Haha! Now I understand why Legate was so keen to downplay Mandos being the place!

Well won! *bows*

Thank'ee, Nog. I'm happy about this achievement, because during the first rounds I was having the feeling that my cards can't really have much of a success. The green taters were just horrible for my selection of cards.

On a different note, with all those double-postings (Fangorn and Huorns, Mandos and Doom of Mandos), I wonder what nice pair are we going to get for the upcoming round...

I am a bit sad I missed out on the last round, but unfortunately I could not find time to get online for more than half a minute at the time this weekend.

As far as the next round goes, long crazy weekend again. Give me an hour or so to get everything situated and next round will be up.

I would go for Tol-in-Gaurhoth, as the most famous thing on the Downs. I do remember one thing, though:

It's so fun to treat it as a werewolf game, though.


As for the others, which are also good but not as funny:

Gwaihir - he's the lord of the Great Eagles, man!
Mordor - come on, even Bree-folk have heard of it.
Feanor - oh, you mean the guy who carved those shiny things that started the great mess that ended up making the legendarium a score of books longer than it could have been?
Bard - you get some credit for killing a dragon, of course.
Great Goblin - he's Great. Need I say more?
Shadowfax - well, I can't say he's exactly famous, but he would be if ME was a horse racing show.
Two Trees of Valinor - well... they're known and important certainly, but they just don't sound well with famous.
The Prancing Pony - haha, this one's actually quite good. The famous inn!
Turin - infamous, more like it. But I love the pun, and really, he was quite famous,first as just Turin, then as Gorthol, then as Mormegil... it's a pity that the fame went to his head...
Glorfindel - famous? Great, yes. But famous?
