Simple one coming up: (I do want all three questions answered)
From FA 457 - 467, Tol Sirion was controlled by Shadow. Who controlled it, what was it renamed, and who was 'the messenger'?

Part 1) Who was the chief messenger between Morgoth in Angband and Sauron in Tol-in-Gaurnoth? Part 2) What does the name mean and what language is it? [ April 16, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

10 day rule
who did Sauron call his "Cat" and why, according to tolkein, is this not an accurate nickname? |
