First Age Trivia

[Valier]

How 'bout Ostoher the 7th King of Gondor?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I know that there was only 6 High Kings of the Noldor, but if you count Maedhros there would be 7! The other would then be Fëanor

[Gil-Galad]

nope, super clsoe though Rune, go back to the fist clue though, 'other'

[Macalaure]

Another wild guess: Nerdanel? :rolleyes:

[Gil-Galad]

not wild at all, bang on! your turn.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Finarfin ?

[Gil-Galad]

Sorry my dear Rune, macalaure already answered correctly

[Macalaure]

Thank you! :)

Who were the only two Sindar who, most probably, once used Quenya - after Thingol's ban?

I want names and occasion.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

do they have to be of pure Sindar origin?

[Macalaure]

Yes, they do.

[Gil-Galad]

question confuses me but i'll go for the obvious, Celeborn and Galadriel?

[Macalaure]

No, unfortunately. And since when is Galadriel one of the Sindar? ;)

I'll try to clarify: After he found out about the kinslaying Thingol banned Quenya from his realm and forbade its usage to all Sindar. Yet, even after it, there are two Sindar who, in all probability, dared to speak Quenya at one specific point of time.

[Anguirel]

Eol and Maeglin before Turgon?

EDIT: In the unlikely event that I'm right, let someone else ask a question...I'll have disappeared...

[Macalaure]

Don't worry, Ang, you are not right. ;)

Maeglin is half a Noldo, and I cannot imagine Eöl ever uttered one word of the kinslayers' tongue.


Mmm, seems like it's more difficult than I thought. If nobody has the right answer tomorrow, I'll give a hint.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

even better, give it now! The only thing I could come up with yesterday was Eol and Maeglin and they turned out wrong. (What I already guessed they would be, especialy since Maeglin is half Noldor)

[Macalaure]

Hint: We know exactly what they said. They both say the same three words.

[Macalaure]

Still nobody?

And I thought that hint was too obvious, already. :(

What I meant by underlining 'exactly' is that we not only know it was said in Quenya, but we actually know the exact Quenya wording.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Beleg and Mablung could have said "Auta i lómë" at the Nirnarth Arnoediad. . . (it is quenya right?)

[Macalaure]

It is Quenya. The Silm says, that all that heard Fingon's welcome to Turgon answered by it. So, unless Beleg and Mablung have been sitting on their ears, they said it.

Your thread, Rune.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Would somebody else care to take over for me as I am going away for a week, from Saturday morning ?

[Gil-Galad]

i will be honoured my friend

[Gil-Galad]

Name the place that is similar to "door of water"

[Macalaure]

I guess it's wrong, but since nobody else wants to try:

Gates of Sirion?

[Valier]

or..... Annon-in-Gelydh? or Sirannon?

[Gil-Galad]

Valier as it! your turn

[Valier]

Really!!!!????? I got one? :rolleyes: Awesome!!!! :D It will take me a little bit to come up with one, but I shall return!

Oh and Gil.....which one was it?

[Valier]

I'm hoping this is First Age.....

Who shouted "Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië! ar Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë!" and what and who shouted back?


I know it's a long one, but I haven't been able to go for awhile:D

[Gil-Galad]

Beren perhaps?

oh and it was Sirannon

[Dimturiel]

Fingon shouted that and all those that heard him answered back shouting: Auta i lome!" (" The night is passing!")

[Valier]

YAAA!!! Your go Dimturiel:)

[Dimturiel]

Why, thank you. :cool:

Name the Men that were alowed to enter Gondolin.

[Valier]

Húrin and Huor?

[Macalaure]

...and Tuor.

[Dimturiel]

Well, you're both right. So the first of you that gets here can ask the next question.

[Macalaure]

Alright, if Valier doesn't want to, I will.

Odd sword out:

Anguirel
Glamdring
Gurthang
Orcrist

[Macalaure]

Nobody? Not one guess? :(
I won't give a hint unless I get a guess, no matter how wild.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Gurthang was the only sword wich was never in Gondolin

[Macalaure]

Correct, of course.

