Nimloth;

Nimloth; So in the beginning of the Second age the Elves of Tol Eressëa brought to Númenor, as gifts for the Númenorian people, birds and flowers and herbs and a seedling of Celeborn, the White Tree that grew in the midst of Eressëa. This was planted in the court of the kings in Armenelos and it grew and blossomed and it was called Nimloth the Fair. Later, the White Tree that grew in the King's Court of Númenor; was burned at the instigation of Sauron. Isildur then stole a fruit from the Tree before it was destroyed, from which grew a seedling that he later planted in the courts of Minas Ithil.#tolkien #arda #valinor #middleearth #elves #teleri#minasithil #minasanor #minastirith #celeborn#numenor #eressea #nimloth #lineofwhitetrees#armenelos #lotr #jrrtolkien #letstalkarda

Black Breath;

Black Breath; Was a power or effect employed by the Nazgûl to overcome their enemies. The exact nature of the Black Breath is open to debate or question, but it induced not only a terror but a real injury on the victim. Merry was overpowered by it in Bree, but was rescued before he could be seriously affected. In Minas Tirith, Faramir was less fortunate, and the Black Breath brought him to the edge of death before he could be revived. The plant athelas was effective in relieving Morgul-wounds of all kinds, including the power of the Black Breath.

Beorn;

Beorn; Was a Skin-changer of the Vales of Anduin and Thrived around 3rd age 2941; and died some time before 3rd age 3018. He was the founder of the Beornings and was known as the "warrior" or the "bear". He dwelt near the western eaves of Mirkwood, who could take the form of a Man or a huge black bear. He played a great part in the victory over the Goblins at the Battle of Five Armies. In terms of technicality, Tolkien makes it clear in his letters that despite his remarkable qualities, Beorn was nonetheless a Mortal Man. Assuming that his lifespan was typical of ordinary Men, it's unlikely that he survived much beyond 3rd age 3000. The etymology of Beorn's name is interesting. The Old English word originally meant 'bear', but evolved over the centuries to the point where it came to mean 'warrior'. So, Beorn's ability to transform from a bear to a man echoes the linguistic development of his name. I love this character in the Legendarium by the way. #tolkien #thehobbit #jrrtolkien#tolkienologist #arda #mirkwood #arda #letstalkarda#beorn #lotr #bear #middleearth
