![]() Speaking of which, the Arkenstone seemed to have a hold on Thorin's mind somewhat like that of the 7 rings. Maybe it was crafted with the aid of Sauron's rings? "Prreecciiiouuss..." - Thorin... |

The po'erful ol' ghoul
Greetings, Nikkolas! May you find peace in the books more than in the movies. (Evil laughs) I'm not too sure whether the Ol' Witchking's a Numenorean, though I do remember that the named Nazgul at... |
