Um, your question is kind of vague, so I'm guessing in the dark, but, maybe, that really long Winter. It had a name, but it just left my brain (sneaky facts- they use the back door and I can't keep track)

No, no, there was a really long winter that hit all of Middle Earth. Gondor suffered really bad, and I think somebody important (like a prince or something) in Rohan died or something.

I think pytt is asking about the Third of the Three Evils. If this helps, the first two were:
1. The Kin-slaying (mid 1400's TA) 2. The Great Plagues (mid 1600's TA) 3. ?? Rosie is correct in that there was a 'Long Winter' distinct from the 'Fell Winter' - and it was that winter when Rohan had unrest and Helm Hammerhand died... but that (and the Fell Winter) were both about 1000 years (give or take) after #3 above. And I don't think either the Long Winter or the Fell Winter had too much direct impact on Gondor.

The War of the Ring? (this whole 'three evils' thing is in the Appendix? )

Not sure what it's called if it has a name, but was it between Angmar and Arthedain?

It didn't have a name - but it's definitely not between Angmar and Arthedain. And I'm looking for the name of the King that ruled in this war, by the way...

Wasn't it just a that gondorish civil war? And the king was Earnil or Earnur whatever (I can never keep them straight). I'm prob. not right, if I am, I won't be back in a while so you can go without me...

No, not in the civil war. The civil were Castamir was alive - he was the reason for the war, wanted to rule Gondor. His supporters fled to Umbar, IIRC. His son(s) too.
I'm looking for his last descendant. He died in a war. Last edited by Radagast The Brown : 11-13-2004 at 05:40 PM. |

Rad - are you sure the war had a name? (I didn't look it up yet, just don't recall a name from memory)

I said it didn't have a name. I wanted the name of the King of Gondor, not the war, that in his days the last descendant of Castamir was killed.
