Re: Items In Middle Earth

White rod or sceptre with a knob, close enough.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

Like Thinghol did once, Elrond asked Aragorn for some items to let him marry his daughter: what items where them?

Hmm

I can't remember Elrond asking for any specific items of Aragorn for Arwen's hand - but he did say that Arwen could only marry the King of Gondor and Arnor, so would it be the Crown of Gondor and the Sceptre of Arnor?

Hmm... I'm going to risk a tricky one that might turn on me here. <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> How many Rings of Power visited weathertop during the the year TA 3018?

Rings on Weathertop

This will be disputed Gwaihir, because no-one knows for sure whether Nazgul held their rings or not; however most would argue that they did not hold their rings and Sauron held them under his power, because if they did have them on their fingers Frodo would've seen them when he put the One Ring on. Taking the point of view that they did NOT hold their rings, Two - Narya, that Gandalf received from Cirdan when he first arrived, and the One Ring that Frodo bore (obviously.) However, if you choose to count the Nazgul, the answer is seven. <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

Re: Rings on Weathertop

Very good. Two was the answer I was searching for, actually, so your serve again.

Tower Hills

There you go then <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> This had almost definitely been asked before, but for the lack of another item related question I shall ask it again: What was so special about the palantir of the Tower Hills, the Emyn Beraid?

Re: Tower Hills

Was the stone of Emyn Beraid the stone of Elendil? That who did only looked to Tol Eressea where the Master of the Stones lives.

BTW, the answer of the previous question would have been 11, if we count the Rings of the Nazgûl; since all nine attacked Gandalf at the Weathertop.

Miscalculation

Yes, the stone of Emyn Beraid looked towards Eressea. Re: the Rings - you are correct Grond, it would have been eleven but for my miscalculations. <img src=rolleyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"> Ask, Grond!

Re: Miscalculation

Congrats for your 100 posts enep!

And here's my next question (it's a bit tricky): Who did ever hold the Ring?

Ring

Thanks Grond. Btw, what do you mean by 'who did ever hold the Ring?' Do you mean who are the Ringbearers, or who held it for the longest, or who held it but did not wear it? Or am I missing something? Hmm...<img src=ohwell.gif ALT=":/">
