Q: Where is Everholt, and who slew the great boar there? From Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings
2804-64 13. Folca. He was a great hunter, but he vowed to chase no wild beast while there was an Orc lift in Rohan. When the last orc-hold was found and destroyed, he went to hunt the great boar of Everholt in the Firien Wood. He slew the boar but died of the tusk-wounds that it gave him.

My answer is Folca. Someone else ask another one. :)

[Ponte]

I can ask an question

Who was the first and last man that Brandir killed.

[Nóm]

Dorlas

Name the two Elves that were with Haldir when the Fellowship met them.

[Ponte]

Rúmil and Orophin

who were the last man Túrin killed?

[Grond]

Tricksy! Tricksy! You're trying to get us to say the wrong answer by being Tricksy!

The answer would be Turin. He killed himself.

[Ponte]

You are right you can post a question.

[Grond]

Who made Narsil?

[Chymaera]

Tricksy! Tricksy! You're trying to get us to say the wrong answer by being Tricksy! MY EYE!:mad:

Elvensmiths of Rivendell reforged Narsil, the answer you seek is buried in some obsure footnote that I CAN'T FIND RRRRRRRRR! :mad: :( ;)

[Grond]

Errr... Ummm... You would be correct good Chymaera. The Elven-smiths of Rivendell (likely survivors from Eregion who remained with Elrond) did reforge Narsil into Anduril.

Unfortunately, that doesn't answer the question I asked. ;) Keep digging.

[Chymaera]

Telchar

Found it 8 pages back on this thread!:D

What is the annivesery date of Frodos wounding by Shelob?

[Ponte]

13th of march.

Who was the next last man Túrin killed?

[Chymaera]

Brandir

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow? :D African or European? ;)


How did the Elvenking learn of Smaug's death?

[Grond]

The Elvenking had received news from his own messengers and from the birds that loved his folk, and already knew much of what had happened. After Sauron's fall, where was the true Elendilmir discovered? Aragorn was wearing a copy when he was crowned by Gandalf at the gates of Minas Tirith.

[Turgon]

It was found in Orthanc, in Saruman's broom-cupboard I think!?! Saruman it is speculated, found the body of Isildur while searching the Gladden Fields for the One Ring.

Question: How many days were there in an Elven year (yén)?

[Eldanor]

52.596 days (8766 "enquier" or six-days weeks)

Question: Give six names for the son of Arathorn (hope you haven't asked it yet...)

[Grond]

Let's see 1) Aragorn 2) Elessar 3) Elfstone 4) Dunedain 5) Strider and 6) Telcontar I actually think there may be more. Are these the ones you were looking for?

[Eldanor]

You have a little mistake -> it's Dúnadan, not the plural Dúnedain. But it really doesn't matter.

I didn't think on Elfstone because Elessar it's the same. There is one more name...

[Eldanor]

By the way, I wasn't thinking on Telcontar, because it's (for me) a kind of last-name, so there are two more names...

[Grond]

If that is the case... Telcontar should also be disallowed because it is merely the name Strider rendered into the high language. The other name is likely Envinyatar the Renewer. Oops... ignore my first comment as I see you've already addressed that issue. :);) Need one more name. Hmmmm???

[Grond]

How about... Thorongil! And there is also Longshanks and Stick-at-naught..(a a Bill Ferny) and Wingfoot (a la Eomer).

[Eldanor]

Very good!:) Thorongil is one of the names I meant. The other is Envinyatar, but you found two more names, so it's your turn to ask.

[Grond]

Let's see..... To what ancestor can the origins of Boromir's Horn be traced and in what activity did this ancestor engage?

[Eldanor]

To Vorondil father of Mardil, who was hunting the cows of Araw (Oromë).

Why did Rhudaur and Cardolan fight? (the obviously important reason, I don't mean a description of that conflict)

[Nóm]

Someone answer that up there...and ask an easy one ...about LOTR or Elves....so I can play!

:D

j/k


PS: where they fighting over those hills?

[Grond]

Both wanted Amon Sul and its palantir.

For Confusticated, "Who was Elrond's only daughter??" ;):):D:p

[Nóm]

I know the answer to that one is very obscure..but all the same I happen to know it. I read that part over and over until I got it, and I made a point not to forget that Elrond's daughter is Arwen. I sure do know a lot!!!:D


Who sent messages to Thingol telling all that he found out about the Kinslaying?

[Ponte]

Círdan.

Question: what was the name of the father of Eomer?

[Nóm]

PS: Eomer's wife that is

[Ponte]

Lothiriel

Question:name Eomunds wife

[Nóm]

Theodwyn?...

what is the real name of "Fatty" Bolger?

