| | After the Dimholt was a natural amphitheater, which led into the Paths of the Dead. | | | Dunharrow as a refuge actually predated Rohan by several centuries: it had first been used as a refuge by the Middle Men of the White Mountains in the Second Age. | | | After the foundation of Gondor the Dúnedain seemed not to have used Dunharrow, instead opting to use the fortresses at Aglarond, Angrenost and along the Anduin to secure Calenardhon. |

| | The animated adaptation is echoed by some interesting illustrations in David Day's Tolkien: The Illustrated Enclopedia, such as "Window of the Sunset" (121) and "The Dead Men of Dunharrow" (134-5), that use collage/multi-media techniques to striking effect. | | | For instance, the 1978 Bakshi adaptation, an illustration-in-motion, shows the artistic involvement of the generation that gave us Yellow Submarine, and, coincidentally, how the creator of Fritz the Cat could completely lose his sense of humour when he came to Tolkien. | | | If illustrations and quasi-reference works are examples of a desire to enter Middle-earth as fully as possible, the furthest-reaching example of participatory response aroused by Tolkien, aside from the intense but transitory cult of the sixties and seventies, is the development of role playing games. |
