Who was Legolas' mother?

The Ruling Ring · 02-03-2003, 12:44 PM

Legolas didn't have a mother; he sprang up out of the ground, like an Orc (but the similarities end there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

What are the three Rings for the Elven Kings for?

02-03-2003, 01:30 PM

They represent an institution akin to marriage, but far less nonsensical - Cirdan passing his Ring to Gandalf was as a token of fraternal love and respect. After their divorce, however, neither had to give up half his earnings or wealth to appease the lazy half of their union.

Gandalf. Tolkien neglected to translate that part of the Red Book, in which they tell what form the "wisest of the Maiar" traditionally took. He would weep duck tears with Nienna, and then quack himself to sleep at night.

He turned crazy because Eru forced him to listen to the music sung by the Valar and Maiar at the beginning of the world over and over and over and over and over and over.

How old is the average oliphaunt?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 02-07-2003, 07:03 AM

Five. They have deceptively short lives.

How did the Southrons manage to keep Oliphaunts relatively tame?

Diamond18 · 02-07-2003, 12:06 PM

They didn't, it was the Oliphaunts who tamed the Southrons.

A swirling vortex of death and pain, called, "The Dying Triangle"; where ships are lost and never heard from again; where grown men weep and nightmares are born; where the wild things are, my friend.

What really happened to Fatty Bolger when the Ringwraiths came to Crickhollow?

Why did Thingol disapprove of Beren as a husband for Lúthien?

hobbitlass · 02-07-2003, 04:41 PM

His earning potential was VERY limited. Not to mention the those earings and that haircut and the rumors.
*******************************************
What attracted Luthien to Beren?

Iarwain · 02-07-2003, 04:50 PM

She was an outright rebellious child and had dreams of going to Hon-A-Lee so she could be with Puff and little Jackie Paper. Beren knew the way there. Plus they were both hippies.
