Sorry :) Forgot that I replied here.


What name did Turin for several years before the Sack of Nargothrond in I 495?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Mormegil?

[Joy]

That will work - I was looking for Adanedhel to be specific though. ;) ;)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Right, I forgot that. :o

[Alcarillo]

There are others in English - Wild man of the Woods, Dread Helm, Bane of Glaurung, ect

[Alcarillo]

Your turn, Joy.

[Joy]

Speaking of Turin, when did he use the name Neithan?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

While he was with the Gaurwaith?

[Joy]

Can't get one by you, can I? Good job!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

:D

Name the companions of Eärendil when he sailed for Valinor.

[Alcarillo]

Falathar, Erellont, and Aerandir were their names.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

It was another trick question! There's one more name missing. :p

[Alcarillo]

Falathar, Erellont, Aerandir, and Elwing.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your thread! :)

[Alcarillo]

Yep. Your turn, Gil-Galad.

[Gil-Galad]

[Gil-Galad]

[Joy]

Making it easy this time.

Who slew 70 trolls at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad?

[Alcarillo]

Húrin!

[Joy]

You know you got it :D

I just didn't feel like trying to hunt up a tough question tonight.

[Alcarillo]

How many Eastrerling's names begin with Ul-, and what are these names?

[Gil-Galad]

Uldor the Accursed, Ulfang the black and Ulfast...good have sworen there was Ulwarth or something

[Alcarillo]

Aye, your turn, Gil.

[Gil-Galad]

Name two easterlings of Hithlum

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Lorgan and Brodda.

[Gil-Galad]

but of course, your turn

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

How many times did the army of the Eldar come within sight of the gates of Angband?

[LadyLúthien]

I'll take a guess and say one.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

It's more than one.

[Alcarillo]

Four times, perhaps? (including the War of Wrath)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Please enumerate them.

(Thread owner's prerogative. ;) )

[Alcarillo]

And whoops! I was counting times they came into sight of Thangorodrim.

They came within sight of the gates of Angband in the Dagor Aglareb, the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and the War of Wrath. The Dagor Aglareb actually says within sight of the gates of Angband, in the Nirnaeth elves got to Angaband's steps, so I assume it was within sight of the gates, and in the War of Wrath I'm also assuming some Vanyar and Noldor got within sight. Angband was destroyed in that battle, after all.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You need one more, one that happened earlier.

They were close to the gate then, surely they must see it. ;)

[Eonwe]

ehem

fingolfins host, when they cross the grinding ice? i believe it says they beat on teh doors, but noone comes out.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your turn, and welcome to the Downs. :)

[Eonwe]

Sorry for the delay; couldn't lay hands on a copy of the silmarillion.

Who was the first to openly mention the Kinslaying in Middle-earth?

[Gil-Galad]

mandos was it not

[Eonwe]

um i was thinking elf, sorry.

[mormegil]

That would be Galadriel to Melian

[Eonwe]

Galadriel it was not.

[Gil-Galad]

Maedhros?

[Eonwe]

Neither was it Maedhros. This is the first elf to openly speak of the kinslaying.

[LadyLúthien]

Was is Fëanor?

[The Perky Ent]

Fingolfin?

[Gil-Galad]

Aegnor or Angrod?

[Eonwe]

man, i hope im reading the part right. it wasn't any of these.

[The Perky Ent]

Finarfin?

[Gil-Galad]

Finrod?

[Eonwe]

it says that wispered tales went abrode about the kinslaying, but Thingol is the first to actually mention it; and since he is speaking to finrod, i'll give it you you gil-galad. carry on:)

[Gil-Galad]

alrighty then


who was tied to a tree and killed by orcs after being taken captive?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Finduilas.

[Gil-Galad]

i let Lily Bombadil choose that one, but yeah your correct as usual

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

So, who killed a son of Mîm?

[The Perky Ent]

I believe one of Turin's outlaws shot him with an arrow when he ran away. Khîm i believe it was.


EDIT ~*~*~*~*~*~

Andróg :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

:p Your turn!

[The Perky Ent]

Glad i got that in before you checked :D


What is the name the elves called an ent?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Enyd?

[The Perky Ent]

Nope :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Shepherd of the Trees?

[The Perky Ent]

Snope

[Dimturiel]

Onodrim?

[The Perky Ent]

Nope :D

[Telchar]

Onod = An ent

(Enyd is plural, that is "ents". Onodrim is the name for the race ents... For comparison, A man, Men and Mankind)

[The Perky Ent]

:D exactly! Your go Telchar!

