Which Elf am I?

[Lasgalen]

I would like to start a game called "Which Elf am I" I would say something like "I was in the fellowship" and someone would answer
"Legolas" and go next. Would be a good way to learn more about the Elves as no doubt some of the posts will be hard. I will start with an easy one to get the ball rolling.

My father remarried, giving me two half-brothers.
Who am I?

-Lasgalen

[Aulë]

Easy-> Fëanor

OK,

I was almost killed by a dwarf, but was eventually slayed accidentely by my best friend.
Who am I?

[Lasgalen]

Beleg Strongbow.

-Lasgalen

[Aulë]

Yes, you're up.

[Lasgalen]

I led a Man to a secret place. Which Elf am I?

-Lasgalen

[CelebrianTiwele]

ummmm Felegund?

[Lasgalen]

No.

-Lasgalen

[Anamatar IV]

I have a feeling you mean Luthien...but Doriath wasn't exactly hidden. Morgoth knew where it was but because of the Girdle of Melian he couldn't get there.

[Nóm]

Voronwe.

I spilled my guts to Thingol about Feanor & Sons, and the Kinslaying. Which elf am I?

[Aulë]

Angrod?

[Lasgalen]

Yes Nom. Voronwe is answer.

-Lasgalen

Corrrect, and well done Pippin. :D

Excellent game, but I'll stay out of it now.

[Aulë]

I was the greatest left-handed swordsman on Middle-Earth

[CelebrianTiwele]

Maedhros? if its right someone else can go. I'm about to leave for like, 2 weeks. if its not please shoot me cuz I'm reading the sil rite now (for the 2nd time)

[Aulë]

Yes, that is correct,
Since you shaln't be asking the next question, I might as well.


I imprisoned a King of Durin's Line in my dungeons. In those same dungeons I imprisoned a 'sneaky' character.

[Maeglin]

that is excessively easy, Thranduil.

I assisted several Hobbits in a time of great fear for them while being pursued by men in black in their homeland. (very easy, I know)

[Aulë]

lol- That would have to be Gildor.....


"I became King after a secret place was destroyed"
(another easy one)

[Maeglin]

lol- that's Gil-Galad.

I was buried in a mound of stone beside a high pass, and yellow flowers bloomed upon my grave in the barrenness of stone, until the world was changed. (shouldn't be too difficult)

[Aulë]

That would have to be Glorfindel of Gondolin.


"

[Maeglin]

nope, sorry! ok maybe the clue wasn't good enough.....but I'll wait a while before I give a hint.

[Aulë]

Are you sure?
I'm positive about this

[Maeglin]

wait a minute!! you were right lol!! for some reason I saw the words Finrod Felagund in that last post of yours!!! I dunno, I guess I must've been reading the wrong post, sorry about that, go ahead!!! oh and btw I feel very stupid right now.:rolleyes:

[Aulë]

lol, you saw correctly. It was Finrod, but I edited it without knowing that you posted.
Anyways,

"I got my revenge for my brother's death, but was captured by the enemy afterwards."

[Lasgalen]

Gwindor

-Lasgalen

[Aulë]

Yep,
You're up.

[Lasgalen]

My wife died in that frozen waste land up north.

-Lasgalen

[Maeglin]

Turgon, I'm almost 100% sure but not quite so I won't post a new one until you confirm it.

[Lasgalen]

Yes. Turgon is the answer.

-Lasgalen

[Maeglin]

My mother was murdered in the presence of my uncle, and the murderer was then thrown from a high place as his death punishment.

[Bethelarien]

Maeglin?

[Maeglin]

Yep! your turn

[Bethelarien]

Okey dokey!

I was the chief of the Elves of Nargothrond who accompanied Finrod and Beren, and I died in the dungeons of Tol-in-Gaurhoth.

[Aulë]

Edrahil

[Bethelarien]

Yup! Go ahead, your turn!

[Aulë]

"I forged Anglachel"

[Bethelarien]

Oooooh...caught without a copy of the Sil! I'll have to wait til I get home, now! And someone will probably guess before me! :(

[Eöl]

That was me...in a sense... Eol the Dark Elf.

I get the next one...

I was the third son of Finarfin, and I was killed in the Dagor Bragollach.

[Lasgalen]

Angrod.

My younger brother and I were left to die in the forest.

-Lasgalen

[Aulë]

Eluréd or Eluríd?

[Lasgalen]

Elured is who I was thinking. Go ahead Aule

-Lasgalen

[Aulë]

"My mother was born on a night of stars, who's light glittered in the spray of a waterfall."

