Sorry I have been pretty slow recently, it´s not because I lost interest, but time and internet access...

Frodo once had a vision of Sam which irritated him. What did he see?

Well, he probably did not see that I´m off. See "More trivia".

Sam appeared to Frodo as an orc when he first snatched the Ring back from him in the Tower of Cirith Ungol.

Hit us with another one, Ron. Looks like the Lazy Old Man has withdrawn back to Isenguard.

He didn't recognize Merry who was wearing mail and who was (anyway) thought to be dead in the Old Forest.

Aragorn re-established Annuminas as the capital of Arnor early in the Fourth Age. Annuminas lay on the shores of Lake Evendim, otherwise known as Nenuial.

In the time of Argeleb II, what entered Eriador from the southeast and ravaged Cardolan?

I don't recall that the particular strain was identified but yes, hobbits. I mean plague. Ask us!

Mablung, the scout from Faramir's Ithilien Rangers? The last thing that I can remember about him was that he successfully ambushed some orcs and easterlings as the Captains of the West marched to the Morannon. Does anybody know how he died?

You mean the one cut down by dwarves defending the treasury of the thousand caves? Damned ancient history!

In LoTR, Aragorn is crowned by Gandalf with something that looks very much like an ordinary war-helm of Gondor. This, however, was not always what the the Kings of the South-Kingdom wore. What were the origins of the first crown of Gondor, and why wasn't the headgear of Anárion used?

If i remember correctly, the crown was said to have been the plain, unadorned helm worn by Isildur at the battle of Dagorlad. Anarion`s helm was crushed by the stone cast from the Barad-dur which killed him. The first crown was replaced by a more ornate design during the reign of Atanatar Alcarin.
