}}&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Battle of Azanulbizar&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{TA|2799}}) was the final battle in the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]]. It was fought beneath the [[Great Gates|East-gate of Moria]] in the valley of Azanulbizar, called &#039;&#039;[[Nanduhirion]]&#039;&#039; in [[Sindarin]] or &#039;&#039;[[Dimrill Dale]]&#039;&#039; in [[Westron]]. Therefore the event is also known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Battle of Nanduhirion&#039;&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;&#039;Battle of Dimrill Dale&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The War of the Dwarves and Orcs began when [[Azog]] the [[Orcs|Orc]]-chieftain of [[Moria]] captured and mutilated [[Thrór]], King of [[Durin&#039;s Folk]]. Azog branded his own name in runes onto Thrór&#039;s severed head, then let Thrór&#039;s companion [[Nár]] escape so that all [[Dwarves]] would know that an Orc now ruled Moria. Full of righteous fury, Thrór&#039;s son [[Thráin|Thráin II]] summoned a great army of Dwarves, including those not of Durin&#039;s Folk ([[Firebeards]] and [[Broadbeams]] from the [[Blue Mountains]], and others from the far East of Middle-earth). For six years they systematically sacked the Orc strongholds of the [[Misty Mountains]], until only Moria was left. There the Orcs that had survived the destruction had gathered to Azog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Opposing Forces==&lt;br /&gt;
The exact number for the Dwarves was not specified, but it can be estimated at being somewhere between six to ten thousand Longbeards, Firebeards, Broadbeams, Ironfists, Stonefoots, Blacklocks, and Stiffbeards.  &lt;br /&gt;
This is based off the assumption that the other Dwarf houses sent no more then a few thousand each to take part in the war, because they could not have sent too many for economic, financial and defense reasons. The Longbeards (Durin&#039;s Folk) could not have mustered a proper fighting force of no more than 1-3,000, because of a severely depleted populace and financial/economic problems (especially Thraín&#039;s following).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AppDurin&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{App|Durin}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Orcs, as stated above, came from Moria, and from as far north as [[Gundabad|Mount Gundabad]]. Their numbers can be estimated at fifteen to twenty thousand Orcs.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AppDurin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Battle==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Jacek Kopalski - Náin at Azanulbizar.jpg|thumb|left|Jacek Kopalski - &#039;&#039;Náin at Azanulbizar&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The battle began on a dark winter day, and no sun was said to have shined through the clouds. The Dwarves had marched into the Dimrill Dale where they found the East-Gate and sent up a great noise. They discovered that on the western slopes above thousands of Orcs had gathered, while more still came pouring out of the gate. The Dwarves there stood outnumbered and on the lower end of a sloping hill. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first Vanguard led by King Thráin, assaulted the slopes only to be driven back with casualties. In a woods near the Mirrormere, the dwarves noted that [[Frerin]], youngest son of Thráin was slain along with [[Fundin]], father of [[Balin]]; and many others. Thraín himself was wounded, as was his eldest son [[Thorin|Thorin II Oakenshield]], whose shield was broken during the battle, forcing him to resort to using an oak branch that he cut off a tree to defend himself. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Elsewhere, the battle swayed back and forth until [[Náin (son of Grór)|Náin]] from the [[Iron Hills]] arrived with a contingent of fresh troops. Náin and his Dwarves cut through the Orc lines with their mattocks shouting, &amp;quot;AZOG! AZOG! AZOG!&amp;quot; until they had reached the steps of the gate, at which Naín called Azog to come out and fight. When Azog emerged from the inner gate with his guards, Náin was exhausted and half blind with rage. He tried to swing as hard as he could, but Azog darted aside and Náin missed, splintering his mattocks on the ground.  The orc kicked him in the leg when he dodged the Dwarf&#039;s blow, making him stumble, at which point Azog attempted to thrust and behead him, succeeding only in breaking Náin&#039;s neck because of the strong mail he was wearing. Náin died instantly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as Azog gloated over his duel, he looked out over the valley which the east gate overlooks, and came to the realization that his entire force was routed. Those that could were fleeing southwards, and all his guard was dead. With that he fled back to the gate. Náin&#039;s son, [[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin]], leaped up the steps after him with his red axe, and there before the gate he decapitated the Orc chieftain, thus ending the battle. &lt;br /&gt;
The slaying of Azog was considered an amazing feat, as Dáin was only 32 years of age (very young for a Dwarf). Dáin would later become [[King under the Mountain]] as [[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin II Ironfoot]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AppDurin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Steamey - Vengeance.jpg|thumb|Steamey - &#039;&#039;Vengeance&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Dwarves were victorious, but half of their forces were dead or mortally wounded. The Orcs suffered even worse casualties, with ten thousand dead. After the battle, Thráin wanted to enter and reclaim Moria, the ancestral home of Durin&#039;s folk. However, due to their losses, the other Houses not willing to participate, and since Dáin had seen [[Durin&#039;s Bane]] beyond the East-gate, Thráin refrained from entering.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AppDurin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dwarves stripped their dead so the Orcs could not plunder them, and cut down all the trees in the valley, which was to remain bare ever after. They made many pyres on which to burn their dead. They could not bury them all in tombs of stone, as was their custom, because it would take too long. From then on those that died in Dimrill Dale were known proudly as &#039;&#039;Burned Dwarves&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Houses parted ways, returning to their homes to the North, East, and West. Thráin, with what was left of the Longbeard contingent, went back to [[Dunland]] and wandered in [[Eriador]], eventually settling in the Southern Blue Mountains. There Durin&#039;s folk repopulated slowly, waiting for the day when they could take back the halls of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]] and Khazad-dum.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AppDurin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Repercussions==&lt;br /&gt;
Orcs who fled from the battle attempted to retreat to the [[White Mountains]] by crossing [[Rohan]]. As a result they infested its dales after they too were eradicated after many years of fighting.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{App|Stewards}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the Dwarves suffered heavy casualties, the battle would have lasting effects for the [[Orcs of the Misty Mountains]]. Their numbers were severely reduced after the battle and never fully recovered. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The depletion of the Orc population contributed to the survival of [[Thorin and Company]] on their journey to Erebor, as well as the victory of the Elves, Men, and Dwarves at the [[Battle of Five Armies]]. It also allowed [[Balin]], in {{TA|2989}}, to attempt the [[Balin&#039;s Colony|recolonization of Moria]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Portrayal in adaptations==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;2012: &#039;&#039;[[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]]&#039;&#039;:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Referred to as the &#039;&#039;&#039;Battle of [[Moria]]&#039;&#039;&#039; in this [[The Hobbit (film series)|film trilogy]] (and portrayed more as an isolated battle rather than the final conflict for an entire war), the battle is presented in a flashback sequence as [[Balin]] recounts [[Thorin]]&#039;s past to [[Bilbo Baggins]]. The narrative of the battle has been heavily condensed. In the film version, rather than recounting Thrór&#039;s death at the hands of [[Azog]] and the resulting war of many years, Balin simply says that after [[Smaug]] drove the [[Dwarves of Erebor|Dwarves]] from [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], Thrór attempted to lead all of his people back to their ancestral realm in Moria, only to find that the [[Orcs]] had gotten there first. [[Azog]] does decapitate [[Thrór]], but the deed takes place during the battle itself, and the head is thrown at Thorin&#039;s feet rather than [[Nár]]&#039;s. Balin similarly condenses [[Thráin]]&#039;s story, stating that he went mad with grief and wandered away, and his people never knew if he was dead or captured. [[Dáin Ironfoot]] is completely absent from the story, and it is Thorin who rallies the dwarves by facing Azog in single combat and hacking off his left arm at the elbow. The wounded Azog is dragged back into Moria by his subordinates, and the Dwarves assume he has died of his injuries, but he survives to appear in a present-time sub-plot in which he is hunting Thorin and Company for revenge. No mention is made of the burning of the Dwarves&#039; dead, but Balin, [[Dwalin]], [[Bifur]], and Thorin are seen in the aftermath of the battle walking amidst heaps of their slain kin, and Balin recalls the battle as a pyrrhic victory, and the number of dead as beyond the count of grief, echoing closely the wording of the account from [[Appendix A]] of &#039;&#039;[[The Lord of the Rings]]&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth.

