Re: Re

The Hobbit tells the story of the Eagles joining in the Battle of Five Armies. And I always considered the orcs an wolves one army and the Eagles the 5th. But you are right, Balin. The Battle was named the Battle of the Five Armies before the Eagles arrived.

Re: Let's Keep It With The Hobbit

Dwalin.

To clarify the earlier Bard question, when Bard shot the Black Arrow it was his last remaining arrow. He had been fighting the dragin during several fly-bys, so he must have shot many arrows in the battle.

Re: Let's Keep It With The Hobbit

BTW, coincidence again: in the Eddic &quot;Rune-lore&quot;, it is stated that Daîn was the first of the Elves, and, Dwalin the first of the Dwarves (who ever were). A myth-lore joke by Prof Tolkien?

Fatty Bolger - Clue#1

I'll give you a clue .... Fatty did not give in to 'The Chief' and Sharky. In fact he formed a rebel band. But eventually he was caught!

Does that help?

Re: Fatty Bolger - Clue#1

Actually, Gondolin's answer looks right to me.
Gimli said &quot;I though Fangorn (the ent) was dangerous.&quot;
And Gandlaf replied with the quote.

Re: Re:Ents

Since I don´t have a good question now, I´ll ask for the speaker of a quote. Who said:

&quot;But still we will not sit idle and let Him do all as He would [...] These cursed Southrons come now marching up the ancient roads to swell the hosts of the Dark Tower. [...] We come to teach them another lesson [...] The road may pass, but they shall not!&quot;

Re: Re:Ents

There were four Shipkings. The first was Tarannon Falastur (T.A. 913-936). He was succeeded by his nephew Earnil I (936-1015). Then followed Ciryandil (1015-1149) and Ciryaher (who took the name Hyarmendacil (South-victor)) and reigned from (1149-1226). At this point Gondor reached the zenith of its power and authority. Unfortunately, Hyarmendacil was succeeded by Atanatar Alcarin, who began the line of the lazy kings.

Re: Gimli &amp; Thorin

Hmmm..... not sure I would accept either answer if I was in a bad mood.

Gimli`s great-grandfather (Farin) and Thorin`s grandfather (Thror) were first cousins, so by my reckoning Gimli and Thorin were sixth cousins. Their common ancestor was Nain II, who was Thorin`s great-great grandfather and Gimli`s great-great-great grandfather. If any expert genealogists disagree let me know.

Anyway, I guess you are closest Sharku, so I`ll pass the next question to you.

Bralda-him is a Hobbitish word that mean 'heady-ale'...kind of a funny play on Bralda-nin which means 'border-water'. Both of these, of course, are referring to the Brandywine River.
