LOTR Trivia (Part 2)

[Celebthôl]

Denethor?

[Iluisa Olórin]

Beregond; Denethor was the twenty-ninth.

[Eliot]

Both of you are wrong. :)

[Elendil3119]

Túrin II, the great-grampa of Denethor II. :) I'll edit this post once I think of a good question...

[Iluisa Olórin]

The Stewards of Gondor, according to the Appendices to The Lord of the Rings:

I Pelendur
II Vorondil
III Mardil Voronwë
IV Mardil
V Eradan
VI Herion
VII Belegorn
VIII Húrin I
IX Túrin I
X Hador
XI Barahir
XII Dior
XIII Denethor I
XIV Boromir
XV Cirion
XVI Hallas
XVII Húrin II
XVIII Belecthor I
XIX Orodreth
XX Ecthelion I
XXI Egalmoth
XXII Beren
XXIII Beregond
XXIV Belecthor II
XXV Thorondir
XXVI Túrin II
XXVII Turgon
XXVIII Ecthelion II
XXIX Denethor II
XXX Faramir

[Aulë]

I believe that Iluisa Olórin is correct.

Elendil, the question was asking for the 23rd Steward, not the 23rd Ruling Steward.
Pelendur, Vorondil and Mardil Voronwë were non-ruling Stewards.

I'm just thinking though; there would have been Stewards before Pelendur. Although they would have been elected, rather then being hereditary.
So this question is quite unanswerable.
But in terms of what Tolkien wrote, Iluisa would be correct.

[Eliot]

Sorry Iluisa, I got the Stewards mixed up.

[Lasgalen]

That steward vs ruling steward thing is so confusing. I thought it was Turin II also.

[Beleg]

The Question posted by Eliot is puzzling. He is asking for the 23'rd Steward of Gondor and the list that Illusia provided only cites the names of the known stewards while we have no reason to think that there were no stewards before Pelendur.

[Iluisa Olórin]

Who was greeted with the title Ernil i Pheriannath?

[Celebthôl]

Pippin Took ;)

[Iluisa Olórin]

You're up!

[Celebthôl]

hehe, hmmm, how many men did The prince of Dol Amroth bring with him?

[Luthien Tunivel]

Can I play?

[BlackCaptain]

Sure! Just answer the question...

Uhm... I think it was 700, but that's just a general guess... You're looking for an exact answer right?

[Luthien Tunivel]

I think it was three and a half thousand, but I'm not quite sure.

[Niniel]

'And last and proudest, Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth, kinsman of the Lord, with gilded banners bearing his token of the Ship and the Silver Swan, and a company of knights in full harness riding grey horses; and behind him sevdn hundreds of men at arms...' So he has 700 men AND a company of knights; but later it says that he 'should find three and a half thousands,' for the march to the Black Gate, but I suppose these are not from his own men.

[Celebthôl]

That will do i guess :) next person can go....

[Niniel]

Well, BC and Luthien were both right in some way but since I'm here first I'll post a question:
What are the names of the days of the week in Quenya?
Not too hard I should think.

[Flammifer]

Here's a question:

In RotK in the Last Debate, Gandalf desribes Sauron as but a

_______ or _________ ???

[Flammifer]

Niniel:

Elenya, Anarya, Isliya, Alduya, Menelya and Valanya (Or Tarion). I must admit I had to look these up!

[Niniel]

'servant or emissary'
What word was used by Théoden for 'hobbit'?

[Lasgalen]

Holbytla

[Niniel]

No, I mean in the Rohirric language.

[Flammifer]

Question, Niniel:

Is the answer to your Hobbit-Rohan question in the Field of Cormallen chapter in RotK? Is it one of the languages in the "Praise them with great praise" thing?

[Niniel]

No, it's in the appendices, almost at the end of the book.

[Lantarion]

Niniel: the word Théoden used was Kud-dûkan.

[Niniel]

Exactly, your turn.

[Flammifer]

Well Lantarion doesn't seem to have a question so I'll offer one:

Who said this:

"The Dark Lord has Nine. But we have One, mightier than they: The White Rider."

[Celebthôl]

Aragorn

[Flammifer]

That's right Thol - bit too easy wasn't it?

Your turn!

[Flame of Udûn]

Name one of Snowmane's parents.

[Elendil3119]

Lightfoot.

What were the names of the 3 books of LotR that Tolkien originally proposed?

Book 1: __________________
Book 2: __________________
Book 3: __________________

[Flame of Udûn]

How can we know that without TCHOME?

[Elendil3119]

Not sure what you're referring to. :confused:

[Flame of Udûn]

The Complete History of Middle-Earth by Christopher Tolkien.

[Lasgalen]

Does it say in The Lord of the Rings anywhere what the names Tolkien originally proposed were?

[Elendil3119]

No, it doesn't. But since the question is related to LotR, I figured it'd be ok. Guess I was wrong...;) The answer is:

1: The Return of the Shadow
2: The Shadow Lengthens
3: The Return of the King

From Letter 139. Anyone else can ask a question...I can't think of one right now.

[Flammifer]

I got a question -

What was Saruman's nickname? Who was it derived from and what language? What did it mean? (roughly)

[Lasgalen]

Nickname was Sharkey. Derived from Orcish word Sharku. It meant old man.

[BlackCaptain]

You're up Lasgalen

[Lasgalen]

What did Eowyn call the Witch-king?

[Beleg]

Dwimmerlaik.

[Lasgalen]

Correct. Your turn :)

[Beleg]

What is the Origin of Athelas?

[Manveru]

Are you seeking the name of a place that athelas is brought from?

'Cause that would be Numenor...

(but I am not sure if you are looking for that...;))

[Beleg]

Yeah sure. Númenorë It is!

[Manveru]

It's a lot of question that you all asked here (I don't want to 'double' any of them... but I also don't have time to search through them all;)). So if my question was already asked... it would be easy to guess:D:D

Here it is:

'How did Elfhelm call the 'Wild Men of the Woods' during a conversation with Merry?'

[Beleg]

Wose[s]

[Manveru]

That's right...

Your turn to ask.

:D

[Beleg]

What is Ghash?

And If you are entirely sure you are correct then post away the answer along with your question.

[Flammifer]

Ghash is Orkish for fire, Gandalf reports that the Orcs of Moria were muttering it just before the confrontation with the Balrog.

To where did Gandalf say he would look if he could use the Palantir?

(I've specifically made this question vague so as not to give away too much about where to find it....though it is probably obvious anyway)

[BlackCaptain]

Into the minds of all the wise who do not percieve him? If that's right I'm the scariest person in the world cuz that's a complete guess

[Flame of Udûn]

That's not right. Is it to Aman?

[Flammifer]

Well no not exactly Flame of Udun, but you're pretty close...........I'm afraid that's not right BlackCaptain!

[Celebthôl]

Into the old west?

[BlackCaptain]

Ah man... Oh well... At least I'm not a phsycic wierdo:rolleyes: :D

[Flammifer]

Lol BC, well I'll now claim that I have stumped you learned people, but you guys are really close, so should I tell you? It's in TTT

[Celebthôl]

The ancient west?

[Flammifer]

Well yeah that's where it is Thol, but think Feanor and where he used to live.........think the chapter in TTT "The palantir"

[Celebthôl]

The masters who made the palatir in the ancient west?

Im trying to avoid the books here ;)

[Idril]

Tirion

[elithraniel]

Though there is some confusion in the matter of who Tar-Calmacil's (the eighteenth ruler of Númenor) successor was, what does The Lord of the Rings list the King following Tar-Calmacil as?

(Um, I'm new so I hope it is okay for me to be posting here! :D)


"Gondor! Gondor!" cried Aragorn. "Would that I looked on you again in happier hour! Not yet does my road lie southward to your bright streams."

