What is your favourtie place, person and word!!!
I love every single aspect of Tolkien's LOTR, My favourtie place would have to be Rivendell. I love elves and the way they live and their culture, My favourite person/elf/dawf/hobbit ect... would have to be Arwin or Legolas, I love the way Arwin moves, she is so graceful, I also like the way that she gave up immortality to be with her love Aragorn, that is so sweet, I like legolas because he is so calm, even on the brink of a battle he stands his ground cooly and he has such great accuracy! He can fire an arrow and hit almost enything!!! My favourite word is a much easier choice, my favourite word is Entmoot! it is such a cool word!

Legolas: this is a good horse! Gimli: lets take it and get out of here, it smells terrible!!! Legolas: Ok, now to put my luggage on... (Legolas puts 10 full backs on the back of the horse) Gimli: where am I going to fit! Aragorn said only to take important stuff! Legolas: But this stuff is important, These three bags have my manicure things, and these five bags have things for my hair, and these one and a half bags have my perfume and the last half a bag has my food! Gimli: Elves. |

place: Nargothrond (Himring's pretty neat too, though... I just realised it survived the destruction of Beleriand and have been in a good mood all day... )
character: Finrod (Maedhros and Maglor in a distant second and third...) word: um... anything in Quenya, I suppose. BTW, Ezora, you spelt "Arwen" wrong. Just remember it's spelt with the e, quite a few feminine Elvish names end like that... Arwen, Earwen, Nerwen... (Lalwen and Rodwen since I can't think of any more famous ones at the moment). It means "maiden".

My fave place has to be Bree because it is a realy country place and the folk are suspicious in a funny way. I think Aragorn is amazing because he has a a nasty history but will still look out for his friends.

well my favorite place would have to be Lothlorien, its such a peaceful place with all the Mallorn trees growing and whatnot. My favorite character would be Aragorn, just because he's a real togh guy and awesome with a sword.

My favorite character is Tuor, and especially in contrast with his cousin, Turin. He seems to be much more courteous and wise, and also listens to his fate, and does pretty darn well for himself in the end. Also, imagining him in the armor he finds in the hall by the sea....that's a majestic moment.
The shire is a cool place, but I wonder what the land was like where the Stoors lived. Favorite word: Oliphant. Try going to the zoo, and saying,"The Oliphants these days just aren't as impressive as they used to be." Another cool guy is Ulmo, cause he controls the seas. |

Taniquetil! the mountain of the eagles, and my true self. Pytt is just an aka for Thorondor, and since I am very smart, Ingoldo, but that is just a formal title, I almost never use it.
Fav character have to be Thorondor. strange. If you need to have a human being, I have to say Turgon. word, I don't really know.

I've changed my mind.
Favourite place: Alqualonde *shrugs* Nargothrond's got great leadership, but the people are a bunch of traitors.

Place: Lothlorien, Doriath, or Gondolin
Person: I probably like Aragorn the best (or Beleg... because... he's great), but my favorite is actually probably Maeglin. He's just fascinating, for some reason. Word: Lalaith. So flowing.

Place: Ithilien.
Person: Faramir. Or maybe Daeron - I always felt bad for him. My favorite lines of the Lay of Lethian are: In sunshine and in sheen of moon with silken robe and silver shoon the daughter of the deathless queen now danced on the undying green half elven fair and half divine and when the stars begin to shine unseen but near a piping woke in the branches of an oak or seated on the beech leaves brown Daeron the dark with ferny crown played with bewildering wizard's art music for the breaking of the heart (sorry if the wording's off, I went from memory.)
