Since there's nothing for X, I'll go with:

Z for Zirak-zigil, one of the peaks of Moria, where Durin, the greatest of the Dwarf-lords, reigned in the Elder Days.

You forgot Y. Y is for Yavanna, the second greatest of the Valier. Her surname is Kementari, Queen of the Earth.

So, new theme! Let's be evil. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Any evil characters, places, or things. If it's evil, it fits!

Barad-dur - Sauron's fortress during the War of the Ring [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

~OR~

I apologize for the lengthyness of my post. I couldn't bear to write a one-liner for a Tower so evil (and cool!) [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

E is for Ered Engrin, the Mountains of Iron that encircled Morgoth's old fortress of Utumno.

F is for Fire of Doom The Tolkien Companion p. 176

That's from "The Complete Guide to Middle-earth. Reads kind of like a tourist's guide, doesn't it?

Hmm, that would be a good book. The tourists guide to ME.

H is for Half-Orcs, servants of Saruman used by him as spies and soldiers. They were seemingly the product of a cross between men and orcs.

The Incomers:Another name for the Easterlings.

Q- Quenya!

We're doing evil stuff. Last I checked, Quenya wasn't evil. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hmm... There isn't much for Q. Actually, looking in The Tolkien Companion, there isn't anything that is evil for Q. OK. You're safe!

R - Ringwraiths, the Nazgul

Shelob was a gigantic spider who made her lair in the Ephel Duath, by the Tower of Cirith Ungol (named after her!). She fed on Orcs, and tried to eat Frodo. She was wounded badly by Samwise the Brave, and that is the last we hear of her. Her life or death remains a mystery. (Oooooo).