[Flammifer]

That's right Idril, Tirion the Fair blah blah blah.........

Anyway! Welcome elithraniel, it's perfectly fine for you to post in this thread! :)

In response to your question, I cannot remember who followed Tar-Calmacil, and I'd have to refer to the books, which I don't wanna do lest someone else can remember it!

[Anárion]

Oh phooey. All you hippies and your Silmarillion questions.

Cant anyone ask an easy question that I know but its imposible for everyone else?

Oh, and just so I dont get in trouble, Im gonna have to guess Ar-Adunakhor

Yes, Im aware that Im wrong, but hey! Its better to have guessed and lost then to have never guessed before.

[Flammifer]

Haha Anárion..........we hippies don't ask Silmarillion questions in the LOTR section, don't worry bout that, but the answer I'm guessing would be in the Appendices of LOTR............I'm sure your time will come when there's a question that you know but no one else does!

[Anárion]

Hmm...I suppose, but time sure does take quite a while to mosey its way toward my dwelling =/

[Flammifer]

Though there is some confusion in the matter of who Tar-Calmacil's (the eighteenth ruler of Númenor) successor was, what does The Lord of the Rings list the King following Tar-Calmacil as?

The answer, according to the Appendices of LOTR is Ar-Adunakhor! LOL well done Anarion! You're up! :)

[Anárion]

LOL! Well, what do you know! The only king I know next to Ar-Pharazon, who had something to do with Numenor, is right!

Hmm...well my question is....well, I wasnt expecting to win you see...hmmmmm

Alright, I got one:

How long did it take for the first building of Barad-dûr?

[BlackCaptain]

600 I believe. I think from year 1000 to 1600, or 600 to 1600. Can't remember. I'm goin with 600 years though

[Anárion]

Encyclopedia of Arda
The first building of Barad-dûr, when Sauron was first came to Mordor, took six hundred years to complete

Excellent work, excellent.

Your up Capt'n

[BlackCaptain]

What do the 'vulgar' call Athelas, and what do their economical counterparts call it?

Little gramatical triva thrown in there as well:rolleyes: :D

[Flammifer]

What do the 'vulgar' call Athelas, and what do their economical counterparts call it?

Little gramatical triva thrown in there as well :rolleyes: :D

LOL BC :)

Umm if by economical counterparts you mean gardeners, then "kingsfoil" is its name, but I'm not aware that it had a 'vulgar' name, unless you mean that "kingsfoil" is the vulgar name and "asea aranion" is the name given to it by the 'economical counterparts'. :confused: . Or maybe you mean pipe-weed, which is called "westmansweed" by the 'vulgar'?

[BlackCaptain]

It is called westmansweed by the Vulgar yes... Vulgar people are poor... What is the oposite of poor on the big Economical Triangle thing?

Noblety. What do the Noble and Vulgar call Athelas? We have Westmansweed already...

[Flame of Udûn]

BlackCaptain, I couldn't really understand what you were saying, but Westmansweed (AKA Halflings' Leaf) is not the same thing as Athelas (AKA Kingsfoil or Asëa Aranion).

[Flammifer]

It is called westmansweed by the Vulgar yes... Vulgar people are poor... What is the oposite of poor on the big Economical Triangle thing?

Noblety. What do the Noble and Vulgar call Athelas? We have Westmansweed already...

Yeah BC umm but like Flame of Udun said "Westmansweed" is pipe-weed/halfling's leaf, not Athelas, althought it would make sense for Athelas to be called "Westmansweed" because the Men of the West brought it from Numenor, Athelas doesn't really have a vulgar name, pipe-weed does.

The noble name for it is "Asëa Aranion", which I believe is in the Valinorean tongue.

[BlackCaptain]

AGhhhhhhhh I've been on a loosing streak with terms lately... I thought they were still talking about Athelas when I skimmed through it. I guess they were talking about Shire-weed. I'm terribly mistaken...:o :o

Flammifer, for your efforts, I will award you with asking the next question.

Sorry for my incompitence:o :rolleyes:

[Flammifer]

Sorry for my incompitence

LOL BC that's OK don't worry about it! :)

OK then here's my question:

How many Rangers were there that came out of the north to take the Paths of the Dead?

[BlackCaptain]

Wild guess:
35? (Including Halbarad)

[Flammifer]

No that's not quite right but you're close! :)

[Éomond]

30? (i know i'm wrong but my memory is coming back)

[Niniel]

31 including Halbarad ('I have thirty with me' he says, so including himself that's 31).

[Flammifer]

That's right Niniel! You're up! :)

[Niniel]

What is Fen Hollen?

[Flammifer]

What is Fen Hollen?

Umm it's like the door that leads to the Hallows in Minas Tirith isn't it?

[Niniel]

Yes, but I'd like the English name that's used in the book.

[Flame of Udûn]

The Closed Door.

[Flammifer]

I'm almost positive that's right Flame of Udun, so I reckon it's OK to post your new question! ---->

[Flammifer]

Flame of Udûn seems to be reluctant to reply, sooo...

How long did the Battle of the Peak last, and where was it fought? Give me the name of the mountain in Elvish and Dwarvish......

[Ellena]

This does indeed mean *closed Door* in sind language.
It is an ornamental door which is gaurded and is the gateway in the sixth circle of Minas Tirith, facing Mount Mindiluin.
It led to the Hallows, which was the final resying place of Gondors great warriors, upon a high level area between the city and the cliffs above.

[Éohælo]

What description did Gandalf use with Butterbur when talking about Frodo?

[BlackCaptain]

Eohaelo, you have to first anser the question given at the present to ask a question ;)

15 days? Zirak-Zigil's Peak; Zirak Zigil, [(Elvish) ?]

[Éohælo]

Oh...sorry. *First newbie mistake....*

[Flammifer]

Hehe don't worry about it Éohælo! :D

Umm..........one-third right BC......:)

[Aulë]

Length- 2 days
Where- Durin's Tower
Mountain- Celebdil (Elvish), Zirakzigil (Dwarvish), Silvertine (Mannish)

[Flammifer]

Excellent work Aulë, fire away!

[Aulë]

Who is the father of the person who claimed to have seen Tree-men in the North Moors?

[Flammifer]

umm was it......Gaffer (Hamfast) Gamgee? Wait no that doesn't make sense coz Sam reckons that Hal is his cousin doesn't he? Argh stupid hobbits and their families!

[Aulë]

Nope- Not the Gaffer.

[BlackCaptain]

Ohh..!! Sam's uncle I think.... ehhh.... I know it was Hal who saw them...

Halfast?

[Starbrow]

It was Halfred of Overhill.

What is Henneth Annun?

[BlackCaptain]

Window on the West

[Aulë]

Yes, or 'The Window of the Sunset' I believe.

You're up BC :)

[BlackCaptain]

Who sings this:

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair

And in what book?

[Arvedui]

Bilbo sang that in Rivendell, in the chapter The Ring goes South from the second book (The Fellowship goes South????) of The Lord of the Rings.

[BlackCaptain]

Dang I knew I shouldve looked for a better question.

[Arvedui]

He-he....;)

Now, who said this, and on what occation?
It is sad that we should meet only thus at the ending. For the world is changing: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, and I smell it in the air. I do not think we shall meet again.

[BlackCaptain]

You'd think it's Galadriel because of those New Line punks:D , but I'm gonna go ahead and say Celeborn to Aragorn when they were on the shores of the Celebrant, going out to the Anduin

[Arvedui]

Well, they are both wrong.....:D

[Aulë]

RotK: Many Parting
Then Treebeard said farewell to each of them in turn, and he bowed three times slowly and with great reverence to Celeborn and Galadriel. 'It is long, long since we met by stock or by stone, A vanimar,vanimálion nostari!' he said. 'It is sad that we should meet only thus at the ending. For the world is changing: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, and I smell it in the air. I do not think we shall meet again.'

