Ok, this may seem like a dopey little question, but it ahs been driving me crazy and i have been cross-referencing books all over the place: is legolas' mum or gimli's mum mentioned anywhere?!?! do those poor boys HAVE mums? ha ha, that sounds very strange, but i know their fathers were very important, so it seems as if their mums might have done something noteworthy...not that Tolkien is exactly famous for abundant important female characters. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] but not to say anything against the man! any help would be great, though i kind of doubt there is any to be had.