&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in T.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Joe swung his great golden blade round and round. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Fellowship arrived in Minas Gurth, they were surrounded by archers from the band of outlaws they were chasing. Their leader, a Noldorin elf named Arthon charged at the Fellowship with the whole band of outlaws. Seeing as the other members of the Fellowship were scared and nervous, Bob charged in on his own and engaged all of the outlaws with just his magic flaming blade. Bob lit the town on fire and slew many outlaws. The other members of the Fellowship charged in after Bob, except for Maethon and Billy who pulled out their bows and shot at the outlaws from afar. Soon they successfully killed all of the outlaws and retrieved the Book of Arnor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, while the group was going back to Arnor, Maethon revealed his evil intentions and tried to steal the Book of Arnor. Billy drew his bow and aimed it at Maethon. Maethon cut Billy&#039;s bow and slew him. Bob and the others, horrified, charged at Maethon. Tom throws his spear at Maethon. Maethon dodges by jumping up into a tree. Bob throws his spear at the tree, cutting the branch Maethon is on. Maethon jumps off the branch and fights Joe. Joe is pushed into a river, and gets back up. Bob and Bert take on Maethon, and succeed in overwhelming him, but Maethon escapes. The remaining members of the Fellowship, Bob, Bert, and Joe, go back to Arnor. They give the Book back to Eldacar and get paid handsomely. The Fellowship becomes an official mercenary group and makes its base in Ostsarnrath. Bert becomes High Scribe of Ostsarnrath and begins to write a book detailing the Fellowship&#039;s adventures, called, The Fellowship of the Book. The rest of the Fellowship make their homes in Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Three&amp;gt;The Fellowship of the Book by High Scribe Bert of Gondor&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Quest for the Golden Sword===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is T.A 351. The Fellowship is in the middle of an obscure, shady town.. They are hunting down Maethon. Bob has become the leader of the Fellowship. Torthion has joined in the hunt also, and has brought his two trusty aides, Eithon and Orthrodir. Both were twins who were skilled with bows and daggers, and thus were the perfect match for Maethon. Bob and the Fellowship were going around asking shady people about the whereabouts of Maethon, when they heard that Maethon was on a quest. A quest to recover the legendary golden sword, Maltirith. It was a legendary sword, forged by the Dwarves of Belegost. It was a magical blade, and it was extremely powerful. The Fellowship determined to find it before Maethon could.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship departed for the [[Blue Mountains]], but not before hiring two other skilled mercenaries to join the Fellowship. They hired an Arnorian mercenary named Willy Walker, a dunedain ranger. He fought with a sword and a bow, and was very skilled with both. The other one was a mysterious ranger named Mark Question. Mark was skilled with daggers and swords. He carried around a round shield, that had hints of magic on it. It was unbreakable. So the Fellowship&#039;s numbers grew to nine, and they departed for the Blue Mountains.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Halfway on the journey, they stopped at a mysterious fountain, where they took a drink. Unbeknownst to them, the fountain was magical and it gave anti-aging to its drinkers. After they drunk, they set up camp at the fountain, but they were attacked by orcs. So they defended their camp. Willy took the high ground and sniped at the orcs with his bow. Bob, Torthion, and Mark charged at the orcs. Eithon and Orthrondir and Tom and Joe came after, decimating the orcs. Bert remained inside the tent, chronicling the battle in his book, The Fellowship of the Book.&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Host of the West&#039;&#039;&#039; was a combined allied force of [[Elves]] and [[Dúnedain]] during the [[Angmar War]]. &lt;br /&gt;
==Formation==&lt;br /&gt;
The host composed of a vast army from Gondor (actually just a small force compared to the full might of Gondor)&amp;lt;ref name=gondor/&amp;gt; that arrived in a massive fleet, which hardly could find harborage, filling [[Forlond]], [[Harlond (Lindon)|Harlond]], and the [[Grey Havens]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Northmen, proud princes of [[Rhovanion]] and riders tall and fair (perhaps [[Éothéod]]) came with beautiful [[horses]] from the [[Vales of Anduin]] that gathered most praise when they arrived to [[Mithlond]].&amp;lt;ref name=gondor/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Círdan]], Master of the [[Grey Havens]], summoned all who would fight from the [[Elves of Lindon]], as well as the remnants of the [[Dúnedain of the North]].&amp;lt;ref name=gondor/&amp;gt; Among the forces of former Arthedain were some [[Hobbits]] from [[the Shire]].&amp;lt;ref name=gondor/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In {{TA|1973}} [[Arthedain]] was in danger and King [[Eärnil II]] sent his son Prince [[Earnur]] and a massive fleet to their aid. After [[Arnor]] [[fall of Fornost|fell]] to [[Angmar]], Prince [[Eärnur]], in his capacity as [[Captain of Gondor]], reached belatedly [[Lindon]] with his fleet to the aid of Arthedain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although it was too late, the fleet and the host it brought, seemed so massive, that there was much joy and wonder among Elves and Men.&amp;lt;ref name=gondor/&amp;gt; The allied host, led by Cirdan and Earnur, marched east across the river [[Lune]] to [[Fornost]] to challenge the [[Witch-king]], while the main body of the Allies&#039; horsemen, was to pass around the hills to surprise Fornost from the north. The Witch-king was crushed at the [[Battle of Fornost]] ({{TA|1975}}).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the main part of the Battle, the Host was joined by a force of Elves from [[Rivendell]] led by [[Glorfindel]], who chased the Witch-king.&amp;lt;ref name=gondor/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;J.R.R. Tolkien&#039;s The Lord of the Rings&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is an animated film directed by [[Ralph Bakshi]], and released to theaters in 1978.  It was an adaptation of the first half of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[The Lord of the Rings]]&#039;&#039;. Bakshi&#039;s most ambitious effort (and his most famous after his animated adaptation of the underground comic &#039;&#039;Fritz the Cat&#039;&#039;), the film was produced by [[Saul Zaentz]]&#039;s Fantasy Films, and distributed to theaters by United Artists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
Long ago, in the early years of the [[Second Age]], the great Elven-smiths forged Rings of Power — Nine for mortal [[Men]], Seven for the [[Dwarves|Dwarf-lords]], and three for the fair [[Elves|Elf-rulers]]. But then, the Dark Lord [[Sauron]] learned the craft of ring-making and made the Master Ring — [[The One Ring]] to rule them all. With the One Ring, [[Middle-earth]] is his and he cannot be overcome. As the last alliance of Men and Elves fell beneath his power, the Ring fell into the hands of Prince [[Isildur]] of the mighty kings from across the sea. However, he did not destroy the ring, and, because of this, the spirit of Sauron lived on and began to take shape and grow again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ring had a will of its own, and had a way of slipping from hand to hand, so that it might at last get back to its master. The Ring lay in the bottom of a lake for thousands of years. During those years, Sauron captured the nine Rings that were made for Men and turned their owners into the [[Nazgûl|Ringwraiths]] - terrible shadows under his great shadow who roamed the world searching for the One Ring. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ring, meanwhile, was found by two friends. One of them, [[Gollum|Sméagol]], was so enticed by the Ring&#039;s power that he killed his friend [[Déagol]] to get it. Sméagol possessed the Ring for hundreds of years, during which it warped him into a twisted, gurgling wretch known only as Gollum, until his &amp;quot;Precious&amp;quot; was discovered (some might say stolen) by the hobbit [[Bilbo Baggins]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several years later, in a land called [[the Shire]], Bilbo is celebrating his 111th (or eleventy-first, as it is called) birthday, on the same day that his nephew [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] celebrates his 33rd birthday (his &amp;quot;coming of age&amp;quot;). During his speech, Bilbo slips the Ring on, and confusion arises as the party notices that their host has suddenly disappeared into thin air!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Gandalf]] the wizard, however, knows the truth behind this act. In Bilbo&#039;s hobbit hole, Gandalf tells him to leave the Ring for Frodo, but Bilbo seems unwilling to give it up. He does, finally, agree to do so, and leaves the Shire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gandalf realizes that the &amp;quot;magic&amp;quot; ring is in fact the One Ring forged by Sauron, the evil lord. He knows the Shire is in danger - soon Sauron will learn that the Ring is in the possession of a Baggins and send his &amp;quot;wraiths&amp;quot; after him. Heeding Gandalf&#039;s advice, Frodo leaves his home, taking the Ring with him. He hopes to reach [[Rivendell]], where he will be safe from Sauron, and where those wiser than him can decide what to do about the Ring.  In his journey, he is accompanied by three hobbit friends, [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]], [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]], and [[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]]. From the start, they are pursued by Black Riders (Sauron&#039;s Ringwraiths or Nazgûl). Narrowly escaping these and other dangers and meeting other interesting characters en route, they eventually come to [[Bree]], where they meet [[Aragorn|Strider]] (who ultimately reveals himself to be Aragorn, heir to the Throne of [[Gondor]]), another friend of Gandalf who leads them the rest of the way to Rivendell through further hardships. Frodo is stabbed upon the mountain of [[Weathertop]] by the [[Witch-king|chief of the Nazgûl]], with a &amp;quot;[[Morgul-knife|Morgul blade]]&amp;quot; — as part of the knife stays inside him, he gets sicker on the rest of the journey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Rivendell, Frodo meets his uncle Bilbo whom he had not seen since he left Hobbiton years before; Bilbo seems much older and weaker, and, for a terrible moment, is once again held in sway of the Ring. Bilbo, Gandalf, and others argue about what should be done with the One Ring. Finally, Frodo stands up, and willfully volunteers to go to [[Mordor]], where the Ring can be destroyed.  Frodo sets forth from Rivendell with eight companions: two Men, [[Aragorn]] and [[Boromir]], son of the [[Stewards of Gondor|Steward]] of the land of [[Gondor]]; an [[Elves|Elven]] prince, [[Legolas]]; Frodo&#039;s old friend and powerful wizard, Gandalf; [[Gimli]] the [[Dwarves|Dwarf]]; and Frodo&#039;s original three hobbit companions. These Nine Walkers were chosen to represent all the free races of Middle-earth and as a balance to the Nine Riders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their attempt to cross the [[Misty Mountains]] is foiled by heavy snow, so they are forced to take a path under the mountains via [[Moria]], an ancient Dwarf kingdom, now full of [[Orcs]] and other evil creatures, where Gandalf falls into the abyss after battling a [[Durin&#039;s Bane|Balrog]].&lt;br /&gt;
The remaining eight members of the Fellowship then spend some time in the Elf-haven of [[Lothlórien]], where they receive [[Gifts of Galadriel|gifts]] from the Elf queen [[Galadriel]] that in many cases prove useful later in the quest. They leave Lórien by river, but Frodo begins to realize the Ring is having a malevolent effect on some members of the party - especially Boromir, who tries to take the Ring from Frodo. In the process, Frodo puts it on to escape him. Later, Boromir is killed by Orcs while trying to defend Merry and Pippin, whom the Orcs capture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas, tracking Merry and Pippin, come across the [[Rohirrim|Riders of Rohan]] who tell them that they attacked the Orcs the previous night and left no survivors. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, Aragorn is able to find small prints and they follow these into [[Fangorn Forest]], where they meet a white wizard who they at first believe to be [[Saruman]], but who turns out to be their wizard friend Gandalf, whom they believed had perished in the mines of Moria. He tells them of his fall into the abyss, his battle to the death with the Balrog and his reawakening. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four ride to Rohan&#039;s capital, [[Edoras]], and persuade King [[Théoden]] that his people are in danger. In the process, Saruman&#039;s agent in Edoras, [[Gríma|Gríma Wormtongue]], who had been keeping Théoden subdued and weak for years, is expelled from the city. Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas then travel to the defensive fortification [[Helm&#039;s Deep]] while Gandalf goes north in search of [[Éomer]]&#039;s men in the north of [[Rohan]] to bring as reinforcements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hobbits Merry and Pippin escape from the Orcs who captured them when the orcs themselves are attacked by the Riders of Rohan. Merry and Pippin head into nearby Fangorn Forest where they encounter [[Treebeard]], a treelike giant known as an [[Ents|Ent]]. These guardians of the forest generally keep to themselves, but are moved to oppose the menace posed to the trees by the wizard Saruman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Helm&#039;s Deep, Théoden&#039;s forces resist an onslaught of Orcs and Men sent by Saruman, and Gandalf arrives the next morning with the Riders of Rohan just in time. The fleeing orcs run into a forest of [[Huorns]] — creatures halfway between tree and Ent — and none escape. Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Gandalf and the army of Rohan then head to Saruman&#039;s stronghold at [[Isengard]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Frodo and Sam discover Gollum stalking them as they try to reach [[Mount Doom]] to destroy the One Ring. Gollum hopes to reclaim the Ring. Sam loathes and distrusts him, but Frodo pities him, and so lets him live in return for guidance to Mount Doom. Gollum promises to lead them to a secret entrance to Mordor. Gollum, who is briefly torn between keeping his word to Frodo and reclaiming his &amp;quot;Precious,&amp;quot; is ominously overheard to say &amp;quot;[[Shelob|&#039;&#039;she&#039;&#039;]] might help us...&amp;quot; as he leads Frodo and Sam to [[Cirith Ungol]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Differences from the book ==&lt;br /&gt;
