1. Who is Golfimbul?
Golfimbul was the King of the goblins that attacked the shire and were defeated in the Battle of the Green Fields in 1147. Golfimbul was killed by Bandobras “Bullroarer” Took who knocked off his head, which ended in a rabbit-hole thus inventing the game of golf at the same time.

3. What are the symbols of Dol Amrot? Who is the prince of Dol Amrot?
The symbols of Dol Amroth are the Ship and the Silver Swan. The banner of Dol Amroth is variously described as “A white ship like a swan upon blue water” when it was flown above Gondor at the time when Imrahill took control of the city while Faramir was injured, and as a “Silver Swan” while the men of Rohan and Dol Amroth stood ready for battle before the Black gate of Mordor.

Imrahill was Prince of Dol Amroth. He was first seen riding to defend Gondor with a company of Knights and seven hundreds of men at arms from Dol Amroth. He took part in the Battle of Pelennor Field and also in the battle before the Black Gate.

The tenth and last king or Arnor was Earendur, son of Elendur. After his death, his three sons divided the kingdom. His eldest son and rightful heir, Amlaith of Fornosr, became the first King of Arthedain.

She was lost with the other Entwives at the time Sauron blasted the regions known as Brown Lands.They seperated with the Ents when they travelled east of the Great River to plant their gardens. It was Treebeard's desire to find Fimbrethil again that led the Ents to discover that the Entwives' gardens were been destroyed, and the Entwives themeselves were lost.

13 Dwarvesvisited Bilbo before they set uo for the Quest of Erebor. 1st came Dwalin and then his brother Balin. The third group that came were the brothers Fili and Kili.

Treebeard is also known as Fangorn. He is an Ent, the Eldest of all Ents, and the eldest living thing still in Middle-earth. He famously roused the Ents against Saruman, which turned out to be a very important event in the War of the Ring.
