I will most likely feel stupid later, but I don't even understand the question. Perhaps it is because I haven't gotten to The Return of the King yet, but I have looked and the only thing I found about any Lightfoot was this:

Faithful servant yet master's bane,
Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane.

But that is just the stone upon Snowmane's grave. I guess I don't know this one.

Re: The Two Towers

Then I'd guess Barad-dur and the White Tower of Minas Tirith, though I don't know exactly what 'originally' means in this instance.

Re: The Two Towers

Still incorrect.

Originally means just that: the original concept.

The answer may be seen on the original unprinted cover by Tolkien.

This was later amended to the concept as printed at the end of FELLOWSHIP.

Re: The Two Towers

I'll split the difference here.

The original two towers were Minas Morgul and Minas Tirith.

Cover may be seen in Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator.

The book tentatively identifies it as possibly Barad-dur.

In that instance I should probably give credit to Rkittle afterall.

Oh there's no doubt that as of publication the two towers were Minas Morgul and Orthanc.
That is QUITE CLEAR and indisputable.

It's the initial concept I was after here.

Re: Ask us!

You got a quarter of the answer right. Tilion was assaulted, but you didn't say what assaulted him. Ariwn wasn't assaulted. The other half of the answer is found towards the end of the book.

Re: Ask us!

I am going to say Earandil was the other then, but he wasn't really attacked, it was during battle. but if i am right, and it was earandil, then ancalagon attacked him when morgoth loosed the winged dragons. and tilion was attacked by spirits of shadow or something(had to look that one up).

Re: Really easy one

You have no idea how loaded a question this is for some people. I've seen lively debates on Noldorin rules of descent. One interpretation would be that Maglor, the only son of Feanor who survived Maedhros, would have become the king.

Re: Really easy one

I guess this wasn't the greatest of questions.

This is how I would do it Feanor, Maehdros until he dies, Maglor until it was found that he couldn't be king, then from here it would fall back into what it is as we know it, unless we assume that Celebrimbor was Curufin's son. Then it would be Celebrimbor being the only decendant of Feanor still alive, or known to be alive.

In UT or the Apendixes, can't remember which, it is said that Khand was stirred by Sauron's ambassadors and allied itself with MORDOR. (I think.)
