Hot, crispy nice hobbit has just left Hobbiton.
1420! Never ask an elf...

Sounds quite like those wicked witches in Macbeth ...

But when Glorfindel said that the ol' Witchking's doom is still 'far off', I agree that he was probably advising the puny mortal men not to pit themselves against something beyond their ability.

On the other hand, I wonder why the Barrow-wights (which are supposedly under the command of the ol' ghoul), should keep nasssty Westerness kitchen knives in their homes...
