After the great battle, Gimli and Legolas enters Minas Tirith and make some interesting observations about mankind. A servant of Prince Imrahil takes them to the houses of healing where they tell Pippin and Merry the dark tale of the Paths of the Dead. Meanwhile the Captains of the West hold a debate in the tents of Aragorn. For though one battle is won, Sauron is now massing armies so great that the defeat of Gondor seems inevitable.
What do you think about Gimli and Legolas musings about Men? What do you think of the speculation about Imrahils background? The tale of the Paths of the Dead and the battle of Pelargir is also something we’ll look at more closely. What happens to Legolas, and what do you think about his vision of Aragorn with the One Ring?
During the debate of the captains a bold plan to ride out and meet Saurons forces is agreed upon. What are the captains hoping to achieve with this? How well do they guess Saurons mind? What precautions do they make in case their plan fails?
Join us in #thehalloffire as we take a look at Return of the King book V, Chapter IX – The Last Debate.

He also has two new high-quality limited edition giclee prints available — and the new LOTR Trivia game is out featuring his artwork. [More]
A Canadian fan of Peter Jackson’s movie The Lord of the Rings has come up with his own special effect in an attempt to work on the film trilogy. Thomas Magnum, who is employed at a fishing plant in Vancouver, has placed an advertisement in today’s Dominion Post pleading that he be taken on by the films’ special-effects wizard Richard Taylor and art director Dan Hennah.

Sideshow/Weta Collectibles has made available for pre-order their series 3 Two Towers Busts. This series features Eomer, Theoden, an Uruk-Hai Swordsman and the Witch-king of Angmar bust. Unlike the FOTR collectibles, these pieces are limited editions. On a personal note, the Theoden bust is probably the best bust sculpt we have seen from these folks, and it is no surprise when you see that Virginia Lee, daughter of Alan Lee, was the sculptor!
