LOTR Trivia (Part 2)

[Elendil3119]

No problem gondorian...:) Would it possibly Aragorn while they were camping for the night on the shore?

[Feanorian]

You are right Elendil, Aragorn gave refrences to attepting to catch but never suceeded.

[Elendil3119]

On what date were the companions attacked on Weathertop?

[Eliot]

October 6th, T.A. 3018. I'll post my question soon.

[Eliot]

What was the date of Aragorn II Elessar's death?

[Manwë Súlimo]

He died in 120 of the fourth age, but I don't know if it says what day.

[olorin the maia]

March 1st, year 120 FA is when Aragorn (King Elessar) received the Gift of Men from Iluvatar.

[Elendil3119]

You're up olorin. :D

[olorin the maia]

whoops, not paying attention again.....here's an easy one......

According to Hobbit legal custom, how many signatures were required on a will and last testament?

[Anamatar IV]

That's a thinker....I'll have to reread the preface "Concerning Hobbits" of Lord of the Rings before I get back to you...I'll edit this post so just watch to see if I don't have it right.;)

[Niniel]

Seven signatures.
What are the names of the three oldest Ents, who are still alive during the War of the Ring?

[Idril]

Fangorn, Fladrif and Finglas I think.

[Niniel]

That's right, you're up.

[BlackCaptain]

You would be correct... Why would you only think when you have the book right in front of you?;)

[Idril]

Are you spying on me? (glancing nervously about) Actually the books are holding up a laptop off the floor - underfloor heating you see.

Right then - What is the name of the Hobbit museum & where was it?

[Elendil3119]

It was named Michel Delving and was located in...uh...the Eastfarthing? I'm not sure. :)

[BlackCaptain]

Michel Delving, in the West Farthing...

[BlackCaptain]

What do the Tengwar runes in the front of the book say?

[gilgalad]

In front of which book?

[Aulë]

Hmmm, I see no Tengwar runes in the front of my LOTR books....

[Idril]

Hey guys - you got the answer wrong!

What is the name of the Hobbit museum & where was it?

Mathom-house - the hobbit 'museum' in Michel Delving (chief town of the Shire in the White Downs, Westfarthing).


Well.................:D

[Lasgalen]

Now what happens? Does Idril post another question?

-Lasgalen

[Idril]

I'll let MorgulKing's question stand - just wanted to point the error out:p

Granted, I haven't got any Tengwar runes in front of my copy of LotRs:confused:

[Idril]

Right, I'll have a got at this anyway - I have Angerthas on my front cover, not tengwar - but it's on the title page, so here goes

of Westmarch by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien herein is set forth the history of the war of the ring and the return of the king as seen by the Hobbits:confused: :confused: :confused:

edit: I've been reading on the web, some books have the ring inscription on the cover - inlight of this: "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk / agh burzum-ishi krimpatul."
or

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.:confused: :confused: :confused:

[BlackCaptain]

Hmm... On all of the Lord of the Rings books I've read there are Tengwar runes on the cover page. There's also Angerthas on 'em. I guess it was a bad question. But 'Westermarch. By John Ronald Reul Tolkien...' Yada yada was the correct answer.

Idril's up

[Idril]

I believe my translation is a direct translation - letter for letter - not re-written to it makes sense in English - but I could be wrong - I got it of a site which specialises in Tolkien language.

Anyway - Who was Harry Goatleaf?

[Flame of Udûn]

The gatekeeper of Bree?

[Idril]

Yep. You're correct:)

Did you edit your post? I could have sworn you asked about 'herein' in the translation? Must be going mad:confused:

Anyway, if you did, here is where I found it - hope the link workshttp://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/4948/tengwar/exlotrt.htm

[Flame of Udûn]

What were the new gates of Minas Tirith composed of?

[BlackCaptain]

Mithril

[Aulë]

mithril AND steel :)

[BlackCaptain]

Well of course... I just thought that ... Oh ur right. :p

Question:

What were the two last names of Arwen.

[Feanorian]

Evenstar and Queen of Gondor(I am pretty sure this ones wrong but hey maybe not)

[BlackCaptain]

Sorry...

And theree may be more than 2, but im looking for the two most used. Those were wrong. One was right...

[Elendil3119]

Evenstar and Undomiel?

[BlackCaptain]

Correct:D

[BlackCaptain]

... You're up....

*waits patiently...:D *

[Manwë Súlimo]

Hellllllllooooooooooooo Elendil. It's your turn.

