'''Quickbeam''', or in [[Sindarin]] '''Bregalad''', was one of the younger [[Ents]] of [[Fangorn Forest]] belonging to the people of [[Skinbark]]. His name was given because of his uncharacteristic hastiness.

== History ==
The [[rowans|rowan]]-trees in his keeping (among them [[Carnimírië]], [[Lassemista]], and [[Orofarnë]]) suffered greatly at the hands of [[Saruman]]'s [[Orcs]], so he was the first ent to make his mind up at the [[Entmoot]]. He sheltered, in his [[Ent-houses|home]], the two [[Hobbits|hobbits]], [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]], and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]] while the other ents made up their minds at the entmoot. He played a great part in the Ents' resulting [[Battle of Isengard|attack]] on [[Isengard]].

== Etymology ==
The name ''Quickbeam'' was given to him because he was hasty for an Ent.<ref>{{TT|Treebeard}}</ref> His Sindarin name, ''Bregalad'', means "quick (lively) tree", derived from *''[[BERÉK|breg]]-'' having to do with "violence, suddenness" and ''[[galadh]]'', "tree".<ref>{{PE|17}}, p. 82</ref>

Quickbeam (Old English ''Cwicbeám'') and Quicken are actual English names of the [[Rowans|rowan]] or mountain [[Ashes|ash]], ''Sorbus aucuparia.'' It was not coincidental that "rowan" is mentioned in Quickbeam's song.<ref name="nomen">{{HM|N}}, p. 762</ref>

== Portrayal in adaptations ==
[[File:The Lord of the Rings Online - Quickbeam.jpg|thumb|left|Quickbeam in ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'']]
'''2002: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]'':'''
:[http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr15034 A card] in [[Decipher]]'s [[The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game]] identifies one of the Ents at [[Isengard]] as Quickbeam.

'''2011: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''
:Quickbeam is first met in a grove in the far eastern side of [[Nan Curunír]], attempting to put an end to Saruman's attacks on the forest on his own. Shortly after the Ents take Isengard, Quickbeam returns to [[Derndingle]], where he gives the player tasks to pacify the forest that had quickly become wild in the absence of the Ents.

Song of the Mounds of Mundburg

2023-10-30T02:53:23Z

Sonofcarc: Adding information

{{Unnamed}}
The '''''song of the Mounds of Mundburg''''' was a song written by an unnamed poet of [[Rohan]] some years after the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]]. It was about those slain in the battle, those buried at the [[Mounds of Mundburg]].<ref>{{RK|V6}}</ref> Like most of the poems attributed to the Rohirrim, it is written in the old Germanic alliterative meter. It is much like the epic [[Welsh]] poem ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Gododdin Y Gododdin]'' in miniature form.

===Text===
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
We heard of the horns in the hills ringing,
the swords shining in the [[Gondor|South-kingdom]],
Steeds went striding to the [[Stoningland]]
as wind in the morning. War was kindled.
There [[Théoden]] fell, Thengling mighty,
to his [[Meduseld|golden halls]] and [[the Mark|green pastures]]
in the [[Rohan|Northern fields]] never returning,
high lord of the host. [[Harding (rider of Rohan)|Harding]] and [[Guthláf]],
[[Dúnhere]] and [[Déorwine]], doughty [[Grimbold]],
[[Herefara]] and [[Herubrand]], [[Horn (rider of Rohan)|Horn]] and [[Fastred (rider of Rohan)|Fastred]],
fought and fell there in a [[Gondor|far country]]:
in the [[Mounds of Mundburg]] under mould they lie
with their league-fellows, lords of [[Gondor]].
Neither [[Hirluin the Fair]] to the [[Pinnath Gelin|hills]] by the [[Bay of Belfalas|sea]],
nor [[Forlong the old]] to the [[Lossarnach|flowering vales]]
ever, to [[Arnach]], to his own country
returned in triumph; nor the tall bowmen,
[[Derufin]] and [[Duilin (son of Duinhir)|Duilin]], to their [[Morthond|dark waters]],
meres of [[Morthond]] under [[Erech|mountain-shadows]].
Death in the morning and at day's ending
lords took and lowly. Long now they sleep
under grass in Gondor by the [[Anduin|Great River]]
Grey now as tears, gleaming silver,
red then it rolled, roaring water:
foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset;
as beacons mountains burned at evening;
red fell the dew in [[Rammas Echor]].</poem>

