LOTR Trivia (Part 2)

[Elendil3119]

Paladin Took II. 'Fraid I don't have a good question ready right now...:(

[Elendil3119]

Oops, I was too late...:D

[Lasgalen]

Fastred of Greenholm.

In what year where Fastred and Elanor married?

-Lasgalen

[Idril]

Elanor married Fastred of Greenholm in T.A.3051


Where were they married?

[Aulë]

On the Far Downs

By what name was Brytta also known?

[Idril]

he was known as treasure-giver, but I think he was also called Léofa ( I thimk it means beloved, but could be wrong) :confused:

[Aulë]

Correct

[Idril]

What are the 6 other names/terms used for Hobbits?

[Aulë]

Halflings, Periannath, Little People, Holbytlan, Hole-Dwellers, Hole-Builders?

[Idril]

You certainly have 6, but I don't think 'hole dweller' is one, anyway I was looking for Banakil, Kuduk and Little folk as well.

Go ahead, ask the next question:D

[Elendil3119]

Can I ask one? Into what three breeds were the hobbits divided before they crossed the mountains?

[Eliot]

Um, Bree-Hobbits, Bucklanders, and Shire-Hobbits. That was just a guess, I'm not really sure.

[Elendil3119]

Nope, not quite.:D I'm lookin for the three a lot earlier than those.

[Idril]

were they the Stoors, Harfoots and Fallohides?

[Elendil3119]

Good job!

[Eliot]

Remember guys, Pippin Took still has to ask his question. Let's just wait for him.

[Goldberry]

Hello Pippin Took, we really NEED a question!:)

[Aulë]

Hmmm...
Since you all seem so desperate, I'll find you one....

OK,
Which real person is Gandalf allegedly based on?

[Flame of Udûn]

C.S. Lewis?

[Aulë]

Yep

[Flame of Udûn]

What does Udûn mean?
(Didn't have time to think of anything.)
:)

[Idril]

Underworld?

[Aulë]

Isn't it Melkor's ancient fortress?

[Flame of Udûn]

You are both right, but because Idril posted first, and this is a trivia game for The Lord of the Rings, not The Silmarillion, hers is the next question.

[Idril]

Thanks Flame of Udun - you did asked for the meaning of Udun - how do you get the accents on the letters?

My proper question is: Radagast had 4 titles, what were they?:D

[Flame of Udûn]

Copy and Paste from Ardalambion. You could use any place.

[Aulë]

'The Fool', 'Bird Tamer', 'The Simple' (Insults from Saruman)
And 'The Brown'

[Flame of Udûn]

I am sure that that question has been asked before.

[Idril]

Pippin_Took's got it.

Sorry if I've repeated a question:(

[Aulë]

What are the 6 names given to the volcano in which the One Ring was forged and destroyed?

[Idril]

Amon Amarth, The Fiery Mountain, The Fire-mountain, Mount Doom, Mountain of Fire, Orodruin ?

[Aulë]

Correct

[Idril]

Gosh - I'm struggling to think of a question........

okay how about this - What is the name of the Dell in Fangorn Forest, where the Entmoot's were traditionally held?

[Eriol]

I think it's Derndingle...

[Idril]

That's it :) You're up Eriol

[Eriol]

What's the name of Farmer Maggot's lands?

[Idril]

Bamfurlong?

[Eriol]

yep, folks, it's the season for "odd-sounding names from Middle-Earth"...

You're up Idril.

[Idril]

Who sent evil spirits to inhabit the Barrow-downs?

[Eriol]

Ok, out of weird-sounding names :)

The Witch-King of Angmar.

How did the kingdom of Cardolan end?

[Aulë]

A mixture of the great plague and attacks by the Witch King

[Eriol]

That's it.

[Aulë]

What did the Elves call Tom Bombadil?

[Eriol]

Iarwain Ben-Adar

What is the meaning of this name?

[Idril]

I was about to say - Iarwain Ben-adar meaning (Oldest and Fatherless)

[Aulë]

lol
you're up Idril!

