Just to make it easier for me to keep up with. I can tell someone is adding
them while I'm checking them for updates. So now there is a field to put
the date entered or revised. So when I go to check, I can sort by datea nd
make it easier on myself.

Thanks

I've just finished catching up on all my categories so there's new
ones in there now. I finished them before you added the date field
onto the form, though. Would you like for me to send you a list of
the ones I just added to make it easier for you to find them?

PS Before I forget again, I added new banners within the last week -

Tar-Miriel
Tar-Palantir
Eye of Sauron
Pukel men
Barrow wights
Witch King of Angmar
Morgoth - and you'd asked for a longer name for the Morgoth award so
I put Morgoth Bauglir on this one to see if that would work for you.
In the Silm he was also called the Dark Lord, the Enemy, and the
Black Enemy. Don't know if any of those were what you were looking
for.

I *think* I got them all. I could see when the total number changed and if
it moved the files down one. So I knew after I went by Leaf and Branch and
changed the page only to see it again and a higher number, that somebody'd
added one before that. I found it. But the dates will make it a lot easier
in the future.

Ah, cool. Hadn't realized. I'll go look and grab them now.

Very cretive idea, using that picture of Arwen.

> Tar-Palantir

Thisjust reminds me that I think I'm confused. Are the Pukel-Men who Ghan
Buri Ghan was or are they the mysterious stones around Dunharrow? I think
the stones are more mysterious. Help me out here.

Ooh, Morgoth Bauglir would work. Thanks! Can whoever did the one other
Morgoth Award change theirs?

I think this leaves Elros as the only one without a banner. No, there's no
Turo and Idril yet, or Nimrodel and Amroth. So I guess there are still
three.

Thanks. Not a whole lot of Tar-miriel pictures out there but that one
made me think of her so I used it. Still looking around for something
else to use as a second banner for her, Tar-palantir and a couple for
Elros.

It's kind of confusing to explain, but basically they're both. Pukel
men is equal to to the Druedain, which are the people whom Ghan Buri
Ghan belonged to, and the makers of the statues at Dunharrow. The
Rohirrim also called them Woses. In Rohan the term pukel men referred
only to the statues themselves, but Tolkien uses the term pukel men
as what he calls a 'general equivalent to Druedain'.

There was also a stretch of forest called Old Pukel-land where this
tribe lived in the Second Age after they left Numenor but by the
Third Age there was only a small group of them left in the Druadan
Forest - the people of Ghan Buri Ghan. There's an interesting chapter
in Unfinished Tales about them and even though there's a general idea
of who they were and where they came from, there's still an overall
sense of mystery about the pukel men/Druedain.

They were supposed to be extremely skilled at stone carving and could
make their statues seem lifelike, like the watcher statues they left
outside Dunharrow, and they were also supposed to have 'strange
powers' in that they could become almost like statues themselves and
be completely still and silent for days on end. The pukel men were
also supposed to be fierce and deadly hunters. It talks about all of
this in the Unfinished Tales chapter I mentioned.

Okay, there's my Middle-earth history lesson for the day. ;-D Hope
that helped.

You're welcome. Glad that one worked for you. The other banner was
mine, too, so I'll change it. Still have to change the wording on a
couple of other banners, too, so I'll get them all done at one time
and let you know when I upload them.

Those are toughies. I'm still trying to figure out what to use for
them but I bet someone among us will come up with something.
