What did boromir do in rivendell?

He had no friends, no one to to talk to, he spent about a whole month there, what did he do there? Wake up, have a bit of elvish beef, a few ales then go to sleep. Must have been a lonely nevermind a...

If the Valar could make the Numenoreans live in a cave forever it seems they did lie to them when they said the Numenoreans couldn't become immortals and so the Numenoreans had a legitimate grievance.

How would one acquire an orc army?

If one was an aspiring Dark Lord, how would one go about finding the orcs to fight in one's army? I mean, how did Saruman do it? And in such great secrecy? He couldn't have made them out of the slime...

Archaeology in the real world didn't get popular until the Victorian era. Did any of Middle Earth's society progress that far? Only the hobbits, and by nature they weren't a curious sort. So I don't...

I definitely see a market for a toy that comes out with phrases like

I think we've hit a goldmine here, I'll knock up an email to the Tolkien estate in the morning.

No probs, I just feel the great Elmo needs more recognition for the deeds he did before he joined the Muppet business.

Elwe is Thingol's original name. My namesake Elmo, Elwe's brother, is Celeborn's grandad I think.

The reason he thought the elves would keep the ring would be his observation of the Elven smiths and the elves of the First Age back in the day I guess? Did he not realise that Elrond and Galadriel...

Would the Valar have ever driven Morgoth into the void without the Noldor's rebellion

Without the Noldor doing what they did there would have been no Earendil; so there would have been no messenger on behalf of the two kindred; so there would have been no War of the Wrath. Morgoth...

I think the balrog was completely indifferent to the orcs in Moria, hence his refusal to fight in the Battle of Azanulbizar.

It is mentioned in Morgoth's Ring that some of the most powerful orcs in the First Age could have been maiar. It's a quality book I suggest everyone get it. Some beautiful writing in it.

I think they would have done what Nimrodel and Amroth tried to do and sail to Aman straight from the mouths of the Anduin.

Doesn't big G the Grey mention something about the treasure being drowned in water or in a shadow of fear? Without the Balrog, the fear will be removed so some treasure, at least, could be retrieved...

The dragons weren't just in the Withered Heath, that's just 'whence came the Great Worms'. Seems to be their original home in those mountains. The dwarves must have had settlements all around the...

The Iron Hills doesn't seem that wealthy a settlement, maybe the dragons thought it wasn't worth the effort. If the Iron Hills were amazing, surely the dwarves wouldn't have been so keen to move back...

Like any self-respecting clever evil-doer, why would a great dragon help a bunch of weakling orcs, unless he was forced to by Sauron or someone? Evil doers are selfish by definition. If I was a...

Also, it was close to the Grey Mountains, which I believe was a 'There be Dragons' part of Middle Earth. Maybe the dwarves thought they had had more than their fair share of dragons up to that point...
