?

I think that you mean Elladan and Elrohir. Elros was the brother of Elrond and the first king of Numenor. Elladan and Elrohir were Elrond's sons and I to would like to have a little light shed on...

To answer Knight of Gondor's qusetion Unfinshed Tales as you can probably imagine is short tales that cover just about every time period in middle earth. Off the top of my head I can remember stories...

I agree

I agree with Vanya, about the story of Rohan. The backround stories and information I found most interesting, but my favorite part was the part about the battle at the Fords of Isen. Where Theodred,...

Yes

I think that they would have won for the moment. The final charge of Theoden and Aragorn was a last ditch type effort and they succeeded in driving back the Uruk-hai, but I think that if the forest...

The job of the stuard

The job of the stuard is to run the kingdom until the rightful king returns. Aragorn is the rightful king and he has returned. Problem solved.

Thats quite a gap there

I think that this might be one of Tolkien's biggest over sights. A gap in the story if you will. It is said in the lord of the rings that a race of men called the Boerning keep the area arounf the...

Ents

I agree with windcaller for the most part. I assume that they stayed at Isengard for quite a while and made it a "beautiful" place. I think that it became their stronghold for a while then when...

What does he mean?

I think that Boromir knows that Gondor's strength is slowly leaving them. I also think that he knows that the only ally that they have had a kept from the begining is Rohan. Through everything thay...

I agree

I agree with those that say that the pride of the sons of Feanor and Feanor himslef are the main cause for the war. But when you think about it, these jewels are beyond price. The obviousley can't be...

Not the last

I am pretty sure that there is an instance in the Hobbit where it is stated that there are more dragon in the mountains of the north and that Smaug is simply the biggest of them. I do not think that...

Shield Very young

Theoden was pretty young when Thorongil aka Aragorn fought with his father. It is possible that he did not recognize him for a number of reasons. One may be that he simply doesn't remember him...

As for as I know

As far as I know it was given to Treebeard and his ents because of the suffering they endured while they were fighting Saruman. They made things grow there again, and it became a beautiful place...

Eye dwarves are underated

It is true that dwarves are not present much in the lord of the rings. I think that this is because of the active roles that they had in the hobbit where you really didn't meet any elves. However...

Sean Bean was great

I think that Sean Bean was great in FOTR. One of the besty actors in it my opinion. Also I think if you look very closely at Viggo and Bean I think that Viggo is a biy lanky and a lot skinnier which...

Need to be careful

Think about it. Boromir is the son of the stuard of Gondor. Imam sure that he is up there on Sauron's hit list. He probably had to be care ful to avoid any areas where enemies could be. Plus he lost...

Boromir is the greatest

Boromir is a valiant and honorable man. He is fearless in battlle and is loved by the soldiers of Gondor. It is most unfortunate that he was snared by the power of the one ring. But really it could...

Isildur has to be one of the greatest heroes of all time. He not only escaped the downfall of Numenor with the white tree but also he cut the ring from Sauron's hand. Not to mention he helped found...
