Oath of Feanor

The Oath of Feanor is when the Silmarils get stolen, Feanor swears that he will get them back. He leads his people through a lot of dangers, including an icy pass. A lot if his people die. He ends fighting a battle, and gets mortally wounded. He then passes the oath onto his sons' heads. They spend the rest of the book in a long war, recover the Silmarils, and then the Silmarils drive them mad. Maedhros kills himself and his brother throws one in the sea.

Shelob

In The Return of the King movie, Sam and Frodo part before Shelob's Lair.

In the book, The Two Towers (not in The Return of the King), Sam and Frodo stick together the entire time. They only get split up in Shelob's Lair when Gollum jumps on Sam. That is how Frodo gets wounded by Shelob. Sam fights Gollum off, and then goes and wounds Shelob, then runs when he hears the orcs.

Smaug

Thank you for posting.
I wouldn't mind a link on my blog at all.

In The Hobbit, Smaug, the dragon in the Lonely Mountain, Has a conversation with Bilbo. He has a couple of conversations, and doesn't even care if Bilbo takes his gold. But after talking for a while, Smaug finds out information from Bilbo. He actually gets mad and tries to kill him. Bilbo gets away, back to the dwarves, and they hide. Smaug, in his rage, attacks the lakemen. Their leader is told by a thresh, that Smaug has a weakspot. And he kills Smaug.

Conquest

Felegund (My cousin) allowed me to come on board with this blog. First off here is my personal blog, and for those who fallow my blog, I'll try to make a link on the side for this blog. Anyways back to Lord of the Rings. As was poster earlier The Hobbit movie is being worked on. There are two films coming out. As far as I know the first one is the story of the Hobbit, and the second one bridges the gap between the Hobbit and Fellowship. If that is the case we hope it is quite good to justify this diversion from Tolkien’s cannon. Here are the IMDB links for The Hobbit and the second film as well. We will wait and see. Enjoy.

Gil-Galad

Gil-Galad is an elven king (Gondolin) who is briefly in the first movie. He is an elven king and warrior who is sung about, but only remembered in the songs. Like a lot of Elven kings, his is a sad story. After his death, the important elves are Galadriel and Elrond.

Rumors

The Hobbit (movie) is scheduled to come out in 2012. They only have a couple of rumored actors. Andy Serkus (Gollum) and Ian McKellen (Gandalf).

Of Gondolin

Gondolin is a hidden city in the mountains, near the Pass of Anach and Dorthonion. It is just above Beleriand (the main country in The Silmarillion). Towards the end of Morgoth's reign, it is discovered, and Morgoth attacks and destroys the city. Tuor, a man, goes to Gondolin during the fall and saves as many of the people as he can. So Gondolin, though a magnificent city, the story ends in a sad way, which is the end of one of the most magnificent cities in the history of Middle Earth.
