Who is the oldest in Middle Earth?
Now I'm sure this has come up before, but I'm a new member to this message board and I thought it might be fun to at least reintroduce this topic, as I couldn't find it in recent history. I was a member of another board until it started to die, and we had a huge discussion on this, mostly about Tom Bombadil, who is by most standards the oldest in Middle Earth. But was he really? There are so many briefly mentioned characters in Tolkien's works that the possibilities are endless. As Gandalf says: "There are older and fouler things than [Tom Bombadil] in the deep places of the world." =) Ok so he didn't really say that, but just think of the possibilities. You could also debate that Tom Bombadil may not have come from Middle Earth, so who would be the oldest born in Middle Earth? Treebeard? Let me know what you think.
