Gwaihir the Windlord has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

Actually, I think I'll do the same. May I first state that I am entirely in agreeance with Legolas here.

Your comments about the nature of the Nazgul and whether the Mouth was a braggart are solely based on your opinion and therefore cannot contradict something that Tolkien wrote in LOTR.
Quote:
No, it shows that the Mouth thinks being a spokesman for a godlike entity is of greater worth than being king of a kingdom that he believes is about to be destroyed.
That stood out to me rather painfully, I'm afraid. Tolkien actually 'wrote in LOTR' this:
Quote:
'They would be his servants, and he their tyrant...'
Whether or not this would be the case, the Mouth thought it would be.
