#Tolkien trivia: which members of the fellowship receive wounds that actually break skin?

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@jprincon_lengua Nailed it!

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@Andrewnsnyder I always took it to mean that there actually are “good guys” on both sides, because the whole thing is manipulated by Palpatine such that the Jedi think they’re defending the Republic and the low level Separatists are just seeking independence. But you’re also correct.

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@StJohnSmythe007 Merry we know had a gash in his forehead from the Uruk-hai; Pippin we don’t get any description of such a wound. Even if the rope is said to “cut” his wrists that wouldn’t necessarily imply actual breaking of skin

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@SethMoldenhauer Merry’s wound was described as a “gash” which left a brown scar. Pippin is crushed but never said to have bled that I can tell

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@DrSwami You missed Sam (Moria), Merry (capture by Uruk-hai), and Gimli (Helm’s Deep)

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@SpinksErik I don’t count burning but Gandalf is a question mark anyway lol

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@scgibbs13 You missed one last answer…

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@SethMoldenhauer Merry, not Pippin, but otherwise correct!

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@DrSwami Tsk tsk, less than half of what I hoped for lol

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@Tpryanjr184 Correct!

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@EMon970 Gandalf might have, but we know Merry has a gash after being captured and Frodo of course is stabbed.

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@tolkienprof Two weeks in a row in my asynchronous listening I’ve had the same thought so I’ll plant it here: Legolas is certainly on watch duty. The first time he’s mentioned after Rivendell he’s rearguard because he’s keen-eyed. After Moria they need that for early warning of pursuit.

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@DrSwami Correct!

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

#Tolkien trivia: what river flows out of the Iron Hills?

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@J1925114 Cotton is the obvious one, and is in fact related to “cot” rather than the plant

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

#Tolkien trivia: which name in Lord of the Rings is related to a type of fabric? Hint: it’s not the obvious one!

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@dartkaymckinney Yes!

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@WJAlbers It is not. lol

[Joshua Scott @JRRTLore]

@JosiahGilliam Type of garment, but not a fabric. I’m looking for the actual material
