LOTR Trivia

[Starbrow]

It's Linhir. Luckily, I'm rereading LOTR and I just read that passage last night.

 

[Starbrow]

I assume I can ask the question without the official go ahead.

What is westman's weed more commonly known as?

 

[Firawyn]

Longbottom Leaf?

 

[Bucky]

pipeweed.....

 

[Starflower]

Yeah, sorry Starbrow - you are of course correct!

 

[Starbrow]

Since Longbottom Leaf is a variety of pipeweed, the answer I was expecting, I'll give it to Fir.

 

[Firawyn]

Okay....****...I think it's almost harder to think of a question than it is to think of an answer...

How many days passed between Frodo and Co. leaving The Shire, to the date they arrive in Rivendell?


Fairly easy, but go for it anyway. :*)

 

[Eru Ilúvatar]

27 days.

(TA September 23, 3018-TA October 20, 3018)

 

[Firawyn]

Well done...and welcome to TTF while I'm at it. :*)

Go ahead Eru Ilúvatar (Can we call you Eru for short?), post the next question.

 

[Eru Ilúvatar]

Thank you Firawyn. Here goes...

Other than the descendents of Melian the Maia, what LOTR character is descended from a being that exisited before coming to Arda?

 

[camlost]

I'll have to say Shelob descended from Ungoliant.

 

[Eru Ilúvatar]

Correct camlost! Your turn.

 

[camlost]

This is probably a very easy question -- name the the 3 towns of Bree-land and give their location relative to Bree.

 

[Eru Ilúvatar]

They are all just east of Bree. From north to south they are: Archet, Combe, Staddle.

 

[camlost]

That works for me!

 

[Eru Ilúvatar]

Where did Frodo live before Bag End?

 

[spirit]

Brandywine Hall....

 

[Eru Ilúvatar]

I believe just Brandy Hall...but close enough Go ahead.

 

[spirit]

Can't think of anything special right now, and I'm technically not allowed to be distracted *gulp*

So:

Whose line is this, and what (place & being) are they referring to: "Wonder of the Northern world! Too deep we delved there, and woke the nameless fear"

 

[Starbrow]

I think Gimli said it. He is referring to awaking the Balrog in Moria because they were mining for mithril.