* Gilded pages
* Two fold-out maps
* Ribbon bookmark
* Colored inserts of the [[Book of Mazarbul]] by J.R.R. Tolkien
* Dimensions 15.7 x 10 x 2.7 inches
* Weight 4.6 pounds
==Background==
The text of ''The Lord of the Rings'' has been revised and corrected multiple times throughout its several publications and editions, but new errors, mainly typographical, always have been introduced, especially after each resetting of type;<ref name=xliv/> notable cases were when the printer reset the metal types of ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' soon after its publication, and in [[1994]] when [[HarperCollins]] digitized the text.<ref>{{HM|RC}}, pp. xxxix, xl</ref> New errors are introduced

Both J.R.R. Tolkien and his son, [[Christopher Tolkien]], had prepared lists of such errors to guide emendations for future editions. Steven M. Frisby had also made comparisons of different ''LotR'' copies, and researched Tolkien's original manuscripts in the libraries at the [[Marquette University]]. [[David Bratman]] also authored ''A Corrigenda to The Lord of the Rings'' in [[The Tolkien Collector]] #6. Similar lists and comments have been made independently by scholars such as [[Douglas Anderson]], [[Charles Noad]] and [[Arden Smith]].

[[Wayne Hammond]] and [[Christina Scull]] for many years also studied and compared the texts and their inconsistencies. Consulting the abovementioned works, along with their own examination of the Marquette manuscripts, the [[Allen and Unwin]] archive, unpublished correspondence between Tolkien and Allen & Unwin, and of course [[The History of The Lord of the Rings|volumes 6-9]] of ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'', they had compiled "an exhaustive and up to date catalogue" of errors, corrections and their emendations throughout the publication's history.

For the 50th anniversary, the couple proposed a new effort to produce a text as close as possible to the [[Wikipedia:authorial intent|authorial intent]]. Tolkien's publishers and the [[Tolkien Estate]] agreed. HarperCollins provided searchable text files that helped detect inconsistencies in spelling and punctuation, despite Tolkien's stated preferences. They presented 229 such questionable points to Christopher Tolkien.<ref>{{HM|RC}}, p. xli</ref>

Supervised by Christopher Tolkien, and based on the latest compared text, the couple made fixes to typographical errors and mistakes, and corrections to the text when it was certain that the latest text reflected Tolkien's preference. Whenever those were clear, spelling and capitalization were regularized. More substantial textual mistakes (see below) were conservatively considered by case.<ref name=xlii>{{HM|RC}}, p. xlii</ref> Christopher Tolkien was positive in "getting rid" of such inconsistencies that distract observant readers, pointing out that were his father notified about them, he would immediately correct them.<ref name=xliv>{{HM|RC}}, p. xliv</ref>

An example of textual mistake has been the phrase "from the lowlands to the Dwarf-kingdom" (Book II, Chapter 6) which has been changed to "from the lowlands '''of''' the Dwarf-kingdom" in a subsequent edition (whereas Moria had no lowlands); the couple restored it to its original correct form.<ref name=xlii/>

Some mistakes that the editors failed to notice, or new ones introduced by bugs of the software, were further corrected for the [[2005]] reprint.<ref name=xliv/>

==Changes to the text==
;[[The Lord of the Rings Prologue|Prologue]]:
:*[[Bandobras Took]] now is the grandson of [[Isengrim Took II]] according to [[Appendix C]].
:*The [[Westmarch]] was added to the Shire in {{SR|1452}} according to [[Appendix B]].
;[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]:

<center>{{quote|Yonder is the '''Firienholt'''. But what lies beyond no man knows.|''[[The War of the Ring]]'', Part Three, Many Roads Lead Eastward, pg. 318}}</center>

'''Firienholt''', originally known as '''Eryn Fuir'''<ref name=VT42>{{VT|42a}}, p. 20</ref> was a small forest of [[oaks]] that stood on the borders of [[Rohan]] and [[Gondor]], about and upon the slopes of the [[Amon Anwar]] (Halifirien).<ref>{{RK|Map}}</ref>