Therefore, it was Treebeard who spoke those words.
And the occasion: When Frodo, Gandalf, Galadriel and co. were passing through Isengard; and splitting up on their different ways.

[Arvedui]

And we have a winner!

[Aulë]

Now, I think we'll save the quotes for the Quotable Quotes thread, shall we? ;)


Who were the only people who could listen to the words of Saruman without being 'persuaded' by his power?

[Beleg]

Galadriel, Gandalf, Elrond maybe?

[Aulë]

Yep,
You're up.

[Beleg]

Name five Ents.

[Aulë]

Treebeard
Leaflock
Skinbark
Fimbrethil (or, if you don't want Entwives- Beechbone)
Quickbeam

[Aulë]

Who supposedly made Sam's Elven rope?

[Eliot]

Galadriel?

[Flammifer]

Yeah I thought it was either Galadriel or erm "the Elf" whose name isn't mentioned, coz don't they say something like:

"Had we known that making rope delighted you, we would have taught you much" or something like that?

So isn't it just the Elves of Lorien? Or is it the particular Elf that I mentioned above?

[Aulë]

Sam mentioned later on that Galadriel made the rope.
So Eliot is up.

[Eliot]

What circle in Minas Tirith did Pippin find Merry on?

[BlackCaptain]

wasn't it in Rath Dinen? no probly not... i'm gonna guess 3rd

[Eliot]

Originally posted by BlackCaptain
i'm gonna guess 3rd

Very close....

[BlackCaptain]

Must have been the second... I cant see why Merry would have been allowed, or even had the strength to reach the 4th

[Eliot]

Originally posted by BlackCaptain

Incorrect....

[Gary Gamgee]

the first

[Aulë]

RotK: The Houses Of Healing
They turned out of the lane that ran between tall houses and the outer wall of the fourth circle, and they regained the main street climbing up to the Citadel.
I'd say the fourth circle then. Although it would be possible for it to be the high-end of the third.

[Aulë]

Originally posted by meneldor
' rammas echor' meaning encircling walls built by ecthelion 2 after the total loss ithilien, about eighty years before the war if the ring.

Hehe- That Q was from the first page of the quiz. You're about 110 pages behind there, meneldor. ;)

[meneldor]

the outer wall of minas tirith was called rammas echor built eighty years before the war of the ring by ecthelion the 2nd.

[Eliot]

Originally posted by Aulë

Correct :)

[Aulë]

What did Sauron feed the fell beasts of the Nazgúl with?

[Celebthôl]

Men?

[Aulë]

Nope.

[Idril]

Chocolate-Frosted Devil's Food Trollcakes? :D

[Eliot]

Orcs? :rolleyes:

[Eriol]

Originally posted by Idril

Hehe.

I think it is "flesh from his [Sauron's] own hand".

[Aulë]

Nope- not the answer I'm looking for.

[BlackCaptain]

Fell meats?

[Aulë]

Correct.
I would have also accepted 'Pal Meatybites', 'Chum' or 'Whiskas'. ;)

[BlackCaptain]

What do Hobbit's call Friday?

[Gary Gamgee]

Highday

[BlackCaptain]

So how long did it take you to find it in the book huh??!? AGH!!! I THOGUHT FOR SURE THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE!

Oh well.... good job Gary. Hahaha sorry I'm a little tired... ignore that first little paragraph looking thing

[Gary Gamgee]

LOL

Oh well I guess I'm up and I haven't played before so this question may already have been asked but hey ho

What are the names of the three mountains that Moria lies beneath?

[Eliot]

Celebdil (Silvertine), Caradhras (Redhorn), and Fanuidhol (Cloudyhead).

Next to what river was Framsburg located?

[Aulë]

Although it can't be found in LotR (and therefore inelligble), I am guessing that it was a city built by King Fram somewhere near the sources of the Anduin River.
I read somewhere that it was the River Greylin.

[Gary Gamgee]

It was on the Anduin.

