Re: Pippin is caught!

Which TWO elves stood beside Gil-Galad during the battle in which Sauron was slain on the slopes of Orodruin at the end of the second Age?

Re: Pippin is caught!

Correct. Considering how little we hear about him, it appears that Cirdan was a major player over three ages.

Re: Fourth Silmaril

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> I´d like to now some opinions about this topic: Feanor first thought of the Silmarils when he saw the hair of Galadriel (which had the color of the mixed light of Laurelin and Telperion) and thought of putting this light inside a crystal (made of silima), the same Gimli said he was going to do with those strands, so: do we have a forth Silmaril? Is it related with the prophecy of Mandos about the return of Morgoth and the end of the world?<hr></blockquote> By Grond.

Re: Fourth Silmaril

I think Grond asked that question, right? Grond, you should move your question into the Books forum. There you will receive lots of comments! It doesn't really fit in here and will disrupt the flow of trivia. <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> Great question though!

Re: Fourth Silmaril

Varda, Yavanna, Nienna.
But is that the order????
I think Yavanna is mentioned before Nienna, isn't she?

Re: Fourth Silmaril

I meant a transitive action.

Re: Fourth Silmaril

Then, if it's a transitive action, I could say they learn the language <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> . Anyway, the answer could be they put on their knees and beg Aulë's (or Eru's, I don't remember quite well) pardon when they saw the hammer?
