Pi Day in Middle-earth Can't Post

To play, respond to this post.

In your post subject, simply continue the previous expansion of pi by one digit. If the thread has reached 3.1415, you post your response with the subject line: 3.14159

In the body of your post, explain how the digit you added represents an exact and known number of some part of Tolkien's Middle-earth. I'll do the first few responses, to get things.... rolling.

It may be easy at first, but I suspect it will get harder. What we don't know is when it will finally end... if it ever does.