The movie makes a few deviations from the book, but overall follows Tolkien&#039;s narrative quite closely.  Many parts of the novel explaining the transition from one part of the plot to another were omitted which makes the middle part of the movie somewhat difficult to follow, if the viewer is unfamiliar with the story.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the film&#039;s prologue it is suggested that the Elves created the 19 [[Rings of Power]] for their Kings, and for those of the Dwarves and Men. Sauron then &#039;&#039;learned&#039;&#039; the craft of ring-making &#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039; that. In the original story it is Sauron who teaches the Elven smiths this ability, and only after their defiance he distributed them to the Dwarves and Men.&lt;br /&gt;
* Another prologue deviation suggests that the Last Alliance of Men and Elves was losing the war, which contradicts the original story.&lt;br /&gt;
* As in Tolkien&#039;s novel, Saruman the White adopts the title &amp;quot;Saruman of Many Colours&amp;quot;; however, his robes are neither white nor multi-coloured, but red.&lt;br /&gt;
* Saruman is sometimes called &amp;quot;Aruman&amp;quot;. It is believed that this name was derived to keep viewers from confusing the character with Sauron, but it is not done consistently.&lt;br /&gt;
* The film greatly condenses Frodo&#039;s journey from [[Bag End]] to [[Bree]]; for example, [[Crickhollow]], [[Brandy Hall]], the [[Old Forest]], and the [[Barrow-downs]] do not appear.  These segments were presumably eliminated (as they were in the Jackson films) for pacing reasons, as well as to intensify the Nazgûl&#039;s threat to the hobbits.  Because of this, [[Tom Bombadil]] also does not appear in the film.&lt;br /&gt;
* The scene where the Nazgûl arrive in the hobbits&#039; room at [[The Prancing Pony]] and begin slashing at their beds only to find that they are not there, and pillows have been placed to form the figures of their bodies is not in the book. A passage does appear that states that hobbit beds wind up slashed during the night, but the townsfolk of Bree are the perpetrators, not the Nazgûl. This scene also appears in Jackson&#039;s version.&lt;br /&gt;
* Just as in Jackson&#039;s films, the [[Glorfindel|first elf]] which the hobbits and Aragorn encounter on their journey is changed -- this time to [[Legolas]].&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Arwen]] does not appear, nor is she mentioned.&lt;br /&gt;
* Aragorn carries a broken sword (presumably [[Narsil]]) up to the Rivendell section of the story, where he presents it at the [[Council of Elrond]]. However, the sword&#039;s reforging into [[Andúril]] is never shown (or mentioned) in the film, even though Aragorn carries an unbroken blade for the remainder of the film.&lt;br /&gt;
* Gimli appears to be about the same height as the rest of the non-hobbits in the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
* There is no mention of the Uruk-hai, or, at least, they are not at all differentiated from the regular Orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Éowyn]] makes only a brief appearance and has no spoken dialogue.&lt;br /&gt;
* While [[Éomer]] is mentioned, he is never officially identified (thus, he also has no spoken dialogue).  Also, as in the Jackson films, it is &#039;&#039;he&#039;&#039; and his forces with whom Gandalf arrives near the end of the Battle of Helm&#039;s Deep instead of [[Erkenbrand]]&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Faramir]] does not appear, nor is he mentioned.&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;Fires of Isengard&amp;quot; appear as magical projectiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Production ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Animation===&lt;br /&gt;
Much of the film used live-action footage which was then rotoscoped to produce an animated look [http://www.ralphbakshi.com/biography/images/38.html] [http://www.ralphbakshi.com/biography/images/39.html]. This saved production costs and arguably gave the animated characters a more realistic look. For the live-action portion of the production, Bakshi and his cast and crew arrived in Spain where the rotoscope models acted out their parts in costume. The actions of [[Bilbo Baggins]] and [[Samwise Gamgee]] were performed by [[Billy Barty]].  [[Sharon Baird]] performed the part of [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] and [[John A. Neris]] was Gandalf[http://books.google.com/books?id=fTI1yeZd-tkC&amp;amp;pg=PA154&amp;amp;lpg=PA154&amp;amp;dq=%22aesop+aquarian%22+%22billy+barty%22+%22sharon+baird%22&amp;amp;source=web&amp;amp;ots=C5jvDP0VA9&amp;amp;sig=_W2bXiWtu0mfcOJYZOxMBjapJR8&amp;amp;hl=nl&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=book_result&amp;amp;resnum=1&amp;amp;ct=result].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the rotoscoping, Bakshi said &amp;quot;I didn&#039;t start thinking about shooting the film totally in live action until I saw it really start to work so well. I learned lots of things about the process, like rippling. One scene, some figures were standing on a hill and a big gust of wind came up and the shadows moved back and forth on the clothes and it was unbelievable in animation. I don&#039;t think I could get the feeling of cold on the screen without showing snow or an icicle on some guy&#039;s nose. The characters have weight and they move correctly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Making two pictures (the live action reference and the actual animated feature) in two years is crazy. Most directors when they finish editing, they are finished; we were just starting. I got more than I expected. The crew is young. The crew loves it. If the crew loves it, it&#039;s usually a great sign. They aren&#039;t older animators trying to snow me for jobs next year.&amp;quot;[http://www.jimhillmedia.com/article_printer.php?id=768] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the live-action shoot, each frame of the live footage was then broken down into individual frames, and then printed out, and placed behind animation cels. The details of each frame were copied and painted onto cels. Both the live-action and animated sequences were storyboarded. [http://www.ralphbakshi.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=5&amp;amp;pos=20] [http://www.ralphbakshi.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=5&amp;amp;pos=10] [http://www.ralphbakshi.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=5&amp;amp;pos=11]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Voice cast===&lt;br /&gt;
After finishing in Spain, Bakshi went to the [[BBC]]&#039;s recording studios in London. He cast several stars - William Squire, John Hurt - and used several of the BBC Repertory Company&#039;s stock actors, like Peter Woodthorpe, Anthony Daniels, Norman Bird and Michael Graham Cox. The actors recorded the lines with each other, but were required to pause for two seconds after each line, to smoothen the recording. This caused some stilted dialogue in the finished product[http://www.anthonydaniels.com/qa/index.html].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
The film was originally intended to be distributed as &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;The Lord of the Rings, Part One&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;, but United Artists dropped the &amp;quot;Part One&amp;quot; from the title, believing moviegoers would not pay full ticket prices to see half a movie.  Says Ralph Bakshi: &amp;quot;United Artists at that time was terrified to say &#039;Part One.&#039; I remember sitting in meetings screaming my head off saying, &#039;You can&#039;t do this!&#039;  Had it said &#039;Part One,&#039; I think everyone would have respected it. But because it didn&#039;t say &#039;Part One,&#039; everyone came in expecting to see the entire three books, and that&#039;s where the confusion comes in&amp;quot; [http://www.tolkiengesellschaft.de/v4/alleszutolkien/filme/bakshi/bakshisoutingheute.shtml]. In interviews, Bakshi sometimes referred to the film as &#039;&#039;The Lord of the Rings, Part One.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Critics were generally mixed in their responses to the film.  Roger Ebert called Bakshi&#039;s effort a &amp;quot;mixed blessing&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;an entirely respectable, occasionally impressive job ... [which] still falls far short of the charm and sweep of the original story.&amp;quot; Vincent Canby of the &#039;&#039;New York Times&#039;&#039; called the film &amp;quot;both numbing and impressive&amp;quot;. Film website Rotten Tomatoes, which compiles reviews from a wide range of critics, gives the film a score of 50.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite criticism, the film grossed $30,471,420 at the box office[http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=lordoftherings78.htm] (the budget was $8 million), but United Artists, who believed the film to be a flop, refused to fund a sequel which would have completed Tolkien&#039;s story on film.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Follow-up==&lt;br /&gt;
In light of the theatrical &#039;&#039;The Lord of the Rings, Part Two&#039;&#039; adaptation being scrapped, a means of &amp;quot;finishing&amp;quot; Tolkien&#039;s story and making it more complete for audiences then inadvertently fell on the [[Rankin/Bass]] animation studio (fresh on the heels of the success of its previous [[The Hobbit (1977 film)|TV adaptation of &#039;&#039;The Hobbit&#039;&#039;]]) in producing an animated TV special based on the [[The Return of the King|final part]] of &#039;&#039;The Lord of the Rings&#039;&#039;. Their adaptation of &#039;&#039;[[The Return of the King (1980 film)|The Return of the King]]&#039;&#039; finished the story and answered most of the questions raised by Bakshi&#039;s animated film.  Despite this, several unresolved story developments between the ending of &#039;&#039;The Lord of the Rings&#039;&#039; and the beginning of &#039;&#039;The Return of the King&#039;&#039; were left unexplained, especially the Ents&#039; march on Isengard (along with Merry eventually taking up with the Army of Rohan, and Gandalf and Pippin&#039;s subsequent journey to Gondor), the betrayal of Frodo by Gollum, and the attack of [[Shelob]] the monster spider-creature on Frodo and Sam.  It should be noted, however, that production for this Rankin/Bass follow-up had begun even before their version of &#039;&#039;The Hobbit&#039;&#039; had originally aired (let alone before Bakshi&#039;s theatrical film had premiered)[http://www.nytimes.com/1977/11/27/books/tolkien-hobbitani.html?_r=0], so Rankin/Bass can&#039;t be entirely blamed for this flaw in continuity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Warner Bros.]] (the rights holder to the post-1974 Rankin/Bass library and most of the Saul Zaentz theatrical backlog) has released &#039;&#039;The Hobbit,&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;The Lord of the Rings,&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;The Return of the King&#039;&#039; on VHS and DVD, both packaged separately and as a boxed-set &amp;quot;trilogy&amp;quot; of films.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Sack of Erebor&#039;&#039;&#039; occurred when [[Smaug]] attacked the [[Lonely Mountain]] and drove the [[Dwarves of Erebor]] from their capital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
After the slaying of King [[Dáin I]] outside his [[Dáin&#039;s halls|halls]] at the conclusion of the [[War of the Dwarves and Dragons]], the new King, Thrór, and his brother [[Grór]] abandoned the [[Grey Mountains]] for safer dwellings with most of their subjects. The king went to the Lonely Mountain (former seat of the Durin&#039;s throne), and Grór to the primary source of the Longbeards&#039; iron supply, the [[Iron Hills]]. &lt;br /&gt;
Over the years the [[Dwarves of Erebor]] gained great renown throughout Middle-earth for the splendor of their halls, craftsmanship, and great stores of wealth. Word eventually reached Smaug the dragon, one of the great fire drakes who now dwelled in the Grey Mountains, who in his lust for treasure desired to take the mountain.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Party&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{H|1}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Battle ==&lt;br /&gt;
One night in {{TA|2770}}, Smaug descended upon the mountain in flames, catching the Dwarves and [[Men of Dale]] off guard.  The warriors of the mountain came out of the [[Front Gate|great gate]] to engage the dragon, but all were killed.  Then Smaug attacked [[Dale]] whose warriors were all called to arms, and destroyed most of them.  He then returned to the mountain and routed the remaining Dwarves.  Afterwards he piled up all the gold within the mountain and made it his dwelling, emerging only ever so often to eat maidens from Dale which eventually caused its abandonment.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Party&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Aftermath ==&lt;br /&gt;
In the end the [[Kingdom under the Mountain]] was destroyed, and likely thousands of Dwarves and several hundred people (including King [[Girion]]) of Dale were killed.  King [[Thrór]] himself along with his son [[Thráin|Thráin II]] barely escaped out of the [[Back Door|secret entrance]].  Most of the Dwarves who escaped fled to the [[Iron Hills]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{UT|Erebor}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With his family and a small company of followers, the King went into a homeless wandering southward but not before cursing Smaug.  It would be almost two hundred years before Thrór&#039;s grandson [[Thorin]] would return to the mountain to reclaim his home and treasure.&lt;br /&gt;

