We even had an … Continue reading QOTW: The Siege of Annúminas

It took me nearly fourteen days from Weathertop, for I could not ride among the rocks of the troll-fells, and Shadowfax departed. I sent him back to his master; but a great friendship … Continue reading QOTW: Across the Ettenmoors

They can tunnel and mine as well as any but the most skilled dwarves, when they take the trouble, though they are usually untidy and dirty.
