LOTR Trivia (Part 1)

[Eliot]

Hmm...... I think it's either the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh. :D :D :D

I think it's the seventh (seriously).

[Flame of Udûn]

He was found in the Third Circle.

What is "Strider" in the high tongue?

[Mablung]

Telcontar

Who was Frodo's paternal grandmother?

[Flame of Udûn]

Ruby Bolger.

[Mablung]

Right

[Goldberry]

Who said the Shire was an uncouth name?

[BlackCaptain]

Saruman?

[Eriol]

Radagast

What are the dates of Frodo's three wounds?

[Beleg]

March 13, Octuber 6, 13 January

[Goldberry]

October 6, March 13 and March 25.

[Goldberry]

Where did Boromir say he lost his horse, when he traveled from Minas Tirith to Rivendell?

[BlackCaptain]

Ive thought and thought, and even looked, and no-were can i even find the answer, but Boromir seems to like the Idea of the Gap of Rohan all the time, so im gonna say... he lost his horse at... somewere in Dunland?

[Glomund]

He lost the horse crossing the river Gwathlo at the ford of tharbad

[Glomund]

Forgot to ask a Q

What inns are mentioned by name in the books?

[Eliot]

The Prancing Pony, The Green Dragon, and The Golden Perch. I think that's all.

[Flame of Udûn]

The Green Dragon, The Prancing Pony, The Golden Perch, and the Old Guesthouse.

[Glomund]

I missed the old guesthouse, where is it? I still have two more not mentioned.

[Flame of Udûn]

It is in Minas Tirith, where Pippin meets Bergil. It doesn't seem like much of a name, but I put it in becasue it is capitalised.
I can't find any more, what are they?

[Goldberry]

The Bridge Inn, and The Floating Log, both mentioned in "The Scouring of the Shire".

I won't ask another question since I didn't get the bulk of the inns.

[Eliot]

Who's going to do the question now?

[Glomund]

The Ivy Bush is also mentioned, it is the inn where the Gaffer is talking about Frodos parents in the first part of the book.
I thought the Bridge inn was not its actual name so I missed that when I asked the Q.

Here is the list
Prancing Pony
Ivy Bush
Green Dragon
Floating Log
Golden Perch
Bridge Inn
and Old Guest House, tho I still can't find this one.:confused:

Where Pippin and Beregond got their food is not a inn, but the storehouse for the guard, so I did not count it.


Since no one else has asked I will go again,

How many different blades does Frodo carry in the books?
And I will give you the one in the Barrow

[Niniel]

The Old Guesthouse is where Pippin meets Bergil (I don't know if Bergil actually lives there, I think so, at least during the war).
As for Frodo's swords, I think three: Sting, the Orc sword, and the sword that Sam first used, although he gives it back to Sam right away.

[Flame of Udûn]

The sword from the Barrow-wights, Sting, the orcish sword and Sam's sword for a few seconds.

[Glomund]

Flame of Udun has it so he gets to ask

[Flame of Udûn]

How was Anárion killed?

[BlackCaptain]

Would you accept in Mordor by Barad-dur?, like, in front of it?

[Lasgalen]

Anarion was killed by a catapulted stone from Barad Dur.

-Lasgalen

[lossenandunewen]

what a way to die

[Flame of Udûn]

lasgalen has the correct answer. Your turn to ask.

[Lasgalen]

The first gate of Gondolin is the Gate of Wood. What are the other six?

-Lasgalen

[Anamatar IV]

This can only be found in Unfinished Tales (of the coming of Tuor to Gondolin).

New question?

[Lasgalen]

Oops. sorry. :o

What are Stoors?

-Lasgalen

[Manwë Súlimo]

A type of hobbit as far as I know. I don't know if you meant something else so I will refrain from posting a Q till I get conformation.

[Lasgalen]

That is basically what I was looking for. Please ask a question.

-Lasgalen

[Manwë Súlimo]

Who prophesized the comming of Aragorn, and when did he live?

[Eriol]

Malbeth the Seer, and he lived at the time of Arvedui (20th century T.A.)? I'm not sure about this, I know this is the guy who prophesied the end of the Witch-King, but I think he said something about Aragorn too...

I'll wait for confirmation.

[Beleg]

Was it the old man that stood at the end of the Path of Dead in Dunharrow, When Baldor ventured there?

[greypilgrim]

Wasn't it who made the Sceptre? Can't remember who or when! Will wait and see.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Eriol got it. It was Malbeth the Seer and he lived a little prior to Arvedui's time.

[Eriol]

Ok, so... name the victorious battles of Eärnur.

[Beleg]

The battle of Fornost. Battles?

[Finrod]

i hope this is ok:

what is the only unmarried Valar?

[BlackCaptain]

Melkor. And i think there are 2 more. Ulmo and Niena, but im not sure. But im POSITIVe Melkor didnt Wed


Q: Name all of the weapons, magic, and beasts the Nazgul use

[BlackCaptain]

anyone?

[Eliot]

I'll just go ahead and guess.

Weapons: Morgul-blades
Magic: I don't know.
Beasts: Horses, flying beasts (I don't know the name)

[BlackCaptain]

hehe, nope. The flying beasts dont have a name just for everyones info

[Ecthelion]

Originally posted by Eliot

I'll assume magic is the only thing wrong with the first guess so.........
Magic: They can see people who turn invisible with ring, I think that counts as magic

[BlackCaptain]

nope

[Ithrynluin]

Weapons: Morgul blades, the mace of the Witch-king
Magic: The Black Breath
Beasts: Black horses, Winged steeds

[BlackCaptain]

close... u need 2 more in each category, save the beasts

[BlackCaptain]

Does no one have a guess?

[Ecthelion]

I have no ideas at all

[Anamatar IV]

hmm....didn't one of the Nazgul at the Pelannor battle use a dart as the easterlings used?

[BlackCaptain]

yes, but thats not one of the answers

[Goldberry]

Originally posted by ithrynluin
Weapons: Morgul blades, the mace of the Witch-king
Magic: The Black Breath
Beasts: Black horses, Winged steeds

Weapons: Didn't the Black riders also have long swords?

Magic: They can control your will. At the Ford of Bruinin, they made Frodo unable to speak any longer. And whenever they are around, they make Frodo want to put on the ring. One made Merry follow him, when he was walking through the streets of Bree.

They also have a keen sense of smell. Does that count as magic? Or how about that they can sense the one ring?

[BlackCaptain]

You got 1 more of the weapons, and you need one more. Merry gets the Black Breath used on him, and that is one of thier magic. The spell you told when Frodo was at the Ford was the Beckoning spell. Thats another one.

If anyone puts together all the replies that people have listed already, youll only need one more weapon, and one more magic. Ithrynluin was closest yet. you should go from there down. Ill give u a hint: Only the witch-king uses these last two. And ultra-keen smell isnt magic, sorry.

so so far u guys have:
Weapons - Morgul blades, mace of the Witch-King, long swords, ?
Magic - Black breath, Beckoning spells, ?
Beasts - Black Horses, Winged steeds

fill in the question marks

[Goldberry]

Anamatar IV said the 4th weapon earlier. The witch king used a black dart to kill Snowmane.

So we have:
Weapons - Morgul blades, mace of the Witch-King, long swords, black dart

[Goldberry]

For magic, would you count a "blasting spell"? In The Siege of Gondor, it says:

"Then the Black Captain rose in his stirrups and cried aloud in a dreadful voice, speaking in some forgotten tongue words of power and terror to rend both heart and stone.
Thrice he cried. Thrice the great ram boomed. And suddenly upon the last stroke the Gate of Gondor broke. As if stricken by some blasting spell it burst asunder..."

[BlackCaptain]

well that dart isnt one of my weapons listed... but sure ittl count... but theres still one more weapon

As if stricken by some blasting spell it burst asunder..."

It says "AS IF", so its not literal. Grond broke the gates, not a spell. you need one more spell, and one more weapon still

[Goldberry]

Then I think we need a hint!

[Aulë]

One magic would be their ability to cast fear down on people.

Weapons - Morgul Blades, Mace of the Witch-King, Long Swords, ?
Magic - Black breath, Beckoning spells, Fear Aura
Beasts - Black Horses, Winged steeds

I can't think of the 4th weapon though....

[Idril]

Swords of Flame????

:confused:

[BlackCaptain]

yup. Heres a hint:

Theres 5 weapons, 3 magic abilaties, and two beasts. They were all named at least once so far, except for one magic abilitie. It can be found in the Appenices of ROTK. That was a HUGE hint so I dont expect it shooud take u guys much longer. the first person to respond with ALL of the answers may post the next question

[Goldberry]

Weapons - Morgul Blades, Mace of the Witch-King, Long Swords, Swords of Flame, Black darts
Magic - Black breath, Beckoning spells, Fear Aura, Make Frost or Thaw at will
Beasts - Black Horses, Winged steeds


??

[BlackCaptain]

Congradulations Goldberry, you may post the next question, although Fear Aura isnt an abilaty they have... But good job none-the-less

[Goldberry]

** She faints from the last effort **

Who was entombed in the barrow where Frodo was imprisoned by the Barrow Wight?

[BlackCaptain]

? I dont think the book said anyone was, but im gonna say a dead man from Carn Dum

[Goldberry]

They don't give a name, but they give a title.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Some king or lord of Arthedain

[Goldberry]

Getting warmer but not there yet.

[Aulë]

The Last Prince of Cardolan

[Goldberry]

You got it. Your turn Pippin_Took!

[Aulë]

OK,
What is the name of the great fence that ran between Buckland and the Old Forest?

[Ecthelion]

I beileve that it's the Hay Gate.

[Quercus]

The Hedge.

[Aulë]

You almost got it Ecthelion
Keep on guessing:)

[Ecthelion]

Ok, now I'm almost positive that it's the High Hay. Is that right?

[Aulë]

Yep- that's the one
You're up!:)

[Beleg]

So Ecthelion ask the next one...

[Ecthelion]

Alrighty.

Q: What Gate of Gondolin was Ecthelion the Warden of?

[Goldberry]

Ecthelion, that's a great question but this is only LoTR trivia. Gondolin is from The Silmarillion.

[Ecthelion]

Oh yeah, oops. Uuuummmmm..................... Ok I got one

Q: What are the 4 nicknames/titles of the Wizard Radagast?

[FoolOfATook]

The Brown
The Bird-tamer
The Simple
The Fool

I'm hoping that you mean the nicknames that Saruman gave him. ;)

[Ecthelion]

Yes that is correct, go ahead.

[FoolOfATook]

Why do I answer questions when I know that I don't like finding ones of my one? ;)

Okay, which member of the Fellowship is Elrond initially opposed to his taking part?

[Ecthelion]

Is that not Pippin Took? I think it was because he was the youngest of all the company.

[FoolOfATook]

(Note to self- refrain from questions involving characters in your username) ;)

Yeah, it's Pippin. Your turn.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Who was the slayer of Azog, and who was his father?

[Mablung]

Dáin II Ironfoot the slayer and he was son of Dáin I Ironfoot.

[Aulë]

I'm pretty sure that Nain was Dain II Ironfoot's father....

[Ecthelion]

HEY STOP STEALING MY TURN!:mad: just kidding;)

Q: What do orcs see when Samwise puts on the ring?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Wasn't it some sore of tall elf prince.

[Aulë]

No, they see that when his ring is off, but is elvish cloak is on.

Was it the glow of his sword?

[Idril]

I didn't think the Orcs saw Sam (or Sting) with the ring on. They guessed he was a tall elf warrior in the tunnel. And then on the stairs Snaga (I think) anyway an Orc saw Sam as 'a giant shape, cloaked in a grey cloak' etc, but at that point Sam did not have the ring on.
:cool:

[Ecthelion]

I wrote the Q wrong, but the answer was Originally posted by Manwë Súlimo
Wasn't it some sore of tall elf prince.

I forgot he was standing there holding the ring, I thought he had it on. Anywho, go Manwe

[Manwë Súlimo]

How many children did Imrahil have and who were they?

[Aulë]

Name all the varieties of pipeweed mentioned in the books...

[Aulë]

Hmmm

Longbottom Leaf
Old Toby
Southern Star

I think thats it
Are there any more?

[Eriol]

yes, you are leaving one out

[Aulë]

Westmansweed?

[Eriol]

Now that one I've never heard about :)

So you're still missing one

[Aulë]

Hmmm, I think that may have been another name for pipeweed, not a variety....

OK then, how about Southlinch?

[Idril]

How about these?

Longbottom leaf
Galenas
Southlinch
Southern Star
Hornblower
Southfarthing leaf
Old Toby
Brandywine Black

[Eriol]

Quite comprehensive, you're up :)

(We are using different definitions of 'variety', Galenas is just a name in another tongue, and Southfarthing leaf is a group of varieties -- the missing one I had in mind was Southlinch)

[Idril]

I LotRs, Gandalf is carried 3 times by Gwaihir. What are the destinations in chronological order?:cool:

[Aulë]

OK,

Who married Sam's daughter, Elanor?

[Aulë]

Oi!
I got the answer first;)

[Idril]

sorry!!

[Idril]

Fastred of Greenholm

[Celebthôl]

Idril you first: - from orthanc i he went to edoras (Rohan), - from zirak zigil he went to Lothlorien, and from Mordor he went to Minas Tirith (i think)

Pippin you now, it was Faramir son of none other than Peregrin Took....

hehe am i right for all of that?

[Celebthôl]

yes Idril you are correct

[Aulë]

I think Faramir Took married Diamond of Long Cleave.

But I think Idril asks the next question
(this is getting confusing):)

[Idril]

Thanks Celebthôl, I was quite crushed just now anyway

Re: Gwaihir question

First 2 are correct Edoras and Caras Galadon (Lothlorian).

[Aulë]

The 3rd was from the Slag Mounds to Mount Doom?
Was in not?

[Idril]

Who was the Marshall of the West Mark of Rohan after the War of the Ring?

[Idril]

Eomer (Son of Eomund, Third Marshall of the Mark of Rohan)?

[Aulë]

[Eriol]

As long as we are all guessing I'd say Elfhelm...

[Ithrynluin]

Yes it's Erkenbrand. Post a new question Pip.:)

[Aulë]

What were the names of all the dwarves mentioned in Balin's quest to retake Moria.?

What are the meanings of the twin defences 'Carchost' and 'Narchost'?

[Aulë]

Towers of the Teeth

[Lantarion]

Um, well I don't have the Silmarillion with me and I can't remember what -chost means, if anything. But car- means 'red' and nar- means 'fire'..

[Idril]

Pippin has part of it - Fang Fort
and Lantarion has part of the second meaning - fire ?

[Eliot]

I think it's Fang Fort, and Fire Tooth, right?

[Idril]

you're up Eliot:D

[Eliot]

Booyah!

What were the borders of Cardolan?

[Eriol]

I think they are the Greyflood, the East-West Road and the Brandywine (or perhaps the Barrow-downs...)

[Eliot]

Yep, you got it right. All of those except the Barrow Downs are right. :D

[Eriol]

Who are the Elves mentioned by name in the book (excluding the Appendices)?

[Goldberry]

This is going to be a long list! I'll start

Elrond
Gildor Inglorion
Glorfindel
Erestor
Arwen
Elladan
Elrohir
Galadriel
Celeborn
Haldir
Rumil
Legolas
Thranduil

[Eriol]

You're missing at least two... that I recall at a glance, there may be more.

Edit: I remembered another one, three missing at least.

[gate7ole]

Lindir
Beren
Luthien
Thingol
Gil-Galad

Half-elves also?
Earendil
Elwing

[Eriol]

Isn't it amazing? gate7ole posted 6 more names, and NONE is one of my three.

Oh, he added Gil-Galad, so only two missing (at a glance!!)

[Goldberry]

Elrond
Gildor Inglorion
Glorfindel
Erestor
Arwen
Elladan
Elrohir
Galadriel
Celeborn
Haldir
Rumil
Legolas
Thranduil

Earendil *
Lindir

[Eriol]

I am satisfied :) , if nobody has any objections it is Goldberry's turn -- even though Elros was a man...

[Goldberry]

Who is the first man of Gondor that Pippin speaks to on his first visit to Gondor?

[Eliot]

I think it was Denethor II, right? If not, then I have no idea.

[Anamatar IV]

It was the guard when Pippin said he was neither a Dwarf nor a valiant Man.

How many "men like Boromir" did Pippin see?

note the quotations. In the books it needs to include Boromir in the description to count.

[Goldberry]

[Goldberry]

Anamatar IV, it's your turn to post a question.

[Anamatar IV]

look at my post before I said INgold....my question has been up for some time.:)

[BlackCaptain]

Many? I think thats the only description it gives...:confused:

[Anamatar IV]

mmmmm....I am looking for a bit more specific than many;)

[Flame of Udûn]

Too hard a question.

[BlackCaptain]

Seven?

[Ecthelion]

28?

[Anamatar IV]

well um no.......hehehe far higher than the actual number. Take one more stab and I'll give you the answer.

[Ecthelion]

15

[Anamatar IV]

incorrect. There were 2. Boromir himself (obviously) and Faramir. He saw many men of Gondor but those were the only two that HE saw that were described as looking like Boromir (or being boromir himself.)

Since MorgulKing was closest he gets the next question.

[AirforceBrat]

ok i don't know the answer to the question but i do know that it is really rediculous that you people take time to argue about whether ont thread is better than another, i mean seriously does it really matter that much if there is more than one place to talk about the same thing. another question (that actually has nothing to do with the game) how many of you look up the answers to these questions, and be honest!

[olorin the maia]

I rely on my memories of The Hobbit, LOTR, Sil, and UT.
If I don't know the answer outright, then of course I look it up. But that's part of the fun, figuring out where a particular piece of trivia came from. :)
If that doesn't appeal to you, there are many other threads and forums on this website. Go explore! I, like you, am new to this, and have barely scratched the surface.

[Lantarion]

AirforceBrat, welcome to the forum.
This thread, as you may have noticed, deals solely with trivia on the book The Lord of the Rings. There is a thread in the Hall of Fire called "Quiz/Trivia", which deals largely with trivia from the Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and the Histories of Middle-earth. And although you obviously have the right to mouthe your opinion, I think it's up to the 'arguers' whether or not they should argue about similar threads. :)
And the actual point of these trivia pages are to both enhance the readers' knowledge of the innumerable details that Tolkien presented to us in his works, and also to enhance the readers' skill in finding certain passages or sections in the books in order to find answers to the questions asked. So, apparently contrary to what you think, it is not against any 'rules' to look in any of the books for an answer.
Please feel free to attempt any of the questions!

[Flame of Udûn]

Since it's three days later, and MorgulKing has yet to reply, would anyone else like to ask a question?

[Eliot]

I'll be happy to. :D

Name all the Elven realms in Middle-earth from the second to the third ages.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Let us see how many I can remember, there is Mithlond, Rivendell, Mirkwood, Lorien, Ost-En-Edhil, That one at the mouth of the Anduin that I can't remember it's name, and that's all that I can remember at this moment in time. Since I don't know if that is all of them I will refrain from posting a question till I get conformation.

[Eliot]

I believe you got them all, except I don't know which one you're talking about when you said "The one at the mouths of the Anduin". I'm not sure which one that is, so I'll let you go ahead and ask the next question.

[Niniel]

Strictly speaking Ost-in-Edhil was the name of a place in the realm of Eregion/Hollin, but that's what you mean I guess.

[Manwë Súlimo]

In what year was the Fell Winter?

[Idril]

The winter of the year III 2911:D

Who/what was invaded and by whom /what during the Fell Winter?;)

[FoolOfATook]

The Shire was invaded by wolves, I think.

If I'm right, someone else can have the next question- I don't have my books with me...

[Idril]

Yup! But not only the Shire, but Eriador - it was invaded by white wolves.

As you don't have your books - I'll ask the next question then.

What did Aragorn give Arwen as a token of his love for her?:cool:

Q: Why were Ents created and who wanted them created?

[olorin the maia]

Ents were created at the prayer of Yavanna Kementari, who was troubled that the olvar could not run away to defend themselves from the Children of Iluvatar. Trees were the things she held most dear, "long in the growing, swift shall they be in the felling..."
this is from Silmarillion.

What is the name of the man who was missing and presumed dead, but led his men in at the last second and helped save Helm's Deep?

[Eriol]

Erkenbrand

What are the towns/villages named in the narrative of Frodo, Sam and Pippin's trip from Bag End to Crickhollow?

[Eliot]

Um, I'm going to go ahead and guess.

Hobbiton, Bywater, Pincup, Woodhall, Stock, and Crickhollow.

Like I said, it's just a guess.

[Goldberry]

Was the Woody End a town/village or some other place name?

[Eliot]

The Woody End was a forest. Woodhall was a village in the area of it.

[Eriol]

one missing still...

[Eliot]

Tuckborough, or maybe Brandy Hall? I'm not exactly sure if Brandy Hall can be counted as a city though.

[Aulë]

Rushey?

[Eriol]

nope...

(hint: It is on the great curve the road makes between the Woody End and the Marish)

[ssgrif]

Was it DeepHallow?

[Eriol]

no... (I had no idea this would turn out to be so difficult).

[Aulë]

Bucklebury?
Frogmorton?
Whitfurrows?

[Eriol]

aaaargh! Can it be that I have a different edition? It is the big, one-volume, in English... There is no reason for it to be so hard. It is right there on the map and Frodo mentions it.

[Aulë]

Are you sure?
I can't find it.
What letter does it begin with?

[Eriol]

It is called The Y***

[Aulë]

The Yale?

I didn't think that it was a town.
What was the quote where it was mentioned?

[Eriol]

Well, in my map it is attached to those small squares that mean a town, and Frodo mentions it when he is talking about the need for a shotcut, I think, in either "Three is Company" or "A Shortcut to Mushrooms". It is the part when they talk about not being able to visit "The Great Perch" (or is it Green?). Frodo says that the road makes a great curve and mentions The Yale at the sentence.

Oh well. As I said, I had no idea it would be so tough. I guess you're up Pip.

[Aulë]

hehe- it's the Golden Perch
I looked on the map, and there is no square next to Yale.
I couldn't find the quote though.
All I found was A shortcut to mushrooms
'We can cut straighter than than the road anyway,' answered Frodo. 'The ferry is east from Woodhall; but the hard road curves away to the left- you can see a bend of it away north over there. It goes around the north end of the Marish so as to strike the causeway from the Bridge above Stock. But that is miles out of the way. We could save a quarter of the distance if wed made a linefor thr Ferry from where we stand.'

Anyway, my question is 'What were the 5 types of footsteps that could be heard whilst the company were walking through Moria?'

[Elendil3119]

Men, elves, hobbits, orcs, Gollum's. Durin's Tower was carved into what rock?:D

[Idril]

Was it - Durin's Tower, carved in the living rock of Zirak-zigil, the peak of the Silvertine?

[Elendil3119]

Yup, and I guess you're up.:D

[Idril]

Tolkien mentions 8 main races of beings, what were they?;)

[Eriol]

Ainur, Hobbits, Men, Elves, Dwarves, Ents, Orcs, Trolls, kelvar, olvar, Eagles, Dragons...

How many steps were there at Orthanc's entrance? To reach the opening door, I mean.

EDIT: Wow, some people were in there really quick :) Someone post a question if you do not want mine...

[Elendil3119]

27.;) What was Elrond's relation to Galadriel?
