RANDOM FAC] TS
Sauron didn' t create all the rings, hearst forged the
One, but he provided the elves with the science
necessary to forge the other 19. 16 of them were made
under his supervision. The last 3, the elven rings, were
made by the master craftsman of the elves,
alone, and were by Sauron.
Originally, the rings were made for only the elves, not
for dwarves or men. Sauron took them little after his
plan was discovered (all but tyethree) and gave them
away. Seven to the dwarves and nine to the men.
Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron and the Balrog belong to a
same kind of spirits, the Maiar, beings that were created
before the universe itself.
Jill]
Sauron did have physical form by the tim: f the events
in The Lord of the Rings. Hearst never abandoned his
fortress as he wanted to regain full power before
showing himself.
Unlike in the movie, in the book thejournal of Frodo
doesn' t begin untiled years had passed since the party.
He was 50 years old by the time he left The Shire, the
same age Bilbo had when he began his own journey.
Aragorn is 87 years old by the time ofthe
Ring. He is part ofa bloodline that is gifted with long
life, the Dunedain. By the time of his death he was 210
years old.
In fact, Aragorn wanted to reclaim his right to the
throne from the beginning. It was the only thing that
could assure him the hand .
Amen is 2690 years older than;\ rageon and they met
when he was . Bytheway ofthe Ring she was 2777
years old and 2901 by the time of her death.
Gandalf is much more powerful than he shows. The only
reason he doesn' t use more of his power is because his
mission is to merely be a guide forthe free peoples of
Middle Earth in their battle against Sauron.
A common misconception is to think that Mordor is very
hot. In fact, Mordor is cold. It is even mentioned several
times that Frodo and Sam were shivering in their way to
Mount Doom.
that' s All FOR now. thank you

And Mordor's actually not just a desolate volcanic wasteland. The movies only show the northwestern part of it, most of Mordor is fertile farmland worked by Sauron's slaves. After all, you can't have a massive army of orcs and nothing to feed them with.

A little more on the Maiar, since they're ******* badass;

So, they didn't really exist since "before the universe". In the beginning, there was this one OG named Eru. Eru got kind of lonely so he figured "Hey, I'll just make some ******* gods to keep me company", so he brought 15 beings into existance, called the Valar. These ************* are the ones who actually made stuff, they made the world, and stars, and all those cute animals and **** .
Now, the Maiar are more like Archangels, or Demigods or whatever floats your boat. There were a lot of these ************* , but since they live it up in the land of the gods we hardly see any of them. Each is associated with one of the Valar, so it stands to reason that when Eru made the Valar, the Valar then made the Maiar, and the world and **** .

So, when the Valar were making creation, this one ***** , Melkor was his name, is all like "Hell, i'm going to create evil in this world!" Which is why orcs and goblins are pure evil to their core, and why I stub my toe every morning. Then Melkor goes down to earth and starts ******* everything up, taking territories, riding dragons Did I mention he made the Dragons, and Shelob the spider's mum? , real cool **** . He corrupts Maiar who belong to other Valar, and his own, into the Balrogs. ***** had a whole army of these assholes. And he's got this one Maiar who's his side-bitch, Sauron.
Anyway, after Melkor was defeated by the other Gods, Sauron hid away and then started ******* **** up on his own. The Valar couldn't interfere, because it wasn't a God doing it this time, so they sent 5 Maiar to Middle Earth to fix everything. The white, the grey, the brown, and the two blues.

yo, what's up with galadriel? is she an Isari?
User avatar #181 to #169 - kittywithclaws ONLINE (06/17/2015) [-]
She's old as balls, and has one of the three rings made for the Elves, Nenya the ring of Water. A ring which protects, it kept the forests of Lórien safe and conceiled from the evil of the world

Another belongs to Elrond, Vilya the ring of Air. It was supposedly the most powerful of the three, though no one knows its true power. Some people think it was able to heal and restore.

And Gandalf was gifted the third, Narya the ring of Fire. It had the power to instill hope in others, to rally them and give them courage in the face of danger. Which helps a lot, considering his mission.
User avatar #180 to #169 - ljxjlos (06/17/2015) [-]
Nope. Galadriel is a normal elven woman. Incredibly old and very powerful, tho. She´s actually the grand-daughter of Finwe and half-sister of Féanor. So she´s pretty much directly related to the most important historical characters in the Tolkienverse.

