Not in Valinor, not an isle, not an afforested area, not Tol Eressea. It did not exist after the First Age, but the time when it ceased to exist was before the breaking of Thangorodrim.

The Nazgul alone cannot withstand a whole army, if that's what you mean. Their power is seriously un-marginal when they lead an army.

Forlong the fat... he was killed in the Battle of the Pellenor, but the name of the soldier of Mordor or Harad that slew him is not specified.

I doubt it, Olorin. They probably wouldn't allow that thread, and certainly there's nothing we can do to 'drive them out of their forum' ('dah-dah-dah dah, dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-da' ...

I'm not sure about the quote, yavanna, but exactly that. By death, Men are free to depart the Universe, within which they cannot be happy for long; the Eldar are doomed to stay with it for eternity....

Correct, Beren. And no, the place wasn't in the Second Age.

Excuse me, though, a little mistake... it was in fact in existence in the First Age. So to recap, it's a place that existed in the First...

That's disputable, Westerly Wizard. In UT Tolkien presents both this idea, and the possibility that she had set her own ban, and does not clarify the matter.

There's one more thing. Did Gandalf's 'enhancement' mean that he was transformed by Eru into a more powerful Ainu, i.e. given power or that strength was unveiled that he already posessed -- but that...

It did not occur during the First Age, was not a city, was not Numenor, and was not on Middle-Earth.

Branda-nin was the original name, meaning 'border-water'; but this was superseded by the more common name (in Hobbitish) Bralda-him, 'heady ale'.

Sauron was very treacherous, Maeglin.

There is heroism all over LotR. The entire point of it, though, is the Ring -- the super-weapon of Middle-Earth. Whichever side used it would wipe out the...
