1.3
Originally named Aglarond, this was, along with
Angrenost (Isengard), one of two Gondorian strongholds
built to guard the Fords of Isen and it was the larger of
the two.
A long causeway wound up to the great gate of the
fortress itself. Inside the keep there were stables and an
armory, as well as a great hall in the rear which was dug
out of the mountainside.
There also was a great tower, the top of which had the
great horn.
How do we know this fortress?

1.4
The ______ __ ____ is the name given to the volcanic
fissure in Mount Doom, where Frodo Baggins had to
throw the One Ring into to be destroyed. X was the
only place in Middle-earth where the One Ring could be
destroyed.
It is described in The Return of the King as a great
fissure that split a long tunnel that bored into Mount
Doom. From X, a red light, presumably from lava, is
emitted.
The red glow is the only light in the cavern, as even the
Phial is dimmed by the power of Sauron in the heart of
his realm.

1.5
Described as "The Last Homely House East of the Sea"
this peaceful, sheltered town was located at the edge of
a narrow gorge of the river Bruinen but well hidden in
the moorlands and foothills of the Misty Mountains.
The Hall of Fire, had a fire in it year-round with carven
pillars on either side of the hearth; it was used for
singing and storytelling on high days, but stood empty
otherwise, and people would come there alone to think
and ponder.
It is known as a place of peace and learning, not a
stronghold of battle.

So much so they have written multiple songs about

One of my favourite’s is ‘Am I Dreaming’ which was
never released but only performed live.
And the latest ‘Tears of the Wizard’ which was even
shot in LOTR style in beautiful Mechuka valley in
Arunachal Pradesh.
Which brilliant band is this?

Dedicated to the memory of Sonam Sherpa,

In The Fellowship of the Ring, you can catch X in the town of
Bree, as he strolls past the camera munching on a carrot. In
this first cameo, his character even has a name: Albert
Dreary. In The Two Towers, he is part of the epic Battle of
Helm’s Deep, where we see him as a soldier of Rohan
throwing a spear at the Uruk-hai. Finally, in The Return of
the King, X is a Corsair of Umbar, seen walking across deck.
Who is X?