[Chymaera]

Fredegar

In FOTR who sings the song of Gil-galad?

[Ceorl]

That was easy; Sam

What was King's Ire?

[Nóm]

Thingol's sword


when orcs are coming which dwarf gets down from the tree to hep Bilbo up?

[Ceorl]

Dori

Which was the 'lake of twilight'?

[Grond]

Cuiviénen

Who is the only female dwarf mentioned in the entirety of Tolkien's writings?

[Nóm]

Dis

[Nóm]

If the above is correct...what gardens did the wine come from that enabled Bilbo and dwarves to escape the woodelves prison?

[Ceorl]

ummm Cuivienen was wrong, it was actually Lake Nenuial the source of the Baranduin River.

And the wine was from Dorwinion.

What was the name of Orome among the Sindar?

[Galdor]

Awar


Who was Roac?

[Ceorl]

umm I dont know where you get awar from, I cant find that anywhere, and it is not something I have ever heard.

Roac was the wise Raven that Thorin sent to Dain to ask him for military aid.

My question still stands.

[Grond]

Galdor meant Araw, but that is a Middle-earth term of Gondorian or Westron descent. Tauron would be Orome's Sindarin name. Interestingly close to another Ainu's name. :);)

[Ceorl]

Well Done, your question

BTW where does it say that about Araw, I had only heard the term used to describe the Kine of Araw, which was some boar or something that some guys went off and hunted

[Grond]

First, to answer your question, from Appendix A, Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I The Numenorean Kings, ii. THE REALMS IN EXILE - The Southern Line - Heirs of Anárion
...Vorondil the Hunter 2029 19
19 See III, 25. the wild white kine that were still to be found near the Sea of Rhún were said in legend to be descended from the Kine of Araw, the huntsman of the Valar, who alone of the Valar came often to Middle-earth in the Elder Days. Oromë is the High-elven form of his name(III,133).What was Faramir's symbol of office?

[Nóm]

This is all I could find: as Steward there was the seal of the stewards....that could be a symobl?..:confused: :D

The seal is elvish "Arandur"...meaning "King's Servant"

PS: what does an elvish seal sound like? Not urk urk urk urk...but...maybe eru eru eru eru? Anybody?

[Grond]

You just want me to make it easy. Symbol was a bad description.

What was Faramir's "token" of office? That description is straight out of the book. I ain't giving you any more. ;)

[Ponte]

Was it Steward?

if that is right then my question is who was the father of Imrahil of Dol-Amroth.

[Nóm]

oh, the princedom of Ithilien!..is IS easier put that way.

[Grond]

Ah c'mon people. This is right out of the book. The King has a Crown and Sceptre. What was Farmair's token of office?????? This question has not yet been answered.

[Ponte]

The chair next to the kingtrone?

[Nóm]

Was it the white rod with the golden nob?..If this is wrong I will not guess again...:o

[Grond]

from Appendix A
Nonetheless the Stewards never sat on the ancient throne; and they wore no crown, and held no sceptre. They bore a white rod only as the token of their office; and their banner was white without charge; but the royal banner had been sable, upon which was displayed a white tree in blossom beneath seven stars.As the Sceptre and Crown were tokens of the King, the White Rod had always been a token of the office of the Steward of Gondor. Correct!!!

[Nóm]

Who claims to have known the the black ships were Aragorn though no one would listen when he tried to tell them?

[Ceorl]

Pippin

What was the meaning of the name of the sword given to Thingol by Eol after it was reforged.

[Ponte]

Iron of death.

question what was the name of the father of Imrahil of Dol-Amroth?

[Nóm]

Buu are you sure? I thought it was "Iron of the Flamming Star"..I'm not sure myself though..I'll look it up later..
anyhow Imrahil's father: Adrahil

[Ponte]

Originally posted by Ceorl

Anglachel means iron of the flamming star but I got the impression that Ceorls question was what the name of the sword was after it was being reforged by the smiths of Nargothrond and after that it was called Gurthang witch means Iron of death.

Adrahil is right.

[Nóm]

Alright, you're right, I think that is what was ment by the question.

Whats the name of the pale yellow flower that grows with the pale green flower in Lothlorien among the trees?

[Galdor]

Elanor?

If right then, Where was the Pass of Aglon located?

[Elu Thingol]

Between Himlad and Lothlann, to the northeast of Beleriand.

It is said that the steeds of which race can be summoned by thought alone when there is a great love between the horse and its master.

[Nóm]

Originally posted by Galdor
Elanor?

