Annúminas, Amon Sûl and Osgiliath's stones were destroyed. Elostirion in the Tower Hills was taken to Amen with Frodo et al. I believe that stone was a gift from Gil-galad to Elendil. The Anor-stone and the Orthanc-stone stayed in M-e. The Ithil-stone was in Barad-dûr during the War of the Ring but the fate is unknown.

Now this eighth stone I had to dig up (pun intended

) in the Sil. The Masterstone resides in Avallone upon Eressea.

" . . . Lightfoot's foal, swift Snowmane."

I can remember that, but not my cellphone number.

Righto Merry. Your turn and don't worry about the cell phone number thing.

Okay, then!

Level 1: What are the three varieties of pipe-weed for which the Southfarthing is best known?

Ah pipeweed that nasty habit.

Let's see if I can remember them....Longbottom Leaf, Old Toby and Southern something.....

Yes, indeed--you two make a good team! Since Philipa got most of the answer, should she go next?

I have been reading the Prologue to LOTR, from whence came the questioin on pipeweed. It occurs to me on this reading, moreover, that it reveals at least some important information about how the trilogy ends, including the fact that Merry, Pippin, and Faramir all survive to tell the tale and that someone named Elessar becomes King in Gondor!

You did the lion's share of the work Philipa...it's all yours.
