"So snow comes after fire, and even dragons have their ending."

OK, short version:

- according to hobbit custom if the family patriarch, the head of the family would be his widow until she died

- so when Fortinbras Took died, his wife Lalia became head of the Took family

- she proceeded to live another 22 years, until she was 119 years old

- her son Ferumbras never married because he could not find a single hobbit woman willing to live in the same house as Lalia. no explanation given as to why but she was presumably very unpleasant.

- Lalia became so fat that she needed a wheelchair to get about

- she finally died when her attendant accidentally (or ‘accidentally’) tipped her out of her wheelchair & down a flight of steps

- rumour had it that her attendant was Pearl Took, Pippin’s older sister

- Pearl was excluded from the party celebrating Ferumbras’s accession to head of the family

- Pearl was later seen out & about wearing a priceless necklace that was a Took family heirloom 

- rumour had it Pearl killed Lalia on purpose, the family covered it up, and Ferumbras rewarded her for killing his mother with the necklace

Because she’s an awkward dork who forgets how to be a person the minute Real People start talking to her.

Glorfindel recognizes an old friend behind the beard and wrinkles. Glorfindel does not know his own strength.

It will look like this when activated, and is auto-defaulted to being on.

Make it look like this to turn it off.

CONGRATULATIONS.
