Who is Eorl? Where is Isengard located? When was the battle at Morannon? How many were the Ringwraiths?

Look up the answers in this lexicon covering all translated works on and by J.R.R. Tolkien, the greatest story-teller of our time. Inside you find more than 3,600 entries on names, events and concepts related to his fairy-tale world.