Hi Dio. Your enthusiasm is great and I&#039;m looking forward to seeing you flourish as an editor. I have just noticed, though that since you&#039;ve joined you&#039;ve made 186 edits, of which 143 (76.88%) are to your user page. Whilst we have no restrictions on individuals&#039; user pages, this isn&#039;t a fan fiction wiki so if you are looking for that to continue to be your focus I probably suggest there might be better platforms to host your works? --{{User:Mith/sig}} 17:04, 20 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

{{disambig-more|Lonely Mountain|[[Lonely Mountain (disambiguation)]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Jef Murray - The Lonely Mountain 2.jpg|thumb|[[Jef Murray]] - &#039;&#039;The Lonely Mountain&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug - Erebor.jpg|thumb|Erebor, as it appeared in [[The Hobbit (film series)|&#039;&#039;The Hobbit&#039;&#039; film trilogy]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Lonely Mountain&#039;&#039;&#039;, or &#039;&#039;&#039;Erebor&#039;&#039;&#039;, was a mountain in the north-east of  [[Rhovanion]]. It was the source of the river [[River Running|Running]], and a major [[Dwarves|Dwarven]] [[Dwarf realms|stronghold]], the [[Kingdom under the Mountain]] at the end of the [[Third Age]] and well into the [[Fourth Age|Fourth]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Longbeards]] had control of the mountain since at least the early [[Second Age]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{PM|Relations}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Angus McBride - Dale.jpg|thumb|left|[[Angus McBride]] - &#039;&#039;Dale&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
With the awakening of [[Durin&#039;s Bane]] in the capital of [[Moria|Khazad-dûm]], [[Thráin I]] led some Dwarves to Erebor. They dug its caves and halls forming an underground city, and established the [[Kingdom under the Mountain]] in {{TA|1999}}.&amp;lt;ref name=ta&amp;gt;{{App|TA}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During Thráin&#039;s rule many riches were mined from its depths, like the [[Arkenstone]]. The town of [[Dale]] was also built by [[Men of Dale|Men]] between its slopes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thráin&#039;s son [[Thorin I]] abandoned the Mountain in {{TA|2210}} for the [[Grey Mountains]]; but after the [[War of the Dwarves and Dragons]], in {{TA|2590}}, King [[Thrór]] led a group back to the Lonely Mountain, re-establishing it as the capital of Durin&#039;s folk.&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Sack of Erebor]]===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:John Howe - Smaug.jpg|thumb|[[John Howe]] - &#039;&#039;Smaug&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The great dragon [[Smaug]] had lust for the Dwarven riches and in {{TA|2770}} he descended on the mountain driving out the Dwarves and destroying the town of [[Dale]]. The Lonely Mountain was empty for almost two hundred years, save Smaug who slept in the innermost chamber on a great pile of wealth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the year {{TA|2941}} with Gandalf&#039;s council, King [[Thorin II]] and a small company of friends and family actually made it to the Lonely Mountain. After the Dragon Smaug had realized that the Dwarves had been helped by the [[Lake-men]] he went to their town of [[Lake-town|Esgaroth]] intent on destroying them, only to be killed by a man named [[Bard]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Longbeards===&lt;br /&gt;
With the help of a [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] named [[Bilbo Baggins]] Thorin and company were able to retake the city and the treasure, therefore allowing Thorin to proclaim himself [[King under the Mountain]]. But after refusing to give any of the treasure to the Men of Esgaroth, and the [[Elves of Mirkwood]], the mountain and the Dwarves and Hobbit in it were put under a bloodless siege.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Matt Stewart - The Battle Under the Mountain.jpg|thumb|left|[[Matt Stewart]] - &#039;&#039;The Battle Under the Mountain&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Things nearly came to blows when Thorin&#039;s cousin [[Dáin Ironfoot]] (Grór&#039;s grandson) arrived as aid to his kinsman and nearly went to battle against the besiegers. But Gandalf interceded and warned them all of a great host of [[Orcs]] and [[Wargs]] coming to take the mountain. So the Elves, Men, and Dwarves made an alliance, and fought a [[Battle of Five Armies|bloody battle]] against their foes in the valley before the gate. In the end the defenders were victorious against the Orcs and Wargs. Thorin was mortally wounded during the battle, but finally, after so many years of longing, Dáin returned the Longbeards to the Lonely Mountain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many years later, during the [[War of the Ring]], conflict broke out between Dale and the [[East]] and eventually Men and Dwarves retreated into the mountain. King [[Brand]] and King Dáin were killed at its very gates. The Dwarves and Men held out for several days until word reached the ears of the Easterlings that the great hosts of Sauron in the south had been defeated in the [[Battle of the Morannon]]. With this news fear fell on the besiegers. When the besieged saw this they came forth from the Lonely Mountain, and attacked their enemy driving them from Dale across the Running.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erebor and Dale continued to prosper into the [[Fourth Age]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The Lonely Mountain was possibly 3,500 meters tall, as it was snowcapped at spring. Geologically, it was rich in metals and jewels.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Karen Fonstad]] &#039;&#039;[[The Atlas of Middle-earth]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mountain was star-shaped with six ridges radiating as spurs from the peak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The south-western spur contained [[Ravenhill]] housing a Dwarven guard-post. Between the two western spurs was a narrow vale which was the exit of the [[Back Door]], behind an overhanging cliff. Rough steps ascended to the top of the southern ridge along a narrow ledge turning east behind a boulder into a steep bay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside, the mountain was dug with passages and tunnels leading to cellars and halls and mansions such as the great chamber of Thrór near the Front Gate. A secret tunnel led to the &amp;quot;bottommost cellar&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main entrance into the mountain was the [[Front Gate|Gate of Erebor]] on the south side, opening onto a valley between two great spurs of the mountain. The [[River Running]] sprang from beneath the mountain and issued from the [[Front Gate]], forming a waterfall that fell into the valley below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the gate was a broad paved road that went alongside the river in a wide curve leading into the mountain. Not very far from the entrance was the [[Great Chamber of Thrór]] where feasts and councils were held.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Lower Halls, there was a vast chamber called the [[Great Hall of Thráin]] at the root of the mountain. From there a secret passageway led to a hidden door in the western side of the mountain. The [[Back Door]] was invisible from the outside except on Durin&#039;s Day, when the light of the setting sun would reveal the keyhole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Pronounce|Erebor.mp3|Ardamir}}&lt;br /&gt;
Erebor is the [[Sindarin]] translation of &amp;quot;Lonely Mountain&amp;quot; and can be analyzed as &#039;&#039;[[ereb]]&#039;&#039; + &#039;&#039;[[orod|or(od)]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Fíli&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{TA|2859}} – {{TA|2941|n}},&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Line&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{App|Durin}}, The Line of the Dwarves of Erebor&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; 82 years old) was one of the thirteen [[Dwarves]] who took part in the [[Quest of Erebor|quest]] for [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], which was [[Bilbo Baggins]]&#039;s great adventure.  He was one of the three Dwarves of [[Thorin and Company|Thorin&#039;s company]] who did not survive the [[Battle of Five Armies]] (the other two being his uncle [[Thorin]] and his brother [[Kíli]].)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fíli and Kíli were the sons of [[Dís]], the sister of [[Thorin]].  Before the quest to Erebor, they probably lived in the [[Blue Mountains]] where their uncle resided after the disappearance of [[Thráin|Thráin II]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Line&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;  As Thorin&#039;s sister-sons, they accompanied their uncle when he set out to challenge the [[Dragons|dragon]] [[Smaug]].  Before the Dwarves met Bilbo, [[Gandalf]] met with them and persuaded them to bring the hobbit on the quest.  At this meeting Fíli thought that Bilbo sounded like a strange creature and laughed at his name.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{UT|Erebor}}, &#039;&#039;Extracts from the earlier version&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Quest of Erebor==&lt;br /&gt;
When Bilbo first met Fíli and Kíli (in the third group of Dwarves to arrive at [[Bag End]]) they were wearing blue hoods.  After supper,  Fíli and Kíli played small fiddles that they had brought in bags.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{H|Party}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The brothers were the youngest of the company by some 50 years,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hill&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{H|Hill}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with Kíli being five years younger than his brother.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Line&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;   Although not twins, the two brothers were inseparable throughout the adventure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Adlpictures - Fili.jpg|200px|thumb|Adlpictures - &#039;&#039;Fíli&#039;&#039;]]Early on the night when the company encountered the [[Trolls]] one of the ponies became frightened and bolted into the river; Fíli and Kíli nearly drowned getting the beast out of the water.  After the trolls had turned to stone and the company explored their hideout, it was Fíli who encouraged the others to get out of the &amp;quot;horrible smell&amp;quot; in the troll&#039;s lair.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{H|Mutton}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Up in the [[Misty Mountains]] during the thunder-battle the two brothers, being the youngest Dwarves with the keenest eyes, were sent ahead to look for shelter.  They found a small dry cave which was perfect for the company (until the [[Orcs#Orcs and Goblins|Gobins]] arrived).  After [[Gandalf]] had rescued the company and was counting the members he found Fíli and Kíli, as usual, paired together.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Hill&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the company rushed up into trees to escape the [[wargs]], Fíli and Kíli scrambled to the top of a tall larch.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{H|Pan}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The next day, when the company arrived at [[Beorn|Beorn&#039;s]] [[Beorn&#039;s Hall|Hall]], Fíli and Kíli were again together as the fourth pair of Dwarves to appear during Gandalf&#039;s story.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{H|Queer}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Bilbo spied the boat on the far side of the [[Enchanted River]], Thorin chose Fíli as the youngest&amp;lt;ref group=&amp;quot;note&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In &#039;&#039;[[The Hobbit]]&#039;&#039; Thorin called Fíli the youngest, but in [[Appendix A]] Fíli&#039;s date of birth was given as {{TA|2859}} while Kíli&#039;s date of birth was given as {{TA|2864|n}}.  Perhaps Thorin had trouble remembering the ages of these two &amp;quot;very young&amp;quot; Dwarves (both of whom were under age 85 at the time of the quest).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with the best sight (instead of [[Dori]], the strongest) to throw a rope with a hook attached to snag the small vessel.  Fíli did manage to snag the boat on the second try but could not pull it across.  Kíli came to his aid first, followed by [[Óin]] and [[Glóin]], before the boat came loose (after its painter snapped).   When the company made the crossing they used another rope that Fíli threw ahead into the trees since the boat had no oars.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Flies&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{H|Flies}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Dwarves had been captured by [[spiders]] Bilbo climbed out on the branch where the spiders had trussed up the Dwarves.  The first bundle that Bilbo reached was Fíli, whom the hobbit recognized by the tips of his blue hood and long nose poking out of the threads.&amp;lt;ref group=&amp;quot;note&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The fact that Bilbo recognized Fíli by his long nose (as opposed to Kíli) shows that the two brothers were not identical in appearance.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Once freed, Fíli helped Bilbo free the other Dwarves despite being sickened by spider-poison.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Flies&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the escape from the halls of the [[Thranduil|Elvenking]], Fíli and Kíli came out smiling since they were young and had but few bruises.  The two brothers helped Thorin and Bilbo locate and free the other Dwarves.  Next, they accompanied Thorin and Bilbo to the bridge into [[Lake-town|Esgaroth]] while the others recovered and  Fíli was the most impatient to see the [[Master of Lake-town]] at his feast.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{H|Welcome}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the company reached the Lonely Mountain, Thorin sent out a scouting party to view the Front Gate (or where it once stood).  Fíli and Kíli went along with [[Balin]] and Bilbo on this expedition.  On another scouting trip Bilbo was with Fíli and Kíli when the three discovered the rough steps that led up the mountain to the little bay that contained the secret door.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{H|Doorstep}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the thirteen Dwarves, Fíli and Kíli looked uncomfortable when Bilbo asked for volunteers to accompany him on the first trip into the mountain (only Balin went with the hobbit for part of the way).  Once the dragon woke up though Fíli and Kíli, along with Bilbo and Balin, were the first to go in the tunnel (sent in by Thorin).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{H|Inside}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While searching the treasure when the full company descended into Erebor, Fíli and Kíli were in such exuberant spirits that they took down magic golden harps and played music on them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{H|Home}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fíli was slain with his brother in the [[Battle of Five Armies]], while defending their mortally wounded uncle.&amp;lt;Ref&amp;gt;{{H|Return}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  After Thorin&#039;s death, the brothers would have been the only remaining descendants of [[Thrór]]&#039;s line and Fíli would have inherited the title of [[King under the Mountain]].  Their deaths ended the dynasty, and the title passed to [[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin II]].  It was their heroic last stand that made their mother the only [[Dwarf-women|Dwarf-woman]] to be mentioned in the genealogies.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Line&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Fíli&#039;&#039; is a dwarf from the &#039;&#039;[[Völuspá|Dvergatal]]&#039;&#039;. It can mean &amp;quot;File&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Filer&amp;quot;; it is of Frisian or Low German origin rather than Old Norse.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Chester Nathan Gould, &amp;quot;Dwarf-Names: A Study in Old Icelandic Religion&amp;quot;, published in &#039;&#039;Publications of the Modern Language Association of America&#039;&#039;, Vol 44 (1929), issue #4, pp. 939-967&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In the [[Battle of Five Armies]], he goes to assist [[Thorin]] (along with [[Kíli]] and [[Dwalin]]) at the top of [[Ravenhill]] in an attempt to kill the [[Orcs|Orc]] army&#039;s leader, [[Azog]]. However, when searching for the Pale Orc, Fíli is cornered by him and some of his soldiers. Azog then takes Fíli out in front of the other Dwarves, impales him with the sword attached to his left arm, and drops his body onto the rock below him as the others watch in horror.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Ghân-buri-Ghân&#039;&#039;&#039; was the chief of the [[Drúedain]] who inhabited [[Drúadan Forest]] in the late [[Third Age]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ride&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{RK|V5}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
__NOTOC__&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
He was the son of [[Ghân]] with whom he shared his name, and became the chief of his tribe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[War of the Ring]], Ghân-buri-Ghân helped King [[Théoden]] and the [[Rohirrim]] to avoid an army of [[Orcs]] by taking them through the secret pass of [[Stonewain Valley]]. This allowed the Rohirrim to arrive in time to fight the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]]. In return, Théoden promised that the people of [[Rohan]] would no longer trouble the Drúedain and would drive away the &#039;&#039;[[Gorgûn]]&#039;&#039; (Orcs), that hunted them.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Ride&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the War of the Ring, [[Aragorn]], as [[High King of the Dúnedain|High King]] of the [[Reunited Kingdom]], issued the decree that Drúadan Forest belonged to only Ghân and his people, and that no one else was allowed to enter the forest without their permission.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{RK|Partings}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ghân-buri-Ghân (snapshot).jpg|thumb|left|Ghân-buri-Ghân in &#039;&#039;[[The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game]]&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Ghân-buri-Ghân&#039;&#039; means &amp;quot;Ghân son of Ghân&amp;quot; (&#039;&#039;[[Ghân]]&#039;&#039; + &#039;&#039;[[buri]]&#039;&#039;).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{PE|17}}, p. 99&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:Although Ghân-buri-Ghân does not appear in [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|&#039;&#039;The Lord of the Rings&#039;&#039; film series]], Decipher produced a card for the character. He was portrayed by [[Wi Kuki Kaa]].&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in T.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Joe swung his great golden blade round and round. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Fellowship arrived in Minas Gurth, they were surrounded by archers from the band of outlaws they were chasing. Their leader, a Noldorin elf named Arthon charged at the Fellowship with the whole band of outlaws. Seeing as the other members of the Fellowship were scared and nervous, Bob charged in on his own and engaged all of the outlaws with just his magic flaming blade. Bob lit the town on fire and slew many outlaws. The other members of the Fellowship charged in after Bob, except for Maethon and Billy who pulled out their bows and shot at the outlaws from afar. Soon they successfully killed all of the outlaws and retrieved the Book of Arnor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, while the group was going back to Arnor, Maethon revealed his evil intentions and tried to steal the Book of Arnor. Billy drew his bow and aimed it at Maethon. Maethon cut Billy&#039;s bow and slew him. Bob and the others, horrified, charged at Maethon. Tom throws his spear at Maethon. Maethon dodges by jumping up into a tree. Bob throws his spear at the tree, cutting the branch Maethon is on. Maethon jumps off the branch and fights Joe. Joe is pushed into a river, and gets back up. Bob and Bert take on Maethon, and succeed in overwhelming him, but Maethon escapes. The remaining members of the Fellowship, Bob, Bert, and Joe, go back to Arnor. They give the Book back to Eldacar and get paid handsomely. The Fellowship becomes an official mercenary group and makes its base in Ostsarnrath. Bert becomes High Scribe of Ostsarnrath and begins to write a book detailing the Fellowship&#039;s adventures, called, The Fellowship of the Book. The rest of the Fellowship make their homes in Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Three&amp;gt;The Fellowship of the Book by High Scribe Bert of Gondor&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Quest for the Golden Sword===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is T.A 351. The Fellowship is in the middle of an obscure, shady town.. They are hunting down Maethon. Bob has become the leader of the Fellowship. Torthion has joined in the hunt also, and has brought his two trusty aides, Eithon and Orthrodir. Both were twins who were skilled with bows and daggers, and thus were the perfect match for Maethon. Bob and the Fellowship were going around asking shady people about the whereabouts of Maethon, when they heard that Maethon was on a quest. A quest to recover the legendary golden sword, Maltirith. It was a legendary sword, forged by the Dwarves of Belegost. It was a magical blade, and it was extremely powerful. The Fellowship determined to find it before Maethon could.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship departed for the [[Blue Mountains]], but not before hiring two other skilled mercenaries to join the Fellowship. They hired an Arnorian mercenary named Willy Walker, a dunedain ranger. He fought with a sword and a bow, and was very skilled with both. The other one was a mysterious ranger named Mark Question. Mark was skilled with daggers and swords. He carried around a round shield, that had hints of magic on it. It was unbreakable. So the Fellowship&#039;s numbers grew to nine, and they departed for the Blue Mountains.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Halfway on the journey, they stopped at a mysterious fountain, where they took a drink. Unbeknownst to them, the fountain was magical and it gave anti-aging to its drinkers. After they drunk, they set up camp at the fountain, but they were attacked by orcs. So they defended their camp. Willy took the high ground and sniped at the orcs with his bow. Bob, Torthion, and Mark charged at the orcs. Eithon and Orthrondir and Tom and Joe came after, decimating the orcs. Bert remained inside the tent, chronicling the battle in his book, The Fellowship of the Book.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Éogan&#039;&#039;&#039; is a character created specifically for &#039;&#039;[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]&#039;&#039;. He was originally one of the Men of Angmar, the [[Angmarim]], but became the second-in-command of the [[Blackwolds]], and eventually their chieftain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He led an attack on [[Archet]], attempting to find the treasure they were looking for from two [[Hobbits]]. He managed to slay the town&#039;s captain, [[Jon Brackenbrook|Jon Brackenbrook&#039;s]] father, but was wounded himself in the attack. He fled after he learned the two Hobbits staying in Archet weren&#039;t the ones he was looking for.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{VGC|SAIB}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Dwarves of Khazad-dûm&#039;&#039;&#039; were the [[Dwarves]] of [[Durin&#039;s Folk]] who mined and worked mithril for long ages in the halls of [[Moria|Khazad-dûm]], and who had the friendship of the [[Elves]] of [[Eregion]] during the [[Second Age]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===First Age===&lt;br /&gt;
Khazad-dûm is the oldest and most famous of the Kingdoms of the Dwarves. It was the home of Durin, the first of the Dwarf Fathers. He began to work on the mansions after finding caves in the [[Misty Mountains]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Durin the Deathless thus became King Durin I of Khazad-dûm and ruled for many years, causing him to be named &amp;quot;Durin the Deathless&amp;quot; until he died during the [[First Age]]. Afterwards, other rulers of Khazad-dûm were sometimes named Durin, as they were considered to be his reincarnations, who the dwarves believed came to live again among his people.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Durin&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{App|Durin}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dwarves of Khazad-dûm also colonized the [[Iron Hills]], which became Durin&#039;s Folk&#039;s primary source of iron-ore.&amp;lt;ref name=relations&amp;gt;{{PM|Relations}}, pp. 302-303&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Second Age===&lt;br /&gt;
In the second age, the Dwarves were joined by the [[Dwarves of the Blue Mountains]], fleeing the ruin of [[Belegost]] and [[Nogrod]]. Their numbers were enriched by them, as well as their craft and skill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around that time, Khazad-dûm was in a confederation with [[Men]] of the [[Vales of Anduin]], where the Men provided food in return for Dwarven weapons and precious items. This cooperation continued until the reign of [[Durin IV]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Dwarves&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{PM|Dwarves}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also fleeing the destruction, the [[Noldor]] founded a country of their own by the western gate of Khazad-dûm, [[Eregion]]. A rare friendship sprang up between the Dwarves and the Elves of this new land. By that time, Khazad-dûm had expanded so much that it completely traversed the Mountains from east to west, ending to the western rocky cliffs at their base, the [[Walls of Moria]].&amp;lt;ref name=Journey&amp;gt;{{FR|II4}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Narvi]] with Eregion&#039;s ruler, [[Celebrimbor]], constructed the magical [[Doors of Durin|West-gate of Moria]], and indeed Celebrimbor went so far as to present King [[Durin III]] with an Elven [[Rings of Power|Ring of Power]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Durin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The friendship of Khazad-dûm and Eregion came to a sudden end, however, in {{SA|1697}}. [[Sauron]] [[Sack of Eregion|overran]] the country of the Elves, and despite the best efforts of the Dwarves to help them, he succeeded in destroying Eregion and driving away  the survivors. Durin sent a great force of Dwarves to protect the Doors of Durin, but with the Elves dead or fleeing far away his warriors withdrew and the gates to the city were shut against Sauron, also secluding the kingdom off from the outside world&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{App|SA}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and communication with their [[Dwarves of the Iron Hills|kinsmen]] in the [[Iron Hills]] was cut off.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{PM|Relations}}, p. 306&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their seclusion was broken for a time with the beginning of the [[War of the Last Alliance]]. The Dwarves of Moria fought alongside the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]] in their campaign to defeat Sauron for the last time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{S|Rings}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; With the conclusion of the War the Dwarves went back to their city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Third Age===&lt;br /&gt;
The Dwarves of Moria remained secured and safe since the [[Dark Years]], until their numbers dwindled and many of its mansions emptied.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{App|TA}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Most of the Dwarves&#039;s great wealth was based on the &#039;&#039;[[Mithril]]&#039;&#039; that was found in the mines of Moria, and as the centuries passed, they mined deeper and deeper for the precious metal. In the year {{TA|1980}}, they dug too deep, and unleashed a nameless terror from the depths beneath the city. The creature wreaked dreadful destruction, and in slaying the King, [[Durin VI]], became known as [[Durin&#039;s Bane]]. In the following year, Durin&#039;s son, [[Náin I]], was also lost, and the Dwarves fled their ancient home. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dwarven people separated and joined [[Dwarves of the Grey Mountains|their folk]] at the [[Grey Mountains]] although others followed the King to [[Erebor]] to found [[Kingdom under the Mountain|another Kingdom]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Descendants of the Dwarves of Moria, [[Bifur]], [[Bofur]] and [[Bombur]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Durin&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; and some members of the [[House of Durin]], [[Thorin and Company|joined]] King in exile [[Thorin II Oakenshield]] to reclaim Erebor in {{TA|2941}}.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