Go ahead!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

and to think that I was about to say that it was because Gurthang was the only one reforged. . . . good thing I changed my mind.

Wich grave is said to have survived the destruction of Beleriand.

(The grave was in Beleriand of course)

I know it kind of goes into the second age and are not realy a good question, but my mind does not work to day.

[Lindolirian]

Morwen's grave.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

yup

Good to see you again Lindolirian

[Lindolirian]

Right-o then, Rune!

What was the Cum nan Arasaith?

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

The Mound of Avarice, if memory serves.

[Lindolirian]

Fine job, hit us with another.

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

What is the oldest heirlom of Men?

[Tarpaladin]

The sceptre of the northen kingdom of Arnor, formerly the sceptre of the Lords of Anadunie of Numenore.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I would think that it was The Ring of Barahir

[Macalaure]

Either that or the Dragonhelm of Dor-lómin, I think.

[Gil-Galad]

Didn't Beor have a staff or something...

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Rune Son of Bjarne has it right - it was the Ring of Barahir.

Your thread :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks for the thread. . .

Who met his ending at the Caragdûr ?

(Not the best of questions)

[Valier]

Was it Eol?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

yup. . .take it away thou kitten one

[Valier]

On what day did the Nirnaeth Arnoediad begin?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

On what day did the Nirnaeth Arnoediad begin? I don't know of any exact date. is it then midsummer F.A. 472, But on the other hand I also have the Spring 471 F.A. But agian no exact day for it. :confused:

[Valier]

What day of the battle did it begin is what I am looking for.

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

in the spring of 471 First Age, on Midsummer's Day, I do believe.

[Valier]

I am looking for a specific day.......How many days of battle went by before this day?

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Oh, I think I see what you're asking. It was the fourth day of the war that the Nirnaeth officially began - before I thought you just wanted the start of the war in general.

[Valier]

Your correct!!! It was the fourth day. The thread is yours Celebriel. :D

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

All right :D

edit - i just realized my question was very close to a previous one I had not seen.

New question :

Who was called the Club-foot?

[Dimturiel]

He was Sador, Hurin's servant and Turin's friend.

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Not quite the one I am looking for, however he is connected to Turin.

[Thinlómien]

Brandir then, by any chance?

[Tarpaladin]

Rune Son of Bjarne has it right - it was the Ring of Barahir.

Your thread :D


The question was for the oldest heirloom of Men, wasn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Ring of Barahir was forged by an Elven craftsman, not a Man. It was then given to Beren by Finrod Felagund I think, to pass down all the generations before arriving with Aragorn. Been a while since I read The Silmarillion, but I think that's correct.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

yes it was made by elves, but never an elven heirloom. It was given to men and became an heirloom in their house.

I am quite sure that the definition "heirloom of men" fits the Ring of Barahir.

[Tarpaladin]

I'll wind my neck in then. :D

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Very good point, Tarpaladin, I thought the same way until recently when I discovered otherwise on another forum :)

Anyways, Thinlomien now has the thread -the answer I sought was indeed Brandir.

Sorry for the delay! I went home for the weekend and didn't have any internet access.

[Thinlómien]

Which son(s) of Fëanor died first?

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

this is just off the top of my head, but was it Celegorm? Either him or the twins, methinks. It's been several years since I last read the Sil, so my memory's hazy at best when I don't take the time to look something up.

[Beleg Cuthalion]

I'm going to go for Celegorm, Caranthir and Curufin. died F.A. 507


-Beleg

[Thinlómien]

You're correct, Beleg.

Sorry for being a few days late, but I was unsure of the answer myself and always forgot to check it. :o :)

[Tarpaladin]

Nice sig btw Beleg. An old Civil War song isn't it?

[Gil-Galad]

Nice sig btw Beleg. An old Civil War song isn't it?

your thinking of the drummer boy

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

His sig is from The Mistrel Boy. I love the Minstrel Boy! Celtic song/tune originally, last I remember. Most notably it's used in the Black Hawk Down soundtrack; it plays during the credits.

