Achilles releases some LOTR jargon


Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, is AWESOME!

Turin had two sister, Neinor and Lailath. Lailiath means laughter, which is mildly oxymoronic, seeing as she died of plague when she was three.

Turin slew the first of the Great Worms, Glaurung. In the beggining, Morgoth (the first dark lord) and Sauron (the second dark lord and the lord of the rings) created the Three great worms, or dragons.

The dragons where the scourges of Arda and where fearsome in battle. Though they could not fly, they could breathe fire. If you where fighting an army the consisted of Balrog, Dragons, Orcs, Trolls, Ungoliant, and her kin, you would be scared.

I find it very confusing how Tolkien used the same name for completely different people. I though that Gothmog (orc who commanded Sauron's forces at the siege of Minas Tirith) was the lord of the Balrog. There is actually two Gothmogs.  one is a balrog and the other is a orc. Confusing.

A list of the names used more than once.

Beregond
Faramir
Frodo
Samwise
Pippin
Bilbo
Gothmog
Isengrim, and much much more.

There are two Isengrim Tooks! How confusing is that? There both Tooks!

I really hate how on the One Wiki to Rule them All, they just cycle through like fifty featured articles. First they go through the books, then the Fellowship, then the movies, then the languages, and then the nations. Very peeving.

If you pronounced Cirith Ungol as Seerith Ungol I will kill you. It is pronounced Keerith Ungol.

There. I needed to do that.
