I was just curious, does any one know anything about the thalan. I've read the IGN thing, and It suggest that they are here from a different time to stop some event from occuring. I'll post what I think below this, but I want everyone to post what they think of Thalan, and were they came from.

Now for my opinion.
-I think the Thalan are some form of the Arnor who are here to stop the Dread Lords again. This would explain the whole "from a different time" deal, and go along with the story.
