I didn't know he was leaving out the corsairs...that's interesting. I still think he'll include that great host of ghosts though--the creep factor of Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas being followed by that crowd of ghosts is surely too tempting to pass up. I wonder if he'll just have the spectral army show up at Pellenor Field and combine those two elements together.
Ack, I should never try to figure these things out, I always guess wrong, and I drive myself crazy in the meantime!
Not really sure about that, so check it out on a Ring thread before you concern yourself with it. Leaving out the Scouring is enough to fume about for 20 months, don't you think.
