1 is wrong. It was known for its roses.

BAH! And I thought it would last for at least a day...

Here comes some Entish stuff...

1. Rohirrim had heard of the Ents.
2. Entmoot was held once in a century.
3. Birds were cruel to Bregalad's trees.

I believe Entmoots were not necessarily held once a century.

Thinlómien · 01-06-2009, 12:27 PM

Exactly, that's it.

Take the thread, please. (And my apologies for taking time. I wasn't around because I had an... attention-demanding guest for a week, so to speak.

)

Ah, Sackville-Bagginses came to visit, eh?

Anyways, let me see, a marshy question:

1. The Hobbits of the Marish were predominantly of Stoor descent.
2. The Riders of Rohan could not enter the Fenmarch.
3. Rushock Bog was located along the Water.

1. According to LotR, Prologue:

Quote:

The habit of building farmhouses and barns was said to have begun among the inhabitants of the Marish down by the Brandywine. The Hobbits of that quarter, the Eastfarthing, were rather large and heavy-legged, and they wore dwarf-boots in muddy weather. But they were well known to be Stoors in a large part of their blood [...]

2. LotR V,3, The Muster of Rohan:

Quote:

east and onward rode the Eorlingas
through Folde and Fenmarch and the Firienwood

and:

Quote:

And then on again through the Folde; and through the Fenmarch[...]

3. According to the Shire map, Rushock Bog was located along the Water (where it divides into two arms, north-west of Hobbiton).

So 2 is obviously untrue!
