Re: Simple question...maybe

Don't feel dumb. Apparently, this is just one of those questions where the information just didn't get top priority in everyone's mental file cabinets. When I first read Hobbit/LoTR I was partial to Dwarves so maybe this tidbit just caught my attention.

OK. BIG hint. The answer's in the appendices. You see there was once this Dwarf named Thror who got a little tetched in the head and did something outstandingly stupid...

BTW, Palandore, welcome!