Oh and yes those where right Eliot.:D

[Flammifer]

In that case, you're up Gary!

Next to what river was Framsburg located?

As Aulë said, Framsburg isn't actually in LOTR, so the question would be void, but meh it's your first time so that's OK! (Personally I don't have any idea what the Framsburg is anyway! :D)

[Gary Gamgee]

oh okay

Who was reported to have seen Treemen in the old forest?

[Aulë]

Hehe, a similar question was asked 1 page ago ;)
It was Halfast, son of Halfred of Overhill :)

[Inderjit S]

He didn't see Treemen in the Old Forest. He saw them in Northfarthing when he was hunting. We never get a reference to a specific person telling tales about seeing things in the Old Forest.

[Eliot]

Originally posted by Flammifer

Um, no. This isn't my first time in this thread. Just got a little carried away, that's all. I wasn't thinking "LOTR" trivia. I was thinking "Middle–earth" trivia. :) I was on this thread months before you got here, I just didn't post here for months also. ;) :D

According to my atlas, Framsburg was closer to the River Langwell, instead of Greylin. But, I'll let it pass...

[Gary Gamgee]

oh okay sorry. Guess Aule is up.

[Aulë]

What do all Ent-houses contain?

[Inderjit S]

Water.

[Aulë]

Indeed

You're up.

[Inderjit S]

Who was assigned to take care of the younger uncle of Halfast, after the Scouring of the Shire?

[Aulë]

Well the younger uncle would be Andwise Roper (the elder being the Gaffer).
Now...I cant recall him being mentioned in the Scouring...

[Flammifer]

Argh damn it! Stop confusing me with your deliberate vagueness! Hmm......are we talking Gaffer Hamgee here? In that case, I'll say that this is a trick question, as he went back to live in the same house after the Scouring, and I don't believe that anyone else was living there with him.

[Inderjit S]

Andy was born in S.R 1323, Hamfast 3 years later. It is not a 'trick' question at all.

[Aulë]

Are you sure this can be found in the LotR book?
This had better not be from your copy of HoME9 ;)

[Inderjit S]

No.

[Starbrow]

Do you mean the Widow Rumble?

[Aulë]

Bloody hell!
I got myself all confused over nothing.
The Gaffer is the younger.

I guess Starbrow is up then :(

[Inderjit S]

Do you mean the Widow Rumble?

Yes.

Aule-But surely this statement "Andy was born in S.R 1323, Hamfast 3 years later." might show that Hamfast was born earlier? You seem to have noted it since you post a question a post after.

[Aulë]

Oh- I managed to confuse myself with that too :(
For some reason, my mind was fixed that the Q was about Andwise.

[Starbrow]

List all the different names that Aragorn goes by in LOTR. I came up with 9.

[Lasgalen]

[Starbrow]

WOW! Both Lasgalen and Beleg both came up with 9 names, including some I didn't have on my list. Where does Envinyator come from? Since you both came up with correct answers, I'll try to give you a tie-breaker. There is another name used for Aragorn in FotR. What is it?

[Eliot]

Originally posted by Starbrow

If there are more than one person's who got the correct answer, the person who posted first asks the next question. So, Lasgalen asks the next question. :)

[Lasgalen]

(can't remember if I asked this already. :o )How long did Sam estimate his Elven rope to be?

[Aulë]

TTT: The Taming of Sméagol
`A pity I didn't think of bringing another length,' said Frodo; `but I left the Company in such a hurry and confusion. If only we had enough we could use it to get down. How long is your rope, I wonder?'
Sam paid it out slowly, measuring it with his arms: 'Five, ten, twenty, thirty ells, more or less,' he said.

30 ells. (About 112 feet long).



What are the three titles given to Gimli son of Glóin?

[Flammifer]

Umm....

