    The 👑King of all Birds?

    The following passage in Chapter VII, "Queer Lodgings" piqued my curiosity: Can anybody give me the story behind this? What does Tolkien mean by "after days"? What exactly is "King of All Birds"? Is there any background on the "fifteen chieftains"?

    Could the 🦅eagles have dropped the ring into 🌋Mt Doom?

    Why not asking the eagles? Anyone ever wondered why the council of Elrond never considered asking some eagles for dropping the ring into mount doom? Just like this: give the ring to Gwahir (the same outsized bird that helped Gandalf when he was captured at Ortanc), fly over Mordor and SWOOSH...

    The 🦅Eagle Of The 🌟Star

    What happened to Thorongil (The Eagle Of The Star)? He appeared during Ecthelion's reign as Steward of Gondor, and commanded the attack on Umbar, but left soon after. Was he Gandalf in disguise?

    Why did the 🦅Eagles help?

    Why did the eagles help the company going to the lonely mountain? Aren't they given orders by Manwe? So why would he tell them to help in something so insignificant as reclaiming treasure? And why did Gandalf help? He was sent to ME to help fight Sauron. Also, the eagles seem so much...

    🌳Ents and 🦅Eagles, Eruhini?

    Aiya dear friends, i have got a question for all of you. Eagles and Ents, can they be considered Mirröanwi?. The Mirröanwi are considered to be incarnated beings, and they have hroar and fear.Isn´t it? Or do you think that the term Mirröanwi only refers to the Eruhini? Greetings.

    Lord of 🦅Eagles

    Gandalf says Gwaihir had carried him twice when in fact the eagle had done so thrice. Theories?

    Could the 🦅Eagles have flown Frodo into 🌋Mordor

    It has come to my attention that some believe that Eagles could have flown Frodo into Mordor in a lightning speed dash which would be much easier than having to trek the whole way by foot. I must admit this sounded like a hole in the plot for sure when I first read it. Go see the argument at...

    Why didn't the 🦅Eagles take the ring to 🌋Mordor?

    As suggested in another thread, why didn't Gandalf have the eagles carry Frodo to Mt. Doom and just drop the ring in?:confused:
