WAIT WAIT WAIT HEADCANON.

Orcrist, Glamdring, and by assumption Sting, were Thingol's weapons. They would have been in the Tower when it fell, and been looted by the Orcs who were swarming below....

Assuming the later House Finwe family tree is valid, they can't be that close, but... could blond Glorfindel be descended from a sibling of Indis? We know that the 'children of Indis' identity was...

:confused: Isn't it usual to bump a thread when there's something to respond to? Are you waiting for a 'what do you mean by that?'? I figured you were just picking on me.

Since this is the FoG...

If we're doing vehicles, I find that both Nessa and Glaurung have trains: Nessa's is followed by deer, while Glaurung's is full of Balrogs (presumably hogging the dining car like they always do).

I... concede the point. :) If we're counting the movies (for Denethor and Aragorn), I think we have to include Frodo's tumble after Gollum; and does Haldir go over the wall when he gets shot?
