I'll do another P
P is for Paths of the Dead

m..n..o..p...Q! muhaha! I know the alphabet! *ahem* but theres nothing for it. So on to...R!

R is for Ring of Isengard which was the ring of mountain surrounding the tower or Orthanc. The Ents tore into this, which would make it quite the tourism site in later ages.

And people, provide a description of the item/person/place when you post. Those are the rules.

I'm sure that all of these must have been done before, but i will say...

S is for Silmarils-the jewels that Feanor made in which the light of the Two Trees of Valinor was imprisoned.

The silmarils are not a landmark, as far as I know... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

S is for The island of Sarn Gebir, near which the fellowship was attacked while in the boats.

T is for...t is for....um.....Tower of Cirith Ungol! I'm not sure, can that be classified as a landmark? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

U is for Udûn a deep circular valley ringed by sheer black barren cliffs with two passes, Cirith Gorgor to the North and Isenmouthe to the South. It's interesting to not the name Udûn means Hell as well as the name for this valley.

V is for Valinor, the land of the Valar. I'm sure most people would consider Heaven to be a landmark.

W is for...w.....um.....the Winding Stair, one of the 2 sets of stairs to Minas Morgul (I think...I never quite understood the geography of that area [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]...)

There's nothing for X, so I'll use the old fall-back for Z: Zirak-zigil, one of the Mountains of Moria.

Maybe nicknames is a nice topic for the next round. So don't write down the real names, but things they were called otherwise.

A is for Annatar: The name Sauron gave himself in Eregion.

B is for Biter the nickname given to the sword Orcrist by the orcs.

And, very nice pic LePetitChoux.

F is for Fell Beast: a name generally given to the winged creatures that the Nazgul rode on after their fall at the Fords of Bruinen.

Gurthang the sword of Turin before it was reforged. I think it means jaws of steel

H is for Halflings, a nickname for all the hobbit folk because of their small stature.

G is for Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld and a later name that Sauron's forces gave to the battering ram which they used for Minas Tirith's gates.

I is for Imladris or Rivendell!

REMEMBER: We are doing people/places/things which have other names. Do not just randomly name off some words. It's always good to check the first post of the set of the alphabet that is currently being listed. That way you can't go wrong.