Did something happen to Gandalf after he kicked the balrogs ass in that ex dwarven cave filled with goblins in the first movie?
I didn't quite get the whole Gandalf the white vs Gandalf the grey thing.
#109 to #96 - Defenestro (06/17/2015) [-]
After defeating the Balrog Gandalf had to come back somehow. It's presumed Eru himself brought Gandalf back to life. He's Gandalf the White because the white one was the leader of the order Gandalf belonged to. Formerly that position was held by Sarumon the White. However Sarumon had been taken by the power of the ring and so was banished from his own order. Sarumon went so far as to say he was no longer Sarumon the White, but Sarumon the Many Colored. So essentially Gandalf is Gandalf the White because he's the captain now.
User avatar #158 to #109 - motorwaffle (06/17/2015) [-]
Mostly accurate, but the thing is Gandalf can't truly die. His mortal body wasn't really him, he just had to use it for this task. When a Maiar's body is destroyed he has to go to his respective Valar for a new one (such as when Sauron was destroyed by Beren and Luthien in the first age and had to go to Morgoth as a spirit). When Gandalf died his spirit went back to Valinor and Manwe and his council decided that he needed to go back to take over for Sauruman.
User avatar #185 to #96 - kittywithclaws ONLINE (06/17/2015) [-]
Adding to what other people said, Gandalf's mortal form was killed, and his Maiar spirit was sent back to where the gods all hang out. Since time flows differently for them, he could have been gone for a era

"Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and every day was as long as a life-age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt life in me again. I've been sent back, until my task is complete"

It also explains why he might have difficulty remembering everyone's names when he came back
User avatar #111 to #96 - thefates (06/17/2015) [-]
Gandalf died and had to be sent back again. Except this time (because he had already lost his mortal life) he was only allowed to stay until he finished his task of safeguarding Middle Earth.
#137 to #66 - mattnn (06/17/2015) [-]
The part about him creating the orcs and therefore they are evil to the core is a disputed statement. In Silmarillion the ors are said to be Elves captured in the early ages by Melkor and corrupted and breed into the beings they later become, namely orcs. Heres an excerpt from the wikia on it
User avatar #183 to #137 - kittywithclaws ONLINE (06/17/2015) [-]
Either way, he created evil in the world. If he hadn't done that, the elves wouldn't have been able to be corrupted in the first place, because there would be no evil.
Middle Earth would be actually kind of dull if Melkor hadn't thrown his fit. Everything would be sunshine and rainbows
#68 to #66 - anon (06/17/2015) [-]
Also the Valar sang xD

Just thought that should be in there.
User avatar #145 to #66 - ljxjlos (06/17/2015) [-]
Wrong tho.

All of the Ainur took part in the creation of Arda - not all of the Valar. Ainur includes Valar and Maiar, so Gandalf for example actually took part in the creation of arda. I like to think that he personally thought of Southfarthing and Old Toby.



User avatar #182 to #145 - kittywithclaws ONLINE (06/17/2015) [-]
Ah yes, I forgot about that, been a while since I read up on the ancient history. I should probably fact check a little more next time!
User avatar #70 to #66 - thesovereigngrave (06/17/2015) [-]
I thought Ungoliant was one of those things that we don't actually know where she came from. The only info I can find says that she was simply an ally of Melkor, not one of his creations.
User avatar #71 to #70 - Gandalfthewhite ONLINE (06/17/2015) [-]
the way i understand it she isn't one of his creatures, she even turns on him and tries to eat him. Dick move but she had an insatiable appetite and ended up eating herself in some ******** somewhere
User avatar #77 to #71 - xxhadesflamesxx (06/17/2015) [-]
I always thought she was one of the Maia who entered Middle Earth after it's creation
User avatar #148 to #77 - ljxjlos (06/17/2015) [-]
Ungoliath is, like the "things" under moria, kinda like a lovecraft´sche creature in Tolkiens Universe. Nobody knows where they come from or what they are, but the fact that nothing is known of them makes them even scarier.
#80 to #77 - cheno (06/17/2015) [-]
Nobody knows where she came from...

