Wow, I have achieved the status of Pile O'Bones. Lovely. I dare not look at the mirror.
And while we're on the subject of bones, since I am very new to Tolkien:
I have been told that elves can be slain or die of grief. This is an interesting concept. Does anyone actually die of grief in the course of the books? And what kind of a degree of grief are we talking about here?
