How did Brytta, the 11th King of Rohan, was called by his people, and what was the meaning of his name (by the people)? |

How many Chieftains were there before Aragorn II (that's Elessar for those who don't know )?

Paternal grandfather, Arador - in the Trollfells (fell to a troll, in fact)... his maternal grandfather, Dirhael - we don't know.

close enough... though the reference from the tale of aragorn and arwen gives a slightly different name than "trollfells" (i don't believe trollfells is in the appendix)

it was called the "coldfells" in the appendix... "trollfells" was from gandalf's explanation about evading the nazgul after his confrontation with them... it is never clear whether these refer to the same place, though the probably do
your turn!

We're going on quite a roll with the northern Dunedain,
Being my favorite topic, I won't break the chain: While still a prince, Arvedui married a princess. What was her name and which kingdom was she from? (Is this kind of a Valentine's Weekend question?) |
