I did not look it up. I pulled it right outta the ol' memory banks. I've been reading the Appendices for a long time. I initially put just plain "Thrain", but at the last moment I heard warning bells in my head and added the II. So in that sense Radagast is correct. I was merely more specific. Still, I will ask the next question since the author of the last one has deferred to me.
What year (Shire Reckoning) saw the "wonderful summer and famous harvest? |

1420 S.R.
And the answer to mine... some would think it's: "I love you!" The cynic (or jokester) in me says it's: "You were right!" |

OK... back in the saddle!
Geography for 200: Remember the Fell Winter? The following spring, a certain city was ruined by the resulting floods and subsequently abandoned. Name that city. |

Dang, I know that one. It is the city near the ford of Tharbad. I'm gonna have to look it up. It was a Numenorian city, one of the earliest of their settlements in ME.
