Did Frodo REALLY volunteer to Bear the Ring? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That was an interesting illustration you linked us to, Ivriniel.

My question is this: Is he a solo singer or someone in a particular group or band?

It makes sense that the Fellowship didn't see (or make note of seeing) such things, they worrying about fighting to survive.

I thought about Bilbo fighting the giant spiders in The Hobbit. They aren't referred to by gender at all, which makes sense; because Bilbo was trying to fight to survive and rescue his friends, not having the time to spare to wonder if they were boy or girl spiders.

That's a fine piece of Orc flesh you linked there, Ivriniel, but I'm afraid the Orcs of Middle-earth didn't follow the Code of Malacath. (Also welcome back!)

hahahaha,

@pitchwife, erm, I hope the Orc doesn't know who Lord Foul is, and request a honey moon 'by the romantic light of the Illearth Stone'. Orcs, I hear, enjoy how it warps living things.

@Faramir J: I think he sings in the Symphonic Metal genre -- which was why the courtship was permitted by the family. You know, 'well Ivriniel, at least it's got a touch of the Music of the Ainur - so, okay, we'll allow it. But don't go and think all his friends can come and stay over. What'll the neighbours think?"
