Indeed, I looked it up. It's Tarlang's neck, so the fella was Tarlang the Giant.

And I may add that especially this was very mean from you, because poor Finduilas (and who knows how many others) may have racked her brain while trying to find the information in any source EXCEPT FOR HoME, about which you explicitely said that it cannot be used as a source... oh well...

Of course

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-18-2007, 03:48 PM

Okay, something simple for a change.

Can you name me a hobbit guerilla leader? (and no, I don't want to hear about Merry or Pippin here)

P.S. TM, you have a riddle to post in First Age Trivia about a month

OK I really cannot remember, but was Pippin's father Paladin not Thain at the time and leading some sort of resistance with the other Tooks.

Fredegar 'Fatty' Bolger (not so fat after he was freed from the 'Lockholes').

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-19-2007, 06:23 AM

Yup, it was the well-known Robin Hood-like figure, Fatty Bolger, who I was looking for. Rune, you are also right about the Tooks, but Fatty was explicitely mentioned in the connection with a "rebel band".

Dark Elf, please continue the thread.

Name another king besides Gil-Galad and Elendil that died in the War of the Last Alliance.
