Aragorn at the Pelennor, Olog-hai, Pip
Jarrickon Half-elven

Aragorn does not lead the Rohirrim at the charge on the Pelennor fields. That bit of trailer is merely spliced between the Morannon and the Pelennor, with Elessar saying his incredibly well-written speech. How do I know this? When he says, "This day, we fight!", he is turning and lifting up Andúril. A spliced-in shot of Éowyn at the Pelennor. We then see Aragorn completing his turn and the Flame of the West is held high, before the opened Black Gate of Mordor.

Master Praz, I know not whence the name Olog-hai came from, as it is not in the index of the Lord of the Rings and I do not remember it in the book. However, it is mentioned in the Prologue that Sauron bred a race of trolls that were no longer stupid and could withstand the sun.

Pip, my last name is spelled F-a-l-c-o-n-n. It is pronounced similar to the bird (falcon) but equal emphasis is put on both syllables, as opposed to the first, and the 'o' is somewhat closer to a long 'ō' (not quite though).


Namárië!
