J is for Jewels of Feanor...but that's already done.....there isn't anymore under J in the E of A...

J is for Jango Fett...oops wrong genre.

J is for Jail....that Orthanc was for Gandalf an then Saruman.

Or what...sue me !

Why is everyone afraid of N at the name game when J words are such a rarity.

K if for Khazad-dûm,
The dwarvish name of Moria. Built in the first age, by Durin I and his folk, eldest of the fathers of dwarves. Durin the Deathless made of his mansions the greaters of all in ME (of dwarves).

L is for Last (or First) Homely House, one of the names for the Elvish sanctuary of Rivendell and home of Elrond.

M is for Mirkwood, the forest that used to be called Greenwood till it was invaded by giant spiders and such.

N is for Nargothrond,
The fortress built by Finrod Felagund and afterwards destroyed by Glaurung, father of dragons. It was found by the advise of Elu Thingol after Finrod was filled with wonder of the greatness of Menegroth. Finrod got his second name, Felagund, from the dwarves who built Nargothrond with him. It means ' hewer of caves'.

O is for Olorin, another name of Gandalf.

Sorry if that has already been done, I didn't read throught the whole thing.

Arwen Imladris - sorry, but this time we are making an abc of elf/men/dwarf-made structures.

O for Orthanc, the very strong tall black tower in the centre of Isengard, built by the exiled Númenóreans, later "inherited" by Saruman. I know, it was too easy.

P is for Pelennor the Fenced Land surrounding Minas Tirith

Pelennor? It's a piece of land, rather than a structure.

How about:
P is for Phurunargian - The 'true' Westron name for Khazad-dûm or Moria, usually anglicised to 'Dwarrowdelf'.

(Boy, that's a mouthful.)

Q for Queen of the Earth, who is Yavanna.

Oh yeah, hm, structures. I couldn't find any that started w/a Q.

o sorry, i didn't know we were doing structures.. heh heh heh

Q is for Quenya,
it ain't really a structure, but it an elf-made thing.

It's the language of the Noldor.

R is for Rammas Echor - the great wall that surrounded Minas Tirith and enclosed the Pelennor Fields.

S is for Swanhaven- The haven of the Teleri in Aman. Also known as Alqualondë. The Swanhaven took its name from the Elvish preference for carving their ships in the shapes of great swans.

T is for the Tower of Guard, the Minas Tiriths of the 1st and 3rd ages.

U is for Underhaven, Treebeard's house which he built out of the living forest.

V is for Vilya the Ring of Air, or Blue Ring first borne by Gil-galad then Elrond

W is for Wilwarin, a stellar constellation in Arda. The word 'Butterfly' in Quenya.

I can't find a "Y" building. Anyone else come up with anything, or should we write it off like "X"?

I've done some looking on the 'Y', but I can't find anything except Yavanna and Year of Lamentation. Both ain't correct in this abc, so I think it's best to write it off.

The dwarves were very fond of the letter "Z" and probably had many buildings...oh, never mind.

For the next "theme", how about "All Hobbits, All the Time"? You can use a person, place or thing, but it MUST be Hobbit related.

And for new players, maybe we should add a reminder of the theme every once in awhile, so we don't have any more "Hey, that's doesn't count!" tiffs. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

In that case, my feathered friend...

A is for Andwise Roper.

He was Sam's rope-making uncle, also known as Andy. He was the son of Hobson, also known as Roper Gamgee.

B is of course for Bilbo Baggins,
Main character in The Hobbit and finder of the lost One Ring. He gives it (after great presure of Gandalf) to Frodo when he goes to Rivendell. He had it for about 61 years and kept it secret to everyone except Frodo, the dwarves and Gandalf.

For a full description of Bilbo or hobbits, read the first pages of LotR.

Cirith Ungol: the path that Frodo and Sam had to take to get into Mordor. Also where Shelob lived.

D is for Diamond of Long Cleeve - The wife of Thain Peregrin Took I, and mother of Faramir Took I.

E is for Elanor Gamgee, Sam's firstborn and a lass as beautiful as an Elven flower.

F is for Frodo Baggins, the little one who changed the future!

G is for the Gaffer,

Good old neighbour of Bilbo, and later of Frodo. And also the father of Sam. He is the man of the well-known quotes that Sam says in LotR.

H is for the Hay Gate - The North Gate of Buckland, that guarded the Eastmarch of the Shire from travellers on the East Road. It stood at the northern end of the Hedge known as the High Hay.

I is for Isengar Took - a venturesome son of the Old Took, Gerontius. Notable for having gone to sea, which was a little unusual for a hobbit.

J is for jumpers? did hobbits wear jumpers? How else did they keep warm? Sorry, J is hard!

J does seem to be difficult. I'll be happy to stand corrected but in lieu of that...

K is for Kalimac Brandagamba which is the true name of Meriadoc Brandybuck. Tolkien anglicised the name to the latter.

Lake town: the town near the lonley mountain in the Hobbit. Men lived there, next to the lake. Bilbo and the dwarves stopped there on thier way to the lonly mountain.

M is for Maggot the over-protective mushroom farmer who lives in the Marish and helped Frodo and friends escape the Shire.

N is for Neekerbreekers, those annoying little bugs in the Marsh beyond the Emyn Muil.

O is for Old Toby - the most popular variety of pipe-weed in the Shire. It was named after Tobold Hornblower who introduced the practice of smoking pipe-weed to the Shire.

I think they also named a cancer hospital after him.

P is for Pracing Pony,
the inn somewhere in Bree, where the hobbits meat Strider and Barliman Butterbur. Frodo does the silly dance on the table and the Ring is used for the first time on their adventure.
