nope. it doesn't have a proper name. And you shouldn't take the hints too literally. it's not really moving even though it is "ever moving".
did this help or are you just more confused?

I'm still confused.

Is it a geographical place?

no, it's not a geographical place.
would it help if I said that the "ever moving" comes from a song that made it to the movies and the "dangerous" part is from a clause of Bilbo.

I'm really bad at giving hints.

Road!!! I was going to say that!! But I didn't think followed fit it.. But it's perfect for ever moving (road goes ever on and on...) and danger. (It's a dangerous business Frodo going out your door...)

After I look at it again though it is pretty good. The road is followed, I just interpreted the road as following something. Very riddle-like I do say. Let's see hmm...


black, swift, infamous

maybe Ancalagon?
he was black and infamous and since he was the first of the winged dragons you could say he was swift.

nope, I suppose infamous is a bad hint, since everything in Middle-Earth that's written about is infamous. It's a Weapon, and no it's not Anglachel.

Nope. It's a weapon that's not usually black, but this thing in particular was special...

I can't believe this... black, swift, infamous... How can it NOT be Gurthang!!!

Um...


Is it the Original Grond, Hammer of Morgoth perhaps?? (not very hopeful)
OR could it be Grond, the battering ram of Mordor (even less hopeful)

aw man... i knew saucepan would get it :P







I always wondered, why on earth would a bloke like Bard carry a black arrow around with him? Also it was never specified whether the arrow was one of many, and just happened to be the last, or was the only black arrow he owned. Mayble all his arrows were black. :P

Good point Ossë, I just always assumed it was special, because if they were all black how could he save it for last? Anyway, you're up Mr. Sauce.

Orcs? They destroyed trees, and their foulness is already obvious.

White-Hand Time for a hint

'Fraid not.

The answer is not something that is living, although it was likely to have been caused by living things ...