That is incorrect...the answer is Niphredil which was discribed as being pale yellow, while Elanor was described as being golden and star shaped.

[Ceorl]

In response to Elu's question I would say Mearas

but it is Confusticated's question however as his was not answered.

[Grond]

Question:
How much wood would a wood-chuck chuck if a wood-chuck could chuck wood?

[Nóm]

That more or less depends on whether or not the wood chuck would rather chuck more or less wood.

What's the name of the pale green flower than is found in Lothlorien with Niphredil?

[Elu Thingol]

While I was traveling through Arkansas I happened to see a saw faster than any saw I ever did see saw. Now if you are traveling through Arkansas and happen to see a saw faster than the saw I did see saw, would you please tell me about the saw you saw while you were traveling through Arkansas that was faster than the saw I did see saw.

Now that is a true tounge twister. I dare any of you to master it. It was handed down through my family.

Last posted by Robert Foster in CGtME;)
In Neldoreth the Niphredil was white; in Lórien white and pale green varieties grew on Cerin Amroth.
Am I right? Or am I right, as I suspect? :p

[Nóm]

You are right

[Lantarion]

Right then. Question
Q: What is the name of the son of the King of Númenor who receives a letter from Gil-Galad?

[Ceorl]

Would it be Anardil son of Tar-Meneldur?

and if so who built a tall tower in the West of Numenor so as to gaze ever westward?

[Ponte]

Tar-Minastir.

Question: What was the Adûnaic name of Tar-Palantir.

Question:Witch one of them died first?

[Galdor]

Finwe

who was the only mariner to survive the sailing of the seven ship sent into the west after Nirnaeth Arnoediad?

[Ceorl]

Your question doesn't really make sense but I think you are asking which was the only sailor from Gondolin to have survived the journey into the west?

In which case the answer would be Voronwe.

Through which region does Earendil sail every night?

[Chymaera]

Are you looking for: Ilwë or the Seas of Heaven.

The Ents fought in the battles for the Silmarili.
Who did they fight for and, who did they fight against?

[Ceorl]

Actually the region is called Ilmen.

And from the following statement I would assume that if the Ents fought then they fought upon both sides:

The Elves alone were undivided

[Lantarion]

Q: What were the names of the two inland seas in Arda during the First Age?

[Legolas]

[Nóm]

would they be Halfred geenhand, hamfast, Sam, Frodo, and Holfast?

[Goldberry344]

What was the name of the king of the Vanyar?

[Ceorl]

[Ponte]

Because Morgoth screamed very loudly when he was attacked there by Ungoliant and Lammoth means echo and that is the echo that came frome Morgoths scream.

Question: Near witch sea did Caranthir lived for a vile?

[Ceorl]

Lake Helevorn, what was the only area of Anfauglith in which grass grew?

[Ponte]

Haud-en-Ndengin also called Haud-en-Nirnaeth.

Question: Witch fortress had in the first age been were the island of Himling was in the second and forward.

[Ceorl]

Damn Buu that is a hard one, I cant find Himling in any of my books. The closest I got was the Hill of Himring. Is this a HoME thing? At least give us a clue as to where we can find it.

[Ponte]

The name of the hill were the fortress was is in your post and that is the right answer you only have to take away the hill in the name.

[Ceorl]

umm Himring? but if so then where did you learn that it became an island? in one of the HoME books?

well if that is right then; which house of men had lordship over Dor-Lomin?

[Ponte]

The house of Hador.
I found it in the intruduction to Unfinshed tales under the part about the map of middle-earth. The island is on the map in my Unfinished tales.

Question: Who was the first human lord over Dor-Lomin?

[Galdor]

Hador Lorindol

What is the Dragon-helm of Dor-Lomin?

[Ponte]

The helm that Hador lorindol recieved frome Fingon.

Question: What was the name of the ship that Tuor sailed west with?

[Nóm]

I think I remember reading somewhere on the internet that that helm is of a dragons head, But I do not know if this is the answer you were looking for, if I am wrong please correct me, If I am right, let Buu''s question stand.

[Ponte]

Here is a quote from Narn i hin Húrin in Unfinished tales:

Upon it's crest was set in defiance a gilded image of the head of Glaurung the dragon; for it had been made soon after he first issued from the gates of Morgoth.

Perhaps it was this that you meant.

[Lantarion]

The answer to the queation is (one of the bestnames Tolkien came up with, IMHO) Eärrámë.
Q: Where was the Old Guesthouse located? (A bit vague, I'll give hints if necessary)

Bilbo was very rich and could afford to hire people to look atfter the gardens for him.

