though they really didn't have any strongholds/territory there in the first place....nope!

If you mean southern Mirkwood, I think that in UT it says something about Oropher having to move his people northwards from Amon Lanc ... but I don't have it on me and Oropher is one of those slightly iffy characters who complicate matters by going against what is said in the primary texts...... but I'll have another think..... but I fear that was my best shot....

Wakening of the Balrog, then.

There was a great fire under the trees in Mirkwood.
Battle of Sudden Flame - Duh.
Fall of Gondolin - There was lots of fire and devastation there...
There is no account of any fire when the Balrog awoke.

nope!

Hint: its what they did

Don't feel this is different to my previous go but..... but... the battle under trees because it resulted in a place being cleansed whereas the others led to a place being degraded.....

Gil-Galad · 07-04-2004, 04:34 PM
