*sigh* ... well, at least I still have my pants. *checks to make sure* *looks around to make sure the coast is clear of the BoPper* One clue I'll go ahead and give... this captain in question is in the regular story, LotR! Had no idea he was such an august personage though, until stumbling on it, just before posting... (EDIT: no - not the big 'S' either. )Last edited by Valandil : 01-22-2004 at 01:25 AM. |

You're not thinking of Lugbúrz are you? Cuz if so, that's the Tower itself...
It can't be Gothmog either, cuz he is the Lieutenant of Minas Morgul... hmmm....

This actually puts some pieces of the story together. We know why Grishnakh was trusted by Sauron to head up the party of orcs from Mordor that take part in the capture of the hobbits - AND we can see how Grishnakh came to know (maybe - probably - still unbeknownst to Sauron) about the One Ring (prob had some knowledge - maybe detailed knowledge - of Gollum's torture). Your turn! (EDIT: PS, can you solve my riddles? Riddling thread in Middle Earth forum!) (EDIT2: NOW aren't you glad I asked this question? We all got to learn something! )Last edited by Valandil : 01-22-2004 at 10:24 AM. |

 hmmm... Bralda-him - is that the 'actual hobbit' for a 'mathom'? An object that has no use... and that generally makes the rounds from one birthday party to another? |

It means 'heady-ale', doesn't it? I think it refers to the Brandywine.

Er.. it seems that Master Samwise has run off with my copy of ROTK, so I can't look up the Appendices to find a suitably obscure Rohirrim genealogy reference. So, someone else have a go. First come first served. (Apologies) |