Anyways...just had to rave about that song...

[mormegil]

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/images/chatskwerl.jpg

Remember keep it on topic.

[Valier]

Beleg? It's your turn!! :D

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Whoa! Sorry, I completely forgot about this! :o Umm… Let’s see The chain with which Melkor was wrapped with, was made by Aulë and the chain consisted of six different metals ( copper, silver, tin, lead, iron and gold ) The metal that he had blended of these he called what?

I'm very pleased that you all like my sig. :)

If anyone want's to here the song from BHD you can listen to it here

The Minstrel Boy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdVN1P16L8o)

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Angainor was made of Tilkal, I believe. Good question! :)

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Angainor was made of Tilkal, I believe. Good question! :)

Thanks, and yes of course your right.

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

On the same note then:

What was the name of the manacles used to chain Melkor?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

On the same note then:

What was the name of the manacles used to chain Melkor?


Another good one http://webpages.charter.net/connectingzone/agree/8.gif A:Vorotemnar, Those that binds forever.

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Correct, of course :D Take it away!

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Eol wore armor made of a special metal that he crated, what was the name of this metal?

[Thinlómien]

Galvorn, right?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Galvorn, right?

Ten four.

[Valier]

Lommy?!!! :p ;)

[Thinlómien]

Thanks for reminding me, Valier. :)

What was the name of the Elven maid who looked after Túrin in Doriath?

[Gothmog]

Nellas?

[Thinlómien]

Indeed.

I'm glad to see you around again, Gothmog, though I'm not that delighted of the sight of the text in your avvie, or actually rather the language it's in... ;) :D

[Gothmog]

Thank you, Queen of Penguins. I'm coming and going, as always... And at least you understood the meaning of the text in my avvie! I know that you, deep down in your heart, love the beautiful language of Sweden;) Is it not time to take up the swedish lessons again? ;) :D

Enough of that, I know you're all waiting to hear the next question. And ladies and gentlemen, here it is:

What was the name of the bow that gave name to "Dor-Cúarthol"?

The owner is one of my personal favourites...

[The Might]

Belthronding

[Gothmog]

Correct, of course. The Downs seem to have a new Quiz champion!

The thread is yours.

[The Might]

When was Gondolin completed?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Only because I am not using the same amount of time on the BD as I used to, Gothmog :smokin:


Gondolin was completed in the year 126 of the first age.

[The Might]

indeed...:p

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

lets continue with these kind of questions. . .

when was Nargothrond founded?

[Valier]

When fifty years of the sun had passed?

[The Might]

100 First Age

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Yes it is in the year 100 of the first age. . .so unless the sun did not apear until the year 50, TM gets the thread.

[The Might]

well, since the Sun rose at the beginning of the First Age, it would mean it was 100 years of the sun until Nargothrond was completed

new one:

What is the name of the lake near Mount Rerir?

[Valier]

Are you looking for lake Helevorn?

[The Might]

yes ;)

[Valier]

Who is the eldest son of Bëor the Old?

[The Might]

Baran I believe

[Valier]

Correct!! :D

[The Might]

very well, new one:

Which of the outlaws was asked to break his bow by Mim the Dwarf?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

very well, new one:

Which of the outlaws was asked to break his bow by Mim the Dwarf?

Andrόg

[The Might]

correct :)

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Btw, Great question. Looks like we'll have some fun here.

Who were the two tallest children Iluvatar?

[The Might]

Turgon and Thingol I believe

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Turgon and Thingol I believe You got it. :smokin:

[The Might]

nice...
What did the name given by Gwindor to Finduilas mean ?

[Valier]

Faelivrin- The glean of the sun on the pools of Ivrin

[The Might]

yes :)

[Valier]

Who said..."You have my leave, but not my love"

[The Might]

Curufin :)

[Valier]

Correct Might!!! :D

[The Might]

How many times did Fingolfin wound Morgoth ?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

How many times did Fingolfin wound Morgoth ? Off the top of my head... 7 wasn't it? Or maybe 8 including the last one. Looks like I'm going to have to get my book.

