The Grey Havens are the harbors on the northwestern coast of Middle-earth from which elves were departing west to Aman in the Third Age. Tolkien addressed the matter of the mortals reaching Aman... |

Even with as much ambiguity that surrounds both the Ithryn Luin and Tom Bombadil, I think we know enough to rule out a connection. The blue wizards arrived either with the other three wizards in... |

As for the latter statement, isn't that great though? Puts the world as it should be. There ought to be a Tolkien-based film released every December for us to anticipate. :smokin: As... |

Hm, kind of. If Edith was his Luthien, JRR is Beren by default. There are some similarities on each side. I don't think Tolkien would've been the sort to brag on himself, even if thought... |

Maybe Tolkien was no great warrior, but he found himself in Beren's situation. His admiration for his wife was deep, and describing her as Luthien implies he shared Beren's enviable fate of... |

Weariness is a way of saying it, but specifically 'grief' is what elves are susceptible to. Miriel died of grief. A few others may die of grief as well, but no sense in spoiling the story if... |

I don't think Sam would've been able to handle someone else taking it on. Out of pure loyalty to Frodo, he would've wanted to carry on in Frodo's absence, and it seems the other two hobbits would've... |

I think it's an inadvertent cross of the two terms - "Nine Walkers" and "Three Hunters." The Fellowship of the Ring are obviously referred to as the Nine Walkers. Elrond does so at the Council of... |

This gives no reason to expect that they were living immortal lives. I would expect that Dior, his children, and Earendil would've lived very long lives. Earendil and Elwing's mortal son Elros... |

Tuor did not become an elf. He was "numbered among the elder race" - dwelt with them, was part of their population in Aman, shared their fate, etc. Likewise, "Elrond chose to be among the Elves"... |

I've always thought that he was a man (similar to the Mouth of Sauron) or an orc. The former is my real guess. As mentioned previously, it seems likely that an orc is not of such status or in... |