Gimli the Dwarf
Gimli Elf-friend
Gimli the Stouthearted? (Not sure about that one)

[BlackCaptain]

Aule are you allowed to just look in the book like that? hahaha Oh well, don't bother me none

[Starflower]

the third one is Lord of the Glittering Caves ( or Lord of the Caves of Aglarond , depending on the translation)


:)

Starflower
the girl with the golden hair

[Aulë]

So far, 2 of the titles have been given.

[Gary Gamgee]

is the third one Gimli son of Gloin?

[Aulë]

How could 'Gimli son of Glóin' be a title of 'Gimli son of Glóin' ? ;)
That is a name, not a title.

Still looking for a 3rd title...

[Starflower]

I've got it

Gimli the Lockbearer
cause Galadriel gave him a lock of her hair


so Elf-friend
Lockbearer
Lord of the Glittering Caves

Starflower

[Aulë]

[Aulë]

Yes, that is correct.
You had a quick change of heart there. ;)

[Starflower]

what relation to one another are Bilbo, Frodo , Merry and Pippin ?


Starflower

[Beleg]

Cousins. :p

[Starflower]

nah....too simple :p


a bit more information please, you know that hobbits consider everyone a cousin, though it might be seven times removed!

so not accepted


Starflower

[Aulë]

Balbo Baggins is Bilbo's Great Grandfather,
Frodo's Great-Great Grandfather,
and Pippin & Merry's Great-Great-Great Grandfather on their Great-Grandmother's side.

How's that? ;)

[Starflower]

novel way of describing their relationship :)


but accepted
go ahead

:)

Starflower

[Aulë]

How many 'Summerdays' are there in a year?

[Starflower]

i vote five


:)
Starflower

[Aulë]

No.
Not 5.

[Starflower]

well i still think it is, you asked how many summerdays, and there are two Yule days and three between Forelithe and Afterlithe. That's every year, but every four eyars there's an extra day, Overlithe


Starflower

[Aulë]

Nope.
:)

[Starflower]

:( and i thought i was right
i never could get the hang of the calendars though



Starflower

[Starflower]

ok
I'm not one to give up

next guess : three


Starflower

[Aulë]

Yes.
It was three

(Yule was not a Summerday ;) )

[Starflower]

*bangs head on the wall* of course it isn't !!!

silly me...


anyways...guess i have to try something now


hmm....
how many children did Morwen Steelsheen bear?


Starflower

[Beleg]

three

[Aulë]

Five?

[meneldor]

3 at first, then when thengel became king she had two more.

[Starflower]

five it is indeed :)

so I think it's only fair that Aule asks the next question :)



Starflower

[Aulë]

What did Merry's pony look like (The one he rode in Rohan)?

[Starflower]

it was a shaggy grey hill-pony




Starflower

[Aulë]

Yep.
You're up.

[Starflower]

I'm bored now :(

and still 7 hours to go ...............


*sigh*

ok

Where in Minas Tirith lies the Silent Street ?


Starflower

[Celebthôl]

Rath Dínen, the street that ran between Minas Tirith and Mindolluin, on which lay the tombs of the Kings and Stewards of Gondor.

;)

[BlackCaptain]

What he said.

Only add "7th circle" somewhere in there *prays this is a legible answer*

[Starflower]

tricky it seems.... obviously Rath Dinen is SIlent Street, so that' not really good enough , but also it's not in the 7th circle ....


hahaaa :D

so you get to try again


Starflower

[BlackCaptain]

Well what else is there to say...

it's a tunnel behind the Courtyard of/and the Tower of Ecthelion.

[meneldor]

sixth circle, only reachable by the door that is named " FEN HOLLEN ". it enventually lead to a plateau high behind minas tirith. the main avenue was called rath dinen, aka the silent street.

[Starflower]

excellent Meneldor


go ahead


:)



Starflower

[meneldor]

What were the 3 dwarvish names for the three peaks of the Misty mountains under which Moria lay?

[Eliot]

Caradhras (Redhorn), Fanuidhol (Cloudyhead), and Celebdil (Silvertine).

I'll ask my question soon.

