Character context from Middle-earth
Tolkien built many characters from layered languages and histories, so names and titles often carry meaning (like “Elessar” or “Mithrandir”) beyond a simple label.
Several figures also have multiple names across cultures and ages, which is why character trivia can test both story knowledge and lore awareness.
