Barazanthual, Dain's axe

Stuff

edit

I added an info box and deleted the part about the axe.

The trouble with deleting stuff like that is that someone (maybe not now, but maybe a few years later) will add it back. I think it is better to have this mentioned in some way, but rightly relegated to its own section or just a link to the appropriate article or list. Carcharoth 14:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Just thought I'd mention that Barazanthual is mentioned and given its own rules in the Lord of the Rings Table top game also Lowris (talk) 23:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Direct Line

What does direct line mean? Does it mean father to son to son and so on. Or does it mean that the kingship never passed through marriage? 96.238.211.171 (talk) 19:17, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Well, for Tolkien it's father to child anyway. If you compare the death of Helm Hammerhand of Rohan and his children, his sister-son (Nephew) takes the throne and Tolkien describes that as the second line. This also happens with the third line after the death of Théoden GimliDotNet (Speak to me,Stuff I've done) 19:32, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
