Arg. I actually knew that! That's the first time in ages I've known the answer and I missed my chance. Sam is my favourite character!
Valandil could ask a Sam question. *hint* *hint*

OK... kind of a 'Sam question' because his oldest daughter moved there.
A new area westward was annexed into the Shire. From 'where to where' did it extend, and what was it called?  (for 'extra credit' - when did this annexation take place?) |

Undertowers on the Tower Hills. Was this in 1455, or (fourth age 35)?

Oh! I've got it. Great question Valandil.
It is the Westmarch, Emyn Beriad, added to the Shire in 1452. If extends from the Far Downs to the Tower Hills.

Very good Nurvingiel... though the Emyn Beriad is actually the name for the Tower Hills.
 Your go! |

That was a good question. I knew I had read something leading to the answer somewhere, but I had to look it up. (As you can tell from my mistake.)
My question may or may not be related to Samwise Gamgee.Why is Durin called the Deathless?

...because in his linneage another Durin arises who seems to be in all ways like his namesake.

Yes. He'd be so like his forefather that he would be named Durin.
Your turn Cirdan.
