And you must keep your ring of invisibility on around here, huh? Never on, always posting...
Say... noticed that the Elendilmir is called "The Star of Elendil" in App. A - and it does say Aragorn gave Sam "The Star of the Dunedain" in App. B... maybe they WERE two different things...? Note also in the RotK chapter "Passing of the Grey Company"(all rise please): 'A little apart the Rangers sat,... ...nor did (they) bear any badge or token, save only that each cloak was pinned upon the left shoulder by a brooch of silver shaped like a rayed star. So... I still think THAT could be the SotD, rather than the Elendilmir being the SotD... Anyway - guess I owe a question in addition to all the remarks: Who was the first Chieftain of the Dunedain? |

What is the supposed source for the section on Durin's Folk?
editors note: Have a nice holiday Valandil. Why not post a guess for the "heart of one thousand faces" riddle before you go? Last edited by Keith K : 11-25-2003 at 08:50 PM. |

I have no idea. But just for fun I will guess the Book of Mazarbul.

As for Keith's question, I know that there was much said of the Dwarves through both the Eldar and the Dwarves themselves, but I think a large portion of it comes from the Red Book...?

Perhaps much of the original source material found its way into the Red Book, but that is another discussion. The appendix specifically lists the source and it is not the Red Book or the Mazarbul book.

Gimli is right! It is stated in the very first opening paragraph of the appendices. Nicely done Earniel!

Thanks. Wait, is it my turn now to ask a question? If so, I'll have to pass up this occasion, I don't have my books here. Anyone else can have a go.
