I recently read an article called "Dragons and Tolkien" and there several others were mentioned including the dragons from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and from Farmer Giles of Ham, and dragons from his earlier works...
Dragons appear in his books as soon as in the Book of the Lost Tales, they are however not named...

I personally was quite surprised to see this question pop up...and since I couldn't think of any dragon I knew I thought it is a metaphor for a ship or a dweller of the Sea. But since no ship I knew could qualify I though of Osse since due to his let's say...temper, he could be associated with a dragon, and would most surely be feared especially by mariners

Yeah I don't know what to say, I'll ask the guy how did the question and let you know. Sooo try this one: What Beleriand escarpment ran 350 miles between Falas and Amon Ereb?

*drum roll*

ANDRAM

I... really? I can see your much more well read than I on this subject. Your go then.

Did you think it was something else or did you just ask a question you did not know the answer of?

The Might · 12-30-2006, 05:47 PM

lol...no matter

new question:

What is the name of the forest located westward of the sources of the Narog ?

btw, the answer you might have been looking for might have been the Long Wall, which is another name for Andram
