I misremember how the Thorin we know got his epithet in the books. Oakenshield, however, or Eikenskjaldi, is one of the names in the Elder Edda where all the other Dwarf-names are listed (not to mention Gandalf).Quote:

Gandalf i think. If i am right i defer my right to ask a question to someone.
No question up? Ok, I'll ask one.

This is easy...what was the name of Turin's lame friend and servant from childhood?(If I remember correctly there are two)
Sador One-Foot. Personally, if I only had one foot I wouldn't need my last name to remind me of it, but to each his own ;)Quote:

It certainly was. Since you chose not to ask a question I'll go ahead and ask another.

Easy Question:Where did Pale-Folk come from?
I'm pretty sure the Pale Folk weren't part of the original writings, so I had to look around the internet for an answer to this one. According to LotRO vault:
As the realm of Angmar grew in power under the Lord of the Nazgûl, he commanded that a great citadel be built as the capital of his kingdom. Thus many Angmarim and Hill-men out of Rhudaur were pressed into service to build the city of Carn Dûm, nestled in the Mountains of Angmar. They were taken from their homes, and foul meats and the vile waters of Sereg Argûl became their sole sustenance. Shrunken and twisted by the cruel scourges of their Orcish taskmasters and by the scarce and tainted provender granted them, the slaves gradually fell beneath the shadow of Angmar.
The Nimwaith, or Pale-folk, as the descendants of the slaves became known, act as the primary labor caste of Carn Dûm. These small, pale-skinned creatures are weaker than ordinary Men, but their numbers are great, bred and maintained in the caves beneath the ancient fortress of the Witch-king.
So, they originated as hill-men in Rhudaur.
How many orcs did the oathbreakers kill for Aragorn?
None. It was all corsairs at Pelargir.
How long did the Grey Company take to pass through the paths of the Dead?
4days or 5 if you count how long it took them to get to Pelargir.
According to the Music of Aniur, what substance was the most prized and wondered at in all creation?
To previous answer: Actually I meant just the journey underground, which I could swear was only 1 day (they left at sunrise, and Gimli noted that it was only dusk when they got out).
Water? It's been a while since I read Ainulindale.
Maedhros was somewhat maimed when he was rescued. What happened to him when Fingon and Thorondor showed up?
His hand was cut off.
What was the last thing Gandalf said before Bilbo and the Dwarves entered the Mirkwood?
I'm going to take a guess and say "Don't get off the road!" or something to that effect?
Was it Gandalf reminding the Dwarves to set loose for return Beorn's ponies when they seemed reluctant to do so earlier?Quote:

I do own a copy, but that doesn't mean I have the thing memorized....
Well have you memorized where you keep the book in your house? Get off your lazy butt and look it up! :p
But that's an entire arm length away. You don't actually expect me to be sorta quasi-active, do you?
