I too think it is Fangorn Forrest because the ents look after it and Saruman tried to destroy it and cut down all the trees for his industry

How about the Old Forest, with Tom Bombadil and Goldberry representing love and Old Man Willow representing hate?

All the forests are soon guessed so someone ought to get it right! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] But how about Nan Elmoth? Those feelings weren't really directed to the forest itself but were born inside of it: the great love of Melian and Thingol but later the hatred of Eöl the Dark Elf.

Well...how about the forest that Sam and Frodo were in when they were captured by Faramir? Sorry, I'm not sure if it is Ithilien or not. But, it could be Faramir and his rangers representing love for the forest and valley and then the Orcs and evil creatures around it representing hate.

Yeah, I probably should have narrowed it down a bit more. It was Nan Elmoth becuase of the love (Elwë and Melian) and Hate (Eöl).

I don't know if you want one or two people in the middle, so here goes nothing.
Elrond -- Huor -- Turin or Elrond -- Huor -- Hurin -- Turin

I'll give it to Tar-Palantir since he was on the righ track. If you left out Eärendil, it would be more correct.
Final Score: alaklondewen ->4 Horse-Maiden of the Shire ->1 Tar-Palantir ->2 Annunfuiniel ->3 Which Means alakondewen is the winner. Please proceed. [ March 07, 2003: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ] |

When Samwise went to the Grey Havens he gave the book to his daughter Elanor and afterwards it was kept by the Fairbairns (of the Tower) who made several copies. (thanks for the welcome....this is a very interesting game....It's made me dig out my very ancient copies of the books) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Yes, Dis is right, but she was Thorin's sister not Thrain's. Which leads me to my next question...

At the Battle of Azanulbizar, Thorin's shield was broken so he chopped off a branch from an oak tree to use instead. Hence the name Thorin Oakenshield. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
