Talk about trivia, heh.
If memory serves, he was Lord of Lamedon, one of the fiefs of Gondor, He brought with him men from said land to aid in the defense of Minas Tirith.

Good question, Glorfindel :} That no one got it means we all should be rereading LotR to refresh our memories :}
What was the name of Theoden's sword?

Thanks, Eonwe. What race, station, and general age was the un-named person that Bilbo's and Frodo's mithril coat was originally made for? (General age means baby, young person, full adult.) |

All it says is "young" for the age, correct. Your turn!

Since it's been so long since dirhavel posted a question, would someone care to revive this thread with one?

Absolutely:

As I remember, it was rebuilt and back in business by the time of the War of the Ring.

Aye it was. I was looking for something along the lines of it being rebuilt away from the dragon's corpse, but as I can't find it in the books myself at the moment, I won't insist upon it Perhaps it's just a fancy of mine. |

I guess it's my turn, then:
What were the main writing systems used in Middle Earth. What was their origin, and whose name was associated with each.
Extra credit: there was an additional writing system in Elvish history, though not used in Middle Earth. What was it, and who invented it?

That's a tough one. I have to ask, though, is the answer found in the lotr? I would imagine it would be in the appendices if so, but I'm not allowed to look (in this thread).
The only writing systems I can come up with off the top of my head are the Tengwar and the Cirth.
