''[[Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth]]'', or ''Unfinished Tales'' for short, was the first publication of unfinished and fragmentary material that formed part of the [[Backstory]] of ''[[
{{tropelist}}
* [[City of Adventure]]: Bree in ''The Quest of Erebor'' and ''The Hunt for the Ring''.
* [[City of Spies]]: Bree in ''The Hunt for the Ring''.
* [[The Chessmaster]] : In ''The Quest of Erebor'' (a "special feature" of [[The Hobbit]]) when Gandalf and the dwarves [[You All Meet in An Inn|met at Bree]] before visiting Thorin accuses Gandalf of having more in his mind then Thorin's troubles. Gandalf replies that of course he did - He was a [[The Chessmaster|chessmaster]] and that was why his advice was so good.
* [[Curse]]: Túrin
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: The [[Curse]] on Túrin was given by Morgoth because he was angry at Húrin for defying him. This would also be [[Revenge
* [[The Handler]]: In ''The Hunt for the Ring'' The Witch-King captures an agent of Saruman's and intimidates him into serving Sauron
* [[Hidden Depths]]: The Quest of Erebor reveals that Thorin was far more conflicted and doubtful than his proud and egotistcal behaviour the Hobbit let on, to the point where he almost called the whole thing off in Bag End.
Line 19:
* [[Perspective Flip]]: ''The Quest for Erebor'' is the events of ''[[The Hobbit]]'' (and preceding it) from Gandalf's perspective.
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Partial example in ''Aldarion and Erendis''; apparently he never thought of mentioning that while he was off cruising, he was helping the elves fortify against Sauron.
* [[Screw the War, We're Partying]]: Exploited. In ''Cirdan and Eorl'' (and in the appendix to ''Return of the King''), an incident is recorded where the Wainriders win a victory over Gondor, and take a break to celebrate all the [[Rape, Pillage and Burn|fun]] they are looking forward to. While they are drunk the commander of Gondor's southern force comes up and slaughters them.
* [[The Spymaster]]: The Witch-King in ''The Hunt for the Ring''
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: In ''Cirion and Eorl'' an ancient campaign between Gondor and it's allies against the [[The Horde|Wainriders]] is opened by Gondorian agents enginnering a slave revolt in the Wainriders' country while the men were away at war. The Wainrider [[Action Girl|women]] defend their homes against the rebels and are praised for their valor. Interestingly this is one of the few times Tolkien uses this trope in detail, although it is implied elsewhere that Easterlings and Haradrim have [[Worthy Opponent|Worthy Opponents]] among them.
