I hope people who haven't read or seen the third episode aren't reading this. I am Lord-of-the-Rings-challenged, so I have some questions: What are the name of the udnead warriors and how did they come about to their eternal state? What is the name of the traitorous humans that were charged by the Riders of Rohan? Pardon my idiocy.

The undead are the traitors who fled in Gondor's time of need during a war (they pledged to help them). Only the king of Gondor can free them from their curse.
The wild Men are those charged by Rohan.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense. I have to leave now, so you can ask again if you still don't get it.

I don't recall reading it in the book, even though it has been awhile.
Unless Saruman or someone else called them something, they have no name.

In the movie, they seem to be called "the Cursed", and that's the name that i liked. So if there was no proper name, there is now. "The Cursed" (c) Gus 2003.

I am interested in what they are called (proper names). Thanks. The Oliphaunts(sp?) and thier riders were Southrons, from the Middle-Earth equivalent of Africa. The troops who were supposed to arrive on the ships were from evil lands in the south-east, some of the lands called Umbar. It is rumored that is where the last 2 wizards reside. Also, in the book I believe Easterlings attack too, I dont believe they do in the book. I might've accidentally flipped names, but I dont think I have. Heres an excellant map of ME if you're interested lotrmaps.middle-earth.us/maps/r3t_M14.jpg

Thanks for the insight. I'm interested in this stuff but I'm too lazy to read the books.

The Oliphaunts(sp?) and thier riders were Southrons, from the Middle-Earth equivalent of Africa. The oliphaunts real name is actually the mumakil, or the singular mumak. Oliphaunt is actually the name hobbits gave them.