NOTICE: This character is non-canon and is not part of [[Tolkien&#039;s Legendarium]]. He is a fan-made character made by me, [[User:Dio|Dio]]. --[[User:Dio|Dio]] 22:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in T.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Joe swung his great golden blade round and round. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Fellowship arrived in Minas Gurth, they were surrounded by archers from the band of outlaws they were chasing. Their leader, a Noldorin elf named Arthon charged at the Fellowship with the whole band of outlaws. Seeing as the other members of the Fellowship were scared and nervous, Bob charged in on his own and engaged all of the outlaws with just his magic flaming blade. Bob lit the town on fire and slew many outlaws. The other members of the Fellowship charged in after Bob, except for Maethon and Billy who pulled out their bows and shot at the outlaws from afar. Soon they successfully killed all of the outlaws and retrieved the Book of Arnor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, while the group was going back to Arnor, Maethon revealed his evil intentions and tried to steal the Book of Arnor. Billy drew his bow and aimed it at Maethon. Maethon cut Billy&#039;s bow and slew him. Bob and the others, horrified, charged at Maethon. Tom throws his spear at Maethon. Maethon dodges by jumping up into a tree. Bob throws his spear at the tree, cutting the branch Maethon is on. Maethon jumps off the branch and fights Joe. Joe is pushed into a river, and gets back up. Bob and Bert take on Maethon, and succeed in overwhelming him, but Maethon escapes. The remaining members of the Fellowship, Bob, Bert, and Joe, go back to Arnor. They give the Book back to Eldacar and get paid handsomely. The Fellowship becomes an official mercenary group and makes its base in Ostsarnrath. Bert becomes High Scribe of Ostsarnrath and begins to write a book detailing the Fellowship&#039;s adventures, called, The Fellowship of the Book. The rest of the Fellowship make their homes in Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Three&amp;gt;The Fellowship of the Book by High Scribe Bert of Gondor&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Quest for the Golden Sword===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is T.A 351. The Fellowship is in the middle of an obscure, shady town.. They are hunting down Maethon. Bob has become the leader of the Fellowship. Torthion has joined in the hunt also, and has brought his two trusty aides, Eithon and Orthrodir. Both were twins who were skilled with bows and daggers, and thus were the perfect match for Maethon. Bob and the Fellowship were going around asking shady people about the whereabouts of Maethon, when they heard that Maethon was on a quest. A quest to recover the legendary golden sword, Maltirith. It was a legendary sword, forged by the Dwarves of Belegost. It was a magical blade, and it was extremely powerful. The Fellowship determined to find it before Maethon could.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship departed for the [[Blue Mountains]], but not before hiring two other skilled mercenaries to join the Fellowship. They hired an Arnorian mercenary named Willy Walker, a dunedain ranger. He fought with a sword and a bow, and was very skilled with both. The other one was a mysterious ranger named Mark Question. Mark was skilled with daggers and swords. He carried around a round shield, that had hints of magic on it. It was unbreakable. So the Fellowship&#039;s numbers grew to nine, and they departed for the Blue Mountains.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Halfway on the journey, they stopped at a mysterious fountain, where they took a drink. Unbeknownst to them, the fountain was magical and it gave anti-aging to its drinkers. After they drunk, they set up camp at the fountain, but they were attacked by orcs. So they defended their camp. Willy took the high ground and sniped at the orcs with his bow. Bob, Torthion, and Mark charged at the orcs. Eithon and Orthrondir and Tom and Joe came after, decimating the orcs. Bert remained inside the tent, chronicling the battle in his book, The Fellowship of the Book.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

