The Perky Ent 07-22-2004 04:28 PM

That...or wait for someone who's done some research to answer! Gil-Galad, you have access to the internet, and probably the LOTR books. It's not that hard...

Hirgon is correct, but I need another person. Hint, it's not during the war of the ring.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-22-2004 09:34 PM
