If you're sure he did, can you tell me where the reference is? I wanted it for that hockey question on Entmoot. Anyhow, good answer. Ask us! </p> |

I've looked before, and never found where it said that he used that disguise in both countries, but only that he had served in them both and was known in Gondor as Thorongil.

He serves in disguise both Thengel of Rohan and Ecthelion II of Gondor.<hr></blockquote> This does not name the alias he used in either country (as your quote indicated it did). Earlier text (Appendix A) states that he was known as Thorongil in Gondor. We don't know what pseudonym he went under while serving Thengel. mailto:barrow-wight@kitgraphics.comThe Barrow-Wight</a> http://www.barrowdowns.comThe Barrow-Downs</a></p>

But I pulled out my 1993 Houghton Mifflin one volume version and it DOES says as Thorongil... so which is it??? I've always assumed they all had the same text.

The 1970 Houghton Mifflin and the 1974 and 1979 Ballantines all agree with your Ballantines and their more abbreviated Appendix B. Very mysterious. btw burrahobit, in all the Thorongil excitement I never answered that Marach led the third host of men into Beleriand. </p>Edited by <A HREF=http://pub12.ezboard.com/ugalpsi.showPublicProfile>galpsi</A> at: 7/2/00 11:29:51 pm |