NOTICE: This character is non-canon and is not part of [[Tolkien&#039;s Legendarium]]. He is a fan-made character made by me, [[User:Dio|Dio]]. --[[User:Dio|Dio]] 22:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in T.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Joe swung his great golden blade round and round. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Fellowship arrived in Minas Gurth, they were surrounded by archers from the band of outlaws they were chasing. Their leader, a Noldorin elf named Arthon charged at the Fellowship with the whole band of outlaws. Seeing as the other members of the Fellowship were scared and nervous, Bob charged in on his own and engaged all of the outlaws with just his magic flaming blade. Bob lit the town on fire and slew many outlaws. The other members of the Fellowship charged in after Bob, except for Maethon and Billy who pulled out their bows and shot at the outlaws from afar. Soon they successfully killed all of the outlaws and retrieved the Book of Arnor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, while the group was going back to Arnor, Maethon revealed his evil intentions and tried to steal the Book of Arnor. Billy drew his bow and aimed it at Maethon. Maethon cut Billy&#039;s bow and slew him. Bob and the others, horrified, charged at Maethon. Tom throws his spear at Maethon. Maethon dodges by jumping up into a tree. Bob throws his spear at the tree, cutting the branch Maethon is on. Maethon jumps off the branch and fights Joe. Joe is pushed into a river, and gets back up. Bob and Bert take on Maethon, and succeed in overwhelming him, but Maethon escapes. The remaining members of the Fellowship, Bob, Bert, and Joe, go back to Arnor. They give the Book back to Eldacar and get paid handsomely. The Fellowship becomes an official mercenary group and makes its base in Ostsarnrath. Bert becomes High Scribe of Ostsarnrath and begins to write a book detailing the Fellowship&#039;s adventures, called, The Fellowship of the Book. The rest of the Fellowship make their homes in Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Three&amp;gt;The Fellowship of the Book by High Scribe Bert of Gondor&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Quest for the Golden Sword===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is T.A 351. The Fellowship is in the middle of an obscure, shady town.. They are hunting down Maethon. Bob has become the leader of the Fellowship. Torthion has joined in the hunt also, and has brought his two trusty aides, Eithon and Orthrodir. Both were twins who were skilled with bows and daggers, and thus were the perfect match for Maethon. Bob and the Fellowship were going around asking shady people about the whereabouts of Maethon, when they heard that Maethon was on a quest. A quest to recover the legendary golden sword, Maltirith. It was a legendary sword, forged by the Dwarves of Belegost. It was a magical blade, and it was extremely powerful. The Fellowship determined to find it before Maethon could.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship departed for the [[Blue Mountains]], but not before hiring two other skilled mercenaries to join the Fellowship. They hired an Arnorian mercenary named Willy Walker, a dunedain ranger. He fought with a sword and a bow, and was very skilled with both. The other one was a mysterious ranger named Mark Question. Mark was skilled with daggers and swords. He carried around a round shield, that had hints of magic on it. It was unbreakable. So the Fellowship&#039;s numbers grew to nine, and they departed for the Blue Mountains.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;MORE PARTS COMING SOON!!!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in T.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Joe swung his great golden blade round and round. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Fellowship arrived in Minas Gurth, they were surrounded by archers from the band of outlaws they were chasing. Their leader, a Noldorin elf named Arthon charged at the Fellowship with the whole band of outlaws. Seeing as the other members of the Fellowship were scared and nervous, Bob charged in on his own and engaged all of the outlaws with just his magic flaming blade. Bob lit the town on fire and slew many outlaws. The other members of the Fellowship charged in after Bob, except for Maethon and Billy who pulled out their bows and shot at the outlaws from afar. Soon they successfully killed all of the outlaws and retrieved the Book of Arnor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, while the group was going back to Arnor, Maethon revealed his evil intentions and tried to steal the Book of Arnor. Billy drew his bow and aimed it at Maethon. Maethon cut Billy&#039;s bow and slew him. Bob and the others, horrified, charged at Maethon. Tom throws his spear at Maethon. Maethon dodges by jumping up into a tree. Bob throws his spear at the tree, cutting the branch Maethon is on. Maethon jumps off the branch and fights Joe. Joe is pushed into a river, and gets back up. Bob and Bert take on Maethon, and succeed in overwhelming him, but Maethon escapes. The remaining members of the Fellowship, Bob, Bert, and Joe, go back to Arnor. They give the Book back to Eldacar and get paid handsomely. The Fellowship becomes an official mercenary group and makes its base in Ostsarnrath. Bert becomes High Scribe of Ostsarnrath and begins to write a book detailing the Fellowship&#039;s adventures, called, The Fellowship of the Book. The rest of the Fellowship make their homes in Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Three&amp;gt;The Fellowship of the Book by High Scribe Bert of Gondor&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Quest for the Golden Sword===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is T.A 351. The Fellowship is in the middle of an obscure, shady town.. They are hunting down Maethon. Bob has become the leader of the Fellowship. Torthion has joined in the hunt also, and has brought his two trusty aides, Eithon and Orthrodir. Both were twins who were skilled with bows and daggers, and thus were the perfect match for Maethon. Bob and the Fellowship were going around asking shady people about the whereabouts of Maethon, when they heard that Maethon was on a quest. A quest to recover the legendary golden sword, Maltirith. It was a legendary sword, forged by the Dwarves of Belegost. It was a magical blade, and it was extremely powerful. The Fellowship determined to find it before Maethon could.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

NOTICE: This character is non-canon and is not part of [[Tolkien&#039;s Legendarium]]. He is a fan-made character made by me, [[User:Dio|Dio]]. --[[User:Dio|Dio]] 22:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in T.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Joe swung his great golden blade round and round. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Fellowship arrived in Minas Gurth, they were surrounded by archers from the band of outlaws they were chasing. Their leader, a Noldorin elf named Arthon charged at the Fellowship with the whole band of outlaws. Seeing as the other members of the Fellowship were scared and nervous, Bob charged in on his own and engaged all of the outlaws with just his magic flaming blade. Bob lit the town on fire and slew many outlaws. The other members of the Fellowship charged in after Bob, except for Maethon and Billy who pulled out their bows and shot at the outlaws from afar. Soon they successfully killed all of the outlaws and retrieved the Book of Arnor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, while the group was going back to Arnor, Maethon revealed his evil intentions and tried to steal the Book of Arnor. Billy drew his bow and aimed it at Maethon. Maethon cut Billy&#039;s bow and slew him. Bob and the others, horrified, charged at Maethon. Tom throws his spear at Maethon. Maethon dodges by jumping up into a tree. Bob throws his spear at the tree, cutting the branch Maethon is on. Maethon jumps off the branch and fights Joe. Joe is pushed into a river, and gets back up. Bob and Bert take on Maethon, and succeed in overwhelming him, but Maethon escapes. The remaining members of the Fellowship, Bob, Bert, and Joe, go back to Arnor. They give the Book back to Eldacar and get paid handsomely. The Fellowship becomes an official mercenary group and makes its base in Ostsarnrath. Bert becomes High Scribe of Ostsarnrath and begins to write a book detailing the Fellowship&#039;s adventures, called, The Fellowship of the Book. The rest of the Fellowship make their homes in Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Three&amp;gt;The Fellowship of the Book by High Scribe Bert of Gondor&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Quest for the Golden Sword===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is T.A 351. The Fellowship is in the middle of an obscure, shady town.. They are hunting down Maethon. Bob has become the leader of the Fellowship. Torthion has joined in the hunt also, and has brought his two trusty aides, Eithon and Orthrodir. Both were twins who were skilled with bows and daggers, and thus were the perfect match for Maethon. Bob and the Fellowship were going around asking shady people about the whereabouts of Maethon, when they heard that Maethon was on a quest. A quest to recover the legendary golden sword, Maltirith. It was a legendary sword, forged by the Dwarves of Belegost. The Fellowship determined to find it before Maethon could.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Joe swung his great golden blade round and round. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Fellowship arrived in Minas Gurth, they were surrounded by archers from the band of outlaws they were chasing. Their leader, a Noldorin elf named Arthon charged at the Fellowship with the whole band of outlaws. Seeing as the other members of the Fellowship were scared and nervous, Bob charged in on his own and engaged all of the outlaws with just his magic flaming blade. Bob lit the town on fire and slew many outlaws. The other members of the Fellowship charged in after Bob, except for Maethon and Billy who pulled out their bows and shot at the outlaws from afar. Soon they successfully killed all of the outlaws and retrieved the Book of Arnor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, while the group was going back to Arnor, Maethon revealed his evil intentions and tried to steal the Book of Arnor. Billy drew his bow and aimed it at Maethon. Maethon cut Billy&#039;s bow and slew him. Bob and the others, horrified, charged at Maethon. Tom throws his spear at Maethon. Maethon dodges by jumping up into a tree. Bob throws his spear at the tree, cutting the branch Maethon is on. Maethon jumps off the branch and fights Joe. Joe is pushed into a river, and gets back up. Bob and Bert take on Maethon, and succeed in overwhelming him, but Maethon escapes. The remaining members of the Fellowship, Bob, Bert, and Joe, go back to Arnor. They give the Book back to Eldacar and get paid handsomely. The Fellowship becomes an official mercenary group and makes its base in Ostsarnrath. Bert becomes High Scribe of Ostsarnrath and begins to write a book detailing the Fellowship&#039;s adventures, called, The Fellowship of the Book. The rest of the Fellowship make their homes in Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Three&amp;gt;The Fellowship of the Book by High Scribe Bert of Gondor&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

NOTICE: This character is non-canon and is not part of [[Tolkien&#039;s Legendarium]]. He is a fan-made character made by me, [[User:Dio|Dio]]. --[[User:Dio|Dio]] 22:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Joe swung his great golden blade round and round. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Fellowship arrived in Minas Gurth, they were surrounded by archers from the band of outlaws they were chasing. Their leader, a Noldorin elf named Arthon charged at the Fellowship with the whole band of outlaws. Seeing as the other members of the Fellowship were scared and nervous, Bob charged in on his own and engaged all of the outlaws with just his magic flaming blade. Bob lit the town on fire and slew many outlaws. The other members of the Fellowship charged in after Bob, except for Maethon and Billy who pulled out their bows and shot at the outlaws from afar. Soon they successfully killed all of the outlaws and retrieved the Book of Arnor.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, while the group was going back to Arnor, Maethon revealed his evil intentions and tried to steal the Book of Arnor. Billy drew his bow and aimed it at Maethon. Maethon cut Billy&#039;s bow and slew him. Bob and the others, horrified, charged at Maethon. Tom throws his spear at Maethon. Maethon dodges by jumping up into a tree. Bob throws his spear at the tree, cutting the branch Maethon is on. Maethon jumps off the branch and fights Joe. Joe is pushed into a river, and gets back up. Bob and Bert take on Maethon, and succeed in overwhelming him, but Maethon escapes. The remaining members of the Fellowship, Bob, Bert, and Joe, go back to Arnor. They give the Book back to Eldacar and get paid handsomely. The Fellowship becomes an official mercenary group and makes its base in Ostsarnrath. Bert becomes High Scribe of Ostsarnrath and begins to write a book detailing the Fellowship&#039;s adventures, called, The Fellowship of the Book.

