I thought it was from the troll - - you know from Moria.

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That didn't wound him, did it? Wasn't it stopped by the mithril?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That spear never penetrated the mithril shirt, nor skin. Wouldn't have left a scar.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Headbutts are cool.
White light! White light!
Is that the inscription from the One Ring on the collar of Richard Taylor's coat?
I can think of a negative way to do it on velvet -- create a metal template with the letters cut/acided out, press the velvet with the template, and voila, stand-up velvet letters on a crushed velvet garment -- but I don't know enough about velvet for doing it a positive way.
Although, I imagine you can program a baseball-cap-embroidery machine like you see in malls to embroider the pattern easily enough. Heck, I can write it freehand relatively well, and I'm no artist.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
IIRC, you can use an iron and a stamp-type thingy to emboss velvet. Just have to find/make a stamp of the inscription. (no I've never done it, just saw it on a website somewhere)

Thanks for all the fish.
Well, Beverly beat me to the explaination of Frodo's round scar. I agree that it was Shelob's stinger.
Was I the only one that suffered massive chills when the Rohirrim galloped into battle screaming 'DEATH DEATH DEATH'?
Because I'd find that very hard to believe.
Also, the movie very desperately needs to have The Houses of Healing in it.

How could the stinger leave a scar? Isn't it supposed to be a suppurating wound at that time? Also, wouldn't it be where we can't see it, since where we could see would have been mithril covered?

Thanks for all the fish.
Hmm.. Interesting points, ita.
But... I recall that it was an open wound in the orc tower, and a healed one in Minas Tirith.
I could be wrong.
Your point about the mithril protecting him is valid.

I don't remember seeing anything open in the orc tower. And I just realised that mentally I had him waking up in Rivendell, which makes absolutely no sense. Back to Minas Tirith he goes.

And yes, it must be said. Elijah Wood should be nominated for Hero of the Board, since he takes the simple and time honored tradition of skulls colliding and all unintentional like makes it slash.
Oh, and my other favorite thing is that the Art Department made a door the Uruk-Hai couldn't knock down. They can build my castle any day.
And they had the same Swordmaster as The Princess Bride. Sweet.
