*whispers* I think the title of Queen of nargothrond may be a give away. Plus the fact that every 5 posts or so she goes in a monologue about all his good traits.

A word of advice, Ruinel. Watch out for her little admin stick. She likes to hit posters with it.

Back to the topic.
Ruinel, I wanted to make a comment on a post you made a while back about gildor being Finrod's son. It could possibly be that he was just in the service of the house of Finarfin, but I have always thought he may be of that line somehow, because he was golden haird

I find it odd that the only blonde-haired Noldor would have to be descendants from Finarfin's house. Didn't Fingolfin have light hair too? I haven't got access to my Silmarillion right now but I always pictured him blonde too.

Fingolfin and Finarfin were brothers, but it appears that Finarfin and his children were the only ones to inherit the golden hair of the Vanyar from Indis.

Then we will both agree that Finrod Felegund is the best Elf written by JRR Tolkien and leave it at that. |

Hmmm, good point. And since all of the Vanyar left ME and never returned. It is safe to say that he was not straight Vanyar. *scratches head* Then why wouldn't he have said..."son of whomever, son of Finrod?" Instead, he uses an identification that doesn't directly connect to Finrod as a direct descendant... "of the House of Finrod," as "in the service of Finrod's family." |

Or, perhaps she was like a lot of other female characters that Tolkien wrote in his stories, meek, mild, obedient, and doesn't speak her mind. I don't know, I haven't read much about her. Only the one line in the Silmarillion. |

I also liked The Lays of Beleriand, HoME 3, much to my surprise. Unfinished Tales is good. My next purchase will be War of the Jewels or Peoples of ME (I think HoME 11 & 12?) I have one of the LoTR HoMEs (The Treason of Isengard, HoME 7), and I did a lot of flipping pages, it just wasn't as interesting to me. I also have BoLT 2 (which is also HoME 2), which I liked because I'm a big Tuor fan, and "The Fall of Gondolin" is in there.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |