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

NOTICE: This character is non-canon and is not part of [[Tolkien&#039;s Legendarium]]. He is a fan-made character made by me, [[User:Dio|Dio]]. --[[User:Dio|Dio]] 22:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the Fellowship arrived in Minas Gurth, they were surrounded by archers from the band of outlaws they were chasing. Their leader, a Noldorin elf named Arthon charged at the Fellowship with the whole band of outlaws. Seeing as the other members of the Fellowship were scared and nervous, Bob charged in on his own and engaged all of the outlaws with just his magic flaming blade. Bob lit the town on fire and slew many outlaws. The other members of the Fellowship charged in after Bob, except for Maethon and Billy who pulled out their bows and shot at the outlaws from afar. Soon they successfully killed all of the outlaws and retrieved the Book of Arnor.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

NOTICE: This character is non-canon and is not part of [[Tolkien&#039;s Legendarium]]. He is a fan-made character made by me, [[User:Dio|Dio]]. --[[User:Dio|Dio]] 22:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Fellowship continued on towards Minas Gurth, but stopped by a river to get some water. There, they were attacked by Gerald of Erebor, who had tried to defeat Bob back in the Second Age. Gerald was still alive somehow, and for some reason, he hadn&#039;t aged a bit. He had an army of orcs with him, and so the Fellowship charged into battle. Billy stood on top of a rock and shot flaming arrows at the Orcs, and Bob took on Gerald with Lachothalion. Bert charged into battle alongside Tom, and they battled orcs mercilessly. Bob and Gerald exchanged blows with their weapons, until Bob gained the upper hand and chopped Gerald&#039;s arm off. Gerald and his army retreated, but the Fellowship did not follow. They continued on towards Minas Gurth.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

NOTICE: This character is non-canon and is not part of [[Tolkien&#039;s Legendarium]]. He is a fan-made character made by me, [[User:Dio|Dio]]. --[[User:Dio|Dio]] 22:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

==&#039;&#039;&#039;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion&#039;&#039;&#039;== &lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: This character is non-canon and is not part of [[Tolkien&#039;s Legendarium]]. He is a fan-made character made by me, [[User:Dio|Dio]]. --[[User:Dio|Dio]] 22:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Billy was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

==&#039;&#039;&#039;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion&#039;&#039;&#039;== &lt;br /&gt;
NOTICE: This character is non-canon and is not part of [[Tolkien&#039;s Legendarium]]. He is a fan-made character made by me, [[User:Dio|Dio]]. --[[User:Dio|Dio]] 22:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Joe was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Éomund&#039;&#039;&#039; was the Lord of Aldburg and a [[Marshal of the Mark]].&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Éomund was a descendant of [[Eofor]], and dwelt in [[Aldburg]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{UT|Isen}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He married [[Théodwyn]], the sister of the later King [[Théoden]]. Their children were [[Éomer]] and [[Éowyn]], who were each to play a great part in the [[War of the Ring]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A man from [[Eastfold]], he was a dedicated marshal in charge of the east marches, mainly defending the region against [[Orcs|Orcish]] raids.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Éomund himself was slain in battle with [[Orcs]] in the [[Emyn Muil]] in {{TA|3002}}. Théodwyn grew ill and died shortly after, and their children were raised by Théoden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{App|Eorl}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Joe was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Joe was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Joe Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Joe was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Billy Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Joe was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the group set out for a desolate town in [[Rhovanion]] named Minas Gurth, where Eldacar believed the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So the group set off on their journey, forming a band of mercenaries called The Fellowship of the Book. The Fellowship camped outside Fangorn Forest on their way to Minas Gurth. But they were ambushed by orcs. Joe was the first to spot them and pulled out his bow on instinct and shot in the dark. His arrow hit an orc, and it screamed in pain. The scream revealed the orcs&#039; location, so they decided to charge at the camp. Bob and Joe ran out of their tents and charged into battle. Joe slew many orcs with his golden blade. Bob took out Lachothalion and lit up the ground, giving light in the desolate forest. He then charged at the orcs and slaughtered them. But reinforcements came for the orcs, and they were not able to handle them. Suddenly, other mercenaries came to their aid, hearing about their deeds, killing orcs that ravaged Rhovanion. One of them was a Gondorian scribe mercenary named Bert. He wielded a great sword that was unbreakable. Another was an [[Easterlings|Easterling]] mercenary named Tom. Tom did battle with a spear and a shield. And the third mercenary that came to their aid was a Silvan elf named Maethon. Maethon was handy with daggers and bows. He was equal in speed to Bob. And so the three mercenaries together with the Fellowship overpowered the orcs and defeated them. Soon afterwards, the three mercenaries joined the Fellowship.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lord of the Ring&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Lord of the Rings&#039;&#039;&#039; was a title for [[Sauron]], the master of [[the One Ring]].

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Billy Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Billy was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Joe Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Joe was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the trio set out for a desolate town in Rhovanion, where Eldacar believes the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Billy Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Billy was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Joe Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Joe was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the trio set out for a desolate town in Rhovanion, where Eldacar believes the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;

==About Me==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m just a person who got interested in the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. I like going on Tolkien gateway a lot, mostly to read more about the many facts of Middle Earth. My favorite Middle-Earth character is [[Gil-Galad]]. Usually I spend my time expanding the story of [[User:Dio#The_Adventures_of_Bob_Talthalion|Bob Talthalion]] (my fanmade middle-earth character) , a mysterious sindarin elvish warrior rarely mentioned in the ancient books of the Sindar. I have collected many stories of the great elven warrior and am compiling it into a tale. I&#039;m usually active on Tolkien gateway. When I&#039;m not, I&#039;m either watching anime or rewatching lotr. Or maybe sleeping. Or eating. I could be doing a variety of things, but mostly during quarantine (note for future: this was written June 2020) I like to go on to Tolkien Gateway a lot. I believe that the Hobbit movies are seriously underrated. People hate on the movies for having bad CGI, but I honestly think they did well on the movies. And even if the CGI is bad, they only had one year to make each movie. Usually, If I&#039;m in the Recent changes page, I&#039;m probably just editing my user page or something like that. The Adventures of Bob Talthalion won&#039;t write itself! Or I&#039;m just fixing the tiny, tiny mistakes nobody finds in random articles. Someone has to do it. &lt;br /&gt;

