Have no fear!
Daegwenn is here! [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img] *hangs head* Oh man, that was really corny. Well, anyways, I got an answer for what the Barrow-downs was in the book...it goes like this: The downlands, east of the Shire and the Old forest were called the Barrow Downs because of the great barrow graves built in that place. It was the ancient burial grounds of the men of middle earth. The witch King of Agmar took refuge in them during the war. The Barrows became haunted by demons that were sent out from the kingdom of the Witch-King... The Barrow-Wights are demons whose bodies had been destroyed, looked for others to inhabit, but desperatly found a refuge from the sun in the Barrow-downs... There is a big, long-winded explanation on what they are but the KISS rule came into affect, and I am quite sure you would have been bored out of your skulls reading it...^_^ Anyways, I am gonna scram now. Hope it was at least some help. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ~~Daegwenn

Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard. And he taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred. He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter, Bess, the landlord’s daughter, Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair" Highwayman Alfred Noyes |