From the lotr wiki:

"It is said by some that she came from the Darkness itself that lies about Arda"
User avatar #72 to #71 - thesovereigngrave (06/17/2015) [-]
Well I read that he pretty much promised her that she'd get to each whatever she wanted, and then she got suspicious that Melkor was going to go back on his deal and abandon her, so asked to eat something he really didn't want her eating. And she turned on him when he said no.
User avatar #76 to #66 - xxhadesflamesxx (06/17/2015) [-]
Eru made the Maia too and the main difference between them and the Valar is that the Valar are stronger
Also he made more than 15 Valar it's just that they were the strongest Ainur to go to Aman to begin with
#78 to #76 - cheno (06/17/2015) [-]

Pot also means potato. 420 MASH EVERYDAY


Yeah maybe the origin of the word is based in fanatic, but the term fan is used for different thing than fanatic nowadays. Just because screwdriver was meant to screw screws (...) doesnt mean you cant use it to pry open can of paint or stab someone with it in gums.
#5 to #4 - anon (06/16/2015) [-]
it isnt "maybe" it is based in the word fanatic, it isnt just extending the word like pot to potato. Fanatic is someone obsessed. Taking that even out of the equation just saying it as intended "x things every fan *should know*" its still saying that fans should already know.. you're presenting it as something people should already know. Instead try saying "need to know" or "may already know". saying they should know something implies that they arent a fan unless they know this, and if you dont learn it you arent a fan. it sounds like rambling ******** but im overanalizing it because what the **** else am i doing with my life.
#166 to #5 - luminisenc (06/17/2015) [-]
"Maybe." is equal to "Might be."

"It might be that [...], but x still applies." is practically equal to "Even though [...], x still applies."
Both sentences implies conditions, because though and might can be sued to imply conditions.

after reading the heading I had hoped it would be disproving "plot holes" such as "why didn't the eagles just fly them to Mordor" It's explained in the books; long story short -- they're intelligent creatures that get pissy if people ask too much of them, and they didn't want to risk their lives for something they didn't really care about

the only problem i can think of is why they didn't even have horses. They had like 1 to carry ****
User avatar #136 to #73 - ganjalf ONLINE (06/17/2015) [-]
Because
1) Gandalf originally wanted to make the fellowship pass the misty mountains at the Redhorn peak.
Now this is one of the highest mountains of middle-earth, the path is insidious and there is nothing to eat for the horses.
The fellowship wants to be as fast and as invisible as possible, so the lightest the baggage, the better. So bringing food for the horses is out of question too.

2) When the are forced to go through Moria, they abandon the pony, because it would be useless, and in needles danger inside. Sam doesn't like this, because it means leaving him alone with wolves around. The same would go for any horse brought by the fellowship.

That and they would have gone insane with the ring being so close to them. More powerful the being, the greater the effect of the ring
#147 to #94 - Darkrin (06/17/2015) [-]
The eagles would not have helped the Fellowship, not like that at least. Because the only reason the eagles helped in The Hobbit was because Gandalf saved their King when he was shot with an arrow. The eagles weren't exactly the best neighbors when it came to caring about anything that didn't involve them.
Also it would be incredibly stupid to fly into Mordor because the Nazgul would just have to get on their fell-beasts and guard Mount Doom. Could they have gotten the ring past them sure, but it would be way more of a risk than sneaking in and dropping the ring in.
User avatar #152 to #147 - juter (06/17/2015) [-]
This plot involved literally everyone in Middle Earth. What better motivation is there to help out than total ******* annihilation?
#154 to #152 - Darkrin (06/17/2015) [-]
The eagle wouldn't see it that way. Because they see it as problem for people that can't fly. Also they don't like being asked to do things in general. So that is why they only help Gandalf, and even when they help him try to do as little as possible. And flying from the Misty Mountains to Mordor then have a ariel fight with the fell-beasts would be a tonne to them.

"Gandalf is much more powerful than he shows."

Yes and no.