[Idril]

What 2 other names was Bombadil known by?

[Eriol]

That was funny... a good way to make amends for rushing in front of you Idril ;)

[Eliot]

Originally posted by Idril

Forn, and Orald. Is that right?

[Idril]

Yep. You're up Eliot:)

[Eliot]

What are the names of the Beacons of Gondor? When answering, name them in geographical order, starting in the east.

[Idril]

There were a chain of seven beacon-hills running between Minas Tirith and Rohan.

From east to west, they were Amon Dîn, Eilenach, Nardol, Erelas, Min-Rimmon, Calenhad and finally, on the borders of the Eastfold, the Halifirien.

[Elendil3119]

Ah, I see you use the Encyclopedia of Arda, as do I!;) :D

[Idril]

yep! - I admit it:eek: Good site though.

The scholars probably will think of it as cheating. I haven't got a question yet, give me a moment:)

[Idril]

How many times was Lorien attacked from Dol Guldur?

[Eriol]

Three (and I didn't check the Encyclopedia ;) )

By the way, I don't think it's cheating.

where did Gandalf keep his travelling luggage?

[Elendil3119]

A complete guess: The Prancing Pony?:confused:

[Eriol]

Sorry, but no.

(I can't help admitting I tried to devise a question that would foil the Encyclopedia people... *grins evilly*)

[Niniel]

I don't think he HAS travelling luggage at all:)

[Elendil3119]

Encyclopedia people indeed!:mad: I can't even find it in the books!:rolleyes: I think Niniel's right, and that he carried what he needed with him.

[Idril]

Oh 'Evil Grin' -

I have to admit, I didn't think he had any travelling luggage, but if he did, could he have left it in Rivendell?

[Idril]

Okay, I have been searching the BOOKS and found this -

"slinging his small bag which was all his luggage across his shoulders, the wizard leapt upon the horse's back" (from TTT, The palantir) :rolleyes:

[Elendil3119]

Eriol, is that right? Or are we still nowhere close?:confused:

[Elf-Archer755]

I think Idril got it right!:eek:

[LordGollum8]

I don't know that one but how old was aragorn when borimir was born

[Elendil3119]

He was 47. BTW we skipped Idril, so its his turn now.:D

[Idril]

Eriol (Evil Grin) you didn't get back to us!

Okay - By what name did Eowyn become known after the War of the Ring , by whom and why?

[Elendil3119]

After the Battle of the Pelennor fields, she was called the Lady of the Shield-arm, cause her shield arm was broken in combat with the Witch King. I think she was called that by Faramir?:confused:

[Goldberry]

Eowyn was known in the Mark as the Lady of the Shield-arm, because her shield-arm had been broken by the Witch-king on the Pelennor Field.

[Idril]

Goldberry is correct so you're up (Elendil3119, you missed - by the Mark) :)

[Goldberry]

Grip is the name of what kind of creature, and who is he affiliated with?

[Idril]

Was Grip one of farmer Maggot's dogs?

[Goldberry]

Yes, he was! Your turn, Idril.

[Idril]

What wild fantasies did Sam havewhile carrying the ring?
- he saw himself as.......???

[Elf-Archer755]

An Elf Warrior, right??? Because in TTT, after Shelob, the orcs saw it was an Elvish sword that had stabbed Shelob, and he started laughing. I could be wrong though.

[Ecthelion]

I think thats what the ORCS saw him as, but I don't think Sam saw himself as anything.

[Elendil3119]

He envisioned himself as "Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age" etc...overthrowing Barad-dur and all.:rolleyes: ;)

[Idril]

That's it!

You're up:)

[Elendil3119]

What is Gandalf's preferred drink?

[Aulë]

Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred ;)

[Elendil3119]

Haha.:rolleyes: ;) Keep on guessing and you might eventually get it right...:cool:

[Goldberry]

Beer?

