What significance did Gundabad hold other than being the place where Durin awoke? Was it ever a dwelling place for other dwarves? My impression is that Durin left it soon after he awoke and...

Buckland had a gate south of the road near the Brandywine Bridge and was also protected by the Brandywine River along with the Hedge so it is likely that they held out against the ruffians too.

It doesn't appear so. There is a map of the Shire online that shows Buckland (here (http://www.douglas.eckhart.btinternet.co.uk/maps-the-shire-01.jpg)) and the northern border of the Old Forest...

I noticed this before too and it didn't seem to make much sense. However, maybe the Lorien elves were simply following Celeborn's lead since he chose to remove to southern Mirkwood. Celeborn may...

Sauron was a necromancer and it is clear that the Lord of the Nazgul had some ability to extend the lives of the Barrow Wights, which I assume are the disembodied spirits of the Children of Iluvatar.

There's no evidence to suggest this but I wonder if Gothmog was the last king of Gondor, Eärnur. He foolishly rode to Minas Morgul and was never seen again by the good guys. I wonder if he was...

I had it confused with Dol Amroth. In UT, it is mentioned that Celeborn and Galadriel moved there for awhile before returning to Lorinand. Where is Edhellond on the map? Is it another name for Dol...

This pretty much sums up how I have always interpreted the fate of both Saruman and Sauron. I have also assumed that neither would be able to affect their environment in anyway but I wonder if it...

I don't remember much about it but there was a place called Lond Daer south of the Isen along the coast that was an elvish habitation, at least at some point. I don't recall if it was inhabited at...

One might have been possessed by Gothmog, who commanded Sauron's forces at Pelennor after the fall of the Witch King, even though other Nazgul were present. The other could have been forced upon the...

An elf.



In the case mentioned above, and if the logic holds, the Maiar in question would have to assume a compatible form (ent, elf, etc.), in order to mate, and therefore would produce an...

I think I am too obsessed with Middle Earth but it simply doesn't approach the mostly negative effect that my beloved Browns have on me. Even the Lions could beat those sorry clowns.

Numenoreans were divided into 2 groups soon after the events described in "Aldarion and Erendis." Aragorn and Faramir typify the Faithful. I think Boromir reminds me of Aldarion, not evil, but more...

I agree. A ban that is worse than the Ban of the Valar against the Numenoreans sailing west. At least a Numenorean would eventually die. The Exiles have to endure such a ban for as long as their...
