Re: Eomer's horse

Oin?

Too many damn dwarves and I don't own The Hobbit... Oin was the first one who popped into my head though...

Re: yup! it was Bofur

I hope I'm basically following protocol; I just found this site earlier today and jumped in for good measure...What distinguished Bifur, Bofur and Bombur from Thorin Oakenshield's other dwarvish companions in the journey to liberate Erebor?

Guessing from your earlier answer, I'm going to have to say their coifs (hoods).

Re: Butter-fingers!

Various places throughout the history of Middle-earth. Some went wth the folk of Haleth into the forest of Brethil in the first age. Some also lived in the houe of Hurin. After the War of Wrath some even went to Numenor. In LotR they lived in the Druadan Forest. Overkill? I know not of this word.

Re: Butter-fingers!

&quot;He tarried there from errantry,
and melodies they taught to him,
and sages old him marvels told,
and harps of gold they brought to him.&quot;

He tarried where?

Re: Butter-fingers!

I almost said Arvernien, because I recognized the poem, and Earnedil first was there. But that was just the beginning. He tarried from errantry in Tirion.

Re: Butter-fingers!

Well OK, then. I'm not good with poetry. But he was within sight of Tiron (which is in Eldamar <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b"> )

Re: Butter-fingers!

True, but not what I mean. All those of noble descend are descendants of these two, I mean, who founded the realm of Dol Amroth, and the lineage there?

Re: Butter-fingers!

Perhaps you mean Earendil and Elwing or have I retreated too far?

Re: Butter-fingers!

Still too far, Čarendil and Elwing never settled in Dol Amroth and founded a lineage there.

Re: Butter-fingers!

I remain utterly at a loss for tha answer to this question. The only other thing I remember about Dol Amroth was Legolas marking Imrahil's elvish blood. He alludes to Nimrodel and of course he had sung the lay of Nimrodel when the bereaved fellowship approached Lorien. But Nimrodel never crossed the White Mountains and Amroth drowned himself -- so I don't think they could be understood as founders of the line, except in the eponymous sense. Of course Imrahil's banner, a white swan on a blue sea seems to point back to Earendil, but you already ruled that out.
