In an appearance at a screening of Fellowship of the Ring at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood last night, Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson...
What causes the death of the witch king?
I've heard that its merry's sword
or the profecy that the witch king can not be killed by any man but is instead killed by a woman
or is it a combination of the two?
From HoME V, The Lost Road. Quenta Silmarillion:
Was it necessary for Maidros to waive his claim to the kingship? I think that perhaps the other Gnomes could have accepted him as king, but would it have made a difference?
I find this hard to believe.
It is true, if there are a number of Kings, but you are named "High King," you are the "King of Kings" so to speak.
But I especially have difficulty believing that Ingwe could have controlled any of the Noldor, and I guess Teleri (but to a lesser extent...
Hi. For those of you who don't know me (probably the majority), I'm LadyDernhelm. I was a member here for a few months last year before my browser started rejecting vBulletin sites. Now, I'm back.

Soundtrack 3-pack (hey, that rhymes)
I have thought about buying the 3-pack soundtrack on http://www.lordoftherings-soundtrack.com/ but I don't know what's on them. On the official lordoftherings.net site it says that it contains the soundtrack of the 3 movies, but on the soundtrack site it...

I don't have them anymore. No more! No longer does there reside in my room a copy of any of the three books of the Lord of the Rings Trillogy.
You gasp! You scream! You say Elgee has abandoned us! Turned from the Light side...
My apologies if this has been answered (I didn't find it doing a quick search.)
Was Peter Jackson in Return of the King? I remember seeing him in Fellowship and Two Towers, but I don't recall seeing him in Return Of The King. It's definitely possible that I missed it, as I've only seen it...
ROTK review!!!
Am I actually the first to post a review of ROTK here (except those lucky guys who got to see it first)? Well here goes:
It was great!!!
Why? For lots of reasons:
-it stuck closer to the book than the other two movies; at least in the second part, the first part had many...

LotR appendix B, Later events concerning the members of the Fellowship of the Ring
Is this an unwise move by King Elessar?
This is an old debate that took place between the Guild of Periaur and the Guild of Ost-in-Edhil. I hope that the rest of the membership will enjoy it as much as...
From The Silmarillion.
Was it correct for King Finwë of the Noldor to remarry for a seemingly selfish reason?
