And by the way, did you know that arwen and aragorn are second cousins?

I thought they were 61st cousins...

Hmm, I'm not sure that our system of referring to cousins works so well when one side of the family is immortal and the other is not. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And Rohan was once part of Gondor, but was given to Eorl the young by Beren, who was the steward of gondor at the time.

Erm, that'll be Cirion, Steward of Gondor. Beren gave the keys of Orthanc to Saruman (the deluded fool [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ). A little bit more work needed on revision for your Tolkienology exams, Sillabub. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Well, I may lay myself open to accusations of shameless plugging here, but I have found that participating in the Quiz Room has massively increased my knowledge of Tolkien's works. There's nothing like the challenge of answering a difficult question or having to set a challenging one yourself for making sure those myriad facts stick fast in the old memory banks.
