Beautiful, Angry Hill Troll, I love it.

I am not saying that Tolkien ran out of ideas at all, I'm just looking at the similiar aspects of very different characters and events throughout the history of middle-earth. I'm merely considering reasons for providing characters with these similarities. They're very interesting to look at.

I love the idea of music. It works. Each generation is but a movement in the great symphony of time and life. I've never thought about that before.

Celebrimbor was a good repetition too! I bet there are many more like that that few people have noticed.

Grinning,
Iarwain