[Idril]

Was it red wine ? - I recalled that from 'The Hobbit' Was it mentioned in LotRs as well?:rolleyes:

[Elendil3119]

Idril got it right. Darn, I thought I might stump ya'll for a while...:rolleyes: :D

[Idril]

Ha ha - but remember this is the LotR Trivia, not Hobbit.

Okay, lets see...... Who refered to Pippin as 'dainty'?

[Goldberry]

That was Sauron, when he saw him in the Palantir.

[Goldberry]

What did Bilbo give Lobelia at his last birthday party?

[olorin the maia]

Silver spoons.
:D

Bilbo suspected that Lobelia had 'acquired' many of his silver spoons long before, when he arrived home unexpectedly from his adventure with the dwarves, to find his hobbit hole up for sale, and the Sackville-Bagginses measuring it for their furniture!

[Elendil3119]

You're up, olorin.:)

[olorin the maia]

I'll pass for now. Please go ahead, someone. :)

[Eliot]

I'll post a question sometime soon. Just wait.

[Elendil3119]

To answer your question, was it Forlong the Fat?

[Eriol]

Which princes of Rohan fell side by side in a battle in Ithilien at T.A. 2885?

[Eriol]

By the way, sorry folks for disappearing without giving the OK to Idril's answer about Gandalf's luggage, I was lost in the glades of fair Lothlórien... but since it was correct no harm was done. She typed faster than me again(as usual ;) ), so feel free to ignore my question...

[Idril]

Welcome back oh evil grin Eriol. :p

We'll let your question stand - I'm working on your question:)

[Elendil3119]

The Elvish for flets is telain.

Although I did type it incorrectly in my previous answer, my copy of LotR says "talan". I'm not sure if that was a typo.:confused:

[Idril]

Maybe, it's the American spelling:p (don't know - will investigate further.

Eriol said:Which princes of Rohan fell side by side in a battle in Ithilien at T.A. 2885?

Fastred and Folcred, sons of King Folcwine.

(Elendil3119, I've checked the spellings of Talan and Telain and both are accepted:) )

Be back in a moment with a question.

[Idril]

Who is Aragorn's elvish ancestor - ?

[Eriol]

A self-serving question if ever there was one, my friend Idril... I suppose Nimloth is pure elvish as well. These two are the pure elves in Aragorn's ancestry.

Name three islands on the Anduin.

[Idril]

you got me!

I'll try: Cair Andros, Carrock, Tol Brandir and Tindrock?

[Eriol]

Correct. (I think Tindrock is the common name of Tol Brandir, which is Sindarin, but I'm not sure...)

Ask away.

[Idril]

You're right about Tol Brandir and Tinrock - apologies:(

'where art thou' Elendil3119? As Pippin_Took said, you're close enough:)

[Elendil3119]

Sorry its taken me soooo long...;):D Who were the two brothers of Haldir?

PS> Its becoming harder to find trivia questions that haven't been used alread. I was thinking that maybe we could sort of change the format. Like this: I would give a description, such as "brother of Gwaihir, one of the Eagles that rescued Frodo and Sam". Then you would have to tell me who it was: Landroval. Sorta like the show Jeopardy... It might make it a little more of a challenge. :) What do ya'll think?

[Aulë]

Rúmil and Orophin

[Idril]

Orophin and Rúmil.

Indeed, that is what I was referring to; You're up!
:)

btw, nice to see that you have an avatar which doesn't hurt my eyes now. ;)

[Idril]

Sorry about your eyes - I was fading away......(but I'm back now:) )

What did Imrahil consider to be the greatest jest in the history of Gondor?

[Lasgalen]

'Surely' he cried, 'this is the greatest jest in all the history of Gondor: that we should ride with seven thousands, scarce as many as the vanguard of its army in the days of its power, to assail the mountains and the impenetrable gate of the Black Land! So might a child threaten a mail-clad knight with a bow of string and green willow!'

AHHH your right I am new to the trivia games i apologize..the question then is: Where was the presence of Gollum first noted by someone besides Frodo and Gandalf?

[Manwë Súlimo]

Was it when they were floating down the Anduin, and by Sam?
