The King Returns [+trolls]
The Wraith

Welcome back, dear Lord Annatar. How could we ever have doubted you would return, especially after the amazing houdini act when that bumbling prince tripped and cut off your finger that time.

X, I know I speak for myself and the C.I.C. when I say you can be assured of seeing some of our brave Olog warriors storming the gates of Mians Tirith wielding the great ram, Grond, if historical accuracy has any say in the matter. Also, if you visit the site mentioned on the home page as having pics of the ROTK acion figures you can see that those nasty little spies form the Shire have stolen the armor and helmets form a pair of brave Mordor soldiers to further their perfidious infiltation.

Lilly, you asked about Trolls earlier. The kind the thief Bilbo encountered were hill trolls. They have the power of speech, and according to the info in The Hobbit some even come with more than one head. The cave trolls in Moria are a pretty dull bunch, all crush this and destroy that. I beleive they are the kind you can see operating the Black Gate in TTT [How great is our benevolent Lord Annatar. No such thing as umemployment in Mordor; everyone has a purpose.] The great Olog-hai warriors [bred special by our foresighted leader] in the final battle before the Gates of Mordor are reported as being immune to sunlight and well armed. The cave trolls operating the Black Gate are unaffected by sunlight because- well, it's Mordor. There isn't any most of the time.