[Lasgalen]

I am not sure, but I will guess Elrond son of Elwing.

[Aulë]

Indeed, that is correct. :)

[Lasgalen]

I watched a Man kill an Elf, and, instead of running away, I led him to my home so he could cause the death of more Elves.

[Anamatar IV]

Gwindor. Or, if you want, Flinding go-Fuilin.;)

"I repented and was saved but alas for my brothers and sons did not."

[Scatha]

Feanor?

[Anamatar IV]

Not Feanor.

He didn't repent.

[Aulë]

Finarfin?

[Anamatar IV]

Finarfin father of Finrod brother of Fingolfin is correct.:)

[Aulë]

"I befriended many of other races, and I took a path of darkness but was unfazed."

[Maeglin]

Eol?

[Aulë]

Nope.

[Lasgalen]

Could it be Legolas?

[Aulë]

Yes, that is correct.

[Lasgalen]

I had 6 children, but mostly only 3 are mentioned.

[Aulë]

Hmmm, I'll have a wild guess and say Fingolfin.

[Lasgalen]

No. Not Fingolfin.

[Anamatar IV]

Maybe not Fingolfin but his daddy, Finwe?

[Lasgalen]

Yes Finwe is correct. His daughters are rarely mentioned.

[Anamatar IV]

I am a loremaster of languages found seldomly.

[Nóm]

One just for me? :)

Thank you.

You must mean Pengolodh, only found in HoME.

If so...

"I have reddish hair as do two of my younger brothers. Which elf am I?"

Note: Answer not found in Published Silmarillion

[Lasgalen]

Maedhros (Maidros). Not 100% so will not ask new one till I get confirmation.

[Lasgalen]

I made the 'Lament for the Two Trees'

[Bethelarien]

Would that be Elemmire? Sorry, my computer doesn't do accents or the little two-dot thingamajig.

[Aulë]

I believe that it was indeed Elemmíre 'Star-jewel'. So I guess you're up 'Beth of the Short Hair'.

[Bethelarien]

Heh heh. Actually, I know it's right, because I looked it up last night.

Moving right along...

I'll have to post one later tonight, as I have to run to class.

[Lasgalen]

Originally posted by Bethelarien

I can't do the accents or dots either. ;)

[Bethelarien]

Okay. Here's the next one:

I was an important Elf in Doriath, but was killed by the Master of Doom.

[Lasgalen]

Beleg Strongbow

[Bethelarien]

Oooh, I guess that would be right. But that's not who I was thinking about. How about this to clarify:

I angered and insulted Doom, and he chased and killed me for it.

[Aulë]

Saeros?

[Bethelarien]

Yup. Sorry about the confusion, my bad.

[Aulë]

"I helped 3 travellers on their journey whilst I was on my own."

[Bethelarien]

How about a clue?

[Aulë]

LOL- I forgot what the answer was....


EDIT: Ah yes, I remember now.
(Continiuing from previous hint) "I am an Elf of the House of Finrod, and I have met Frodo and Bilbo"

[Maeglin]

Gildor Inglorion!!!

[Aulë]

Yep, that's it.
You're up.:)

[Maeglin]

I led the Grey-Elves into the south in order to escape the Shadow..... (tell me if that's too vague, this one might have been done already too, but I can't remember and I don't want to re-read the whole thread)

[Aulë]

Círdan the Shipwright?

[Maeglin]

nope, sorry

[Aulë]

Elu Thingol?

[Maeglin]

Wrong again. Okay here's a better hint, but it's a dead giveaway..... I raised Tuor like a son.

[Lasgalen]

Annael

[Maeglin]

yep, your turn!:)

[Lasgalen]

I was slain on Amon Ereb in the first battle of Beleriand

[Aulë]

Denethor

[Lasgalen]

Correct

[Aulë]

I'm a Noldorin Elf, originally of Angrod's people. After the Dagor Bragollach, I wandered into the southern regions of Beleriand, and settled with the people of Círdan the Shipwright. I was later sent by Círdan, as a messenger to Nargothrond.

[Lasgalen]

Gelmir (but not the brother of Gwindor-the other Gelmir)

[Aulë]

Yep, Gelmir of Angrod’s People

You're up.

[Lasgalen]

I loved a Man who did not love me back.

[Eöl]

Finduilas and Turin?

[Lasgalen]

Correct. I was indeed thinking of Finduilas.