[The Might]

yep 8
I hoped to make it tricky because as he died he managed to stab Melkor with Ringil in the foot

[Beleg Cuthalion]

yep 8
I hoped to make it tricky because as he died he managed to stab Melkor with Ringil in the foot

It was a really good one I just remember numbers well. I don't think mine is quite as good, but I can't think of anything better right now.

Who in the first age besides Beren lost his hand?

[The Might]

I like it...
Let's see, I'd say Maedhros

poor Fingon, but there was no other way :(

[Beleg Cuthalion]

I like it...
Let's see, I'd say Maedhros

poor Fingon, but there was no other way :( Such is war... but he than of course he did become an even more deadly swordsman with his left hand after that. http://webpages.charter.net/connectingzone/armed/30.gif


Oh yeaaah you got (I bet you knew that already though)

[The Might]

nice smiley btw :D

a little harder this one perhaps:

What emblem did Tuor's shield have?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

nice smiley btw :D

a little harder this one perhaps:

What emblem did Tuor's shield have?Perhaps... A white swans wing on a feild of blue.

And about the smily... I thought it looked close to the point. :D

[The Might]

hmm...you're correct, I must try harder when it comes to questions

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Thier good questions, it's just that they are from the one of the books that I read the most. Mine: What was Glamdring's scabbard made out of?

[The Might]

ivory...

too bad your question is from UT, my personal favourite, though I usually only read the 3 and 4 parts of the UT

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Yeah too bad, try this one on for size. What was the name of the leader of the Warriors of Gondolin clad in tassels of silver and gold, bearing the emblem of the Harp?

[The Might]

easy one

Salgant :eek:

[Beleg Cuthalion]

easy one

Salgant :eek:

Yeaaaaah... next one will be harder.

Btw this is great, I haven't played Q and T like this for over a year. :cool:

[The Might]

lol...I think I will take that as a compliment...

Earendil's ship was built with wood from trees from...???

btw, I always hated Salgant for hiding like a coward instead of fighting alongside his men

[Beleg Cuthalion]

lol...I think I will take that as a compliment...

Earendil's ship was built with wood from trees from...???

btw, I always hated Salgant for hiding like a coward instead of fighting alongside his men Gee I don't remember that. I guess it's been to long since I read the HOME (As I don't own them) Btw white timber from the beech woods of Nimbrethil

[The Might]

yep, Nimbrethil it is

I am enjoying the trivia as well, always liked quizzes

the harder they are, the more I enjoy answering them (correctly)

not finding the answer usually drives into more and more study of the books, and eventually I either find the answer or someone beats me to it...:)

[Beleg Cuthalion]

[The Might]

Dragon of the Sea...it is a monster one...

I really dunno...could it be a metaphor for Osse ?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Dragon of the Sea...it is a monster one...

I really dunno...could it be a metaphor for Osse ? To tell you the truth, I don't know. This question came up in a tivia contest I was in and I never found out what it was although there is a important historical archive where information about the dragon of the sea could be found.(don't know what this is) I thought you might know.

I guess I'll ask the guy.

[The Might]

I recently read an article called "Dragons and Tolkien" and there several others were mentioned including the dragons from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and from Farmer Giles of Ham, and dragons from his earlier works...
Dragons appear in his books as soon as in the Book of the Lost Tales, they are however not named...

I personally was quite surprised to see this question pop up...and since I couldn't think of any dragon I knew I thought it is a metaphor for a ship or a dweller of the Sea. But since no ship I knew could qualify I though of Osse since due to his let's say...temper, he could be associated with a dragon, and would most surely be feared especially by mariners

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Yeah I don't know what to say, I'll ask the guy how did the question and let you know. Sooo try this one: What Beleriand escarpment ran 350 miles between Falas and Amon Ereb?

[The Might]

It could onyl be:
*drum roll*

ANDRAM :D

btw, I didn't know how long it was, new info :)

[Beleg Cuthalion]

I... really? I can see your much more well read than I on this subject. Your go then.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Did you think it was something else or did you just ask a question you did not know the answer of?

