Brand new trivia from the lazy Old Man

What did he see? Well, he probably did not see that I“m off. See "More trivia". </p>Edited by <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000003>Sharku</A> at: 7/16/00 3:18:08 pm |

This, however, was not always what the the Kings of the South-Kingdom wore. What were the origins of the first crown of Gondor, and why wasn't the headgear of Anįrion used? "Farewell! Wherever you fare, until your eyries receive you at the journey's end."</p> |

Anarion`s helm was crushed by the stone cast from the Barad-dur which killed him. The first crown was replaced by a more ornate design during the reign of Atanatar Alcarin.
