Read The Hobbit then LOTR. They more or less go together, and were completed by JRRT. Then read the Silm and HoME, which were written by JRRT, but were never fully completed by JRRT. |

Hurin won and lost against Morgoth. He won in the sense he consistently refused to disclose the location of Gondolin, despite everything Morgoth put him through. At the same time he lost, where... |

I usually read The Hobbit and LOTR anywhere from two to four times a year. Read the Silm three times and am working on HOME, in no particular order. |

I think the Balrog would beat a Nazgul (with the possible exception of the Witch-king of Angmar) in a one on one battle. BTW Mallornleaf, yes Balrogs were Maia, so was Sauron, when you stop to... |

I'm not sure if JRRT ever addressed these questions, but I see no reason why Legolas did not participate in the Battle of the Five Armies. Perhaps it was Legolas who ordered the Dwarves capture in... |

Obloquay I believe you mean fill it to the rim with Brimm. Anyhow, only the Leader Of Ringwraith's was unkillable by men (literally). So any of the others were fair game to anyone with the means... |

I would say he was greatly diminished. I don't think anyone using a Palantri had much to fear because he would have been to weak to notice he was being scrutinized. And though not killed, I believe... |

I've alway's felt the staves to be symbolic. Though the Istari could use them to channel energy in focused manner as needed. Which makes them a tool, not an object of power, and therefore easily... |

I suppose a fat elf is possible, but all that frolicking and dancing going on at the feast probably keeps the weight down. Anyone know of an who elf led (or leads) a sedentry lifestyle? [ June... |

The greatest Elf of ME? That's hard. The First Age is full of great elves. I think I'll go with Glorfindel, as he was the only elf to my knowledge which was re-embodied as theirself. Anyone who... |

Hey, galadriel was an old elf also, much older than Elrond who was born near the end of the first age. Does this mean she had a beard and JRRT forgot to mention it? Or seeing as how she's female,... |
