What are the names of the two gates in Mordor that guard the valley of Udun?

Are there two gates? I though that it was only Morannon. Or is it a double gate?

[Anamatar IV]

After the Siege of Barad-Dur after Sauron was overthrown among the elves who stood by the fallen Gil-galad?

EDIT: Same time posting gate7ole;) I thought eliot was tired of asking all the questions.

[Celebthôl]

errr i believe it was
Elrond
Isildur
Elendil
Cídan

thats it

[gate7ole]

A guess: Elrond?

[Anamatar IV]

celeb youre close. Of the ELVES whos stood by.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

OK, just Elrond and Cirdan then

[Anamatar IV]

correct. Elendil was dead when Sauron fell so he couldnt have been by gil-galad celeb. And Isildur was said to be the last man standing by Elendil.

[Eliot]

The two gates were Morannon and Isenmouthe.

[Éomond]

Ok, here's one: What was the name of Eomer's sword?

[Froggum]

Guthwine. I hope I spelled that right.

Ok, next question:gimme Gandalf's other four names.
As in, what the elves call him, what the dwarves call him, what he was called in his youth, and what he is called in the south.

[Mablung]

Incánus, Mithrandir, Olórin, Tharkûn

[Eliot]

What was the name of the old fortress just west of the Valley of Udun?

[Mablung]

Minas Morgul wasn't it?

[Eliot]

No, that's a bit more to the south. I'm not going to give this away. Somebody has to answer. :)

[Éomond]

I'm thinking Isenmouthe:confused: or Barad-dur

[Mablung]

Yeah I think Isenmouthe is right.

What is the ring Nenya made from and what is it's stone?

[Celebthôl]

its made of Mithrill and the stone is...im not sure i gotta look it up

[Nóm]

Mithril and adamant.

What had 'the scent of honey made of many flowers'?

[Ithrynluin]

I think the answer to Eliot's question might have been "Durthang."

To answer Nóm's question - is it Miruvor, the vial of Imladris?

I'll just wait for confirmation.

[Nóm]

ithrynluin, incorrect

(I will delete this post once someone answers correctly)

[Ithrynluin]

Okay got it ------> it's the drink that Gildor's company left to Frodo&co.

Where do the Mordor orcs get there food from (mostly)?

[Eliot]

Yes, ithrynluin got my question right. The answer is Durthang.

Oh, I think the answer about where the Orcs get there food is: near the Sea of Nurnen.

[Ithrynluin]

Yes the land around that inland sea was radically different from the plateau of Gorgoroth; the soil was fertile and many slaves laboured there.

Go ahead and post a new one.

[Eliot]

On the way to Bree, Sam, Frodo, and Pippin met Elves WHERE?

[Mablung]

Woody End I think.

Who was Elrond's advisor at the Council of Elrond?

[Eliot]

Erestor.

What Elves were at the council of Elrond?

[Anamatar IV]

is that a fair question? We are in Imladris. A haven for ELVES. We are in a council where the head is an ELF. There were many unmentioned elves at the council.

[Eliot]

Sorry, let me reword that. Name the Elves that are mentioned in the book that were at the council of Elrond.

[Mablung]

Glorfindel, Legolas, Elrond, Erestor, and Galdor.

What were the 3 mountains of Moria?

[Anamatar IV]

You forgot legolas;)

[Mablung]

Wow... that was a really dumb mistake sorry about that.

[Ithrynluin]

The 3 mountains of Moria are Caradhras, Celebdil and Fanuidhol.

What is another name for Barad-dur?

[Mablung]

Lugburz

Another name for Oliphaunts?

[Ithrynluin]

Elephants? j/k :p The answer is Mumakil.

What was the great wall of Minas Tirith called?

[Mablung]

Rammas Echor

[Anamatar IV]

the pelannor.

what was the horses name that Legolas rode in TTT?

[Mablung]

Arod

5 Other names for the Nazgul.

[Eliot]

Ringwraiths, Black Riders, um... The Nine? I don't really know.

[Ithrynluin]

Ringwraiths, the Black Riders, Ulairi, The Nine, the winged shadows.

Who is named "The Eagle of the Star" ?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Thorongil AKA Aragorn. He used that name when he fought with Gondor and Rohan in his youth.

What is the name of the leader of the men from the Ringló Dale?

[Mablung]

Dervorin (that one took me awhile.)

Name ALL of the Ring Bearers/ people who have worn the ring.

[Ithrynluin]

The One ring only? Sauron, Isildur, Deagol, Smeagol/Gollum, Bilbo, Frodo, Sam. I think I got them all.

From whom did the princes of Dol Amroth supposedly inherit elvish blood?

[Mablung]

Missed one I asked the question because I was gambling you guys would miss at least one. But since it isn't hard at this point that last was Tom Bombadil who wore the ring briefly in his house.

The answer to your Q is the lady Mithrellas.

Who are the Masters of the Hall?

[Manwë Súlimo]

The head of the house of Brandybuck.

What is Gaffer Gamgee's name in Westron?

[Mablung]

Stay at Home is my guess though I don't think it's right.

[Mablung]

Who were the 3 leaders of the men from Blackroot Vale?

[Manwë Súlimo]

No you were not right. So if I am not mistaken my question still stands.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Ok I think you may need some hints, it is two words, the first starts with an R and the second starts with a G. And yes the first word does MEAN "Stay-At-Home" but I want the actual name not the meaning.

[Niniel]

Ranugad or something (I'm not sure)? Well, I don't know the answer to Mablung's question so that still stands.

[gate7ole]

Finally!
Ranugad Galbasi.

Where do the dwarves write there own names (the dwarvish and not the Westron/Sindarin equivalents)?

[Eliot]

I'm stumped. What exactly do you mean by that question?

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

They dont. Dwarves dont even write their names on their own tombstones.

[Ol'gaffer]

is there a question now?
I don't see one that hasn't been answered.
So here's one:

What is the last home Peregrin Took lives in before his death?

[Niniel]

He went to Minas Tirith with Merry.

[Elendur]

How many times did Frodo put on the one ring?

[Lantarion]

Wow, good question! Let's see..
1. I think the first time was at Tom B's place
2. Then in Bree..
3. Then again on Amon Sûl, when F gets stabbed..
4. Then he leaves it alone for a long while, and only puts it on when he's atop Amon Hen.
5. After that he loses it, so he doesn't even have it until Sam gives it to him.. So I believe the last time is when he goes mad at last at the Sammath Naur.
Am I correct?

Welcome to the forums, Ol' Gaffer! ;)

[Glomund]

I can,t believe I read thru all these posts to find there is no question open:( I guess I will restart this. What was the name of the Ent that was burned in Isengard.

[Elendur]

"Several of the ents got scorched and blistered. One of them, Beechbone, I think he was called, a very tall and handsome ent, got caught in a spray of some liquid fire and burned like a torch : a horible sight."

What became of the lost seeing stones of Numenor the Palantir?

[Eliot]

That was a previous question, so I just had to find my previous answer.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Ok now that you answered post a question. Everyone seems to be forgeting that part. So please once you answer one ask another.

[Anamatar IV]

How many of Sauron's many names are mentioned in Lord of the Rings?

Oh I am an evil one arent I?;) But it's possible to find it in a matter of minutes...

[Manwë Súlimo]

ok lets see, there's Black One, Dark Lord, Dark Power, Lord of Barad-Dûr, Lord of the Rings, Nameless, Necromancer, and Sauron (of course). I think that is about it. There are other names for him but none that I can find in LotR.

since I don't know if that is all I will refrain from posting till I get conformation.

[Manwë Súlimo]

oh and The Enemy I forgot that one.

[Eliot]

Isn't "Lugburz" a name of Sauron? Or is that a name for Barad-Dur?

[Eliot]

Since I was supposed to post my question, I guess I'll go ahead.

Who provided the birds for Saruman?

[Éomond]

Radagast

I think:)

[Mablung]

Do you mean the person or the ally? Because the birds themselves came from Dunland.

[Anamatar IV]

Lugburz was the name for Barad-dur so, Eliot, yo are incorrect and Manwe has the question.

[Eliot]

Originally posted by Mablung

I mean a person. As Eomond said, it's Radagast.

[Éomond]

so do I ask a question or does Manwe?

[Manwë Súlimo]

What town in the Shire can only be reached by going down a single road from Longbottom?

[Eliot]

Sarn Ford?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Nope, the Sarn Ford is not even in the Shire.

[Eliot]

Oh, yeah. :D

[Eliot]

I think it's Pincup. Is that right?

[7doubles]

i think its Great Smiels..:o

[Manwë Súlimo]

Yes the answer is Pincup. So the question is to Eliot.

[Eliot]

What was the name of the son of Beregond?

[Mablung]

Bergil

[Eliot]

Yup, now it's your turn to post. :)

[Mablung]

Which Orc and his band we're going to support Ugluk against the Rohan men.

[Eliot]

I think it was Grishnakh. Is that right?

[Mablung]

Nope it was another Uruk Hai.

[Niniel]

Mauhúr?

What was the name of Gríma's father?

[Elendur]

Gálmód

[Elendur]

Name the following peoples weapons names:

Aragorn:
Gilgalid:
Elendil:
Theoden:
Gandalf:
Frodo:

[Eliot]

Galmod

What is the name of the land just east of Mordor?

[Éomond]

Oh ****, I'm at school and I don't have my map, but, I rhink its

Rhun or Khand

[Celebthôl]

Khand

[Eliot]

Aragorn: Anduril
Gil-Galad: Aeglos
Elendil: Narsil
Theoden: Herugrim
Gandalf: Glamdring
Frodo: Sting

[Eliot]

Yeah, it's Khand. Rhun is east of Mordor, but it's not directly east.

[Éomond]

But you said "just east" not directly. Rhun and Khand are both "just east" of Mordor. So my question right?

[Celebthôl]

yeah go nutz i aint gonna ask a question anyway, i never do!!!

Thôl

[Eliot]

Originally posted by Éomond

Fine, You have it right. :rolleyes:

[Éomond]

Yeay! Ok:

Who was the only other Rider of Éomer's company to speak to the Three Hunters?

[Anamatar IV]

aside from Eomer, Eothain.

How many people are refered to as 'the tall' in Lord of the rings, and who were they?

[Éomond]

Correct!

All I's can think of is Boromir. So there you go, a free one somebody:D

[Anamatar IV]

there are more than Boromir.;)

[EverEve]

Wasn't Turin...or Hurin...callled the 'Tall'?

[Anamatar IV]

hmm...Hurin yes...but I cant count it (since there was a not-tal Hurin in the sil;)) until you give me the rest of his name...and still there are more;)

[Glomund]

Elendil is another, and Galadriel is called man-high or tall but that is in unfinished tales. These are the only ones I can add without a page by page re-reading

[Glomund]

I finally picked up on your hint Anamator, Hurin the Tall, Warden of the keys. he was one of the lords of gondor, and while looking him up it says Eowyn "looked tall" as she talked to the head healer, page 292rotk, but that prob doesn't count.

[Anamatar IV]

What were the *SPECIFIC* (meaning names) races fighting against Gondor at the battle of the Pelannor?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Hmm lets see, there is Nazgûl, Haradrim, Easterlings, Orcs, Mûmakil, Variags of Khand, men out of Far Harad (what ever you would call them), Corsairs of Umbar, and uh... were the Olog-Hai there yet or were they only at the gate? That is all I can think of.

[Anamatar IV]

were there really Corsair of Umbar? The rest is correct but werent the corsair already defeated?

[Maeglin]

Well I think they had been defeated but there were definitely some left still. I remember they fight at the Battle of Pelennor fields, I think it was Theoden that killed their captain, and I also think that it was the corsairs that Faramir and his men ambushed at Osgiliath.

[Niniel]

If that was correct, I'll put up a new question:
Who was Targon?

[Great Khan]

Targon was a guard of the tower bit of Minas Tirith i think......

[Niniel]

Yeah, that's right! You may ask a new question....

[BlackCaptain]

Im sure this was asked before, but:
without lookin, how old was Aragorn when he dies...

[Ceorl]

420?
didn't look I promise

if so then, in what year did Frodo go into the West?

[Anamatar IV]

Not 420 I can tell you that;)

It is just about impossible to figure out without looking. No one has a photographic memory on this forum:eek:;)

[Celebthôl]

isnt it like 192 or sumthing, i also didnt look, i no he was 7o sumink at the beggining of the 4th age and he did 120 years into the fourth age ergo hes 190 summink so i guess 192!

[BlackCaptain]

190! good guess though...

Allright... mmmm... :
1. What weapon did Fingolfin use against Melkor in their duel?
2. What weapon did Melkor use?
3. What part of Melkor was cut off?
4. And how many wounds (besides the lost limb) did Melkor come away with?

[Anamatar IV]

All of these questions are in the sil-this is lotr trivia.

And also the answer is absolutely not 190-Aragorn was born on 2931 of the 3rd age and died 120 of the 4th.

We take the 3021 years of the 3rd age and subtract the 2931 years without aragorn and add the 120 years he lived in the 4th age:

210:)

Which Elf asked Bilbo for an encore in Rivendell and what was he asked to do an encore of?

[Celebthôl]

1) he used his sword Ringil
2) he used Grond the hammer/mace weapon
3) nothing, though he does get hewed in the foot (it never says his foot fell off)
4) and 7 other times!
:p

um his song and Glofindell :p both wrong i think but i cant member properly and i cant be bothered to go through the books right now!

[BlackCaptain]

In response to Anamatar:

In the Appendixes of LOTR, Appendix A, III, very last sentance:

Aragorn indeed lived to be one hundred and ninety years old, longer than any of his line since King Arvegil; but in Aragorn Ellessar the dignity of the kings of old was renewed

Although im sure ur calculation is well thought out, it is incorrect.
And sorry about the Silmarillion trivia, it just seemed good at time

[Anamatar IV]

*is confused* that does not add up to 190 *runs through calculations again*

Yes there is no way he was 190. Yet there it is in plain text that he was. Could someone shed some light on this?

[BlackCaptain]

And for anyone that thinks otherwise, I am talking about the right Aragorn. There were 2 Aragorns, and this is the second, and right one...

[Eliot]

The Elfs name was Lindir.

What were the three Human-Elven marriages in Middle-Earth history?

[Celebthôl]

Beren to Luthien,
Aragorn to Arwen and
Húrin to Morwen or Tuor to Idril.

i think

[Eliot]

Yup, that's right. You get next question. :)

[Celebthôl]

well someone else can have it i cant think of one!

[Anamatar IV]

What level of Minas Tirith did Pippin find Beregond's son and what was Beregond's son's name?

[Eliot]

Pippin found Bergil on the lowest (or first) level of the city.

Who was the father of Imrahil of Dol Amroth?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Imrahil's father is Adrahil.

Who is Gilraen's grandfather?

[BlackCaptain]

Arador? that might be arathorns grandfather though...

[Manwë Súlimo]

No, Arador is Arathorn's FATHER, Arathorn's grandfather is Argonui. But anywho... continue with the guessing

[BlackCaptain]

Ive thought and thought, and even searched... I can find it no were. At the encyclopedia of Arda website, it doesnt even have Gilraens father, Dirhael listed, and I for one, am clueless as to the answer

[Manwë Súlimo]

I'll give you some hints. One, it is on her mothers side, and two, it starts with a G

[BlackCaptain]

Githraen?

[BlackCaptain]

Githrahel?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Uh, no. You are not even close.

[lossenandunewen]

you people lol i have enough trouble keeping track of my own family, let alone entire family tree's of fictional characters!

wow. but it does give me an odd respect for you guys :)

[BlackCaptain]

I have no idea... what book is it from?

[Niniel]

Are you sure it's in LOTR?

[BlackCaptain]

I myself am almost 100% sure its not...

[Glomund]

Her father is Dirhael, and he was descended from Aranarth, the elder son of Arvedui (the last king of the northern line), but I cannot find anywhere her grandfather.

[BlackCaptain]

thats all i found in the appendixes...

Idunno, uve got us Manwe...

[Manwë Súlimo]

Ok the answer is Gilbarad. I'll give you an easier one:

What type of wood were the staffs of Frodo and Sam made of when they started up the Morgul Pass?

[Anamatar IV]

Manwe, could you tell me *where* in Lord of the Rings you found that because I ran a search on Gilbarad and it didn't turn up in any of the three books.

[Glomund]

they were made of lebethron.


What was the name of the orc leader waiting in Fangorn to aid Ugluk?

[Mablung]

Mahur (I asked that one awhile back :D )

[Glomund]

I figured I would get a Grishnak or 2.

This might be harder, While gollum was with them, how many times did Frodo and Sam both accidentally sleep at the same time?

[Manwë Súlimo]

I'll say three times.

[Glomund]

I will give it to you, I was not sure if I should count when they fell asleep at Henneth Annun as a 4th, Gollum had not left them, he just wasn't there.

[BlackCaptain]

I think this was asked before... but:
Give all of the names that the "citadel" of the Nazgul have had

[BlackCaptain]

By that i mean list the names of it.

[FoolOfATook]

Minas Morgul (The Tower Of The Wraiths, Tower Of Sorcery, Dead City)
Minas Ithil (The Tower Of The Moon)

[BlackCaptain]

good, :

How many children did Samwise have? Name four.

And one more thing... All in favor of making this a sticky say "I"

I

[Manwë Súlimo]

He had 13. Elanor, Frodo, Rose, Merry

What is the name of the Hall of Feasts?

[BlackCaptain]

? Im thinkin BrandyHall? I know thats rong though... mmmm.... Is it in Rivendell? I know thats not an answer, but hey, u ask good, or rather challenging, questions...

[Manwë Súlimo]

Nay to both guesses. It is southwest of both Brandyhall and Rivendell.

[BlackCaptain]

Since this isnt goin anywere, ill ask a new question:

What is the Mordor lanquage name for "Ring"

[Anamatar IV]

Nazg

How many times is the rings ACTUALLY WORN in LotR?

[Maeglin]

Oh wow this is hard, so I'm gonna put them up here and tell me if I miss one, but here goes:

1. Bilbo puts it on at his party.
2. Frodo puts it on in Bombadil's house.
3. Frodo has his "accident" at The Prancing Pony.
4. Weathertop
5. Frodo puts it on to escape Boromir at Amon Hen and cross the Anduin until Sam jumps in the water like a fool.
6. Sam puts it on just outside of Mordor.
7. Frodo puts it on in the cracks of Doom.

I don't remember if Gollum actually put it on before falling in or not. But hey Anamatar thats another thing to add in your thread "The Significance of 7" in The Hall of Fire (if I got it right that is).

[Anamatar IV]

youre missing a few more.:)

[Goldberry]

I think Sam puts it on twice outside of Mordor, once to escape the Orcs seeing him at the end of TTT, and then once again at the beginning of RotK (though it never says when he took it off).

Tom Bombadil puts it on (and does not disappear).

Isildur puts it on when his party is attacked by Orcs, on his way north from Gondor.

Pippin mentions seeing Bilbo put it on once to escape been seen by the Sackville-Bagginses.

Then, when describing Gollum's life when he was Smeagol, it mentions him using it many times to be invisible.

[Anamatar IV]

correct! Your question, Goldberry.:)

[FoolOfATook]

Incredibly minor point, but it's actually Merry who sees Bilbo put the Ring on to avoid the S.B.s.

[LotR_Girl]

and next question? lol Mmmmm....
This should have something to do with LotR, right? Okay, here we go...
Who sings song 'Lord of the Rings'? (listening to it now... it's yummy! It sounds great when you listen only to that and Aerosmith's 'Jaded')

Someone will kill me here...

[Mablung]

Which one? I know Blind Guardian had a song called Lord of the Rings all about the books is that the one your thinking of or do you have a different one?

And assuming thats correct who was the first Gamgee?


(If I didnt get it right ignore my Q but if I did answer it!)

[FoolOfATook]

Hamfast Gamgee?

[Manwë Súlimo]

The first one could be Hamfast of Gamwich, but the name didn't become Gamgee until Hobson Gamgee, who got it from Hob Gammidge who's nickname was Old Gammidgy.

[Mablung]

Yes but he changed his first name as well when he changed his last name to Gamgee too what did he change it too?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Roper gamgee he changed his name to Roper.

[Mablung]

Yep your Q.

[Manwë Súlimo]

On what days did the fellowship attempt the Redhorn Pass?

[Eliot]

January 11th & 12th

What were the names of all of Bilbo's Aunts on the Baggins side?

[Glomund]

I get Belba and Linda with Longo and Bingo as uncles.


What ages were the 4 hobbits during the journey?

[Eliot]

Frodo - 51
Sam - 36
Merry - 37
Pippin - 29

What was the name of the grand-son of Bard?

[Maeglin]

Brand son of Bain son of Bard.

I can't think of anything good to ask right now, someone else go.

[Manwë Súlimo]

What mound was raised at the fords of the river Poros and who was burried there?

[Mablung]

Haudh in Gwanur was the mound and the twin sons of Folcwine, Folcred and Fastred, were buried there. Ill post a new Q in a moment.

[Mablung]

Alright who watched the West Gate of Bree then later allied with Ferny and Saruman's people?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Harry.

Since it wasn't answered before I'll ask it again. What is the name of the Hall Of Feasts? Hint, it is in a city of Gondor.

[Mablung]

What was Harry's last name first? It is mentioned and therefore is part of the full question.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Harry Goatleaf

[Mablung]

Its Merethrond.

Who was the first Thain of the Shire?

[FoolOfATook]

Bucca of the Marish.

What's unusual about Glorfindel's riding of Asfaloth?

[Goldberry]

Asfaloth obeys Glorfindels command to ride fast, even though Frodo is seated on his back. Is it that Asfaloth understands Elvish?

Or is it that hundreds of years earlier, when Glorfindel challenged the Witch King of Angmar (as stated in the appendices), he is riding a white horse who is not afraid of the Witch King? Could this be the same white horse? Do you think he is as immortal as the elves?

[FoolOfATook]

No, it's about the way that Glorfindel rides Asfaloth.

[Mablung]

Wasn't it bareback? Im not sure if thats what you'd call odd for an elf or not but I do recall it.

[FoolOfATook]

No, but you're close.

[greypilgrim]

The way he rode it.

"You shall ride my horse. I will shorten the stirrups up to the saddle-skirts, and you must sit as tight as you can. But you need not fear: my horse will not let any rider fall that I command him to bear...."
Glorfindel to Frodo as he was hasting out of the Trollshaws.

[greypilgrim]

What kind of weed did Merry reject in the House of Healing, then smoke with Pippin a minute later?

[FoolOfATook]

That's it- Glorfindel is riding with a saddle, a rarity among Elves.

[Goldberry]

Originally posted by greypilgrim

Longbottom Leaf it is!

Who does Gandalf take with him to the Undying Lands? And it is not any hobbits or elves I mean.

[Eliot]

What do you mean by that? The only creatures he brought WERE Hobbits and Elves. Bilbo, Frodo, Elrond and Galadriel.

[Glomund]

Shadowfax.


After Theoden was laid to rest, how many mounds were before the gates to Edoras?

[greypilgrim]

15.
What did Sauron name Shelob?

[Eliot]

I'm sorry, Goldberry. I was thinking of another person, not an animal. :D

[Eliot]

Originally posted by greypilgrim

I think it was either "The Great", or "Her Ladyship". Are any of those right?

[greypilgrim]

wrong!

[Manwë Súlimo]

He called her his cat.

What are the meanings of the names of the Towers of the Teeth?

[Eliot]

Well, I think the names were Narchost & Charcost (something like that). I get the meanings mixed up though.

[Glomund]

Carchost is fang fort
Narchost is fire fort, the best I can figure.

I will wait for confirmation before I post a question

[Niniel]

Wasn't it Fire Tooth?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Yup they are Fang Fort and Fire-Tooth. Since both Niniel and Glomund both got half I will leave it up to you two to decide who asks next

[Glomund]

What was the name of Thror's companion when he attempted to re-enter Moria.

( I guess I will ask as I came back first)

[greypilgrim]

Nar was his name. (They cut Thror's head off, dirty rotten scoundrels!)


What was the Ring's "magic" that Thror gave to Thrain 2nd, his son? What did it do?

[greypilgrim]

alright you guys, i got a wrong answer a little bit back (there were 17 mounds i think) , thus must forfeit this latest question. so if anyone wants, ask another.

[Glomund]

I guess I should check the answers to my questions to make sure they are answered right:o .
The ring enabled the holder to aquire wealth, but it needs gold to breed gold.


how many orcs were still alive in the tower of Cirith Ungol when Sam entered? And for bonus points, what were there names?

[greypilgrim]

2, I think.
Was it shagrat? Don't know other one

[Glomund]

Shagrat is one of them, but two is incorrect

[Anamatar IV]

The other didn't have a right name but he was called Snaga (slave in the black speech).

How many Nazgul were there at the battle of the pelannor fields?

[lossenandunewen]

hmm.. the wizard king, plus i think 2 more? somewhere.. i should really look in the book before i try to answer these things

[greypilgrim]

it fun racking your brain, no? :D
there was the witch king, and one other one i think, came to the fight after he's killed.
Two, right?

dont know if asked b4, but: How many sons did Elendil have?

[BlackCaptain]

this isnt trivia or anything, but greypilgrim... ive noticed your picture is of gandalf the WHITE. lol. im just observing...

[greypilgrim]

"I liked white better" :D

[Glomund]

Snaga was one, and I thought it meant slave, but there were more.
and I think all the Nazgul were flying around during parts of the battle.
Elendil had 2 sons Isuldur and Anarion.
I repeat my question, how many orcs were alive in cirith ungol when Sam entered. And the names if you want
we have
Shagrat
Snaga(a label not really a name)

[Anamatar IV]

The witch king and Khamul were there, yes, but is that all?

EDIT:

Sorry, Glomun you ARE correct in my question. The other Orc was Gorbag but I misunderstood your question because gorbag was killed in the tower...though he was alive when Sam entered the tower.

My question:

Which realm did Elendil found?

[Glomund]

Elendil founded Arnor,
There is still 1 more Orc in the tower, I will give one more chance at his name.

[Niniel]

Gorbag?

[Anamatar IV]

I said Gorbag;)

Might it be the one who was whipping Frodo? I do not remember if that was Snaga or not...nor if it was even given a name.

[Glomund]

The last one is Radbug. Sam hears his screech as Shagrat is throttling him, and thinks it might be Frodo, but never sees him

[Beleg]

So any other question? Radbug? who is he? I dont think i have ever read that name?

[BlackCaptain]

He was an orc from the tower of Cirith Ungol. Him and Shagrat were having conflicts er somthin and Shagrat.... hurt him....

[Glomund]

I can ask another hard one (I think)
how many swords were named in the books

[Anamatar IV]

To answer this I must ask two questions:

do spears count?

And are Narsil and Anduril counted as 1?

[Glomund]

I guess spears can count, and Narsil and Anduril were just 1, but since you have them both already, make em seperate.

[Anamatar IV]

Sting
Glamdring
Anduril
Narsil
Aeglos
Guthwine
Then there was theoden's sword

so 7?

[Glomund]

You are missing 1,
and the name of Theodens sword was Herugrim, if you wanted to know.

[Anamatar IV]

well hmm ho let us see here.

Barrow blade? no because that is not a name...I do believe Orcrist was named somewhere in Fellowship of the Ring.

[Glomund]

Orcrist is the answer, it is mentioned when in the description of Gandalf as the fellowship leaves Rivendell

[BlackCaptain]

I was gonna say that too...

But you, Glomund, are misisng one from the list. It mentions in the Fellowship the Barrow Blades, as Anamantar said. They don't have specific names, but theyre mentioned...

[greypilgrim]

who did they chase from the gate when the 4 hobbits came home?

[BlackCaptain]

Hob Hayward...

if not him maybey Ted Sandyman, but im goin with Hob...

[lossenandunewen]

didn't they chase away bill ferny?

[Glomund]

I guess I should have been more specific, I wanted their names, because we could add Borimirs sword, Denethors etc.. they are mentioned but not named.

Lossen did not ask a question so I will again

How many of the Nazgul's horses were found after the ford of Bruenin rose up and swept them away?

[greypilgrim]

didn't the elves find 4 horses, and a black cloak or something?
4 or 5 horses (is that legal?)

[Beleg]

I think the answer is 4. It is mentioned In Ut somewhere, but its getting out of my mind right now.

[BlackCaptain]

Im pretty sure they found all 9 horses

[Glomund]

They found three horses in the ford, 5 washed onto the rocks downstream and a torn cloak.

I will ask a easier one

What "color" of wizard does Saruman say he (Saruman) is to Gandalf before trapping him in Orthanc?

[Celebthôl]

Saruman of many colours

[Anamatar IV]

In what book is Denethor first mentioned?

[Celebthôl]

The Sil, but its the the Denethor we know and hate who abodes in Minas Tirith in Gondor, its another one :p

[Anamatar IV]

well we are talking about LOTR trivia...and the lord of the rings was published first;)

[Eliot]

I think it's FOTR, Book II (2). I think the chapter is II Council of Elrond.

[Anamatar IV]

Book 2 is correct! I was trying to see how much of Lord of the Rings you REALLY new...and if you new as much as you should (;)) you'd know LotR is *6* books in all.

[greypilgrim]

what is "January" in the shire calendar?

[Eliot]

I'll go ahead and do the next question, but did you know that JRRT really wanted one big book broken up in 6 smaller books? He didn't really want three books in one (FOTR,TTT,ROTK).

OK, who was the fifth King of Rohan?

[Eliot]

It's Afteryule. Um, I got the previous question right, so I get to ask next.

[greypilgrim]

so why didn't you ask one just now then?

[Eliot]

You obviously weren't paying any attention.

Who was the fifth King of Rohan (I posted this a few posts earlier, nobody answered)?

[Mablung]

Fréawine


What was the North Gate of Buckland called?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Hay gate?

[Mablung]

Correct

[Celebthôl]

well we are talking about LOTR trivia...and the lord of the rings was published first;)
Posted by Anamatar

Well the Sil was written before LOTR but it was published after!

[Manwë Súlimo]

After the battle of Pelennor Fields what level of Minas Tirith did Pippin find Merry?
