Weathertop is the only place that the Hobbits weren't safe, and/or where one of them was injured.

Well, what I'm thinking of seems too easy, but I might as well try it anyways: Imladris is the only one west of the Misty Mountains.

Well, I'll put my finger on Carrock again, on the ground that all three others are composed names (i.e cleaved+valley etc) and carrock, well, is just carrock (I don't think it was the stony place where beornings were parking their trucks [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

hello all.
right, my guess is that treebeard has met people from all of the places except Carrock. I believe he met Elrond (imladris), Galadriel (Lothlorien) and i dunno who from Cair andros, but its worth a guess, cos he didnt (as far as i know) ever meet Beorn from Carrock. thank you, Curulin

Ah ha, i have had another idea... here goes: is the answer that treebeard calls lothlorien by another name (Laurelindorenan) and none of the others? Alternatively, he calls all but one of them by another name, unique to him, although i cannot find where he says any of the others... thanks again, just say if im way off or along the right lines...

Curulin is correct!

Lothlorien is the only place to have had another name that we know off.

Good job and please ask another.

Taur-nu-Fuin, for it is a forest, and all of the rest are (more or less) caves

No doubt you are correct HerenIstarion, however, it is not the answer i was looking for. Guess again....

Clue: think of events that happened in the places.

Taur-nu-Fuin again, on the ground that Luthien haven't been there. She was raised in Doriath, held captive in Nargothrond and journyed to Angband with a brief official visit [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img], but I don't recall her visiting Taur-nu-Fuin

Taur-nu-Fuin is the only place where Huan did not rescue Luthien from prison or a person.

Doriath - Two of the sons of Feanor
Nargothrond - Luthien held captive
Angband - Werewolves, Draugluin himself and at last Sauron
Taur-nu-Fuin - the only place that they only ran through without any action.

I have no books here, and only thought of this because of the things said above. If this is it: thank you, Order of Wizards [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

greetings,

Taur-nu-Fuin is the only place where Huan the Wolfhound did not speak.

1st time: in Nargothrond he speaks to Luthien Tinuviel about his plans of escape
------
2nd time: in Angband, counselling Beren about his choice and doom.
------
3rd time: in Doriath, bidding Beren farewell after the Hunting of the Wolf, when his Doom was fulfilled.

Sauron did visit Angband, he was captain of Angband in the Time of Morgoth. It had to do with Sauron though.

Keep up the good thinking.

hello.
umm, angband, as it is the only place Sauron was not chased out of, or destroyed in.
Numenor, his body was destroyed along with numenor when the seas were bent.
Dol Guldur, he was chased out by the white council in the time of the hobbit,
Mordor, he was defeated by the last alliance, when the ring was cut from his finger, and when the ring was destroyed.
hmm, hope thats right...
