The two towers

thats no moon

>lord of the rings
>there's only one, singular ring, not several
>main character isn't even a lord, he's a little boy

I always thought sauron was the lord

>Some lore fag settle this for me once and for all.
>Are the two towers Barad Dur and Orthanc? I had a childhood friend who instead they were actually minas tirith and minas morgul. Are the two towers different in the books or what?

Tolkien himself said it was unclear. The end-of-book preview in TFOTR says that they are Orthanc and Minas Morgul, but it’s not known if Tolkien wrote those himself. Anyway one of them is almost certainly Orthanc.

>sauron
you must not have paid any attention, it's sarumon, he's the one spawning the orcs

>Dragon that breathes Fire
>Called Smog

Book 3 has Orthanc, book 4 has the Cirith Ungol tower

>Sword to sting people
>Called sting

No, it's just that I have seen some good lore filled shitposting, the ones in this thread are just bad

>create massive plotholes

Dare I say it, was he a hack?

>everyone loses them
not really, the elves hid them because they realized Sauron could corrupt them (the wearers are Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf)
the dwarves mostly died to dragons because it caused their greed to go into overdrive causing them to come into conflict with dragons
the humans became the nazgul serving Sauron

e' took a litt'l tumble down the thread

Tolkien never cared much for the titles his editor suggested after splitting the book into three but he did say that he considered the titular towers to be Orthanc and Barad-dur.

I do think that the title works better as Isengard and Mordor both fucking Middle Earth.

Gandalf is not an elf

Go to bed Billy Joe.

Imagine being part of the Fellowship. Imagine sneaking off into the forest with the Ringbearer. Imagine using him like a tiny hobbit flashlight, just destroying his extra small ultra tight hobbit boypussy. Imagine punching right into his stomach with your massive Man dick until he cries and his big alien eyes bulge right out of their sockets.

You do you user, better scenario would be going with the Hobbits back to the shire at the end and when they point out Rosie you take her out back and leave her pussy like a newly formed lake. Tell Sam he's got good taste and wish them well.

huh?

I could destroy Frodo’s bowels, but I could never cuck my bro Samwise.

correct but het gets the ring from the harbormaster (who is an elf named Círdan) when he arrives in middle-earth
the harbormaster recognizes what Gandalf is (a Maiar) and gives him the ring

>faramir goes far
>boromir is a bore

He had been lots of times. He even tells Boromir that in the movie.

>elipont
mumakil, actually

what is it then, and why is it in the main poster????????????????????????????????

eru

I'm not Tolkien you fucker. Tolkien is obviously dead and there's no way I could even live that long.

>I
Tolkien you fucking hack, get back in the ground

>Are the two towers Barad Dur and Orthanc?
No, those are Minas Morgul and Orthanc. It's clearly seen in Tolkien's illustration for the cover of TTT - on the left there's a white tower with a crescent (Minas Ithil (before it was captured and called Minas Morgul) means Tower of the Rising Moon) and on the right there's a black tower with a circling stair with prongs on top - which is clearly Orthanc. Plus, you can see the white hand (Saruman's symbol) underneath and a star (it doesn't have any concrete meaning but it probably refers to Saruman's habit of observing stars on Orthanc's top). And at last where's the winged Nazgûl flying to interrogate Saruman/retrieve his spoils. I'm not sure about significance of the nine circles at Minas Morgul - probably it's the nine Nazgûl.

>>lord of the rings
The title is an irony. Because a little boy has the power but he doesn’t know it.

Cirith Ungol and Minas Morgul are two different towers, right?

Not anymore

Cirith Ungol is a valley in the Ephel Duath(Mordor mountain range) at the end of it is the tower of Cirith Ungol. Minas Morgul is at the other end. Kind of.

just learning this now? Tolkien is overrated

You know... Theres a serbian parody with this exact premise, 'bobo smrade'

>wear grey robes
>called Gandalf the Grey
>wear white white robes
>called Gandalf the White

Behold the genius of Tolkien. Was there ever a bigger hack in the history of literature?

kek

>I'm not sure about significance of the nine circles at Minas Morgul - probably it's the nine Nazgûl.
