I dont know. I guess i always assumed since it said they they were great kings, that they were men. Not to say that women can't be great. But i cant remember the last woman who was a great king.

Actually, I belive Aragorn died at the age of 240, not 140. Not quite sure though.

I dont know if this is a serious question (no offence intended if it is) but i think Tolkienology is simply a made up term for nerds like me that wish that there was such a thing. Tolkien's writings...

I somehow doubt that Frodo was turned away from Aman when he was the defeater of Sauron. Perhaps this would mean nothing to the Valar as it seems all events do in ME in the Third Age. But i think...

I dont know about the parallel universe thing because of the similarities between it and our world. The Man in the moon song. Only some of it is now recited and its just a nursery rhyme. But its...

no. orcs are not elves. but they were made from elves. i belive that is what the quote meant. i don't think JRR changed his mind at all. I never said orcs were elves. That would be like saying Trolls...

Sting immortality

orcs were mad from elves. elves are immortal. so would it be right to think that orcs are also immortal. i never heard of an orc dying of old age. they may not have the grace and power of elves and...

Well the Fellowship didnt really kill that Troll in Moria. Maybe Peter Jackson thinks so, but no. In the book, Boromir took a swing at its arm and his sword glanced off. The only damage specifically...

Yeah, i dont think these boats were actually going to sink just from burden. Perhaps an attack but not because of weight. Gimli was just being wishy-washy (for a dwarf). Just because Gimli was afraid...

Tolkien Frodo's Fall?

I haven't done a lot of research on this yet so, don't get mad if it's wrong. But i was wondering what everyone thought. Do you think Frodo would have been able to destroy the ring in ROTK without...

I think I would enjoy Mithlond the most. The Grey Havens would be such a cool place to live. You would get to see all the elves after they leave. Plus, after the end of the third age, it is the only...

Tolkien Folco Boffin

Folco should have been in the story more. Does anyone else agree? It would have been cool if he had been in the Scouring of the Shire.

For a while I found the geography, being as intricate as it is, to be very confusing, even though it is so integral to the story. But then my mom decided one day that she wanted me to read the...

I believe JRR left Bombadil's origin a mystery and should be left there. Any speculation is just pointless guessing, and unless some new writing of Tolkien's is found, we cannot know

Melkor does not mean Mighty Rebel or whatever you said. It means "He who arises in might". I think it is a pefectly good name for the second in command of the universe.

The eagles were not Maiar. The Maiar were created by Iluvatar. The Eagles were created by Manwe. They were Kelvar as are men, Elves, and rabbits.

Minor Correction is necessary:
Saruman could not have been envious of Mithrandir, at least not for the reason that he carried a ring. Why is this? Just the simple fact that Curunir did not know that...
