Ok, I'm new at this, so I might not be very good... Scissors cut hair, hobbits have hair on their feet, Frodo is a hobbit, Frodo carries the Ring, cheap imitations of the Ring are made of plastic,... |

Well, I won't repeat all the benefits that were written, but certainly, Middle Earth did get a big slice of the cake from her coming there. In my mind, the whole Manwe's scheme of getting the Elves... |

Tolkien didn't just write a fantasy book. He created a fantasy world and a whole shiny new mythology for the world. All the characters in the books are EXTREMELY well written, extremely well formed... |

The Books, in my opinion, will last forever, because they're classic and classic never dies. Imagine, when we all live in space colonies (because Earth will go KABOOM one day certainly) they will... |

One thing for sure, I doubt Galadriel could do *magic* tricks like Gandalf. And the Elven Rings were made to preserve, not to destroy. I guess in war she would depend upon her skill and upon her... |

Hail and well met, Ardolon. Have fun being dead smilies/wink.gif. I think that Eldarion and his siblings would have had a longer lifespan than Aragorn's because their mother was still Elven. She... |

Celeborn and Legolas did leave Middle Earth, but there was nothing said about Thranduil (at least I haven't heard). There is a 'Dark Lord' in every age, but it seems our - the Seventh - has had... |

Tolkien is the father of all modern fantasy. All other writers were inspired by him. What makes the Books so great, in my opinion, is that it *could* have been real. smilies/tongue.gif It WAS real ... |

I think it says she took part in the first Kinslaying, though I'm not sure. If she did, it's obvious she could wield a sword and protect herself. I doubt thousands of years of *relatively* peaceful... |

Yeah, I think he was trying to surpass Feanor. But Feanor never listened to anybody smilies/wink.gif. Which is both a good and a bad thing. I don't think Celebrimbor could have resisted Sauron. I... |

Great ideas, those. The High Elves, in my opinion, were VERY changeaphobic. I do believe that the Valar can be blamed for that. Imagine, living in a place where nothing ever changes, and then someone... |

I fully agree with you, Morwen. Hobbits aren't resented, like someone here wrote, but neither are they taken fully seriously (unless they carry a Ring of Power smilies/wink.gif). Wood Elves are... |

Personally, I don't think Aredhel's and Eol's marriage could be considered 'unhappy'. Like Morwen said, Aredhel married him willingly and was happy for many years. Even Turin's and Nienor's... |

Hehe, that seems to be as good an explanation as any other. I've always wondered why exactly hobbits are a sub-race of men. Did they de-evolve or something? Maybe they were created by a Vala, just... |
