Definitely thought provoking, and an interesting contrast between two ways of life.

Author Reply: I'm sure the Corsairs would have some terse comments on the suggestion that they're in it for the fun, and not for the treasure.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

Interesting to see the viewpoint of the Corsairs, since Tolkien never gives us their side of the story.

They are owned by what they own: elaborate houses; overdecorated women; useless possessions. I will admit to reading that with a little cringe of recognition, LOL, but it is a great line.

Arrr, this be a good drabble. :-D

Author Reply: Well, my vision of the corsairs is probabaly a bit more romantic than most, me hearty. "Fighting not for plunder", indeed! They'd beg to differ with me, given half a chance. So I give them none.