[Telchar]

Name ALL those who died directly or indirectly as a result of Turins quest to slay Glaurung.
(From Glaurung came to Cabed-en-Aras until Turin himself died)

[Dimcollowen]

ummm....wow.....i really don't know.... :(

[Dimturiel]

The ones that died are: Hunthor, Nienor, Brandir and Dorlas, right?

[Telchar]

That is correct + of course the hero and the dragon ;) your turn...

[Dimturiel]

Who was the one that sugessted that Felagund should give his crown to a steward when he left with Beren?

[Telchar]

Maybe Gelmir? Maybe someone related to him?

[Dimturiel]

Nope, not Gelmir and, as far as I know, the peson I want is not related to him.

[Hiriel]

I think that was an elf called Edrahil.

[Dimturiel]

Yep, that's the one!

[Hiriel]

Cool.

Who of Brethil made the song that proclaimed the Stone of the Hapless would never be thrown down or taken by Morgoth, as actually did happen?

[NightKnight]

It was Glirhuin.

[Hiriel]

Indeed it was. Well done. :)

[NightKnight]

Thank you.

Who was the wife of Brodda?

[Dimturiel]

Her name was Aerin, wasn't it?

[NightKnight]

It was indeed. Your turn, Dimturiel.

[Dimturiel]

What was the name that Aredhel gave to her son and what does it mean? A bit easy, I know but I cannot think of anything else at the moment.

[Telchar]

She called him Lómion which is 'Child of Twilight'. The name is Noldorin, and was therefore keept secret from the childs father.

[Dimturiel]

That was fast! Very good, the thread is yours.

[Telchar]

Barahir and his stout men tarried around a lake. What was special about that lake and what was it's name?

[The Perky Ent]

I think it was called Tarn Aeluin, and Melain hallowed it

[Telchar]

Precisely - you're up... :)

[Eonwe]

Perky?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

(Perks last posted here 9-15, so it's 10 days, right?)

Name all kills of Anglachel/Gurthang in Túrin's hands (in chronological order).

Well, not all, you don't have to include the Orcs. Just those with names, perhaps.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Anyone?

[Dimturiel]

All the kills of Gurthang in Turin's hands: Brodda(and other Easterlings from his hall), Glaurung, Brandir and Turin himself. I do hope I have not forgotten anyone.

[mormegil]

You forgot Beleg, though I think you deserve the thread if we are correct

[Dimturiel]

You forgot Beleg Now would be the perfect moment to dig a very deep whole in the ground and spend the rest of my life there :o. Indeed, I left out Beleg :eek:.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You both got it. :cool:

But since morm said Dimturiel could have it, the thread is hers.

Take the floor. :)

[Dimturiel]

Thank you.
Who was the wife of Turgon and what happened to her?

[Eonwe]

Elenwe was the wife if turgon and she died crossing teh grinding ice.

[Dimturiel]

That's right. Go ahead.

[Eonwe]

why thank you.

who was in the second party to enter menegroth?

[Eonwe]

anyone?

ps. i guess i should ahve said "party of men". sorry

[Dimturiel]

Was it Turin, Gethron and Grithnir?

[Eonwe]

correct, sorry about not being clear. :o

please carry on!

[Dimturiel]

Thank you. Which son of Finarfin was slain at the battle of Tumhalad?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Orodreth

[Dimturiel]

Yes, that's right. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Who was the first Edain to take service with one of the Noldor ?

[Gil-Galad]

Beor the Old?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thats right.

I am glad to see that you have not forsaken the Quiz Room.

[Gil-Galad]

who lived on Amon Obel?

[Hiriel]

I think that would be Turin.

[Gil-Galad]

not what i'm thinking of

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Mim

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The Haladin ?

I belive there settelment was called Ephel Brandir.

[Gwyn ap Nudd]

Did you mean Brandir, himself - the Lord of the Haladin?

[Gil-Galad]

nope, Rune was close and welcome Gwyn Ap Nudd

[Telchar]

"The men of Brethil"?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Gil?

[Gil-Galad]

close Telchar, very close but no

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Folk of Haleth ?

[Gil-Galad]

close, try again

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

this close <-> ?

if so, the answer must be The People of Haleth

[Gil-Galad]

try again

[Lindolirian]

Hardang, the Halad.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

This is the only one I can remember: Halethrim

[Gil-Galad]

Rune gots it

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Finaly. . .

Give me the names of the people who possesed the Dragon-helm (of Dor-lómin)

[Beleg]

The House of Hador

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

my foult. . .