Besides the Greenhands and the Gamgees were hired on by his father Bungo after he finished building Bag End.

Bilbo was one of the major employers in the Hobbiton area.

[Lantarion]

Q:Which of the Ainur are "siblings"?

[Lantarion]

This is a trick question! Sneaky, sneaky! :D
The answer is (at least I think it is) that all of the Ainur were "siblings", because they came from the thought of Ilúvatar.
IF this is correct (if it isn't I will delete this question):
Q: What is the Dwarvish name of Mirrormere, and what is the literal meaning of the Khuzdûl words?

[gate7ole]

Kheled-zaram
and it means: "glass lake"

Q:What is the most ancient artifact made by humans that survived in the Fourth Age?

Question: What was the name of the Dwarf that became king after

[gate7ole]

Thorin Stonehelm

Q:How many Nazgul are fallen Numenorean Lords?

[Galdor]

All of them

Question: Who was Eomer's Father in-law?

[Ponte]

That is wrong Galdor, for an example there is Khamul the easterling.

I think it was three.

If that is right then my question is: What was the name of Beorns son?

[gate7ole]

You are right Buu, three of them were Numenoreans:
Murazor the Witch-king, the only female Nazgul and another one

As for your question, Beorn's son is called Grimbeorn the Old

My question:
Which other elf (or half-elf) except Luthien, Elros and Arwen chose mortality? How do we know it since it is not explicitely written anywhere?

[Galdor]

the only female Nazgul and another one

What?? Where do you get that? It says all over the place that they were all KINGS. And it says in the Tolkien commanion that they were all Numenoreans, but I forgot about Khamul the easterling so it is probly wrong. I'll look in to it.

As to your question: There are two that I know of, The sons of Elrond. And I believe that it does explicitely state that some where but I could be wrong. Tell me if I'm right and I'll think up a question.

[Ithrynluin]

Originally posted by gate7ole

Excuse me gate7ole,but where did you get these names. I am almost sure it is nowhere said that the Witch-king's name was "Murazor",let alone that one of them was female.The only name we get is "Khamul",the black Easterling (or something to that effect).

[Ithrynluin]

Galdor,we posted the same thing at the same time!:)
I assume he got the wraiths' names from some LOTR playing cards (which would be wrong IMO).

[gate7ole]

Concerning the Nazgul:
I too, didn't find these names in any book. But I recently visited the following site http://www.rockjakten.com/nazgul_html/ where I found the info. I thought that the author of the site found the names in other books that I haven't read (e.g. HOME). But again is they are wrong, then I'm sorry.

Concerning my question:
Galdor you're right. The answer you gave is correct, the sons of Elrond (Elrohir and Elladan) chose mortality, though it is not stated (at least not in Lotr and the Appentices). But it derived by the words that Elrond says to Aragorn when the latter falls in love with Arwen. He says that when he, Elrond, chooses to leave Middle-Earth then his children must also go with him or abandon the grace of Eldar (with means they become mortal as I understand it). It may be clear to many of you, but for some time I couldn't decide whether the sons of Elrond had lost their immortality.
Galdor, the next question is yours

that is talking specifically about arwen. it doesn't mean all his children. hes saying they all have the choice to go wiht him or stay. and if i can quote the encyclopedia of arda about Elladan "Like their sister Arwen, the sons of Elrond Half-elven were granted the choice of whether to leave Middle-earth for the Undying Lands, or remain there and become Mortal as Men. Elladan had such a bond with his brother that they must surely have chosen alike, but what choice they made in the end can never now be known."

its just like legolas, just because they hadn't left by the end of the book doesn't mean they didn't.

[Sam_Gamgee]

and with that, galdor had the last correct answer. and his question was "whos was eomer's father in law" and the answer is Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth, father of Lothiriel.

[Ponte]

If that is right then my question is:

No, not Gelion. Anduin is of course correct, but Gelion ias the 3rd river.
Hint: It is from the Third Age

Right

[Ceorl]

Hey where do you find that the River Running is longer than the Anduin?

I had always thought otherwise, so please tell me. Besides I have a huge wall map and when you look at it you can see that Anduin is nearly twice as long.

The Celduin River flows from the long lake to the Sea of Rhun. The Anduin flows from the Grey Mountains, all the way down to Southern Gondor. It is miles longer I am sure. If you found somewhere saying otherwise please direct me there.

[Nóm]

I don't think that he/she actually said that the river running is longer than Anduin. Just that the river running is one of the two longest rivers? If you read again and agree with this then here's the next question.