[Elendil3119]

Whoops, sorry people!:o Been slacking lately... Anyways, here goes:

Whom did Gandalf tell Pippin not to mention to Denethor and why?

[Eliot]

Aragorn?

[Ecthelion]

Boromir because he was killed and was Denthor's son?

[Elendil3119]

Eliot got the name right, but didn't give a reason. The reason is :Do as I bid! It is scarcely wise when bringing the news of the death of his heir to a mighty lord to speak over much of the coming of one who will, if he comes, claim the kingship.
I'll give it to you anyways. :) You're up, Eliot.

[Eliot]

Which orc called Gollum/Smeagol a "Sneak"?

[Lasgalen]

Shagrat

-Lasgalen

[Flame of Udûn]

Sam.

[BlackCaptain]

Which Orc, not Hobbit;) . I agree with Lasgalen.

[Eliot]

Originally posted by Lasgalen
Shagrat

-Lasgalen

Yup, go ahead.

[Lasgalen]

What was the name of the land given to the Rohirrim before it was called Rohan?

-Lasgalen

[Eliot]

Calenardhon.

I'll post my question sometime soon.

[BlackCaptain]

Eothead?

[BlackCaptain]

Whoops... guess not. Looks like I'm a littl elate anyways

[Eliot]

OK, this isn't a question, but sorta a fill-in-the-blank.

Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than -------?.

Fill in the blank.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Morgul Spells.

What did the Drúedan think the men of Gondor to eat?

[BlackCaptain]

What did they think the men of Gondor to eat? That doesnt make sense...

[Manwë Súlimo]

Oh sure it does. The Woses once thought the men of Gondor ate ________.

[olorin the maia]

Ghan-buri-Ghan told King Theoden that the Wild Men thought that the Men of Gondor ate stone for food, because of their ability to build roads, fortresses, colossal statues, etc.

What did the Towers of the Teeth guard?

[Manwë Súlimo]

The Morannon, or Cirith Gorgor, or the entrance to Mordor.

Who fell when the bridge and second hall were taken in Khazad-Dum?

[Eliot]

Oin?

[Aulë]

Frár, Lóni and Náli

[Manwë Súlimo]

Aulë got it, you're up.

[Aulë]

What is located south of Drúwaith Iaur?

[Eliot]

Anfalas? Soutern Gondor?

[Aulë]

No and No, even if the spelling were correct...

[Manwë Súlimo]

Well, a lot of stuff is south of that, but I'll just throw out Ras Morthil Andrast

[Aulë]

Yes, that is what I was looking for.

[Flame of Udûn]

Your question, Manwë Súlimo.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Sorry for the delay, school got in the way.

How many rings of power carry a jewel in them?

[BlackCaptain]

4?

[Anárion]

0

[Manwë Súlimo]

Nope and no

Think of how many there actually are.

[BlackCaptain]

19?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Yup, you got it

[BlackCaptain]

Cool...


Who was it that brought the Shards of Narsil to Rivendell after the disaster of Gladden fields?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Ohtar

How many entrances did Henneth-Annûn have?

[Anárion]

2

[Manwë Súlimo]

Yup your up

[Anárion]

Woo hoo!

What was the name of the spear that Gil-Galad took with him at the seige of Barad-Dur?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Aeglos

Someone else can do a question. I can't think of one.

[Anárion]

Correct! Id do another question, but that would take some digging, and I just did one. Plus, one of my hardest questions was answered in less then 3 mintues:(

[Eliot]

I'll go ahead. Who was the father of Elendil?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Amandil

Uh I can't remember if this was asked yet, and I'm far too lazy to look. What were the staff's of Frodo and Sam made of?

[olorin the maia]

the staves given to Fodo and Sam were made of lebethron "beloved of the woodwrights of Gondor."

What enemy was the 'only hope' of Gandalf? (Extra credit for where they were.)

[Iluisa Olórin]

Gandalf explains that his "only hope" to find the surface again was to pursue his enemy, the Balrog, "clutching at his heel." They were in Khazad-dûm.

[Iluisa Olórin]

What path was blocked forever when the Elves left Valinor?

[Aulë]

Was that given in "Lord of the Rings"?

[Iluisa Olórin]

Oops! :eek: I was thinking of another thread...

To where did Gandalf "gather" Gollum had been?

[BlackCaptain]

Moria?

[Iluisa Olórin]

Nope.

