Fly, you fools!

THE DAY

On January 15, 2019 TA, the Fellowship of the Ring fought their way out of Moria, and lost Gandalf to the Balrog of Morgoth. Honestly, that part never made me terribly sad, because even when I read it for the very first time, I knew somehow that he couldn't be dead. Not really. The part that makes me miserable is right after, when they are outside of Moria, and that wonderful piece of music begans to play. Its very sad.

THE YEAR

In the year 2995 TA, Eowyn of Rohan was born. 

Of course, we all love Eowyn. And if she hadn't been around, Middle Earth would have been in trouble, because she wouldn't have killed the Witch King of Angmar, and the Witch King would have killed Gandalf. And Gandalf wouldn't have been able to talk to the eagles and tell them about Frodo, so the eagles wouldn't have gone to get Frodo. So Frodo and Sam would have died. And if it wasn't for Frodo and Sam, Merry and Pippin's hot hotheadedness would have caused them to fight well and die well, but ultimately lose the Shire. And Saruman would have lived much longer. Also Faramir would never have found love or happiness. And Eomer wouldn't have had a sister. And Theoden wouldn't have had a niece. Also Merry wouldn't have gotten to go fight. You get the idea. Eowyn is quite important.

THE DAY

January 14th, 3019 TA
The company spends the night in "hall twenty-one"

THE YEAR

Int he year 2994 TA, Balin dies in Moria, and the Dwarf Colony there was destroyed. It becomes overrun with goblins, trolls, balrog (1), etc. But come on people! Balin died, how sad is that? He was basically Bilbo's best friend, after Gandalf, and he just died. Its very depressing. Or, as Tolkien said, "Balin Perishes".

Appendix A>>Annals of the Kings and Rulers>> II. The House of Eorl>>The Kings of the Mark>>Third Line>>Eomer Eadig

"Eomer became a great king, and being young when he succeeded Theoden he reigned for sixty-five years, longer than all the kings before him save Aldor the Old. In the War of the Ring he made the friendship of King Elessar, and of Imrahil of Dol Amroth; and he rode often to Gondor. In the last year of the Third Age he wedded Lothiriel, daughter of Imrahil. Their son Elfwine the Fair ruled after him."
