted the bonds of alliance were weakened. However, the minute that Théoden had been cured by Gandalf, he immediately began to set plans in motion to restore his allegiance. Besides, the idea isn't just for the time of the War of the Ring, but rather for earlier as well, throughout the Third Age.

ringbearer:
I have to say that the more i think about Elite's suggestion with gondor the more i am convinced that it would not be a bad idea at all. Gondor outpost could have a prerequisite - curred theoden-  if you want it kosher. I am all for this concept if there is a will to something gondorish in rohan. :)
