Bombadil is regarded as an outsider by The Council, DARKROSE.

Here's one

Turin Turumbar, Tuor's cousin, would be Arwen's great grand uncle(once removed). Tuor is her great grand dad.
Tuor - Earendil - Elrond - Arwen.

The parts where Pippin is riding on Shadowfax with Gandalf; I think it's in TTT. Very vivid. Expressions like: in the darkling, the westering moon, etc.

Silmaril Elves and Hobbits

Beautiful part at the end where the Hobbits, on their way to the ship, meet the Elves coming through the woods at night under the Moon with the Elves singing. That's worth reading the entire Trilogy...

Well, about Arwen's pendant, that is really a really important thing in the whole story. And I think in the movies they really ignored that. It's Aragorn's Name and plus it belonged to Galadriel. It...