Give me the names of the persons who possesed the Dragon-helm (of Dor-lómin)

[Beleg]

Azaghâl, Maedhros, Fingon, Hador, Galdor, Hurin and Turin

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

thats right, your turn.

I would allso have accepted it if Telchar had been added as he made the thing. I would allso have accepted if Hurin had been left out as he never used it. (He must have possesed it as it was an heirloom of the House of Hador)

[Beleg]

My first one.

Name of the refuge of Turin and Beleg (with Mîm)

[Telchar]

Bar-en-danwedh

[Beleg]

It is one of the names indeed, but not the one I'm thinking of.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The House of Ransom ?

[Beleg]

Nope. I would have accepted Telcar's answer otherwise. :cool:

[Telchar]

Are you thinking of Bar-en-Nibin-noeg?
That would be wrong anyway.

[Beleg]

It is not. Do you need a hint?

[Dimturiel]

Is it Dor-Cuarthol, Land of Bow and Helm?

[Beleg]

Sorry no, but I believe you're quite close. It is a name given by Turin and his folks to this place.

[Dimturiel]

Then it has to be Echad i Sedryn, Camp of the Faithful.

[Beleg]

It is indeed.

[Dimturiel]

Who were the Men that entered Gondolin and how did they get there?

[Eonwe]

Hurin and Huor, by eagle.

[Lindolirian]

As well as Tuor led by Voronwe through the Orfalch Echor.

[Dimturiel]

Well, you are both right. So either of you who gets here first can have it.

[Eonwe]

ooo, good catch Lindolirian!

here is another easy one. who taught teh telari the craft fo ship-building .

[Valier]

I think it was Osse?

[Telchar]

I thought this was First Age Trivia ;)

[Eonwe]

erm...you might be right. i get to thinking everything in teh Silmarillion is first age. sorry!

but of course, Valier is correct.

[Valier]

Ok how bout' what were the last words spoken by Huan the hound ere he died?

[Telchar]

Maybe: -"Could you scratz my ear and pass me another bone?"

[Valier]

Nice try but....no try again:)

[Eonwe]

um farewell, i believe. the silmarillion doesn't give an actualy quote, though...just says he said farewell and died.

[Valier]

Actually your right! I thought they did tell what he said, but they don't so your turn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Eonwe?

[Valier]

I will start another one,for I like this tread!

What was the Goal Ulmo set to Tuor as he stood upon the shores of Nevrast?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

To bring his message to Turgon?

[Valier]

Yes and see the hidden city! Your turn!!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Who died and made Fëanor king?

(Too easy, I know. Sorry. :o )

[NightKnight]

Finwë! Though that wasn't in the First Age. ;)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

But whose age are we talking about? ;)

You got the thread. :cool:

[NightKnight]

Thanks.

Who (or what) killed Edrahil?

[Lindolirian]

A werewolf of Sauron.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

My guess would be a werewolf

[NightKnight]

It was indeed a werewolf. Sorry Rune, but Lindo got it first. Lindo, please take the thread. :)

[Lindolirian]

Who searched for Elrond's uncles in the woods?

[Gil-Galad]

Maedhros i beleive... or else somebody else... perhaps Maglor

[Lindolirian]

Maedhros it was.

[Gil-Galad]

oh fun...hmmm...bah i'll get back to you with a question

[Beleg]

please a question, it's the only quizz I'm good at. :D

[Gil-Galad]

fine...


Name those that never came

[Beleg]

The Avari?

[Gil-Galad]

nope guess again

[Beleg]

humm...Umanyar?

[Gil-Galad]

yeah your turn beleg

[Beleg]

Who are the two Elves that came to Nargothrond to warn Orodreth?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It was Gelmir and Arminas of Angrods people, but they had lived with Cirdan since Dagor Bragollach.

[Beleg]

It is. Your turn I guess..

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

What was the chief heirloom of the house of Hador and who made it?

[Beleg]

Is it not the Dragon's Helm of Dor-lomin which belonged to Maedhros?

(again, as I remember this question :) )

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Yes it was the Dragon Helm, but who made it ?

[Gil-Galad]

Felagund i beleive... oh Telchar... or the Petty Dwarves

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Was that a stream of consciousness gil ?

Anyway Telchar is the right answer, your turn.

[Gil-Galad]

perhaps


list what the Smithie Telchar created with original names

[Elu Ancalime]

Angrist
Narsil
Dragon Helm Dor-lomin
________
Volcano classic review (http://vaporizer.org/reviews/volcano)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Gil?

