Hi,

After reading some of the threads here, it seems that as of 3 years ago, the FoG was in "final stages". Is there a way I could get a copy of the final draft so I can read it? :)

I bet you could even eliminate Bilbo there because I believe Balin had visit the Shire on a few occasions and met Frodo. Frodo says something about this at the Council of Elrond I believe (or...

I do remember that Shagrat seemed to know many things about how Shelob hunted her prey, so I think its reasonable to assume he at least watched her from afar, so I'll accept it. I was actually...

Are you sure that Sauron and Shelob actually met? I know Sauron knew Shelob guarded the pass but I don't remember reading that they ever met each other.

Ungoliant => Shelob

I found a solution to this in a total of 5 steps, so please use at most 5. If you can come up with less, go for it!

Oath of Feanor

I'm curious how people here picture the scene in Valinor when Feanor and his sons swear the oath. Now I've only read the Sil so maybe Tolkien gives more description of this in other works.

These are all good points :) and perhaps we have answered hewhoarisesinmight's original question, in a round-about offtopic way. If Melkor had diminished in power by the time the Valar waged war...

Yes, Tolkien says that Melkor is the most powerful many times. But I can't think of any particular instance where he proves this. Tulkas is said to be a great wrestler and this is proven by him...

One thing I've always been confused about, is Tolkien repeatedly states in the Sil that Melkor is the most powerful Vala ever, and it really seems sometimes like he's trying to drive this point home...

Thanks Legate,

After reading it again, I think you're right. For some reason it sounded like he lay there for an age or so and then at last the world was broken again. But I think your...

Breaking of the World

Hi all,

My question relates to this passage regarding Aragorn's death:

Isildur's Bane

Hello,

I am trying to determine whether Denethor knew that the "Isildur's Bane" from Boromir's dream was indeed the One Ring before he sent Boromir to Rivendell. According to the movie he did...
