These may not be the ones you are looking for, though!

Sam was certainly turned invisible by the Ring... and he did, for a short time, have delusions of grandeur. So he was def. affected by the Ring.

I was thinking of the dependency that the Ring caused in its bearer, which hardly appeared in Sam. The matter of the delusions of grandeur is not very clear, in my opinion, since Sam has in that moment only one idea in his mind: rescueing Frodo.

<img src="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/posticons/bluepal.jpg" align=absmiddle> Re: Pippin is caught!

Well done Mithadan, the answer was indeed Tom. Sauron was affected by the ring, or at least he was &quot;consumed with lust for it&quot;, even though he made it himself. Sam was affected by the ring very little (although the 'delusions' show that he was). This was probably because he was a guy with no ambitions, meaning he had no need for the ring.

So ask away, Mithadan.

Re: Pippin is caught!

I don´t think the answer appears clearly in any of the works of Tolkien, but, in my opinion, the greatest warrior ever was Hurin Thalion, as:
-Turin didn´t have such a high destiny as Beren (said by Melian)
-Beren needed the help of Finrod and Luthien.
-Earendil wasn´t properly a warrior himself.
...

Re: Pippin is caught!

Your guess was a good one, Grond. In the Silmarillion, when Hurin casts himself into the sea, he is described as the greatest warrior of mortal men, or words to that effect.

Do carry on.

Re: Pippin is caught!

Great question! Feanor asked Galadriel for a strand of her hair but Galadriel declined, probably adding to Feanor's hatred of that side of the family. But, as we all know, Gimli asked for and received three strands of Galadriel's hair.

Re: Pippin is caught!

Great answer, Mithadan! You´re completely right. I expected this thread to last longer but... it´s your turn now! Ask us!

I´d like to now some opinions about this topic: Feanor first thought of the Silmarils when he saw the hair of Galadriel (which had the color of the mixed light of Laurelin and Telperion) and thought of putting this light inside a crystal (made of silima), the same Gimli said he was going to do with those strands, so: do we have a forth Silmaril? Is it related with the prophecy of Mandos about the return of Morgoth and the end of the world?

Re: Fourth Silmaril

Varda, Yavanna, Nienna.
But is that the order????
I think Yavanna is mentioned before Nienna, isn't she?

Re: Fourth Silmaril

Then, if it's a transitive action, I could say they learn the language <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)"> . Anyway, the answer could be they put on their knees and beg Aulë's (or Eru's, I don't remember quite well) pardon when they saw the hammer?

I was looking for Gandalf foresight and his ability to put &quot;images&quot; or &quot;dreams&quot; in the hearts of those who spoke to him.

Just a question about your answer and not for the post since Gwairir gets to do that. But would each wizard get their certain power from who they studied under? Gandalf, the under-study of Irmo ends up with powers similar. Would then Saruman, have powers similar to Aule, and the blue wizards to Orome(weren't they of his order?). I think this would be right since Saruman was so interested in the ring and all.

Yes, Durelen, you would be correct. Maiar under Valar were helpers of their particular Power, so they had to share the same interests and skills.

It's a god thing that I mentioned foresight as well; I wasn't going to at first, but moved it may be by some deep premonition of danger I took the precaution. <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)"> Anyway; these two Elfs had two unusual twists each in their life stories that they shared; they were both women.

Re: Go!

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;Thou art the inmost province of the fading isle
Where linger yet the Lonely Companies.
Still, undespairing, do they sometimes slowly file
Along thy paths with plaintive harmonies:
The holy fairies and immortal elves
That dance amoung the trees and sing themselves
A wistful song of things that were, and could be yet.
They pass and vanish in a sudden breeze,
A wave o bowing grass--and we forget
Their tender voices like wind-shaken bells
Of flowers, their gleaming hair like golden asphodels.<hr></blockquote>

The answer, then, would be 'the Lonely Companies,' holy faeries and immortal elves. Thankyou for introducing to me that poem Sharku (The alt codes are stuffing up, Opera 5 doesn't have an 'insert symbol' option and IE always crashes.

Re: Surprising News

So here's my Q -- everyone probably remembers the scene in Bilbo's room after the Council of Elrond, when Bilbo jokes with Gandalf that he (G.) had been surprised at the news that Gollum had escaped, and G. says with typical arrogance that he knew all about it, was the only one at the Council who was not surprised by anything, etc. etc. But what was reported to Gandalf at the Council that DID surprise him?

Re: Surprising News

Well of course I used a secondary source. I'm too impatient not to. <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)">

To continue with the entymologies (sp?):

I'm not sure where this answer lies...(a secondary source mayhaps? <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> ) but what is the name in Black Speech for 'guts?'

Re: Surprising News

From a translation JRRT gave of the curse of the Mordor-orc in 'The Uruk-Hai': bubhósh means pig-guts, hósh is guts.

Re: Surprising News

Re: ENT-ymology

Three? I know there is treebeard, skinbark, and leaflock. But I guess ther could be more, I don't know, don't have LotR.

why did Hurin Thalion not where the Dragon Helm of Dor-Lomin to the Nirneath Arnodiad

[HerenIstarion]

He was not at ease wearing it (only his father and grandfather were), and he prefered to meet the enemy with his face open, rather then cause fear by the horrible mask of the helm.