[The Might]

lol...no matter

new question:

What is the name of the forest located westward of the sources of the Narog ?

btw, the answer you might have been looking for might have been the Long Wall, which is another name for Andram

[Valier]

Birchwoods of Nimbrethil?

[The Might]

no...those woods are in Arvenien, on the northern shore of the Bay of Balar

[Valier]

on my map it is southwest of the river..... Maybe Nan-Tathren?

[The Might]

it is near Narog, but too far south

[Valier]

Taur Im Duinath?

[The Might]

nope...
SOUTH = bad
NORTH = good

[Valier]

ummmmmmm the forest of Brethil?

[The Might]

ummmmm no

ok, I'll give you a hint: forget the Sil ;)

[Valier]

ummmm Forget the Sil? Wouldn't that river only be named that in the Sil? All other maps are different. The river Norog flows from Irvin to the mouth of Sirion.

[The Might]

not quite...the UT name it Narog as well ;)

[Valier]

uuuum Fangorn then?

[The Might]

Fangorn...was not even in Beleriand

[Valier]

*sigh* Ok I give up on this one. :p

[The Might]

ok, I know it's a hard one

The woods of Nuath are mentioned during Tuor's journey together with Voronwe to Gondolin

How many tributaries did the river Gelion have ?

[Valier]

10? I counted Tol Galen, and where it splits into little Gellon, greater Gellon and lake Helevorn

[The Might]

nope...

some hints:
1. Tol Galen is an island, not a river
2. Gelion is formed after Little Gelion and Greater Gelion meet

[Valier]

So 6 then?

[The Might]

yes, this is where the name of Ossiriand comes from, The Land of the Seven Rivers (Gelion + 6)

[Valier]

What kind of Elf was Voronwe's mother?

[The Might]

his mother was of the Grey-Elves in Falas and akin of Cirdan

[Valier]

Correct!!!

[The Might]

Whom did Tuor cut the legs during the Fall of Gondolin ?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Whom did Tuor cut the legs during the Fall of Gondolin ?

Hmm... A dragon?

[The Might]

nope

[Gil-Galad]

Maeglin then... i know he threw him off the side of the walls

[The Might]

no, he actually cut this guys feet with his axe...

[Beleg Cuthalion]

no, he actually cut this guys feet with his axe...

This question seems rather complex, or else I need to get the HOME. In the fall of Gondolin from the Book of Lost Tales 2: The Fall of Gondolin. It says "Tour. Ecthelion was wounded in the arm, and dropped his shield, and he must lean on Tuor, who could not leave him, even as the trampling feet of the dragon of fire passed overhead, and it seemed as if they would be crushed. Tuor hewed at the foot of the monster, and flame sprouted forth, and it screamed and lashed with
its tail, slaying many, Orcs and Gnomes both.” And also “There Tuor slew the Orc captains Othrod, Balcmeg, and Lug” But I see no other refences to any feet being cut by Tour. So I’m really at a loss on this one. :confused:

[The Might]

Interestingly it seems it is not mentioned here that Lug is the one whose legs were cut from under his knees by Tuor with his axe...I know strange question

Anyway, since you did mention his name, and the question was indeed maybe a bit too much, please post the next question Beleg. :)

[Beleg Cuthalion]

That's odd, what book did you get it from?

Q: How after death do men come the destination of which only Eru Ilúvatar knows?

I hope this is clear enough.

[The Might]

From another version of the Fall of Gondolin:

There Tuor slew Othrod a lord of the Orcs cleaving his helm, and Balcmeg he hewed asunder, and Lug he smote with his axe that his limbs were cut from beneath him at the knee, but Ecthelion shore through two captains of the goblins at a sweep and cleft the head of Orcobal their chiefest champion to his teeth; and by reason of the great doughtiness of those two lords they came even unto the Balrogs.
Since I believe this version was not as old as the one you are talking about I take this information as more likely since Tolkien didn't change for nothing.