[Elendil3119]

Mordor. I will post my question in a moment.

[Elendil3119]

What was the banner of Rohan?

[Iluisa Olórin]

WRONG! My question still stands...

[Elendil3119]

Wut?! No way! Oh well, no need to get angry.:rolleyes: Someone else give it a shot...I have no clue.:D

[Iluisa Olórin]

Whoops :) I wasn't getting angry, seriously...

[olorin the maia]

After the loss of his Precious, Gollum at last forsook the Misty Mountains and his paddling feet took him to Esgaroth, and even to the streets of Dale. He was searching for the thief, Baggins.

Gandalf related this story, after getting it first-hand from Gollum.

Who sang "Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!" when it really counted?

[Iluisa Olórin]

Tom Bombadil, being heard by Frodo and Sam.

[Lasgalen]

Frodo at the barrow-downs

-Lasgalen

[BlackCaptain]

Tom Bombadil when the Hobbits were being trapped by Old Man Willow?

[olorin the maia]

Lasgalen has the answer I was looking for.

Frodo was in the Wight's Barrow, enchantment had taken all his friends, and out of the darkness of his mind, remembered the tune, sang it, and Tom heard!

A tough question , but a good answer.

[Lasgalen]

When Eomer describes his battle with the orcs, how many Men and how many horses did they lose?

-Lasgalen

[krash8765]

15 men?

[Eliot]

Yes Krash, 15 men. But, Eomer also lost some horses.

I will answer correctly. 15 men, and 12 horses.

When the Rohirrim refused to sell horses to Sauron, Orcs started stealing them. What was the only color of horse they wanted?

[Idril]

I make a guess - Black?

[BlackCaptain]

Yes, it was black... your turn

[Idril]

LOL:D

What made this sound- 'neek-breek, breek-neek' -and where?

[Eliot]

Was it those bug thingeys in the Midgewater Marshes?

[Iluisa Olórin]

Neekerbreekers... being a name, coined by Sam, for the creatures that inhabited the reeds of the Midgewater Marshes that squeaked 'neek-breek, breek-neek' all night. They were presumed to be, by the Hobbits, 'evil relatives of crickets.'

[Eliot]

Yeah, I'd say you got that right, Iluisa O. :D

[Iluisa Olórin]

What was the First Deep?

[BlackCaptain]

dude! I love neekerbreekers! That was like, the easiest question in the world for me! Yay!

Anywhoo...

The first deep i'd have to say is.... ummmm.... The Deeping Coomb.

[Iluisa Olórin]

:D Nope, not the Deeping Comb...

[olorin the maia]

the first Deep referred to a lower level of Moria.

[Iluisa Olórin]

Yes: the level immediately below the Gates.

[olorin the maia]

my go?

Ok.

What was the "servant of the Dwarves."

[Aulë]

Ravens?

[BlackCaptain]

Hello Olorin!

hm...

My guess would also be ravens, but I'm a little to slow to have answered before Aule...:D

[Manwë Súlimo]

Hmm, this seems to have died. Been 9 days since the last post. I move for a new question.

[Eliot]

Go ahead Manwë. I don't care. I would've forgotten about this thread, if not for your posting. :D

P.S. I just figured out how to put that symbol above the "E" in your name. :D

[William Amos]

Gandalf made reference

Paraphrasing

"Mithril was only found in Moria" They also found gold their (something I forgot what) and Iron their servant"

[FoolOfATook]

William Amos is correct- the exact quote is

'For mithril,' answered Gandalf. 'The wealth of Moria was not in gold and jewels, the toys of the Dwarves; nor in iron, their servant.'

For those who worry about quotes. ;)

[Anárion]

I thought this was a trivia...as in, we ask a question.
Open up a quoting thread if you want to quote. I know a few things about LoTR, which is why I challenge myself to the LoTR Triva. However, I dont have the whole book memorized! The only quotes I know are cool lines from the movie ("You carry the fate of us all little one") and lines that stuck in my head from the book. (None come to mind, told you I dont have the book memorized)

[Aulë]

Ummm, yes we know that....
FoolOfATook was just referencing where he got his answer from.

William Amos- You're up. :)

[William Amos]

Hmm Ok will think of something.

who said

"Chase Away the darkness with Bright Steel"

[Flame of Udûn]

This is a trivia game, not a quotes game. You're just confirming Anárion's objection.

