2nd in command to sauron

[The Saucepan Man]

The word almost being my point...

I think that Telchar's quote actually helps your argument more than it harms it, Eurytus. The point being that the Mouth is described as being almost on a par with the Witch-King and therefore possibly second only to him in the heirarchy (prior to the Witch-King's demise).

But, then again, these are Pippin's musings and I hardly think that Sauron's command structure was his specialist subject. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
