I was reading about this battle earlier in the RotK, and Gandalf seemed to elud that the Battle of the Morannon was actually bigger than the Pelennor. So I'm just wondering if this should be edited? --Dwarf Lord 00:06, 21 October 2006 (CDT)

Hm, I can't remember off the top of my head, do you have an exact quote? I'll do some digging. --Hyarion 00:09, 21 October 2006 (CDT)

It's in the chapter The Last Debate, on page 860, in the second paragraph, and on the fourth sub-paragraph in the first sentance. --Dwarf Lord 11:10, 21 October 2006 (CDT)

Hehe, I seem to possess the same edition as DL has! I found it right there where he said it would be. Gandalf speaking: "Hardly has our strength sufficed to beat off the first great assault. The next will be greater." --Earendilyon 15:59, 21 October 2006 (CDT)

So guys, what should I do with this info? --Dwarf Lord 11:07, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

You might add a comment along the lines of Though the Battle of the Pelennor Fields receives more attention in the book, the Battle of the Morannon was actually greater: [Gandalf's quote].
PS: you also might want to change the introduction of the article on the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in this respect. --Earendilyon 13:14, 22 October 2006 (CDT)