[Idril]

William Amos, you need to post a trivia question, not a quote - we have a "quotable Quotes" game as well, but this isn't it:) Try again.

[Eriol]

And anyway, that was said by Ghân-buri-ghân. Great guy! I think I'll invite him for my party at Rhiannon's bored thread...

[William Amos]

Ok will try again.

Name the 5 major settlements of the Elves in Middle Earth after the 1st Age. (one was destroyed)

For added Bonus name 5 Dwarf settlements after the First age.

[Eliot]

Elf settlements: Lindon, Imladris, Lórien, Ost-in-Edhil, and Greenwood the Great.

Dwarf settlements: Ered Luin, Khazad-dûm, Erebor, Iron Hills, and Aglarond.

OK, my question: Which Dwarf settlement colonized Aglarond?

[Inderjit S]

'Aglarond' The Glittering Caves, was settled in by the Dwarves of Erebor.

What was the original name of Tol-Brandir?

[William Amos]

I know Gimili led Dwarves from Durins folk into the dunno if the were from Erebor or Iron Hills.

BTW was one other settlement of Dwarves though not as permenant. Was the one in Dunland set up after the fall of Moria.

[Aulë]

Well Men call it The Tindrock.

Knowing you, you've probably pulled this Q out of HoME, but in this thread, only questions which can be answered with a standard copy of Lord of the Rings can be asked.:)

[William Amos]

my mstake misread the answer thought last post was addressed to me.

[Inderjit S]

Sorry It was a HoME question, I will ask a new one:

Which character from LoTR shares the same name as a great Noldorin loremaster of Tirion?

[Eliot]

Celeborn. I think...

What land in Middle-earth was formerly the gardens of the Entwives?

Please tell me if my answer was right. If wrong, I'll delete it.

[Inderjit S]

Your answer is wrong.

[Aulë]

Inder...are you sure that the answer can be found in LOTR??
THis looks like another HoME question....;)
The Lambengolmor weren't mentioned in LOTR.

[Nóm]

Rumil

Answered just to spite Aule :D... hehehe... he's bugging me on MSN about it :D ;)

Someone else can ask the next question.

[Aulë]

Hmm, I doubt that a person who had only read Lord Of The Rings could have been able to answer that question.
So I say: Invalid! :p

Here's a valid question: What is the Tincotéma?

[Ithrynluin]

Good god, Aule...did you really expect anyone to answer this without looking it up?:rolleyes:

Luckily I knew where to look for this at least.

Tincotéma is 'the dental or t-series' of letters in the Feanorian alphabet.

What was Merry's lesser known, unusual name?

[Inderjit S]

Meriadoc?

[Idril]

Holdwine?

[Aulë]

Kalimac Brandagamba?

[Ithrynluin]

Oh, I guess I should have been more specific. Idril got the one I had in mind.

[Idril]

Sorry folks - I didn't realise it was my turn:(, thanks FoU:)

How many men did Beregond kill whilst trying to save Faramir from Denethor?

[Beleg]

one.

[Idril]

Hm.... No:(

[Eriol]

Three (the porter + 2 servants of Denethor)

Give me 5 names of the dead celebrated in the song at the end of the chapter "The Battle of Pelennor Fields"

(Try to do it without looking it up, it's easy)

[Celebthôl]

2? and they were Denethors personal guard :) i know that much

[Elendil3119]

There's Theoden, of course.

[Aulë]

Théoden
Forlong
Hirluin the Fair
Grimbold
Duilin

[Eriol]

Yep. Go ahead...

[Aulë]

How many words are in Lord Of The Rings (minus Appendices)?
(Forward 'This tale grew in the telling...' --> ''Well, I'm back,' he said.').

I'll give or take 50 words on the figure I have.
I'll also do this 'The Price is Right' style (Higher/Lower)

[Gandalf White]

*Gandalf White groans*

Not again, please! ;)

Idril, if you read this, I need the site that you gave Swordmaster for "The Hobbit." Thanks. ;)

[Celebthôl]

uuuh, 4?

[Gandalf White]

Sorry, Celebthol, this isn't a trick question, unfortunately. Check out 'Hobbit Trivia' in The Hobbit section, page 21, for a hint.

*Runs away from Aule, who is mad at him for giving out clues*:eek:

[Aulë]

Thol: Higher ;)

[Eliot]

Is it between 5,000 and 10,000?

[Celebthôl]

more, as there is nearly 1000 pages, about 100 words per page, id say about 100,000 wordsish?

[Aulë]

Eliot & Thol: Higher

[Celebthôl]

150,000

[Aulë]

Thol: Higher

[Celebthôl]

200,000?

[Aulë]

Thol: Higher.

That's enough guesses out of you for now. ;)
Give the others a chance.

[Celebthôl]

ahhh no fair :( i was gettin closer :D

[Eliot]

750,000?

[Aulë]

Eliot: Lower

[Eliot]

650,000?

[Inderjit S]

This is a guess but is it 515, 666?

[Aulë]

Eliot & Inder: Lower

[Lasgalen]

How about 379,100

[Iluisa Olórin]

478,000.

[Aulë]

Lasgalen: Higher
Iluisa Olórin: Lower

[Lasgalen]

Well, I haven't posted that much lately, so I will take another stab at it.

420,001

[Aulë]

Lasgalen: Higher.

[Celebthôl]

450,000?

[Aulë]

Thol: Higher

[Gandalf White]

461,523?

Why do persist in posting these truly evil questions? ;)

[Aulë]

Gandalf: Higher


To irritate you, GW
I do it solely to annoy you ;)

[Gandalf White]

Ah.....

470,442?

[Celebthôl]

465,500?

[Aulë]

GW&Thol: Higher

[Gandalf White]

*AAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH*

476,442

[Aulë]

GW: Higher

[Gandalf White]

Ok, I'm going to take a break, as I've had 3 guesses. I'll be back later to check up. :mad:







478,500? ;)

[Aulë]

It's already been stated that it's below 478,000 ;)

[Gandalf White]

Aha!!! How could I miss that? :eek: I thought it was only below 480,000.

Because of that I should get another guess! ;)

477,200?

[Aulë]

GW: Lower

[Niniel]

Well, here's my blind guess: 477253
I hope I'm wrong, otherwise GW will get very upset:)

[Aulë]

I just said that the answer is lower than 477,200 :)

[Niniel]

Oh, you posted right before me. Another guess: 477013.

[Aulë]

*A bell starts ringing, and balloons and confetti start falling from the ceiling*

Congratulations! The Price is Right!.....I mean answer....
:D :D :D :D :D :D



You're up.:)

[Niniel]

Poor GW... he tried much harder than me. How many words were there exactly BTW? And where did you find this tantalizing piece of information?
I don't think I can come up with something that will take you this long, but here goes:
How many enquier go into 3 yén (I don't think yén is plural, but you get my meaning).

[Beleg]

And where did you find this tantalizing piece of information?

This tantalizing piece of information is not difficult to get acess too if only you have the right means...;)

[Elendil3119]

My *version* (;)) said 477, 541...:confused:

[Aulë]

Poor GW... he tried much harder than me. How many words were there exactly BTW? And where did you find this tantalizing piece of information?


There were 477,015 words in my version (in which I didn't include certain bits: only the main text).
I got this information by counting the words in the books. (Took a very LONG time ;) )

And is the answer 8766?

[Eliot]

Originally posted by Niniel
enquier

What is that?

[Iluisa Olórin]

(According to the Calendar of Imladris), an enquië being a week of six days, a yén being a year of 52,596 days and there being 8,766 enquiër in each yén: there are 26,298 enquiër in three yén.

[Gandalf White]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH

*Gandalf White is....is......frustrated....infuriated.....annoyed ....appalled.....incredibly glad that the question is over with

You guys nearly made me start to pluck my beard out! (Hmm....a wizard with no beard...)

This tantalizing piece of information is not difficult to get acess too if only you have the right means... Everyone read this so we don't have to go through it again! It (I believe) is an E-book! Opens on Microsoft Word, which can count all the words in the document. (Or something like that.)

I got this information by counting the words in the books. Aule, I swear if you post anything else like that....... ;) :)


Good job though, Niniel! :)

[Niniel]

Iluisa has answered my question... so your turn!

[Aulë]

I thought that I did first....

[Niniel]

No, you were wrong (I asked the number of enquier in THREE yén).

[Iluisa Olórin]

Who was the son of Beorn?

[Beleg]

Grimbeorn the Old

[Iluisa Olórin]

You're up!

[Beleg]

Till where has the Road East of Bree been measured in miles?

[Idril]

'beyond the Forsaken Inn, a day's journey east of Bree'

[Beleg]

correct.

[Idril]

Aulë, you are wicked:p. I couldn't believe you did that to Gandalf White again! And GW - did you ever get to RangerDave's site?

Anyway, enough natter:

Who/what are the oathbreakers?

[Beleg]

The people living in the White Mountains, under the Dead King.
The Shadow Host.

[Idril]

Yep! from the prophesy of Malbeth "The Tower trembles; to the tombs of kings doom approaches. The Dead awaken; for the hour is come for the oathbreakers..."

You're up:)

[Beleg]

Aulë, you are wicked. I couldn't believe you did that to Gandalf White again! And GW - did you ever get to RangerDave's site?
Better yet, Kazaa. ;)

What is the Star of the House of Feanor wrought off?

[Idril]

Ithildin. The star of Feanor is on the door of Durin.

[Beleg]

Good enough. :)

[Idril]

Hmm.., what else was there then?

Whose handwritting is recognised in the Book of Mazarbul?

[Beleg]

Erm, Ori's?

[Idril]

Yes, Gimli recognised Ori's Elvish writing.

You're up:)

[Beleg]

What is Nenuial?

[Niniel]

That's not in LOTR, is it? So maybe you'd better ask something from LOTR.

[Eriol]

A lake north of the Shire, where Galadriel and Celeborn once dwelt...

Which languages are heard by the hobbits in the book (even single words)?

EDIT: Lake Nenuial is, at least, in the map...

[Beleg]

Eriol, can you explain your Quessie a bit?

[Aulë]

She wants a list of ALL Middle-Earth languages spoken in the presense of the Hobbits (Pip, Merry, Frodo, Sam) in LoTR.

Entish
Orkish
Quenyan
Khuzdul
Westron/Common Speech
Black Speech


I'm not sure about Sindarin

[Eriol]

Missing some... and I'm a he ;)

[Beleg]

and I'm a he
Brazilian Beauties are known to be very beautiful....

Entish
Quenya
Sindarian --Name Fimberthil is Sindarian
Khazadul
Black Speech
Westron
Speech of Rohirrim
Speech of Dunlandp----well atleast a word
Speech of The Silvan Elves
words from old forgetten Hobbit Language

[Aulë]

Sorry- for some reason I get you and Idril mixed up....;)


Telerin
Nandorin
Adûnaic

[Eriol]

One is missing. I believe the tongue spoken in Lórien was Sindarin, but with a foreign accent that "fooled" Frodo; I have no idea where they might have heard Telerin! And Nandorin? You're stretching here, guys :D.

So far we have:

Westron
Adûnaic
Entish
Quenya
Sindarin (possibly Silvan as well)
"Hobbit language", akin to Rohirric
Rohirric
Dunlending's language
Khuzdul
Black Speech
Orkish


One is missing...

[Beleg]

Language of Druedain?

[Eriol]

Correct. It seems they heard rather more languages than we would after a similar journey in length, doesn't it?

You're up Beleg.

[Beleg]

What is the full name of Numenor in Quenya?

Edit: I am off for the Night. So if you're sure your answer is correct, then Post your Question rightaway.

[Elendil3119]

Númenórë

What is Elwe's relation to Galadriel?

[Ithrynluin]

Since Olwë is Galadriel's grandfather, Elwe is her 'grand uncle'.

Which Steward of Gondor's nickname meant the same as one particular First Age hero's nickname?

Technically, that would be great uncle, but I'll let you have it anyways...;)

NEW QUESTION: Which Valar is Theoden 'like'? ;)

[Beleg]

Err, not sure If the Answer is found in LOTR.

Aule.

[Aulë]

Manwë?

[Eriol]

I am quite positive he was compared to Oromë somewhere in a song... and I also want to get this back to the top ;)

[Niniel]

You're right Eriol: 'and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young.' It's not a song, but the answer is correct.

[BlackCaptain]

Heellloooo Erioll.....:confused: :eek:

[Eliot]

All right, due to Eriol's absence, I'll ask the next question.

How many steps lead up to the front door of the tower of Orthanc?

[Idril]

27? I recall the number from the depths of my memory - so it may well be wrong;)

[BlackCaptain]

Yeah... Thats right. You're up Idril!

[Idril]

Okay......

OK, here's a weird guess: Eorl?

[Idril]

What a weird guess:confused: but correct, Eorl the Young (Aragorn translating poem just before they reach the Golden Hall)

You're up Eliot:)

[Eliot]

Oh, be still my heart..... that guess was completely out of the blue! :) That's amazing. :)
