Legolas didn't have a mother; he sprang up out of the ground, like an Orc (but the similarities end there. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

What are the three Rings for the Elven Kings for?

gdchalmers 02-03-2003 01:30 PM

They represent an institution akin to marriage, but far less nonsensical - Cirdan passing his Ring to Gandalf was as a token of fraternal love and respect. After their divorce, however, neither had to give up half his earnings or wealth to appease the lazy half of their union.

Gandalf. Tolkien neglected to translate that part of the Red Book, in which they tell what form the "wisest of the Maiar" traditionally took. He would weep duck tears with Nienna, and then quack himself to sleep at night.

Dondagnirion 02-05-2003 11:16 AM

He turned crazy because Eru forced him to listen to the music sung by the Valar and Maiar at the beginning of the world over and over and over and over and over and over.

Why do dwarf women have beards?

Eomer of the Rohirrim 02-06-2003 11:39 AM

Eomer of the Rohirrim 02-07-2003 07:03 AM

Five. They have deceptively short lives.

Diamond18 02-07-2003 12:06 PM

They didn't, it was the Oliphaunts who tamed the Southrons.

Why did Thingol disapprove of Beren as a husband for Lśthien?

hobbitlass 02-07-2003 04:41 PM

His earning potential was VERY limited. Not to mention the those earings and that haircut and the rumors.

What attracted Luthien to Beren?

Iarwain 02-07-2003 04:50 PM

She was an outright rebellious child and had dreams of going to Hon-A-Lee so she could be with Puff and little Jackie Paper. Beren knew the way there. Plus they were both hippies.