[Eöl]

This one should be pretty easy for those who paid attention in The Silmarillion...

Seven wounds I gave to Morgoth, but I received the greatest from him. My body was born away on wings of an eagle, and mourned for in the ages.

[Inderjit S]

Fingolfin

Here is mine:

I'm the tallest of the Noldor and was named after my father.

[Nóm]

Inder is here! Hooray! :D

A little tricky there, Inder.

Now we learn in the Silmarillion that Turgon is second in height only to Thingol the Sinda, yet Turgon wasn't named after his father (who's mother name was Arakano) - Arakano (sindarin form is Argon) was, and is said to have been taller than all of his brothers: therefore, more tall than Turgon.



"I insulted the messy hair of a man."

[Lasgalen]

Originally posted by Nóm

"I insulted the messy hair of a man."

Saeros.

One of my sons had his hands and feet chopped off

[Inderjit S]

Indeed you are right, Arakano/Argon was the tallest of he Noldor. (Penlod of FoG is also said to be taller then Turgon but he is never mentioned again).

Lasgalen the answer to your question is Guilin, whose son, Gelmir, who was captured in the Braggolach and whose mutilation you have described led to the charge of the Noldor and the start of the Nirnaeth.

Next question: I'm a 'foxy' Elf ;)

[Nóm]

Mahtan? Had the nick name of rusco (fox).

[Lasgalen]

Has everyone lost interest in this thread? :(

[Nóm]

I am pretty sure my answer is correct.

So:

'I out lived my brothers who died in flame and fangs.'

Perhaps a bit of a riddle.

[BlackCaptain]

Wow! Believe it or not I am in the Guild of Elves! Just remembered! Could it be Finarfin?

[Beleg]

Maglor?

[Manveru]

Originally posted by Nóm

Perhaps a bit of a riddle.
Is it Orodreth?
Orodreth's brothers were Angrod and Aegnor (who died in the 'Dagor Bragollach-Battle of Sudden Flame') and Finrod Felagund (who died fighting with wolf-->'fangs').

[Lasgalen]

Galadriel? For all the reasons Manveru gave plus Orodreth died during the sack of Nargothrond (Glaurung had both flame and fangs)

[Manveru]

Originally posted by Lasgalen

:D I haven't thought about that;) Good point, Lasgalen:D

[Nóm]

I was looking for Orodreth.

I guess I might have taken Galadriel too, had she been named first. :D

[Manveru]

Cool:D I'll post my question (riddle or whatever it might be;)) in due time (I must read all thread first to avoid repetition-->uff, long way;)).

[Manveru]

Ok, here it is:

''I slew the 'slayer of Feanor' and perished at the same time.''

Who am I?

[Anamatar IV]

Originally posted by Manveru

''I slew the 'slayer of Feanor' and perished at the same time.''

Ecthelion.

I left my love for a new life and when that life ended, I was with my love again.

[BlackCaptain]

Lúthien?

[Anamatar IV]

No, not Luthien.

[Lasgalen]

Finrod Felagund

[Manveru]

From his post I think he meant Orodreth as an answer to his question/riddle, but he was willing to accept Galadriel (if it had been posted earlier--> I think before my post with 'Orodreth' as the answer).

[Manveru]

Sorry, Nom for that 'his' stuff... I didn't do that intentionally... I didn't know You are a woman *burning to dust right where sitting**begging for pardon* :o :o

[Lasgalen]

Well I am pretty sure I got the answer right.

I loved the most beautiful Elf, but could not have her so I betrayed her.

[Celebthôl]

Maeglin? fancying Finduilas

[Beleg]

This would be Searos. And Maeglin never ever even met Finduilas...

[Celebthôl]

ooops, i meant in Gondolin, that women he liked....his cousin...

[Anamatar IV]

Do you mean Idril, Thol?

[Nóm]

Daeron, I say.

[Celebthôl]

Originally posted by Anamatar IV

I probibly do, i havnt read the Sil in ages...

[Beleg]

Daeron, I say.

I can't believe I mixed up Searos and Dearon!! :eek:

Shakes Head...

[Lasgalen]

Nom is correct. Daeron is who I was thinking of.

[Nóm]

My father and his father, and even his father's father were kings. My son's son was a King, but I was not, nor was my spouse or child.

[Lasgalen]

Idril? Her grandson, Elros became a king of Edain

[Nóm]

Correct.

[Lasgalen]

My brother and I are identical in face. Whether we followed our father or our uncle, no one really knows.

