Wow, I was right... :o

Only one female Dwarf was given a name in Tolkien's work, what was her name, and to whom was she related?

Give it to Olle, he had a better answer.

You're both wrong!

... Just kidding. :wink:

Do to Ingold's polite insistince, and the fact that Olle named more relatives (Including Thorin, whom I considered most important), it's your go, Olle. :)

Great job, both of you. :yay:

A burden on their back,
These bones in a sack,
they stalk at night,
to give Hobbits a fright.

What race am I referencing to with this utterly vile poem?

The poem refers to Mewlips, also known as gorcrows.

In what year of the Fourth age did Will Whitfoot resign his position as Mayor of Michel Delving, and who replaced him?

I'm going to say Will Whitfoot was replaced by Samwise Gamgee in the year 6 of the Fourth Age. :)

Are you sure? I checked it now on Wikipedia, and:
Wikipedia wrote:
The Appendix of The Return of the King says that in F.A. 7 (S.R. 1427), Sam was elected Mayor of the Shire for the first of seven consecutive seven-year terms.

Not that it matters though, I just want to be sure about what's the right answer. :) :roll:

The Thains Book says differently, Olle, and I put more faith in them personally. I'll the check the appendix, and see if it is... :oops:
