LOTR Trivia (Part 1)

[Ceorl]

Gwaihir, Landroval, Meneldor.

What, according to Aragorn, is the fairest thing in Rohan?

[Adrastea]

'Eowyn'

Where on Anduin river did Aragorn and his company take over the main fleet of Umbar in RoTK?

[Ceorl]

They first found the invaders at the mouth of the River Gilrain, but came upon the main host at Pelargir.

What does Evinyatar mean?

[gate7ole]

You got me here.
I have no idea. I also didn't find it anywhere.
Are you sure it's Lotr Trivia?

[Ceorl]

Yip I am sure, I will give you a hint; it is in RoTK

[Lantarion]

Rrrgh.. Forgive me, I cannot resist!! It means 'Renewer'. Sorry! :p

[Ceorl]

You got it Lantarion! how ever you forgot to 'renew' the question chain, so I will ask one:

Where do the Ents normally hold their 'moots'?

[gate7ole]

Ents hold their Moots at Derndingle.

What is the name of a famous strain of pipe-wood from the Southfarhing?

[Goldberry]

Old Toby?

[gate7ole]

Right, your turn.

[gate7ole]

Whom did the spirits inhabiting the "Paths of the Dead" had betrayed?

[Eliot]

Isildur? Am I right?

[gate7ole]

Right Isildur. But you don't have to ask for confirmation. Just ask your next question and if your answer was wrong... don't worry we will reject your question:D

[Eliot]

Name all 4 children of Paladin II Took.

[gate7ole]

Pearl, Pimpernel, Pervinca and Penegrin. All Tooks of course.

Where were the Great Smials located?

[Eliot]

Tuckborough?

What was the name of Denethor II's wife?

[gate7ole]

Finduilas.

And how did she die?

[Eliot]

I've looked all over to find that out but pretty much all that I've found is that the shadow in the east filled her with horror. Does it even say anywhere?

Not even the encycopedia of arda gives an answer:eek: :confused: :eek:

[Niniel]

Yes, I believe there's something about it in the Appendices to LOTR. But I don't remember what exactly.

[gate7ole]

She died of grief, but there was an event that triggered her fading. Does anyone remember which?

[Eliot]

I don't know. I'm geuss I'll do the next question.

What is the status of all the rings created during the second age.


Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

[Anamatar IV]

the 3 rings were hidden
the 7 were either consumed by dragons or in saurons possession
the 9 i *think* we worn by the nazgul or maybe sauron had them
the One was with Frodo, bilbo, sam, gollum, deagol, a time with bombadil (only about 2 minutes :D ), some time with gandalf, and the next owner was a firey chasm with hot stuff at the bottom. Next question someone else can post.

[gate7ole]

For my question, the answer was that Finduilas was grieved to death because she perceived the change of her husband, Denethor, who secretly tried the palantiri and it proved disastrous for his health and wisdom.

How did the last king of the Northern Kingdom perish?

[Eliot]

Arvedui, was drowned when his ship sunk in the icebay of Forochel.

What siege was King Ciryahil killed in?

[gate7ole]

I don't think anywhere it is stated how Ciryaher died.
Or do you mean Ciryandil who died during the siege of Umbar?

[Eliot]

Yes, exactly. I'm sorry. I got some names mixed up.
Your question.

[gate7ole]

Who founded the realm of dwarves in the Iron Hills?

[Eliot]

Gror

What was Mirkwood renamed after the war of the ring and what was the meaning of the name?

[Maeglin]

It was renamed Greenwood the Great, which was its original name long ago before evil entered it and made it "mirkwood"

What is the lore of Living Creatures? (just the free peoples though)

[Eliot]

Sorry. I didn't explain, but the answer that I was looking for was "Eryn Lasgalen" the wood of greenleaves.That's all right, I'll count that as a right answer.

[gate7ole]

Here is the lore of Living Creatures:
First name the four, the free peoples: Eldest of all, the elf-children; Dwarf the delver, dark are his houses; Ent the earthborn, old as mountains; Man the mortal, master of horses. Beaver the builder, buck the leaper, Bear bee-hunter, boar the fighter; Hound is hungry, hare is fearful. Eagle in eyrie, ox in pasture, Hart horn-crowned; hawk is swiftest Swan the whitest, serpent coldest.
and Half-grown hobbits, the hole-dwellers.

Who was the visionaire that prophechied that Arvedui would be the last king?

[Anamatar IV]

are you sure the one who prophecied Arvedui would be the last king and not theone who said the line of kings would end when the white tree did?

[gate7ole]

Well, he prophecied many things.

[Lantarion]

Was it Malbeth the Seer?

[gate7ole]

Right. Go on to the next question

[Eliot]

Name all the grandchildren of Balbo Baggins.

[Niniel]

Bungo, Belba, Longo, Linda, Bingo, Rosa, Polo and Fosco.

Who was Gilraen's father?

[gate7ole]

Dirhael

And how many years did Aragorn live until his father died?

[Eliot]

Aragorn was two years old.

What battle was Beren's last?

[Maeglin]

umm aren't we doing LotR, Beren is from the Sil

[Eliot]

Fine, skip it. I guess somebody else can come up with one.

[gate7ole]

Who destroyed the Bagshot Row?

[Maeglin]

"Sharky" Lotho Baggins

How many Riders of Rohan did Legolas see from afar in the chapter "The Riders of Rohan?"

[Anamatar IV]

woah!!!! Sharky was NOT Lotho Baggins. Youve got the right answer...just say it correctly.

[gate7ole]

Anamatar is correct. Sharky is Saruman's nickname.

[Maeglin]

oh sorry about that guys:o, anyway my question still awaits an answer

[Grond]

105

What was Gimli's granfather's name?

[gate7ole]

You mean from the the father's side or the mother's?
Just kidding. It's Groin.

Another question about the dwarves.
Under who's kingship was the Balrog of Moria awakened?

[Eliot]

Durin VI

Who was the great, great grandfather of Balin, Dwalin, Oin and Gloin?

[gate7ole]

Nain II
Who were the leaders of the three armies of Rohan during the War of the Ring?

[Maeglin]

Elfhelm, Grimbold, and Eomer, and Denethor, I found 4.



What is the name of the messenger of Gondor that came to the Riders of Rohan?

[Eliot]

Widfara.

Name all five Istari.

[Grond]

Only three are named in the LotR. I can't answer cause I'm banned from participating. :)

[Eliot]

Well, fine. This is going to make it so easy. Just name the three Istari named in LOTR.

[Niniel]

Mithrandir (Gandalf), Curunír (Saruman) and Radagast. And Alatar and Pallando of course.

What is the Elvish name of the River Running?

[gate7ole]

Originally posted by Grond

Who banned you from participating Grond? And for what reason?

The River Running is called in elvish Celduin.

Under whose kingship did Gondor's realm captured Haradwaith and under whose it captured the East Lands north of Mordor?

[Anamatar IV]

Grond isnt participating for the same reason that many of us arent. First--He has probably read LotR about 30 times and spins off answers off the top of his head, 2nd---He has the works on his computer so i dont think its be fair.

[Grond]

*snickers*

[Anamatar IV]

*gasp* Is that spam from a mod?!?!?!?! :eek: :eek:

[Eliot]

This is what you said gate7ole:

"Under whose kingship did Gondor's realm captured Haradwaith and under whose it captured the East Lands north of Mordor?"

In that question, do you mean 2 kings or one. I might be wrong, but I'm going to guess: Narmacil I (Romendacil).

If so, what year and age was Minas Ithil and a palantir taken by the Nazgul?

[gate7ole]

No, I want 2 kings. The first captured the East-Lands and the second Haradwaith.
And neither of them is Romendacil. He had a victory over the easterlings, but he didn't conquer their lands.

[Eliot]

I hope I get this right...


Ciryaher (Hyermendacil) conquered the Haradwaith.
Turambar conquered the Easterlings.

[gate7ole]

Yes this is right!

[Eliot]

YAY! I got it right! Here's one of my questions that didn't get answered cuz' I had to answer your's.

What year and age was Minas Ithil and a palantir taken by the Nazgul?

[gate7ole]

Minas Ithil was captured in 2002. Probably the Nazgul laid hand on the palantir at the same year.

Then:
What was the capital of Gondor during its first years of reign?
(it may or may not be tricky:D )

[Maeglin]

Osgiliath

now: Who seized Osgiliath and took the throne after burning The Tower of the Dome of Osgiliath?

also may or may not be tricky

[gate7ole]

I think I found your tricky point. It is not the Nazgul you're after.
It is Castamir who seized Osgiliath during the kin-strife.

Correct? If yes then,
Which events probably triggered the contruction of the beacons of Gondor?

(by the way Glorfindel1187, this was a most intelligent question. I hope you have more of this)

[Maeglin]

It is long since the beacons of the north were lit, and in the ancient days of Gondor they were not needed, for they had the Seven Stones.

I'm not sure what kind of an answer you're looking for, it could be because of all the attacks from Mordor, but I am going with the quote I posted, probably because they lost most of their palantiri.

What did Gandalf tell Pippin he was(or what his role was) in the War of the Ring? (hint:think board games)

[gate7ole]

Well, nobody has answered your question Glorfindel. I too can’t think of a possible answer. It must have something to do with Pippin’s use of the palantir, but I’m not sure. A wild guess: he was a pawn.
Glorfindel, just give us the answer. I don’t think we’ll find it.

[Maeglin]

You got it, he was a Pawn!
A pawn did Gandalf say? Perhaps, but on the wrong chessboard.

lol Next time I'll think of an easier one.

[Incánus]

How does Frodo hurt the Nazgul when they attack him at Weathertop?

[Eliot]

Um... I think he stabbed a Nazgul in the stomach. I'm really not sure...

[Maeglin]

He stabbed the Nazgul in the foot.

What kind of Runes were used on Balin's tomb? Or maybe it should be Who's runes were used, i'm not sure.

[Anamatar IV]

actually glorfindel that is not entirely correct:

At the same time he struck at the feet...

'Look,' he cried; and stopping he lifted from the ground a black cloak that had lain there hidden by the darkness. A foot above the lower hem there was a slash. 'This was the stroke of Frodo's sword. The only hurt it did to his enemy, I fear, for it is unharmed. More deadly to him was the name of Elbereth.

So really the hurt was the name Elbereth but carry on.

[gate7ole]

If you’re seeking the person inventing the runes, the answer is Rumil.

So, my question is which people developed Rumil’s runes

[Maeglin]

Rumil?

"These are Daeron's Runes, such as were used of old in Moria," said Gandalf. "Here is written in the tongues of Men and Dwarves: Balin Son of Funduin
Lord of Moria."


But whatever it was a badly worded question, so I'll give you credit, carry on.

[gate7ole]

Well, the Runes were originally invented by Rumil and then developed by Daeron. So, one can either use Rumil or Daeron for such a question.

[Eliot]

I guess I'll do the next question.

What island is on the Brandywine River?

[Maeglin]

Gate7ole's question must first be answered before you can ask.

[Eliot]

Um... I think he just told us his answer. Or maybe I'm just a bit confused. :)

[gate7ole]

Eliot is correct. The question was almost answered by me (except that Feanor also developed the Runes).
So, about Eliot's new question:
Girdley Island.

Which is the most populated town of the Shire?

[Incánus]

Buckland.

Who did Bullroarer Took kill?

[krash8765]

Golfimbul at the Battle of the Greenfields

Who is Theoden's door man who collects the weapons?

[Maeglin]

Hama

What nick-name does Theoden give Gandalf? (hint- it means Ill-news)

[Anamatar IV]

I think it was actually grima who named gandalf Lathspell.

With what weapon did frodo get stabbed with in the chamber of mazarbul?

[Eliot]

He was stabbed with a spear by an Orc Chieftain.

What were the names of the brothers of Haldir the Elf?

[7doubles]

rumil, orophin
what treasure did tom bombadil take from the barrow wight

[Incánus]

Lots of gold and other stuff, but particularly a broach and knives for Merry, Pippin and Sam.

What is Treebeard's full name in Entish? ....

Not really.

Who does Gandalf refer to when saying that even dragons couldn't destroy the Ring.

[Eliot]

I can't figure out where. Does he say it at the Council of Elrond?

[Niniel]

I would say Smaug, because there were no other dragons left when the Ring was made. But I'm not sure, nor do I know when Gandalf said this.
(So why am I posting this anyway, then?)

[gate7ole]

I guess the answer you want is Ancalagon. If I'm correct, then I think that this name was used by Gandalf as an example that not even such a powerful dragon could melt the Ring. Thus, Gandalf wasn't talking ony about this specific dragon, but about all dragons old and young.

[Eliot]

Since you answered the question gate7ole, you can ask next.

[gate7ole]

Name all the capitals of the kingdoms of the Dwarves (Longbeards). Hint: they are 4.

[Eliot]

I'm going to guess. Erebor, Iron Hills, the Caves of Aglarond, and Moria.

[Manwë Súlimo]

I'll say Nogrod, Belegost, Khazad-Dum, and Erebor

[Eliot]

Well, this is only LOTR trivia.

[gate7ole]

Originally posted by Eliot

3 out of four are correct. The Caves of Aglarond are not correct, because Gimli set there his realm and not the rightful descendant of Durin's folk.
You're missing one last capital.
Originally posted by Manwë Súlimo
I'll say Nogrod, Belegost, Khazad-Dum, and Erebor

Norgod and Belegost were dwarf realms but not of Durin's folk (the Longbeards).

And this IS a Lotr Trivia.

[Eliot]

Hmmmmm...

I'm not sure of the other capital. Were there ever Dwarves in the Ered Luin (Blue Mountains) in western Eriador?

[gate7ole]

Right!
Here's a full account for all who want don't know:
Khazad-dûm (from the beginning until III 1981)
Erebor (until 2190)
Grey Mountains (until 2589)
Erebor (until 2790)
Blue Mountains(until 2941)
Erebor (until at least 3019)
Khazad-dûm (until nowadays)

[Eliot]

Okay, I guess I'll do the next question.

Who was the mother of Faramir and Boromir? Kinda easy :D

[Maeglin]

Finduilas

What foster name did Elrond give to Aragorn? also easy:D

[Manwë Súlimo]

I don't know of a name that Elrond gave to him but I know of Estel 'hope' that his mother gave to him, Elessar 'elfstone' that Galadriel gave to him, and Thorongil 'the Eagle of the Star' that he gave himself in Rohan. If any of these are it then:

Who gave the Keys of Orthanc to Saruman?

[Niniel]

Estel.

What was the family relationship between Merry and Pippin?

[Maeglin]

Whoa Whoa whoa! wait a minute! First of all, Estel is the correct answer, and second of all, Manwe got it right, so his quesion needs to be answered.

[Eliot]

Beren

Which King of Rohan vowed to never hunt any beast until all Orcs in Rohan were killed?

[Niniel]

Hey, that's weird. When I started typing Manwe's answer wasn't there yet.. he musthave typed faster than me (I spent some time looking for a question). Sorry! Well, I don't know the answer to your question right now, so someone else answer it please.

[Anamatar IV]

Originally posted by Eliot
Beren


Eliot that answer is incorrect. Beren died in the first age (or second I really dont know) and Saruman came over with the 4 other istari in the beginning of the third. So that question still needs answering:

Who gave the keys of Orthanc to Saruman?

[Grond]

*snickers* Errrrr.... ummmm.... Anamatar....
from The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A
It was for this reason that Beren welcomed Saruman, and gave to him the keys of Orthanc; and from that year on (2759) Saruman dwelt in Isengard.from The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A, The Southern Line, Heirs of Anarion
...Hallas 2605, Húrin II 2628, Belecthor I 2655, Orodreth 2685, Ecthelion I 2698, Egalmoth 2743, Beren 2763, Beregond 2811, Belecthor II 2872, Thorondir 2882, Túrin II 2914, Turgon 2953, Ecthelion II 2984, Denethor II. He was the last of the Ruling Stewards, and was followed by his second son Faramir, Lord of Emyn Arnen, Steward to King Elessar, F.A. 82.It was King Beren of Gondor who bestowed Isengard to Saruman in the TA 2759.

[Anamatar IV]

heehee. ummm....whoops. Carry on. was that the same beren from the sil? Because I dont remember that Beren being alive when Gondor came to be. *grr*

EDIT: WAIT A MINUTE GROND!!! You are wrong yourself!! *snickers*

originally posted by Grond
It was King Beren of Gondor

yet in the quote that you published it has the line of the ruling stewards. So beren was a steward of Gondor! yay for proving Grond wrong
;)

[Grond]

ROFL!! You are correct Anamatar. It was Steward Beren and not King Beren. Didn't read what I looked up. :)

[Celebthôl]

k i dont no wot question it is so um u were wrong anamatar there were 5 istarí, they were, Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast, Pollando and Alatar. :) (unless you weren't counting Radagast coz he was sent over to look after the beasts and trees, but then u are still wrong coz Pollando was brought over by Alatar as a friend, so there were three istarí who were intended to come, Gandalf, Saruman and Alatar)!

Thôl

[Eliot]

Hey, how about we answer Niniel's question? Something like "What was the relationship in between Pippin and Merry?".

I'm not exactly sure of what the answer is, and I'm too lazy to go find the answer :D

[Anamatar IV]

Saruman with the 4 OTHER istari.

But Eliots question needs answering first.

[Celebthôl]

2nd cousin 1nce removed on merry's mothers side!

(from the film probibly (sp) wrong)

Thôl

[Anamatar IV]

yes wrong. In the film they were actually talking about frodo:

"FRODO baggins. Hes my second cousin once removed on his mothers side."

[Celebthôl]

oh yeah, lol, i remember, duh, kill me now plz!

[Eliot]

This is my question that needs answering.

[Celebthôl]

errr theoden?

[Grond]

Folca!

From his description, it is apparent that he liked to eat, but he fought and died valiantly in the Battle of Pelennor Fields. Who is he?

[Celebthôl]

Forlong,

What is the name of the big round stone the Dunadain pass after the passes of the dead?

Thôl

[Eliot]

Umm....Erech?

I'm so stupid... :D

[Manwë Súlimo]

I can only think of "the Stone of the Oath" or "the Stone of Erech" so those will be my guesses.

[Celebthôl]

Erech is correct

[Eliot]

I guess I can do the question since I answered first.

What were the locations of all 7 palantir's at the height of Elendil's, Gil-Galad's, Isildur's, and Anarion's rule?

[gate7ole]

1.Amon Sul
2.Osgiliath
3.Annuminas
4.Tower Hills
5.Minas Morgul
6.Minas Tirith
7.Orthanc

My question is in which chronological order the palantiri were lost or taken away.

[Celebthôl]

wer'nt the tower hills apart of amon súl?
and where is Annuminas?

Thôl

[Eliot]

Use a map of Eriador. That should help. No, Amon Sul was part of the Weather Hills, I think. Annuminas is in northwestern Eriador, and the Tower Hills are out west by the Ered Luin.

[Maeglin]

Originally posted by gate7ole


My question is in which chronological order the palantiri were lost or taken away.

1. in the year 1437 the Palantir of Osgiliath was lost.
2. In the year 1975 the Palantiri of Annuminas and Amon Sul are lost.
3. The palantir of Minas Ithil is captured.
Saruman and Denethor held the others.

What is the Elvish word for Half-elven?

[Grond]

You're one palantir short. :)

[Maeglin]

Yeah I knew there was 7, I couldn't find what happened to the last one, I was hoping you would miss that:D. Okay well I am going to search for the fate of the last one now.

[Eliot]

#1 The palantir of Osgiliath lost in 1437
#2 The palantiri of Annuminas and Amon Sul are lost in 1975
#3 The palantir of Minas Ithil taken in 2002
#4 Saruman uses the palantir of Orthanc, Denethor II uses the palantir of Minas Tirith
#5 The palantir of Elostirion in the Tower Hills was taken back to Aman on the ring-bearers' ship


Who was the warden of the keys of Minas Tirith?


P.S.
Glorfindel1187, is the answer for your question "Peredhil"?

[Maeglin]

yep you got mine right

[Eliot]

Here is my question from earlier that didn't get answered.

"Who was the key warden of Minas Tirith?".

[Celebthôl]

errr ecthelion?

[Eliot]

I'm sorry, I didn't really explain the question. Who was the warden of the keys of Minas Tirith during the reign of Denethor II? It says near the end of ROTK.

[Anamatar IV]

moving right along...Hurin the tall.

Eomer says these words: "there is always a mist about the ______ ____ these days." what are the missing words.

[Celebthôl]

horse lands?

[gate7ole]

"horse lands" doesn't sound correct. Eomer wouldn't refer to his lands are horse lands.

Amanatar that's a hard question. We can only guess.
My guess is: White Mountains.

[Anamatar IV]

wrong. I will give a hint if anyone wants it.

[Maeglin]

please do......

[Celebthôl]

yes please but not like "he says it in elvish" or sumthing like that!

Thôl

[Anamatar IV]

It is said when one of his companions is the first word of the name. Something one of his companions is is the first of two words in what Eomer says...

