I am new here, but I am a big LOTR fan and have been on a lot of other forums before so don't think of me as a newbie. Anyway, to my question. By the way, I have read fellowship, and am over halfway done with the two towers, but thats all, so don't give away anything. Well remember back when Gandalf fought Durins Bane. Well Durin was the king of Moria that died, correct? well where does a bane come from? Is it a disturbed spirit of some sort. Also there is Isildurs BAne, and I sildur was the person who cut the finger off Sauron, correct again? Well both Durin and Isildur seem like they are not remotely evil. Then why are the Banes against the fellowship (if not everyone). So basically my question is, where do Banes come from, and why are they so pissed. Oh yeah, and what is a balrog? is it just another word for Bane? Thanks.
