Tom Bombadil and the Blessed Relm Would Tom Bombadil be allowed to go to Aman in the west? Afterall, he was a ring-bearer like Frodo, Sam, and Bilbo. Although, he only wore it for a short moment. I doubt he would care about going to the Blessed Relm, but would he be allowed to go.

Hi everyone, I just found this site and I was looking around the Forum when I noticed people talking about Tom Bombadil. I think a few people misunderstand this strange and almost out of place character in Tolkiens Epic. Weather you believe it or not he was the most powerful being on Middle...

The most likely thing to happen would be that life in Middle Earth went on for a while longer. Tom would most likely discard the ring among other stuff and eventually someone would find it who wasnt supposed to proabaly a creature from the old forest and then the war of the ring would happen but...

Tom Bombadill Information Hi there... new kid on the block. I wanted to get some more information on Tom Bombadill's origins and adventures. I've been told the Silmarillion is the best source for that, but I've since learned there actually is a book called the Adventures of Tom Bombadill...

First of all may I express my enormous dissapointment of Tom Bombadil not appearing in the film :( . Secondly, I believe that since Tom keeps singing and rhyming all the time he quite possibly is Iluvatar's song incorporated within a single body (or Iluvatar himself?!). After all, he says...

:D :D :D I have a theory on Tom that I have been meaning to post for quite a while. Now I know that Tolkien never wrote this down anywhere but I believe that this could be a definite possibility. Some people think that Tom is a Maia. But he wasn't influenced by the ring whereas all Maia were...

Ok, Gollum, Bilbo, Frodo and Sam were all Ringbearers becuase they wore the ring. Tom Bombadil also wore the ring, but it had no affect on him, so would you classify him as a ringbearer? Your thoughts...

Who or what is Beorn? I think it says in The Hobbit that he's a 'shape changer', but who actually is he, and who are the Beornings? ~Kit :confused:

I want to know everyone's opinion, cause to me, this is probably the most interesting item in all of JRRT's works.

I wonder how old Tom Bombadil are, he is he, The Silmarillron dont mention him at all, pretty strange if you have read Tom Bomadils own general "discription" on himself. He should be older then the ents and the world itself.

Just a bit of a question, which i think may lead to a long discussion, but i hope it'll work. here goes! Tom Bombadil, The dark spider, Unogliant, the void, the creator. how were they made? where did they come from? what power does Tom Bombadil have? what of his wife? (her name escapes me...

Tom Bombadil Tolkien never said exactly who it was but he gave a few hints, and that has caused many theories on what he is.. So, what do you think he is? This thread is now merged with 'What Was Tom Bombadil' originally in The History of Middle-Earth section Ancalagon. This thread is now...