[Gil-Galad]

but of course Elu, your go

[Thinlómien]

Elu?

[Elu Ancalime]

Where did Sauron flee after his defeat after the loss of his Isle?
________
JAGUAR MARK V HISTORY (http://www.ford-wiki.com/wiki/Jaguar_Mark_V)

[Valier]

Avathar?

[Thinlómien]

Angband?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

He flew to Taur-nu-Fuin, I believe.

[Elu Ancalime]

Correct, Nilp
________

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

:)

When was the year of Lamentation? I need a number. ;)

[Elu Ancalime]

Ahh, pfff...<goes to look through 20 Questions thread>
________
Weed Vaporizer (http://weedvaporizers.info/)

[Dimturiel]

I think it was 471, wasn't it?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You're close, though.

[Thalion]

year 472: Turn leaves for Doriath in the autumn of this year

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Still wrong. This one is closer, though.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

473?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your turn. :smokin:

[Tuor of Gondolin]

In what ways, and by whom, was
the Annon-in-Gelydh important
in the history of Beleriand?

[Valier]

uuummm Tuor found it on his way to Nevrast.It is called the gate of the Noldor. Turgon's people built it when they dwelt there. It led Tuor to the dark tunnel, where his trail was unmarked.:)

I'm not sure if that was what you were looking for...if not, please be a bit more specific.;)

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Almost there. Any specific elves using it
in Tuor's time? And why did they use it?

[Valier]

was it Gwindor? He was bringing Tuor there?

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Nope. It involves two elves on a seperate mission of their
own who providentially meet and help Tuor. But what's
their mission and who are they?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

They were Gelmir and Arminas, formerly of the house of Finarfin, then stayed with Cirdan at Balar after the destruction of the domain of Angrod and Aegnor. They passed through the gate to bring a message to Nargothrond from Ulmo.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Correct. of course, it may be up to
the vala to decide who's turn it is,

Nilpaurion Felagund or Valier .

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Valier can have the thread. :)

[Valier]

Why thank you very much Nilp! Ok Where did Turin Turambar die and what was written on his grave stone?

[Thinlómien]

He died near Cabed-en-Aras and in his grave was carved "Túrin Turambar Dagnir Glaurunga".

[Valier]

Exactly correct Thinlomien! Take it away....:)

[Thinlómien]

I know I'm boring, but

Who was Eilinel?

[Valier]

I know this one! She was the wife of Gorlim the unhappy. He would do whatever Sauron wanted to free his wife from thralldom, but alas she was already dead.

[Thinlómien]

Correct, Valier!

[Valier]

Thanks Lommy!!!:D :)

what is the name of Turgon's sister and what was she called?

[Gil-Galad]

Turgon of Gondolin i persume, well her name was Aredhel which means Noble Elf... though she is also called the White Lady

[Valier]

Correct Gil-Galad!!! Your turn....:D

[Gil-Galad]

Other one of the Septenary


hope its good...

[Valier]

Ummm I'm not so sure as to what you want.....Septenary is a base 7 numeral system, so are you looking for another system?


Edit:Perhaps...The lamed and the hanged man?

[Gil-Galad]

Its cryptic, you gotta work around it

[Gil-Galad]

Hint: Other Head of Seven

[Thinlómien]

Maglor?

Though I think I'm a waaaaaaaaaaay off... :rolleyes:

[Gil-Galad]

sort of way off... but sort of close too.

[Gil-Galad]

MAJOR HINT: think of the number seven

[Valier]

Ok so would it be the dwarves who got the seven rings....How bout Durin the deathless? Am I even on the right path?

[Gil-Galad]

not really no... what else involves seven?


also Seven rings of the dwarves would be second age

[Valier]

Ok Gil......help us out:D

[Gil-Galad]

*sigh* i can't say no to that Epileptic/seizure-induced Kitty of yours...


well again think seven, if i say its a person then that will give a big hint...

[Macalaure]

Seven Gates of Gondolin?
Seven Rivers of Ossiriand?

Denethor, maybe? :confused:

[Gil-Galad]

but why? and no those all wrong... and i don't see how the seven gates and seven rivers are a person...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I know you said they were wrong, but if it was the seven gates of Gondolin then Elemmakil would be a guess.

[Gil-Galad]

its funny cause your all missing the obvious seven

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

then there is the seven Palantíri. . . but I got no idea what the answer would be :rolleyes:

[Gil-Galad]

Its a person... so there would be no use of guessing non-living things.

[Valier]

How bout Oin?

[Gil-Galad]

how about sorry nope...
