I think Ercassie might have it but I'll guess Elessar aka Aragorn?

Does this character appear in The Silmarillion?

Also @Lúthien Tinúviel I thought we normally didn't number character guesses? This is purely a technicality, so no worries either way.

Ok, I have to apologise sincerely to everyone. I made a major brainfart and accidentally answered "yes" to if their name has the Elvish "El". My subconscious glitched, so I'll go ahead and correct myself and you guys and throw a bone. Their name contains "Gil". (Thus, it's not Elladan or Elendur.) Sorry for mixing up my Sindarin and Quenya! *hides head in shame*

12. No, this character does not appear in The Silmarillion
13. Yes, this character is female.
14. Yes, this character is a descendant of Beren and Lúthien.

My deepest apologies again. :cry:

Ah, you got me @Dwim! Yes, Sancho Proudfoot, as inspired by Mojo's lovely read-along. I can just see him down there with his da's best garden spade and a makeshift hammer, gleefully wreaking havoc.

The floor is yours. :hobbyhorse:

The hobbits making holes in the walls trying to find Bilbo's treasure is one of the most amusing images in the whole book. :lol:
