Correct, Curubethion! You slightly misspelled it, though; it's "Sammath Naur".

Oh well. I was spelling it from memory.

Ok...I've been offline for a little bit (sorry ). You don't have the answer yet...the Army of the Dead didn't go to the Pelennor Fields (we're going by the books, not the movies-gotcha! )

When first unfurled at the Stone, it was black and if there was any device upon it, it was hidden in the darkness.

When; what were the circumstances; did Pippin notice Gandalf was afraid?

When Faramir reported that Frodo and Sam had gone to the pass above Cirith Ungol. In fact, he almost had a heart attack, for real.

Oh, great. You know me, I'm not going to be online to tell people if they've got it right or wrong! Ah, well, answer this one real fast, then, eh? Um... let me think up one...

What were Pippin and Merry doing after they left the Grey Havens?

Don't worry Rosie, check back within 72 hrs. and see if the answer has been correctly posted. That's the limit we wait for the original poster to confirm or deny. Be well.

Oh, they might have been that, I suppose... But, now, that's not the answer I'm looking for. (I think I misplaced it somewheres.. the answer, I mean.. Got to go find it...)

I know, I know... That's the problem; I won't be here in 72 hrs. The aliens are coming for me in 69!!!