[Manveru]

Aegnor and Angrod, sons of Finarfin?

[Lasgalen]

No. Not who I was thinking of.

[Manveru]

So then it must be Amrod and Amras, sons of Feanor... right?;)

[Lasgalen]

We know they followed their father. The brothers I am looking for no one really knows if they went the path of their father or went the path of their uncle.

[Manveru]

Elrohir and Elladan, sons of Elrond Half-elven?

I wasn't sure whether to type their names (I must check that out in the books;)), but they came to my mind and so... I decided to 'shot'. Am I right on that, Lasgalen?

(off to check the books;):D)

[Lasgalen]

Yes. They are the ones I was thinking of. As far as I know, Tolkien never states if they chose Elfkind like their father or to be counted among the Edain like their uncle.

[Manveru]

Yeah.... Right on 'target'-->about my 'shot':D;)

[Manveru]

I was called 'The Steadfast'... 'lucky' mariner... I met the 'messanger of woe' and led him to my city...

Which Elf am I?

[Bethelarien]

Well, Hurin was called The Steadfast.

But I'm assuming you're referring to Voronwe, who led Tuor to Gondolin?

[Manveru]

I was looking for Voronwe (also 'The Steadfast'--check out The Published Silmarillion - Index;)).

You're next:D

[Eikaron Hiro]

Can I join in?

I have two rather well known brothers, and my Grandson was called the 'Wisest elf in Middle-earth" Qui suis-je?

[Lasgalen]

Generally you need to get one answered correctly before asking a new one. It is Bethelarien's turn. Maybe we could give her a little more time.

[Bethelarien]

My son betrayed his mother's home.

[Manveru]

Aredhel, daughter of Fingolfin, Thingol's sister, Maeglin's mother...
Is that right?

[Bethelarien]

Close, but not who I was thinking of.

[Manveru]

Eol, the Dark Elf... Aredhel's husband... father of Maeglin (the traitor)????????

:D

[Bethelarien]

Very good! :D Even if it did take you two tries....;)

[Manveru]

After all... Maeglin had both parents (so two tries was enough;)).

Q: ''My father and my husband were both great craftsmen.''

Who am I?

[Beleg]

Miriel

[Manveru]

Nope... but close;)

[Beleg]

Ouch, I posted Miriel when I wanted to post, Nerdanel. :(
That's the second time this has happened.

[Manveru]

Now you're perfectly right, Cúthalion

Next question, please...

:D

[Beleg]

What is the name of the heaven of Tol Eressa?

[Manveru]

Alqualonde?

[Beleg]

No.

[BlackCaptain]

The incoming ships area/bay? If not my guess is The Lonely Isle

[Manveru]

It's Avallónë, isn't it?

[Manveru]

Q: 'My grandson befriended a Dwarf.'

[Beleg]

Feanor, although Tolkien was in many minds where to place Celebrimbor.

[Manveru]

And here we have a 'small' problem...
Celebrimbor was indeed a friend of Dwarves, but I was looking for a different person than Feanor...(maybe my question was to general;)).

Maybe a small hint (I didn't want to add this at first, 'cause everyone would probably guess;))
Q: 'My grandson befriended a Dwarf and took part in Fellowship.'

:D

[Lasgalen]

Oropher?

[Manveru]

Originally posted by Lasgalen
Oropher?
Yup, your turn Lasgalen;)

[Lasgalen]

I took over leading our people westward after my brother disappeared.

[Manveru]

Olwe brother of Elwe (who became Elu Thingol and remained in Middle-earth...)?

[BlackCaptain]

I wonder how that couldn't be the right answer... Manveru I assume you're up...

[Manveru]

OK, OK... it's the old habit from the other forum (waiting for confirmation--old habits die hard;)).

Q: ''Together with my brothers, Haldir and Rumil, I helped the Fellowship...''

[Lasgalen]

Orophin.

I came up with a writing system which was later bettered by another Elf.

[Nóm]

Rumil (not Haldir's brother ;))

I discovered men in the Vale of Sleep.

[Manveru]

Finrod Felagund?

[Beleg]

Nuin.

[jlday]

My name means golden-haired elf.
My face is full of laughter,
and in my hand is strength,
on my brow is wisdom.
Who am I?

[Bethelarien]

Jlday, you must correctly answer the previous riddle in order to post your own.

[Nóm]

Sorry... I guess Beleg has been waiting for me to tell him that he is correct.


Well Beleg, you are correct. It was Nuin. Nice name change, by the way. :p

[Beleg]

Thanks Nom. :)
Is the answer to your riddle Finarfin, jlday?