[Celebthôl]

LMAO yeah coz that isn't the slightest bit confusing lol

[Anamatar IV]

his companions were all somthing. Aragorn was a king, theoden was a king, the hobbits were...hobbits...they were all something. but one of his companions was something that no one else was and what he was was the first word of two in the two words I am looking for.

[Celebthôl]

Elven Forest?

[Celebthôl]

Wizards Vale

[Niniel]

I'm too late... you found it! BTW, I think this is an excellent idea for a separate thread, don't you? Like the QQ but then where you have to fill in missing words in sentences.

[Celebthôl]

I'm too late... you found it!
is this refuring (sp) to me as in i have got the right answer?

Thôl

[Anamatar IV]

wizards vale is correct.

[Eliot]

Next question goes to Celebthol.

[Celebthôl]

hmmm hard to choose,

In the battle of The Last Alliance, what creatures are in each army?
i.e. Goblins in the bad side, Elves in the good side, what else in each side?
(hope this counts)

Thôl

[Anamatar IV]

celeb, I am skeptical about this question. Because only the elves were undivided. All elves were on the westron side but alot of men the eastern.

[Celebthôl]

fine i'll change it *sulks*

who was the fellowship originally intended to include if it was p to Elrond?

hope this is better

Thôl

[gate7ole]

I think he intended to include two elf-lords instead of Pippin and Merry. Probably Glorfindel. Right?

[Maeglin]

you beat me to it gate, but yes thats right, and I'm not sure if he was necessarily going to send Glorfindel, but anyway..... next quote

[Celebthôl]

well he did say Glofindell, and i think but your probibly right but he was going to send the older of Mer and Pip the other was to be sent back to the shire and warn them of what was going to happen. (i thought)

Thôl

ans it is ur go now Mr/s gate

[gate7ole]

What is the name of the trolls that Sauron bred and could endure the light?

[Celebthôl]

haha easy Olog-hai

and now i have no question

[Leto]

What is the name of the hill opposite Amon Hen, on the other side of the river?

[Goro Shimura]

Amon Sul?

[Goro Shimura]

What is the name of the doctor that betrayed Duke Leto?

[Leto]

nope, not Amon Sul. that's weathertop. And it was Dr Yueh that betrayed the Atreides...

[Eliot]

Amon Lhaw is the opposite peak. Tol Brandir is in the center, Amon Hen on the west, and Amon Lhaw on the east.

A Steward of Gondor died at the same time as the white tree in Minas Tirith did. Who was this Steward?

[Celebthôl]

Belecthor II

someone else ask plz

[Eliot]

Hmm... How many stewards of Gondor were there?

[Celebthôl]

oh come on u gotta know the answer aswell and that question is sooo not fair, u like have to go back and read all the appendixes (sp) grrr oh well i look and count then!

[Celebthôl]

nope cant be naffed to search it all right now im to tired, i'll let sumone else answer for a change

[gate7ole]

The stewards reached the number 27 (Faramir). I guess others followed him, so the answer is referring only to the Third Age.

By whom did the Corsairs of Umbar descend?

[Celebthôl]

the men who stayed in the east in the 1st age?

[gate7ole]

No, it is not right. Remember that at the 2nd age the Numenorians established the port at Umbar and in about 2600 it became their major fortress. You must give them also a time to rebel;)

[gate7ole]

Originally posted by gate7ole
By whom did the Corsairs of Umbar descend?
Nobody answered my question:(
Was it that hard?
They descented from Castamir, the Usurper who caused the kin-strife at Gondor.

OK, an easier question this time:
What happened to the last king of Gondor?

[Ithrynluin]

Eärnur,the last king of Gondor,was challenged by the Lord of the Nazgul. He rode to Minas Morgul and was never heard of again.

What was the outcome when Gondor&the Northmen fought against the Wainriders in TA 1856?

[Eliot]

Gondor lost its eastern territories, and Narmacil II fell in battle.

Who was the Gondorian king who eventually defeated the Wainriders on Dagorlad?

[Froggum]

Well, I have a 50/50 chance, I'm gonna have to say no. I'm probably wrong.

[Celebthôl]

well then the answer is...unknown, it never states anywhere that they either had them or didn't so u can have this question Froggum

[Húrin Thalion]

Of course they haven't got wings! How stupid wouldn't that look in Moria? Besides they were Maiar and thus they didn't need such "earthly" means of transportation. But come on Celeb think of something answerable.

Hurin Thalion

[Froggum]
