lindil has just left Hobbiton.

I must say, trying to recall it from memory threw me for a loop, I was thinking for a moment that Frodo's sword was indeed destroyed at Weathertop. I mentioned earlier, that the inital confusion of the question was probaly caused by the conflating of melting swords/knives ad I imagine this simple mistake probably led to the confusion.


Merry's melts at Pellenor Feiolds and the witch Kings at Amon Sul.

And hey, JRRT though a perfectionist, totally botched the chronology of the comparitive journeys from Trollfells to Rivendell between the Hobbit and FotR.

I forget the exact discrepancy but I thinkit is 6 days or something according to the 'Atlas'. So he did make a few mistakes! [well ok at least 1 [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ]