[Eliot]

What was the Elvish name for the River Entwash?

[meneldor]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Eliot
[B]Caradhras (Redhorn), Fanuidhol (Cloudyhead), and Celebdil (Silvertine).



First those are the elvish names and in the parenthesis are the names from the race of men. I'm looking for the dwarvish names. the answer to your question is " Onodlo. " Which is Sindarin

[Anárion]

Barazinbar, Zirakzigil, and Bundushathûr. SCORE!
Speaking of Dwarves, heres another question of them:

How long did the War of the Dwarves and Orcs last?

[meneldor]

6 years from 2793 to 2799

[Anárion]

Not from the source I have...try again

[meneldor]

7

[Anárion]

Nope, that is also incorrect.

[meneldor]

2 different publications say 6 and one says 7 so i stumped.

[Anárion]

Well, I get most of my information from Encylopedia of Arda, Im not exactly sure if your getting your information out of the books or what... but try looking up EoA and you might find the answer I did...

[FoolOfATook]

Hoom.... interesting. The EoA has the dates as being Third Age 2790-2799- they use the slaying of Thror as their date for the begining of the war, which makes sense, but...

In The Tale of the Years, in Appendix B of LOTR, Tolkien writes:

2793 The War of the Dwarves and Orcs begins.

Which would seem to outrule the EoA, although the EoA is kind enough to let Tolkien's date for the end of the conflict to stand.

[Anárion]

Hmm...well, I think I read somewhere that after Thror was slain the Dwarves mustered all their forces and THEN attacked, so maybe thats when Tolkien said that the war began, but maybe in the Dwarves minds when Thror was dead, they declared war, whether the goblins/orcs knew it or not.

Either way, your correct. You can state a question when you please.

[meneldor]

Ask another one

[meneldor]

who was the dam(mother)
of Snowmane, steed of King Theoden?

[Flammifer]

Lightfoot. Question coming soon ---->

[Kirbivore]

Ok guys im new in this website but here i go.......What animal is famous in " The Hobbit" that lives in the Last Desert?

[BlackCaptain]

Flammifer's gonna ask a question soon, and it's gota be a Lord of the Rings question, not The Hobbit;)

[Kirbivore]

O man ! :) back to the books to find a really good one!

[Flammifer]

LOL Kirbivore, but first I gotta post my question.......

Sorry about the long delay guys....

OK here tis:

How, when, where and with whom did Duilin of Morthond die?

[Starflower]

He was trampled to death by Oliphaunts in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields along wiht his brother Derufin



:D :D :D :D :D :D :D


Starflower

[Flammifer]

Indeed.

Fire away, Starflower!

[Starflower]

how many ponies did Merry lose in the attack to Bree? and their names ?


:)


Starflower

[Aulë]

5: 'Sharp-ears', 'Wise-nose', 'Swish-tail', 'White Socks' and 'Bumpkin'

On the banks of which river did Freca and his people dwell?

[Starflower]

River Adorn


Starflower

[Aulë]

Yep, that's correct.

[Flammifer]

There was at the time a man named Freca, who claimed descent from King Freawine, though he had, men said, much Dunlendish blood, and was dark-haired. He grew rich and powerful, having wide lands on either sides of the Adorn.

---- LotR, Appendix A, "II, The House of Eorl"

So you are correct, Starflower.

Post your question! :)

[Flammifer]

Haha. While I was verifying your answer, Starflower, Aule verified it anyway. Sorry about that! :)

[Starflower]

well I'm flattered .. all that attention!!!

anyway here goes.

After leaving the fellowship at Part Galen, Frodo and Sam set off in a boat. Where do they land ?


Starflower

[Manveru]

Amon Lhaw?

[Starflower]

yes it is
if you can be a bit more specific I'll let you ask the next question.... :)


Starflower

[Manveru]

More specific, huh?

Are you looking for an answer like: southern bank of Amon Lhaw or sth like that?

[Starflower]

well yes that's what i was looking for, so go ahead Manveru
