Anything else you'd like to know? I don't know much, but I know my Tolkien legendaria.

So I did. Sorry. The went into the East for the same reason the other three stayed in the West - to oppose Sauron. I think I recall reading that they were supposed to weaken the Eastern people already in Sauron's service.

No, it's in 'The Silmarillion'.

*shrug* CT couldn't make it as a writer, so he instead opted to become a failure as an editor. If it hadn't been for his father's waste-paper basket, he'd be making his living selling handies on the Durham quad.
