Hot, crispy nice hobbit is right; the Haradrim and the Easterlings would have taken any opportunity to fight against Gondor and Rohan, even if it meant siding with Sauron. I suppose they figured...

*reads through the posts* Did I start something? Hehe.

I think, returning back to the original question, that Finwe and Kransha were right; I think it's most logical to say that the disfigured...

I seem to remember a part in the Silmarillion (at the very end of, I believe, the Elves' account of the Valar, but I can't be postive of that--I just know it was the one before the last paragraph on...

Finwe! *hug* Thank you! *smacks my forehead* I can't believe I completely forgot about that. Minas Morgul = Minas Ithil = The Tower of the Moon. *sigh* I'll get it together eventually.

Disfigured moon???

(Yes, I'm in love with the three question marks ^_^)

I was reading the chapter called "The Tower of Cirith Ungol" a little while ago, when I stumbled across a passage with a phrase that confused...

As I understand it, from what I've read (though I can't remember where; I think the Barrow-wight or someone of high authority on the Downs said it) that the first dwarves were the Seven Fathers, but...

I saw the subject line of your post ("Terrible!") and I couldn't help but to click and read.

As far as I remember, Elves are fully mature (i.e. reach the forms they are seen with for a long time) by the end of their 100th or 200th year. Of course, while I used to know this, I'm bound to be...

Ah-ha! I found it! I think I skimmed over it when I was looking ahead to find out what the eagle was supposed to be: (all bold emphasis is mine)



Hope this clears that up, at least. ^_^

What would be the significance in showing this, though? Could the eagle have been a spy for Mordor, sort of like the Crebain?

Hiya! I've been chugging along in my thorough re-reading of LOTR, and taking thorough notes for my thesis. I stumbled across a passage, and I'm not sure it holds any significance, but it would seem...

Well, I can only add my supposition here; I always guessed it was one of the Crebain that Aragorn and Sam see before they go on Caradhras. They are spybirds, so one of them following the Fellowship...

It's my esteemed opinion (yeah, right) that the Balrog wasn't necessarily siding with the goblins / orcs. Yes, it goes after the Nine, but when it appeared (both in the book and the movie), the...
