3. The black moon

???

If you've read the LotR, I am ashamed of you. ;)
It's the White Hand. Sauron has the Red Eye, and there is no Black Moon.

[Gandalf White]

For crying out loud!!!!!!!!
It's the white hand.

[Dagorlad]

Darn! I wanted to answer the 2nd question, but can't find it.

[Greymantle]

Hmm... it would seem that the Tolkien Forum's legendary friendliness and hospitality have gone to the dirt.

Edit: Ignore the above. There have been some deletions.

[ReadWryt]

Grey,

Naw, but sometimes it needs to be crafted a bit by the moderators...

[Dengen-Goroth]

Yes, the white hand, Sauron was the eye. Did you know that we are mentioned in the latest Yahoo magazine. We're described as something like, i've forgotten exactly how, but as a friendly group of tolkien fans.

[Kementari]

WHAT? Really???? thats awesome!!! :) Ive never been mentioned in a magazine before :D

hmm i have noticed the forum becoming less friendly though... with so many members we are not as close as we used to be...

[Telchar]

The more members there are at a board the more distance it will be between members.. It's easier to get along with everybody at a small board, because you don't have to many to relate to..

[Lantarion]

Hmm, I am both flattered and ashamed. I apologize for being so straightforward (I know one of my posts was deleted), but the question seemed a little easy to be asked at a Tolkien forum. I realize that the Forum is here also to answer questions that fans have (I stress "fans": people who have read the books and liked them), but to come here to the forum, to search for it and find it, and to ask a question that could be found from a LotR book from the library, is a bit lazy, I think.

[Urukhai]

If you remember from the book, Legolas, gimili,and aragorn wre looking over the dead orcs,they saw the shields with the WHITE HAND and the s-rune.So, that means that the symbol is the white hand.

[Lantarion]

I believe that has been established now. :) Welcome, Urukhai!

[Cian]

And the S-rune (a certh) has been theoried to perhaps be #35 on the Angerthas table in RotK Appendices.

[*Lady Aragorn*]

even i knew it was #1! they said in somewhere in either one of the movies.:eek:

What's wrong with being lazy?