Yes in the sense that he doesn't use as much magic as he could in the fights against the dirt elves and no in the sense that Sarumon ********** him in their fight with ease and in hit white form he wasn't more powerful than Sarororumon just had more resolve.
User avatar #61 to #15 - angelious (06/17/2015) [-]
saruman was jealous about gandalfs wisdom. and gandalf himself was somewhat of an appointed leader of the wizards. it should also be noted that after he became white he became so strong he could have just marched in to mordor and beated saurons army to death by himself

wasnt gandalf supposed to be the white and therefore "leader" of the wizards but didn't want to be because he wanted to sit around smoking pot all the time travel?
i think i remember something like that.

Nope. He was always the grey. But when he was brought back to life, he became the white.

you are right i confused that with the white council. sorry.
User avatar #88 to #15 - thedippestofshits ONLINE (06/17/2015) [-]
The way i actually remember it is that Gandalf was a powerful as **** maiar but had certain limits placed on his power when he traveled to Middle Earth. Limits that got reduced after his fight with the balrog.

Their powers are largely sealed (whether they're capable of undoing the seals themselves or need the Valar to do that isn't quite clear), but if both are unsealed completely, Gandalf trumps Saruman.

Damn you autocorrect!
Where and who are the last two then? Gandalf, Saruman, brownie and who else?
User avatar #63 to #53 - kittywithclaws ONLINE (06/17/2015) [-]
The two blue wizards disappeared into the east. As far as i remember, i think Tolkien made notes about how they went to map out the rest of middle earth and the world. In Shadow of Mordor, they added some loose references to two mysterious magic men, teaching the art of magic to mortals in the far east. However, strictly speaking that's not canon

Alatar and Pallando when they were in Valinor. They were supposed to "help in the east" Tolkien didn't give a clear account before he died, he conflicted and re-wrote
User avatar #55 to #54 - Kairyuka (06/17/2015) [-]
Huh. Imagine if frodo failed and they went to middle earth and found this Orwellian society ruled by Sauron. That'd be fun
User avatar #153 to #55 - ljxjlos (06/17/2015) [-]
They knew about what was going on in the west but thought it´d be better to help in the east - if it wasn´t for them, the eastling-armies that arrived to help Sauron would have been far bigger - big enough to simply overrun Gondor even before Frodo did arrive her.

there´s not much known about them, but that was one of the things that Tolkien did state in a letter.

Can some one gently explain why sauran dies when the ring gets thrown into mordor
User avatar #178 to #175 - ljxjlos (06/17/2015) [-]
He didn´t die - he was just powerless.

When forging the One Ring, he put nearly all of his power into the ring, focusting it and thus getting stronger then he was before - when the ring got lost, he lost the power. When the ring got permantely destroyed it, he lost the power for good.

He is now nothing but a powerless shadow of his own self until the final battle for arda.

Thank you, u have down thumbs cause its broke and I think its funny it got that low

is it true that Sauron had a physical form during the Ring War im pretty sure he did not. care to pitch in tolkienexplain ?
User avatar #195 to #192 - tolkienexplain (06/20/2015) [-]
He had a physical form up until Isildur cut the ring from his hand so, after that point he was a spirit, before that point he had a physical form.

If Saruman really is a god-level entity, how was he killed by a simple stabbing?
User avatar #196 to #188 - ventusvsroxas (06/22/2015) [-]
severe imbalance of magical energy when the ring was severed from his hand? Almost like how if you heat an aluminum can than quickly put it upside down in cold water, it'll collapse in upon itself. In the movie, it does show him basically crumpling up inside his armor...
User avatar #197 to #196 - Tyranitar (06/22/2015) [-]
You're mistaking Sauron and Saruman, good sir. Saruman was the wizard played by the dearly-missed Christopher Lee.
User avatar #198 to #197 - ventusvsroxas (06/22/2015) [-]
well **** . I hate when other people do that, and now I do it myself. Maybe because Ilúvatar had forsaken Saruman when he turned evil, leaving him with minimal powers? Since he obviously still has enough power to beat a gray wizard, but when Gandalf becomes a white wizard, he says that he can't be hurt by regular weapons, which implies that Saruman's power was weakened.
