who sends the eagles in lord of the rings
Eagle (Middle-earth) Upon their first appearance in the main narrative, it is stated that the Eagles had been "sent forth" to Middle-earth by ManwÃ«, to live in the mountains north of the land of Beleriand, in order to "watch upon" Morgoth,[3] and to help the exiled Noldorin Elves "in extreme cases".[7] The Eagles were ruled by Thorondor, who dwelt (apparently with the majority of his folk) in the Encircling Mountains to the west of Dorthonion.[8][9]
