Gondor?
Ukraine has lit the beacons. And Europe will answer.
Isengard is beginning to turn, it is touching the Palantír
I hear Gondor has pretty metals. You wouldn't want to be invaded for them when you can just give them to us, now would you

Fuck those descendants of Valinor. What good did they ever done to us?
Given us the sun and moon?
Actually no. That was done by Valar after an elf refused to give up gems that he only could make that radiant thanks to the light of the trees (after the trees were destroyed by Shelob's predecessor Ungoliant, who was in pact with Morgoth).
Question since u seem to know stuff about things
How the fuck was shelob a human magic lady in shadow of war and also bested by a halfling with a short sword in the main books?
Like she had calibrembors wraith bound and was torturing him when talion hands over the ring at the start of that game....what gives
If I'm missing something obvious at the end of shadow of war ..it's cuz I haven't finished it yet I'm like over 3/4ths through it.
I have not played the Shadows-games (well I started Shadow of Mirror but it absolutely didn't hook me so I left it quickly), so I'm not well-versed in those games' lore.
However, I looked it up and it seems the developers made Shelob a Maia like Sauron himself, and Sauron like too she can shapeshift in Shadow.
On how Samwise was able to defeat her: he used the phial of Galadriel that contained the light of Eärendil's Star (which is a actually the light of a Silmaril on his forehead) and in Tolkien's lore light is often detrimental to evil creatures (especially such a powerful and pure light). The light from the phial caused pain to Shelob and Sam wounded her with Sting, an old and powerful elven blade. However, in the end he couldn't actually overcome her and she defeated herself by trying to crush Sam who simply held Sting upright between himself and her and she lowered herself onto the sword. It is also never told whether she actually died from that wound, she squibbled away and was never mentioned again.
Oh, yeah, you are right!
They WANTED to use the Silmaril for that, but Fenor refused to give them away.
