In the King of the Golden Hall, much is made of staves. Gandalf is permitted to bring his staff into Theoden's presence. Theoden remained hunched upon his own staff (with its white-bone handle) until Gandalf tells him, &quot;Cast aside your prop!&quot; Grima is described as having been a &quot;support&quot; to his master. With what historical episode does all this talk of old kings and of staves resonate?
(hint, Hama)