On to my Question,

I was the last and yet the first.
I was a Noldor and yet sang.
Of the people of the king in Beleriand.

[Nóm]

I believe jlday was looking for Glorfindel.

As for your riddle Beleg... I don't know! :o

And I call myself a fan of the Noldor... shame! :D

[Beleg]

The answer to my riddle is Gildor Inglorin!
He was of the house of Finrod. He was the last person in the line and was the first to speak.

[Lasgalen]

Are you going to post a new riddle for us?

[Nóm]

Whose turn should it be now?

And Beleg, you didn't have to tell the answer to yours!:confused:

[Beleg]

I am sorry, since some days had passed and no reply was forthcoming I thought it prudent to post the answer. Now I feel I errored.

When the world was young and stars glowed,
and in the pretty vales of Arda rivers flowed.

When the Quendi were happy and gay,
singing, hunting with little to say.

The metal workers, the oldest clan,
In there isn't found my wanted man.

Am I correct in saying she is a man?
For she loveth him of whom I am a fan.

Far she wondered in covered forests,
never daring the stony mansions,
and brought she forth a stunning witness,
to terminate the unjust condemning sanction.

[Lasgalen]

Could it be Nellas?

[Beleg]

Yes It can be.

[Lasgalen]

My brother met an Elf with the same name as me years after I died.

[Nóm]

Gelmir, Gwindor's brother.



My siblings called me Ingoldo.

[Nóm]

...and my siblings are one sister and three brothers.

[Beleg]

Finrod; your conditions don't apply on Fingolfin.

[Lasgalen]

Originally posted by Nóm

[Nóm]

Yes, it is Finrod.

I also would have taken 'Ingoldo' if anyone wanted to get wise about it. :p

[Beleg]

Since I can't think of anyone, Lasgen can post one if he wants to.
:(

[Khôr’nagan]

I am new, and would like to give it a shot:

I am he from days far past
But of my name was not the last
For after death I was reborn
In the same body I had long worn
And great to be seen was I
Not just by who knew I once did die
So back I came into the land
And in great wars I leant a hand
And I was of the greatest Lords
Ever to cross the Gaurded Fords.

Well?

[Lasgalen]

Thanks Beleg. I apologize for not seeing your post. :o

(an easy one) I had more than one wife. Who am I?


(Khôr’nagan, I am guessing yours is Glorfindel)

[Beleg]

Finwe.

[Lasgalen]

Correct. I was thinking of Finwë

[Khôr’nagan]

Yeah, Glorfindel is right.

[Lasgalen]

A very good poem. I wish I could write questions that way. They sound and look so much nicer.

[Beleg]

I was known for my foolishness but also for my wisdom.
I was eager but prudent.
And she loved me much before he swept her away.

[Nóm]

Hmmm must be Gwindor?

Since I'm not sure I'll wait for you to get back.

[Beleg]

It's Gwindor. :)

[Nóm]

"I am taller than all other elves and men."

[Lasgalen]

Hmmm. Was that Thingol?

[Lasgalen]

I married a Man. Or maybe he was an Elf:confused: Well, whatever he was, I married the heir of an Elven kingdom.

[Khôr’nagan]

Arwen Undomiel?

[Lasgalen]

No. I am not Arwen. I died before Arwen was born.

[Nóm]

Nimloth...

What happened to all the interest in this game. It's much better than the trivia games in the other forums.

[Lasgalen]

Yes. I am Nimloth

I agree. I like the trivia games, but this is much more fun. Seems like interest in general has been waning.

[Nóm]

This game is best because it is all about elves. :p

I have more younger brothers than any other elf, as far as is known!

[Beleg]

Meadhros

[Khôr’nagan]

Yes, interest has wained... For others. My interest has only just begun to wax, and its waxing period will probably be longer than my life span. (that is not a riddle). Anyway, I agree.... Is it Maedhros?

[Nóm]

Your go, Lasgalen. Maedhros is correct. :)

[Beleg]

When did Lasgalen post?:confused:

[Manveru]

Originally posted by Beleg

[Lasgalen]

I posted about 3 minutes before you, but then I deleted it because I was going to be out of town for 5 days. So that is why she said 'Lasgalen'. Sorry. I didn't mean to confuse anybody.

[Lasgalen]

Is anyone still interested in this game?

[Scatha]

As nobody has posted in here for about a month, I shall take that as a NO and proceed to close this thread.
