I'd be the Lord of the Nazgul because
i) He's virtually immortal
ii) He taught Earnur that brain is more important than brawn (going to Minas Morgul for a duel, is it possible to be more stupid?) I...

Here's a quote from the Tolkien Bestiary. It should be quite reliable.

I was feeling very unoriginal so I picked Fenrir, the name of Loki's wolf son in Norse myth.
I picked it because:
a)It starts with the same letter as my name in real life.
b)I like the sound of...

UT or the appendixes of tLotR would be your best bet for information on the seven. We know very little about the seven rings of the dwarves and even less about the nine so don't expect anything very...

Thanks, Elanor. I didn't know that, I'll certainly look for it. The quality of sound on the record isn't as good as a CD or casette would be.

The album I have is the music to the BBC radio adaptation of Lord of the Rings. It isn't available any more, my mother bought it around 1981. The music itself is very beautiful, it has been compared...

I think it mentions that the Nazgul lost their physical shape and were swept far into the east with their master.

I agree with Mister Underhill and Lomion. It says that the Nazgul became suddenly clear and ommited to mention that they looked as if they had been busy decomposing for the past few months. In other...

I can't really answer that one but in UT it says that the WK established a camp at Andrath where the Greenway passes in a defile between the Barrow-downs and the South Downs. From there some others...

We simply disagree with unneccesary changes. Ones that were in the book but were changed in the movie to something worse.

"Nothing is evil in the beginning, even Sauron was not so"
Probably my favourite theme, hard to choose though.

While Eru does take the good side e.g. Isildur, he doesn't make it easy for them. Maybe letting the Witch-King bind mortal spirits to the downs was his way of making things tougher for the people of...

Yes, rather odd isn't it? Especially since Aule tried to make the dwarves without Eru knowing.

*rolls on floor, laughing uproariously*
