[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm stumped on that one Finwe. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And regarding the Professor's quote, it seems quite vague. The Ring wouldn't affect the Dwarves 'life' in the way that it wouldn't affect them 'physically' (take the simple meaning of the word 'physically' here) However, the Ring did affect the Dwarves wills and desires, and this can be acounted among their lives surely?

As has been discussed on other threads (and this discussion has come round quite a long way!) Gimli would probably have given in to the temptation of the Ring more quickly than Frodo did.
