It’s a key moment of Lord of the Rings where the quest teeters on a precipice. And this weekend we’ll be putting it under the microscope as we discuss the question: “Did Frodo Fail in His Quest?”.<\/p>\n
Join us this Saturday June 4 from 6pm EDT in #thehalloffire on our chat server (irc.theonering.net) where we’ll attempt to find some sort of consensus over another one of Middle-earth’s most vexed questions!<\/p>\n
