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.
