Rumil, I believe that the Nazgul were needed elsewhere, and thus, couldn't all be sent to Dol Guldur. Even though the Nazgul had a fear of water, I think that they could ford a river if they...

I don't think there was a specific territorial divide between Dol Guldur and Mirkwood. At least we know there weren't any signs saying, "Welcome to Dol Guldur: Prepare to undergo everlasting torment...

I don't think Dain really believed in Balin's little "Questlet." Since he had looked into Moria, and seen the Balrog (although probably not face-to-face), he knew that there was no point in trying to...

The Balrog could have paralyzed everyone with fear, or he could have charged in at the end, so that there wasn't enough to time jot down "And as we had our last cup of tea a great flaming monster...

Couldn't the Balrog have "helped" hem the Dwarves into the Chamber of Mazarbul? From one side, they would have had the Watcher in the Water, from the second side, they would have had a horde of Orcs,...

The raiders would have had to exit their ships and relocate the main battle to the quays because they couldn't fire the Corsairs' ships from their own ships. Granted, they must have been a lot more...

That's true, but overcaution is just as bad as rashness. It is far better to dare mighty things than to just sit at home and not dare anything for fear of failure. Faramir knew the risks he was...

Gondor knew that she couldn't face Sauron in open battle, because that would be just folly. Sauron had the advantage of numbers. But Gondor had one thing that Sauron didn't, men who were willing to...
