Sting The Hobbit characters' doings during The War Of The Ring?

Does anyone know what was happening in Northern Mirkwood during The War?

Not really referring to the Dwarves as they were most likely completely idle (Gimli's presence being their only...

Mattius, just a minor thing which kind of irks me, Ian Holm has been knighted too. People always seem to overlook it in the cast lists, and I feel sorry for the guy sometimes.

And I think Viggo's...

Not totally related, but not worth starting a thread for:

I don't think we're suppose to read too much into the Grandad fighting scenes, and the magical connotations behind it.<BR>I think PJ probably just wanted another fight scene, and it was for humour if...

Sting Cirdan questions

I feel like I've only been here a few days and am already starting too many topics, oh well.

I've always found Cirdan a very mysterious character. I haven't read many HoME and haven't read the Sil...

I wasn't sure if it was and I don't like to be confrontational, and thought it could be irony, but these things are often misrepresented through the net, so that you can't get them. Well I didn't...

It is a giant squid.
There's a very famous poem entitled The Kraken, and Tolkien probably took inspirtation from that. Other than that, it's a sort of 'bogey-man' child's monster that they use in...

Thanks.

How much do we know about Saruman's ring and its power? What was it called and when did he forge it, and are there any specific examples of his usage of it?

In a silly way, I always pictured Old Man Willow as one of those evil apples trees in the Wizard of Oz. But then when I got to TTT, I thought of the Ents as those, only nicer.

Sting Faramir and Eowyn: Was Tolkien just pairing off?

Sting Legolas and the Balrog
