- Hi
-
- Two questions about Lotr:
-
- When Merry and Eowyn killed the Lord of Nazgul, Tolkien said that only
- weapons with special spells on them were able to harm Nazguls.
- Merry's sword was made in Arnor when dunedain fought against Witch King
- and so it had spells against him, but how about Eowyn's sword? Where
- did it originate from? How was it able to harm a Nazgul? Is this said
- anywhere?
-
- And... Theodred was the second and Eomer was the third Marshal of
- Mark, but who was the first? (just curiousity)
-
-
- Tero.
