Celeritas' Birthday Bash 2010  by Celeritas 3 Review(s)

Well, from what we can tell the stairs at the Great Smial down which Lalia fell appear to have been OUTDOORS rather than INDOORS. Heh! The great stairs debate continues, along with the question as to whether or not Balrogs have usable wings.

But I'm certain that the Tooks had a ballroom!

Author Reply: Yes, but if they were outdoor stairs, and Great Smials was so huge and interconnected, how did the different floors connect--unless it were truly built on a ravine or some such thing. I'm rather ambivalent on the entirety of the matter, but if anyone were to have stairs indoors it'd certainly be the Tooks! (And honestly, there's more evidence for those than a ballroom.)

*grin* I love it! A wonderful job, with lots of hints. (NOW I'm all curious as to just what Gorhendad did that was so scandalous? Did he put the dessert before main course with some lass? Was she a Took? Did he get involved in a brawl? With a Took? Did he have an ADVENTURE?)

And the ballroom does tickle me to pieces! Thank you! *grins some more*

Author Reply: I'm still wondering what exactly it was that Gorhendad did as well... though if he's being kicked out of the Shire for adventure, the Tooks are certainly ones to talk! *cough*

Thought you'd like the ballroom.

Entirely plausible! I hope Dreamflower enjoys this as much as I did! :) I love it when discrepancies in the timelines are explained!

Author Reply: Thank you! In this case, the discrepancy was explained right in Tolkien.
