Supposedly he put them there to guard the tombs and keep the realm from being retaken (or something like that). But if it's his evil magic alone keeping the wights as undead, then upon his death in the Battle of Minas Tirith, the wights should have all perished.
Hi friends!
I'd like your opinion please on the best way to go about reading the Return of the King.
It's been about 5 years since I've read Fellowship and Two Towers and time has passed so quickly, that as I'm finally ready to read Return of the King, I feel as if I've might have forgotten...
I am curren6ly reading the thesis "Death of the Corn-King" by Barbara L. Talcroft about certain recurring themes in the work of Rosemary Sutcliff. since she is the only writer I know as thoroug ly as Tolkien and both are influenced by norse mythology I am wondering where similarities and...
Hey folks! This is my first post here, and I wanted to jump straight to the chase! :*)
So, the other day, I stumbled upon a website called "Three Rings for the Elven Kings: the World Described by Tolkien is Real!" It contains quite a few bucket-loads of information and assumptions. The first...
A few might appreciate this. It's a terrible (but funny) youtube video about the Return of the King.
Check it out. It's pretty terrible, but so poorly made it's actually kind of funny. These kids made a Spanish project video about the Return of the King...
Know this question has probably been asked before. My question was it ever said waht King was the headless statue at the crosss-roads in ithilien was of ? I suppose it could have been any from the first king Elendil to whatever king was ruling when the Nazgul took ontrol of Minas Ithil around...
From The Two Towers, The Voice of Saruman:
The "mystery" of the rods of the Five Wizards have been discussed before, but now I want to draw attention to a different part of what Saruman said: the crowns of seven kings.
Does anyone have any idea as to which kings he might have referred to...
J. R. R. Tolkien - Letter 140
I now suggest as titles of the Volumes under the over-all title lord of the Rings: Volume I: The Fellowship of the Ring, Volume II: The Two Towers, Volume III: The War of the Ring (or, if you still prefer that: The Return of the King).
The Fellowship of the Ring...
Who killed him?
Is it Eowin or Merry?
In my point of view it's Merry's barrow blade that started the wight's destruction. Being made with the purpose of fighting him it broke the spell that holded him as one whole, Eowin's stroke simply speeded up the process, yet he was already dying.
So what...
this is very important to me. I have been searching a very long time to find the music to the extended edition of the return of the king and i cant find anything. Can someone point me in a direction where i can find some of those songs specfically the little song of when they are in the healing...

Thanks to the proliferation of film, comic-book and cartoon characters, companies are bombarding consumers with an incredible selection of action figures. With tongue in cheek, let's take a peek at some of the specimens worthy of a place in Zad's Toy Vault.

The King Kong Thread
"After the Rings films, anything Peter Jackson does commands respect . His fee for directing this remake about the big ape-about-town was said to be stratospheric. Andy Serkis plays the enormous simian and Naomi Watts is the blonde in his hairy hand. Released December 14."...
In The Return of the King, we read about the crowning of King Elessar in the chapter "The Steward and the King". Aragorn is crowned, and Faramir cries out, 'Behold the King!' We also read:
Did Tolkien write anything concerning Middle-earth taking place after The Return of the King?
I am trying to collect as many information about chronologie etc. and I would like you to help me. First I will start with the Kings of Arnor. What I found so far is this:
Elendil (Ruled for 121 years to 3441 SA)
Isildur (Ruled for 2 years to 2 TA)
