Originally posted by AThousandYoung That's not easy. I had to look it up. I could never read the Silmarillion for long. It's very boring.
I was able to get the answer by exclusion. I found the Silmarillion hard to read, too, or at least many parts of it. I am not even sure I have read the whole thing, even though I am a big Tolkien fan.
exclusion waorked for me - never read the silmarillion - just th lord of the rings and the hobbit. point though - mirkwood the wood where sauron once resided is no place of lords and lindon just sounds really wrong. b) is the only logical conclusion.

No. Laurelindórenan is Lothlórien, which was Celeborn's and Galadriel's realm.
Originally posted by AThousandYoung Here's an easier one. Where are the Rings of Power at the beginning of LoTR? The Nine, the Seven, the Three and the One...
In the hands of, elves, humans, dwarves, and sauron? What is the 'beginning' of LoTR?
Originally posted by AThousandYoung The beginning of LoTR is the time period in the fictional land of Middle-Earth in which the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring is set.
Well yes. The movie officially starts after bilbo has found the ring, but the story is told back as far as sauron forging it and having it cut off his hand.

Who cares about the movie?
The movie had a green cloud of ghosts swarming battle elephants.
But as far as I know:
The 9 were still on the hands of the Nazgul
The Seven were all in the possesion of Sauron
The three belonged to Gandalf, Galadriel, and Elrond.
I don't remember the elven names off the top of my head. Except for Gandalf's, which was called Narya. (The ring of fire?)
