Merry's part was most important. If he hadn't piercesd the flesh with his Westernesse blade, Eowyn wouldn't have had a chance.

The bad entity that gets my vote would be Glaurung the Dragon. While I realize he was created of/made by/ born of Melkor, his destruction of Nargothrond and his subsequent dealings with the children...

Had Ulmo not trusted Turgon early on, the fate of Middle-earth could have been much worse. Although Turgon eventually forsook the counsel of Ulmo, he did manage to stay hidden long enough for...

Gimli, I am 30 and I still can't grow a proper beard--I have a billygoat looking thing--so don't fret. If you're truly a dwarf, you will give Thorin something to be proud about in the 7th age.

I'd say that the orcs have the greater capacity for loathing only because they carry a dose of the evil spirit of their manipulator-Morgoth-in them. His hate spawned their hate, and they would drop...

Fingolfin, the only "pure" elf to hurt Morgoth, fighting him alone and wounding him seven times including cutting off part of his foot, would definitely be the bravest elf of all time. It says in the...

I thought only Elrond and Elros were given the immediate choice of whether to be man or elf. If, Joy, as you say like Arwen, the offspring were given the choice, then the Numenorian kings who wished...

I think, outside of Elbereth's song, the most significant one is the one Tom Bombadil taught Frodo and company. If he hadn't, the whole story would have come to a tragic ending...not that it's the...