The [[Mering Stream]] arose in the cleft between the Halifirien and the rest of the [[White Mountains|Ered Nimrais]]. It then turned northwest and watered the densest stands of trees in the forest. The stream marked the precise border between the [[Eastfold]], and the [[Gondor]]ian land of [[Anórien]] and thus part of the woods belonged to either realm. The great West Road passed through a cutting in the wood to avoid the wet lands to the north. From the road there was also a path to the summit of the Halifirien maintained by the Beacon-wardens.<ref name="Cirion">{{UT|Eorl}}</ref>

==History==
The road that cut through the northern bounds of the wood had been built by the [[Exiles of Númenor]] soon after the founding of [[Arnor]] and Gondor.<ref>{{UT|8e}}, note 32</ref>

At the end of the [[War of the Last Alliance]], [[Isildur]] took his nephew [[Meneldil]] and a company of trusted friends on a ride about the borders of Gondor. Returning from the northern boundary, Isildur came to the Eryn Fuir and had a path made to the summit of Amon Anwar, which was green and treeless. There they raised a mound for a casket to be the [[Tomb of Elendil|tomb and memorial]] of [[Elendil]]. This spot was chosen because it stood near to the center of the lands claimed by the South Kingdom.<ref>{{UT|Tradition}}</ref>

In {{TA|2510}}, after [[Eorl]], lord of the [[Éothéod]], and his riders had saved the Steward [[Cirion]] and the army of Gondor at the [[Battle of the Field of Celebrant]],<ref>{{App|TA}}</ref> Cirion brought Eorl through the Eryn Fuir to Amon Anwar to grant him the land of [[Calenardhon]], thus founding the realm of [[Rohan]].<ref name="Cirion"/> With the coming of the [[Rohirrim]], the forest became known as "Firienholt" in [[Rohanese]].<ref name=VT42/>

In {{TA|2864}} King [[Folca]] hunted and slew the great boar of [[Everholt]] in the Firien Wood, but died of the wounds the beast had given him.<ref>{{App|Mark}}, 13. ''Folca''</ref>

In March of {{TA|3019}} [[Théoden]] and the host of the [[Rohirrim]] passed to the north of Firienholt on their way to [[Minas Tirith]].<ref>{{App|Great}}</ref> Months later the funeral escort of Théoden would travel through the Firienholt on the way back to [[Edoras]].<ref>{{App|Chief}}</ref>

==Other names==
The older [[Sindarin]] name for the wood had been '''''Eryn Fuir''''', "North Wood" (becoming obsolete with the coming of the [[Rohirrim]]).<ref name=VT42/> Because of the unnatural silence that lay upon the land in the Common Speech the Firienholt acquired the name "the Whispering Wood".<ref name="Cirion"/>

==Etymology==
''firien holt'' means "mountain wood", though it is rather more commonly referred to simply as the '''''Firien Wood''''', taking its name from Halifirien.<ref name="Nomen">{{HM|N}}, p. 770</ref>

Everholt

2023-10-28T17:28:38Z

Sonofcarc: Added information from Appendix B.

'''Everholt''' was the name the [[Rohirrim]] gave to a section of the [[Firienholt|Firien Wood]]. It was notorious for its [[Boar of Everholt|boar]], after which the forest was named. In 2864, King Folca of Rohan killed the boar and was killed by it.<ref>{{App|Mark}}</ref>
==Etymology==
The name means "boar-wood". The first element comes from [[Old English]] ''eofor'', "boar". The second element appears also in [[Dimholt]], "wood".

[[Eofor]] is also a [[Rohanese]] name.

'''Éomund''' was the [[Lord of Aldburg]] and a [[Marshal of the Mark]].
==History==
Éomund was a descendant of [[Eofor]], the third son of Brego the second king of Rohan, and dwelt in [[Aldburg]] in the [[Eastfold]].<ref>{{UT|Isen}}</ref> 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]].

He was the marshal in charge of the east marches, active in defending the horse-herds of the region against increasing raids by [[Orcs]]. He was killed in {{TA|3002}}, while pursuing such a raid, by a large force that lay in ambush in the [[Emyn Muil]]. Théodwyn grew ill and died shortly after, and their children were raised by Théoden.<ref>{{App|Eorl}}</ref>

==Etymology==
The name ''Éomund'' is made up of [[Old English]] ''[[Wiktionary:eoh|eoh]]'' ("war-horse, charger") + ''[[Wiktionary:mund#Old_English|mund]]'' ("protector").<ref>{{HM|RC}}, pp. 367-8</ref> The name is appropriate to his role as the guardian of the horses of the Eastfold.