What temperarily disrupted the color of the steam Thorn Sir?

[gate7ole]

I didn't mean that Rivver Running was longer than Anduin. I just wanted the two greatest.
(taken from the Atlas of ME by Karen Wynn Fonstad)
Anduin The Great 1388
Rivver Running 835
Gelion 780
Greyflood 689
Bradywine 573
Isen 395
...

As for the Thorn Sir, I don't even know the name (and didn't find it in any of my resources)

[Nóm]

Thorn Sir is mentioned in HoME..:D

[gate7ole]

Numenor?
Or do you want the High-Elven name which is Numenore?

If this is correct:
Who was the only leader to participate in all five Wars of Beleriand?

[Lantarion]

It wasn't Fëanor, was it? Was he in the War of Wrath? Hmm, not sure..

[gate7ole]

But Feanor died as soon as he arrived at Middle Earth.
I didn't think it was such a difficult question. I help.
The 5 battles are:
-The First Battle fought against Thingol and the Green Elves of Ossiriand
-The Second battle against Feanor who had just arrived
-Dagor Aglareb, the victorious battle, against.. everyone
-Dagor Bragolath, where Morgoth broke the siege of Angmad
-Nirnaeth Arnoediad, where Morgoth defeated the elves completely.

Who do you think participated in all battles?

[Turgon]

At a guess I would say Gothmog - though I can't find evidence to place him in all of the battles. But as Morgoth's Captain it is a reasonable supposition...

[gate7ole]

Mmm, I don't know if Gothmog took part in all wars. But you're on the right side. It is much easier. Actually it was a tricky question. We know for sure that a person took part in ALL wars (maybe he didn't fight, but was giving the orders).

[Nóm]

[Chymaera]

yes, you may ask the next question Celebrien.

[Eöl]

ok who was the carrier of the red ring of fire, and who did he entrust it to?

[gate7ole]

A most favorite question, it is answered a couple of times.
Cirdan was the first owner and he entrusted it to Gandalf whom he considered greater than Saruman (and as it was proved afterwards old-Cirdan was absolutely correct)

So, my next question is about Cirdan.
Which were the (three) places where Cirdan dwelt during the 3 Ages?

[Eöl]

In chronological order:
1.the Falas (West Beleriand)
2.the Isle Of Balar
3.the Grey Havens in the Gulf of Lhun

[Chymaera]

Celebrien your answer looks good. You don't have to wait for confirmation an every answer before You ask the next question. :)

In fact I myself always try to have five or six questions on tap just in case things start to speed up. ;)

Some times the exchanges get fast and furious.:D

So when in doubt ask your next first. and we can sort out if you are right later. (from how it looks to me you shouldn't have too many problems ;) :D)

After how much time does an elf start to wear off?
(and the answer isn't never)

[Ceorl]

Huh!? what does that mean?

After how long does an Elf start to fade perhaps?

If this is what you mean then I bel;ieve you are taking a line in LoTR too literally.

When it said that the Elves will fail and fade I believe it meant that their race will deteriorate, as it had from the moment they woke, their strength fades and their prowess and skills become less. This is what it meant I think.

[gate7ole]

I've read in different places that the Elves actually DO wear off, they get tired of the long life and probably, though it is not stated, they die. But it is after a long long time. Do you know how much?

[Lantarion]

Oh no, this is one of these HoME-freak questions! :eek: :D
I have no clue, but to take a guess I'd say 10,000 years or so..

[TheFool]

I bet it's in the form of "thrice three score and three" or something like that:D and they become but a whisper, gently floating through the trees....

[gate7ole]

The right answer is about a thousand centuries (~= 100,000 years) if I remember correctly. It's a long time, since even Cirdan the eldest is about 12,000.

[Lantarion]

Wow. Think how much money Elves could get out of Human pensions!! :D :D
OK, I'll ask one:
Q: How many years from the year TA 2000 was the Balrog under Moria disturbed?

[Ceorl]

I assume you mean how long was the Balrog left undisturbed, which means that it would be;

1018 years until the company reaches moria, however if the Balrog was disturbed during the Dwarven assault on Moria, then it would have been 799 years.

[Lantarion]

Last posted by Me
Q: How many years from the year TA 2000 was the Balrog under Moria disturbed?
No, Ceorl: I meant how many years before the year TA 2000 was the Balrog disturbed. The Balrog was awoken by the Dwarves (not on purpose, I know;)) in the year TA 1980, so the correct asnwer would be: 20 years. :p

And in asnwer to your question, gate7ole: in Bree, Bill the Pony is bought with Money.