===Early life=== &lt;br /&gt;
Bob was born on March 21, F.A 297, in [[Mithrim]]. He was one of the [[Elves of Mithrim]]. He was given the name Talthalion, in [[Sindarin]], meaning &amp;quot;foot-strong&amp;quot;, for he was one of the fastest elves of his kind. He showed signs of great wisdom, speed and strength. He lived in a humble cave home near Lake Mithrim. He always wore a blue elven garb with a brown hood, elvish armor gauntlets, and shoulder armor. Not much is known about Bob&#039;s early life.&amp;lt;ref name=One&amp;gt;The Adventures of Bob Talthalion by Timmy the Numenorean Scribe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Early Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning, On May 8, F.A 367, Bob was out hunting, when suddenly he encountered a group of Morgoth&#039;s orcs. He was armed with nothing but a measly knife, but his speed was nothing ever seen before. He sped through all 56 of the orcs, killing them all. He named the knife, Maeggond, meaning sharp stone in Sindarin, for it was a measly stone knife, yet it was as sharp as any steel knife. He then returned back to his cave-home in Mithrim. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Another day on June 9, F.A 399, Bob was hired by [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]] in Mithrim, to find an artifact. The artifact was not known to many, and Bob was one of the few who knew it. The Book of the [[Noldor]] (also Non-canon). An ancient book detailing the history of the Noldor and its many high kings. Fingolfin hired Bob for this job because he knew he could get the job done fast. And so Bob equipped his knife, Maeggond, and ran out of Mithrim, for he needed no steed, as he was faster than one. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He did not know where to look, and was confused. He was in the middle of East Beleriand. So he went to the nearest bar to ask some shady people where to look. The bar was named East Beleriand Bar, and it was headed by a [[Belegost]] dwarf named Jim Saurafoa. His last name was [[Quenya]], meaning, foul breath. It was a name given to him by the elves, for he had foul breath. He spoke Quenya, Sindarin, Khuzdul, and Common Speak. Bob only spoke Sindarin. Jim decided to help Bob on his quest, for he knew about the Book of the Noldor and its whereabouts. He believed it lay in an ancient bookstore in the forest of [[Doriath]]. So they set out for Doriath. While on the journey, Bob learned how to speak Quenya, Khuzdul, and Common Speak from Jim.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Jim and Bob arrived in the forest of Doriath after a journey of one day. However, as they passed through the forest, they were attacked by elven archers of King Thingol of Doriath. Bob pulled out his knife, Maeggond, and Jim pulled out his axe, Brandranc, meaning Noble-arm, in Noldorin. However, they recognized Bob Talthalion as a Sindarin Elf, and he was allowed entry in Doriath. There they found the ancient bookstore in Doriath. However, it was occupied by a troll, who had somehow gotten in there. Bob and Jim faced the troll. It rampaged and destroyed the bookstore and some trees. Jim tried to face it with Brandranc, but was cast aside by the troll, flew into a tree, and fell unconscious. Bob was left alone to face the troll with just his small dagger, Maeggond. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The troll found a tree branch as a mighty club and tried to whack Bob. But Bob was far faster than the troll, and was given enough time to make a plan to defeat the troll. The troll whacked the ground underneath him and he got a plan. Bob went under the troll and sliced both of the troll&#039;s legs. It screamed in pain and was blind for a second, giving Bob enough time to latch onto its back. The troll swung round heavily and tried to shake Bob off, but Bob held his ground and was not shaken off. Bob stabbed his way up the troll&#039;s back and finally reached the troll&#039;s head. He swung his knife, and stabbed the troll&#039;s head. The troll fell to the ground and died.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After Jim regained consciousness, Bob and Jim returned to Fingolfin with the Book of the Noldor. Fingolfin gave Bob and Jim a glorious reward of gold and coins. However, Jim could not stay in Mithrim, for the Sindarin who lived there, all except for Bob, hated dwarves. So Bob departed Mithrim, with Jim, to go live in the middle of East Beleriand, where they built a humble home, with a forge and a pool. Bob later wrote a book about his Doriath adventure, called Doriath Adventures.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Doriath Adventures by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad===&lt;br /&gt;
One day on F.A 472, In the humble home of Bob Talthalion and Jim Saurafoa, a letter arrived. The first one in months, maybe years. It was addressed to Jim Saurafoa, and it was from the Fen of Serech. It was from his cousin, Freddy of [[Belegost]]. Freddy was a measly captain in the army of the Dwarves of Belegost. He wanted Jim and Bob to come to the Fen of Serech and join the [[Union of Maedhros]] and fight in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. Jim and Bob took their weapons and sped to the Fen of Serech to join the Union of Maedhros as mercenaries. Nobody knew them, except for Fingon, son of Fingolfin, barely recognizing Bob. Bob and Jim had no idea what they were going into. They were confused as to why they were standing in the middle of a huge army, waging war on Morgoth. Jim didn&#039;t even know who Morgoth was. Bob and Jim joined Fingon&#039;s forces in the fight. They were also given new armor by the dwarves of Belegost. Bob equipped an elven bow and sword, still keeping his old dagger, Maeggond. Jim took a shield and his axe, Brandranc and charged into battle with the rest of Fingon&#039;s army.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Fingon&#039;s forces reached Angband. Bob was slaying orcs left and right. Jim pushed into Angband like the rest of Fingon&#039;s forces. Suddenly, Angband was emptied as the worst of Morgoth&#039;s forces came through. Bob fought the mighty balrogs in single combat. Jim fought the mightiest of them, Gothmog, being the last to protect Fingon. Gothmog easily slew Jim, and then killed Fingon with his black axe. Bob mourned Jim and continued fighting. A lot of Fingon&#039;s host was slain. The rest of them, including Bob, escaped with [[Turgon|Turgon&#039;s]] [[Gondolin]] host.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elves at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===After The Battle===&lt;br /&gt;
Bob Talthalion then lived in Gondolin and worked as a freelance mercenary. He wrote a book about his experiences in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. It was called Elves at War. Bob was also mentioned in the scrolls of Gondolin.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fall of Gondolin===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 510, [[Morgoth|Morgoth&#039;s]] forces besieged the city. At this time, Bob Talthalion was sipping Elven Soda, and reading the [[Quenta Silmarillion]], in his new humble home in Gondolin. Him, and many other citizens of Gondolin were gathered by [[Tuor]] and [[Idril]], and he escaped the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. He then went back to his humble home in the middle of East Beleriand. He establishes a settlement there, for some of the survivors of the Fall of Gondolin. He names it, Ostsarnrath, in Sindarin, meaning, Fort Stony Street, for its streets were made of stone. Bob becomes lord of Ostsarnrath. Some elven warriors form an army, and thus is born the army of Ostsarnrath. The city remained intact until F.A 587. He also writes a book on escaping Gondolin, called Death and Destruction. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Death and Destruction by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Destruction of Beleriand===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in F.A 587, Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath, was just chilling. Suddenly his people warned him that [[Beleriand]] would be destroyed. So he took most of his people and fled to [[Ossiriand]], and thus, Bob and his people survived the Destruction of Beleriand, but Ostsarnrath was destroyed, along with the rest of Beleriand. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After wandering around Middle Earth for a few years, in S.A 3, the people of Ostsarnrath go to Lindon. There, Bob encounters an elderly Freddy of Belegost, cousin of Jim Saurafoa. Freddy, who is now lord of the Dwarves of Belegost, gives the title, Dwarf-friend, to Bob. He then dies of old age. Bob settles in Lindon for a while. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Return of the Mercenary===&lt;br /&gt;
One Morning in S.A 67, Bob Talthalion makes his return as a freelance mercenary when he is hired by [[Gil-Galad]], High King of the Noldor and Lord of Lindon. The Book of the Noldor has been lost once again, and Gil-Galad has heard legends of Bob from the first age, serving Fingolfin. Bob agrees and sets out to try and find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob takes his old dagger,Maeggond, his old sword from the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a spear given to him by Gil-Galad. Bob sets out to find the book. As he was on the first quest to find the book, he is very confused. So he takes a ship and goes to [[Numenor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After landing in Numenor, Bob visits the king, [[Elros|Tar-Minyatur]]. He asks about the Book of the Noldor, and Elros orders his men to direct Bob to an ancient Numenorean bookstore. There he was greeted by the owner of the bookstore, a  young Numenorean scribe named Timmy. Timmy was proficient in every language in Middle-Earth, including Black-Speech. Timmy was also good with a bow and sword. Timmy&#039;s dream was to be a mercenary scribe, a scribe who was also a part-time mercenary.  Bob took Timmy as his apprentice, and they found the Book of the Noldor and sailed away, back to Middle-Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After receiving a handsome reward of Gold from Gil-galad, Bob and Timmy then rebuilt Ostsarnrath near Greenwood the Great, in Rhovanion. There, Ostsarnrath was populated by Noldorin and Sindarin elves once again, and Bob was made Lord of Ostsarnrath again. Timmy became the High Scribe of Ostsarnrath, and the Ostsarnrath army was born again. Bob depicted his adventures to Timmy and Timmy wrote a book about them, called The Adventures of Bob Talthalion. &amp;lt;ref name=One/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===More Adventures in Ostsarnrath===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 202. Ostsarnrath is being guarded by Sindarin Ostsarnrath soldiers. Suddenly, a hooded figure approaches the gate on horseback. He asks to see the Lord of Ostsarnrath, and his wish is granted. The figure is brought before Bob Talthalion, Lord of Ostsarnrath. The hooded figure is an agent of [[Sauron]], and a powerful Dwarvish mercenary. His name is Gerald of [[Erebor]], and he is of the Longbeards. He challenges Talthalion to a duel and he accepts. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and Gerald are standing in the middle of a courtyard. Both are clad in armor. Bob unsheaths his sword and charges at him with astonishing speed. But Gerald surprisingly dodges it, and pushes Bob towards a tree. Gerald throws his axe at Bob&#039;s head, but Bob dodges just in time and pulls out his bow. There he fires arrows rapidly at Gerald. Gerald dodges all of the arrows, until one hits him. Two. Three. But he still survives. Gerald escapes, vowing revenge on Ostsarnrath.&amp;lt;ref name=Two&amp;gt;My Mercenary Career, Detailed by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Hired by Numenor===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 402, an emissary from Numenor arrives. Tar-Minyatur, king of Numenor, wants to hire Bob Talthalion. So Bob takes the role of Mercenary once again. He takes along Timmy and a battalion of 100 Ostsarnrath soldiers, led by his best commander, the [[Noldorin]] elf Torthion. So they set out for Numenor. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
They land in Numenor and are greeted by King Tar-Minyatur, who is now old. They are given new weapons and armor by the Numenorean Forges. Bob and Torthion are given new Elvish armor and swords. Timmy is given new Numenorean armor and he gets a flaming sword, called Lachothalion, meaning Flame-strong in Sindarin. Tar-Minyatur explains to them the mission. The [[Ring of Barahir]] has been stolen by an agent of Sauron and Tar-Minyatur has hired them to get it back. So they depart Numenor and go to the Misty Mountains, where Tar-Minyatur believes the agent is.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob and his group search the Misty Mountains. Suddenly they are attacked by Gundabad orcs. Bob equips his spear and charges into battle. Timmy follows, lighting up the mountain surface with flames. Torthion orders the Ostsarnrath archers to fire a volley of arrows, and the orcs are quickly decimated. Only twelve orcs survive, and they try to run back to their camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The group follows the orcs back to their camp, and they successfully ambush it. Bob unsheathes his new elven blade and slaughters countless orcs. Timmy lights the camp up in flames, killing many orcs. Torthion leads the Ostsarnrath forces into battle against the Gundabad orcs. They successfully kill them all, with only 2 casualties on their side. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs, an Easterling mercenary comes back to the camp with another group of orcs. Bob leads his group into battle once again. Torthion and the Ostsarnrath take out their bows and shoot at the orcs from afar. Bob goes into single combat with the Easterling mercenary, and Timmy swings Lachothalion, killing numerous orcs.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, Bob and his group triumphs over the orcs. Bob searches the Easterling&#039;s body and finds the Ring of Barahir. Bob and his group returns to Numenor, where they are rewarded with loads of gold. Bob is given the Book of the Sindar, which depicts every event in the History of the Sindar. He removes all mentions of himself, except for the Fall of Gondolin. He and his group then go back to Ostsarnrath. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===Ostsarnrath Under Siege===&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob Talthalion and his group arrived near Ostsarnrath, they were shocked to find it under siege by orcs. They took a secret passage back into the city and arrived just in time, as the orcs broke through the gate. They were led by a powerful numenorean mercenary working for Sauron, named Taurthalion, meaning overwhelming hero in Noldorin. He led the orcs into battle with the Ostsarnrath elves. Bob gathered he rest of Ostsarnrath&#039;s army and charged at the orcs. Torthion led the archers of Ostsarnrath on top of the city hall. They fired a volley of arrows at an orc battalion halfway through the city, killing them. Timmy led some elves into battle, killing orcs left and right.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Bob went toe to toe with Taurthalion. Taurthalion swung his mighty blade. Bob dodged it. He tried to strike quickly with his great spear, but Taurthalion appeared to be just as fast as Bob, and caught the spear. He swerved it around 3 times, and Bob flew into a building, which collapsed on top of him. Timmy then engaged Taurthalion in battle. He blocked every hit and countered with his flaming blade. Taurthalion zoomed past Timmy and cut his hand. Timmy&#039;s sword flew up into the air, and Taurthalion caught it. Taurthalion then slew Timmy with his own blade.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When Bob got out of the collapsed building, lightly injured, and saw that Timmy was dead, he charged at Taurthalion with his elven blade. They exchanged a series of blows, each equally strong. Meanwhile, Torthion led the army of Ostsarnrath against the orcs and drove them out of the city and continued the battle outside. Bob and Taurthalion continued fighting. Taurthalion drove Bob to the edge of a cliff, and wrestled his blade from his hands. Taurthalion prepared to kill Bob. Bob quickly grabbed his old stone knife, Maeggond and sliced Taurthalion&#039;s left hand off. He yelled in pain, and Timmy&#039;s blade, Lachothalion, flew up in the air. Bob caught it and stabbed Taurthalion. Taurthalion drops to the ground and Bob pushes his body off of the cliff. Outside of the city, the orcs are completely killed. But there are many casualties. The battle ends.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the battle, the citizens of Ostsarnrath band together to help rebuild it. Torthion is appointed as Grand Marshall of the Ostsarnrath army, and Bob decides to keep Lachothalion, Timmy&#039;s flaming sword. Bob then reigns as Lord of Ostsarnrath once again. He also writes a book about his mercenary career, called My Mercenary Career, Detailed. &amp;lt;ref name=Two/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
===The Last Alliance===&lt;br /&gt;
The year is S.A 3,430. Gil-Galad sends a messenger to Ostsarnrath, bearing a message to the Lord of Ostsarnrath. Bob Talthalion is currently in his backyard, preparing a barbecue. The messenger approaches him, telling him about the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]]. Bob joins the Last Alliance and rides with his army and Torthion to [[Weathertop|Amon Sûl]], where they met with the rest of the alliance. They camped there for three years, and the army got new armor, while the rest of the alliance made plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;hr/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Timeskip to S.A 3,434. Bob and his forces have survived the Battle of Dagorlad and are in the middle of the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]]. Gil-Galad and his men charge into battle, and the army of Ostsarnrath charge as well. Bob decimates hundreds of orcs, and Torthion fights valiantly as well. During the Siege of Barad-dûr, the Ostsarnrath army suffers heavy casualties. The Siege lasts until S.A 3,441, when Sauron comes in person to battle the alliance. The Ostsarnrath army, Bob, and Torthion form a shield wall to protect themselves against Sauron. Sauron decimates the Alliances forces and kills Gil-Galad and [[Elendil]]. But [[Isildur]] grabs the shards of [[Narsil]], and cuts Sauron&#039;s finger off, ending the Siege. Bob and his forces go back to Ostsarnrath. Bob then writes a book about his experience in the Siege of Barad-dûr called Ostsarnrath at War.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ostsarnrath at War by Bob Talthalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Arnor Adventures===&lt;br /&gt;
One day in S.A 301, Bob Talthalion was hired by the [[Kings of Arnor|King of Arnor]], [[Eldacar]]. So he rode for [[Annúminas]], the capital of Arnor. Torthion governed Ostsarnrath in his stead. When he arrived at Annúminas, he was greeted by the king and he explained the job. Bob was to recover the Sacred Book of Arnor, a book that contained the secrets of Arnor. It had been stolen by a band of outlaws. Bob was accompanied by two other mercenaries whom Eldacar had also hired. Billy Kundo, a Dwarven mercenary, whose last name meant guardian. Billy was from Erebor, and was clad in golden dwarven armor.  He fought with a golden sword. And Joe Brandybuck, a hobbit mercenary. Joe was a skilled archer, and was almost as fast as Bob. So the trio set out for a desolate town in Rhovanion, where Eldacar believes the outlaws were hiding.&lt;br /&gt;
