You're a bit confused Jude. The thrush spoke to Bard. Roac son of Carc spoke to the Dwarves cause they couldn't understand Thrush. :)

Doh! That means I have to go again. Off to flip to a random page...

How many times was Huan allowed to speak, and what occasions did he choose? Bonus points for the actual dialogue :)

Ok, I'll have to actually go check the answer for this one as I only spotted the "second" in my random page flip!

Ooh, there's an unanswered question here! And it's a hard one.

I believe he spoke three times. The last was at Luthien's death, but I don't remember the others.

I was wrong. I re-read it last night, and the first time was to help Luthien escape her father's prison, the second was to tell Beren he couldn't stop Luthien accompanying him into Angband, and the third was at Huan's own death to farewell Beren who died shortly afterwards.

Did we decide to keep this to LotR/Silm? Because there's so much great material in Tolkien's other work. I'm going to push the boundaries a bit.

This image is on the cover of some editions of The Silmarillion. Whose symbol is it?

Was that drawn by Tolkien or was it based on a description that he wrote?

Drawn by Tolkien, and not Finwe.

(Sorry it took me so long. Double Easter drove everything else out of my head.)
