Correct! 8)

The Rammas Echor, the outer layer, is not generally included in the walls of Minas Tirith. It was the perimeter of the Pelennor Fields.


Your turn, Nurin!

Right, this is also, like Ingold's question, in need of several answers.

Who are the known members of the White Council, when was it formed, and who is the 'leader' of them?

As of no one have answered yet, I'll lower the difficulty abit... Just the known members and who the leader was is requires to pass.

I believe the only known members are Gandalf, Saruman, Galadriel, Elrond and Cirdan. There are also many other speculated members, such as Glorfindel, Celeborn and Radagst, but Tolkien never gave an actual list. The leader was originally Saruman the White, though Galadriel wanted it to be Gandalf the Grey. Later, when Saruman revealed himself to be "of many colours", Gandalf the White took over.

Neekerbreekers were crickets that annoyed the Hobbits while they were in the Midgewater Marshes. They were given their name by Sam Gamgee for the sound they made.

Thanks Josh. :)


Ok, next question.

How did Gandalf save Thorin's Company (the first time they got into trouble)?

Gandalf confused the Trolls who were about to eat Thorin and Company, causing them to argue until the sun came up, turning them into stone.

What is the etymology of the name, 'Carn Dum'?

The etymology is uncertain... an interpretation could be that is real-world Gaelic (in which it would mean "mountain fortress")
Otherwise, 'Carn' could be derived from Sindarin, where 'caran' means red, and 'Dûm' is a Khuzdul (Dwarvish) word meaning 'halls' or 'mansions'
...a last option is that it is an unrecorded Mannish or Avarin language.

I hope that's it :)
