Umbardacil, The title taken by King Telumehtar: In the early years of Telumehtar's reign over Gondor, his country's coasts were still prey to assaults from the Corsairs of Umbar, under the command of the descendants of Castamir. Telumehtar resolved to put an end to these attacks, and in III 1810 marshalled an assault of his own. In a great victory, the Corsairs were driven out of Umbar, which was captured for Gondor, and Telumehtar added the title Umbardacil, 'Victor over Umbar', to his name. Umbar was held by Gondor throughout Telumehtar's reign, but was lost soon after his death.

Walda, The twelfth King of Rohan: The son and heir of Brytta Léofa. During his father's reign, Rohan had suffered warfare with Orcs that had descended from the North, and attempted to settle in the White Mountains. By the time Walda came to the throne, it was thought that the land was free of Orcs, but in the ninth year of his reign, Walda was slain by them near Dunharrow. He was succeeded by his son Folca, who avenged his father's death.

Z will also be a hard one. What do you say we pick another topic?

Tinuviel the Nightingale 05-15-2003 05:30 PM

Could be a good idea, as I am fresh out of ideas for Z. What topic could we do, it seems like we've done every topic!

Arwen Imladris 05-16-2003 12:44 PM

Meh, we can do some of them over again. How about weapons?

Aiglos (Aeglos), The Spear of Gil-galad: The spear of Gil-galad, carried by him to the War of the Last Alliance. Its name is translated 'snow-point'.

elven maiden Earwen 05-16-2003 07:23 PM

Crebain, Black crows out of the southern Misty Mountains: Large black birds of crow-kind, native to the lands that bordered the southern Misty Mountains, Dunland to the west and Fangorn to the east. They seemed to possess at least some level of intelligence, and were apparently used as spies by Saruman during the War of the Ring.

Sorry, couldn't think of anything better. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Isildur’s Bane, Betrayer of the second Ring-bearer: A name for the One Ring. After Sauron's defeat in the War of the Last Alliance, Isildur Elendil's son took the Ring, and later journeyed northward with it to his kingdom of Arnor. Ambushed by Orcs, Isildur's small force was cut down, and he fled the battle wearing the Ring. It slipped from his finger, though, and so both Isildur and the Ring were lost.
