Gamgee @ 23:23 PST

Hello all, Gamgee here! Sadly, I must announce, real life will keep me plenty busy this week, and I just won't have time to do the Tolkien fun section this week. Do not worry, I will be back in full swing this Saturday! Hope to see you here!... Gamgee

Tookish @ 22:21 PST

Hullo Ringer fans!

The Hall of Fire, our weekly chat on a specific Tolkien topic, is warmed and ready for Saturday, March 18. This weekend's topic, straight from the Wizard himself:

What story in Middle-earth would you like to know more about? Where do hobbits come from? What is the origin of pipeweed? The nature of the elves? Where do dwarves go when they die? What happened to the Silmarils?

Come one, come all to share these and other Legends of Middle-earth! The time is 5:30 EST, and we hope to see you there!!

Gamgee here! Well, it is another fine day in Middle Earth, and I have had a possible mistake brought to my attention. It seems Hama is not the correct answer to yesterday's question, as I and many others thought, after rereading the text, I see that it is an unnamed guard, guarding the outer-wall of Rohan. So kudos to the people that called me on that one... Good eye!
Nazfyratu was again our winner yesterday, Good Job Naz! The answers were 1)Sulimo 2)Bagshot Row 3)Gimli
Here are today's questions:
1)"In Bilbo's will, to whom did he leave a bookcase?"
2)"idulmeon" (scrambled Tolkien name)
3) "Many leagues, but not to the ends of the Earth. I was sent to bear tidings, not burdens." (Who said this?)