As for your question:

When Men die they goe to the Halls of Mandos where Nienna gathers them in her hall Fui, from there they are send aboard Mournië after their final judgment and they sail now south to the destination of which only Eru Ilúvatar knows.

"Then when she is laden, of her own accord she spreads her sable sail and before a slow wind coasts down those shores. Then do all aboard as they come south cast looks of utter longing and regret to that low place amid the hills where Valinor may just be glimpsed upon the far off plain" ~ from the Earliest Tales

I'd sure like to get that book. Your go.

[The Might]

Near which ford did Beren recover the Nauglamir from the Dwarves ?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

At Sarn Athrad The ford of Gelion.

Sorry I'm a little slow, I'm wacthing hockey highlights.

[The Might]

you're correct...any hockey fights going on? :D

[Beleg Cuthalion]

you're correct...any hockey fights going on? :D

Hey I'm still around, and there are no fights that I know of.

My Q is not that hard (I don't think anyway) but anyway... Exactly how many people remained of the Gondothlim after its fall?

[The Might]

three hundred and twenty men and boys, and two hundred and sixty women and children totalising 580

[Beleg Cuthalion]

three hundred and twenty men and boys, and two hundred and sixty women and children totalising 580

Umm...Right, your go then...



*bump* *bump*

[The Might]

At what feasts did the Elves remain silent until sunrise?

[The Might]

sorry, I meant what feast

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The only feast I remember is Mereth Aderthad. . .but I don't remember anything about being silent.

[The Might]

nope

[Beleg Cuthalion]

The Tarnin Austa, or Gates of Summer I believe...?

[Gil-Galad]

lost for names right now... its the festival they had at Gondolin before it was attacked by Morgoth...bah....

[The Might]

yes, Gates of Summer it is

[The Might]

Well, I guess after a month I should be posting a new and easy one:

Who was the Nauglamir made for?

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

I believe it was made for Thingol.

[Thinlómien]

For Finrod Felagund?

[The Might]

Noep, not at first

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Hmmm I think Thinlomien is right, after looking it up myself...wasn't it made for Finrod, who brought the jewels for it from Valinor?

[The Might]

yes

[Thinlómien]

So it's my turn?

[The Might]

I guess so...;)

[Thinlómien]

To which Vala's maiar did Arien belong to?

[ADubiousSource]

Varda.

[Thinlómien]

Nope (though that would be a logical guess).

[The Might]

Vana

[Thinlómien]

Well done, Might!

[The Might]

Who eventually became a better swordsman with the left hand?

[Gil-Galad]

Maedhros after losing one of his hands at Thangdororim(you know what i mean)

[The Might]

Corrrrrrect

[Gil-Galad]

Who were the first "Brethern" to meet the Son?

[The Might]

Who's the Son?
And what's brethern?

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Do you mean "Brethren"?

[Gil-Galad]

yes Brethren, simple spelling mistake

Who were the first "Brethren" to meet the sons?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Hey, so is it Son or Sons?

[Gil-Galad]

it is sons...

Who were the first "Brethren" to meet the sons?


is correct, now no more questions! try and answer it already! you lost your hints at 5 guesses too, gotta wait till 12 guesses now... urrgh... :o

[The Might]

Well, by sons I personally think of the sons of Feanor...
And brethren would mean to me they were Elves as well...
Maybe brethren from Beleriand? Perhaps...the Sindar?

[Gil-Galad]

close, guess again

[The Might]

Teleri, the Elves of the Falas I guess.
After the Noldor reached ME they fought against the Orcs in Mithrim and some also helped Cirdan

[Gil-Galad]

so close TM... but not the answer i want... you are so close...

[The Might]

I dunno...maybe the Teleri at Alqualonde then?

[Gil-Galad]

now your getting colder...


anwser is in your sentence

After the Noldor reached ME they fought against the Orcs in Mithrim and some also helped Cirdan

[The Might]

Perhaps the Grey-elves that dwelled in Mithrim at that time?

[Gil-Galad]

Bingo! there we go TM, now was that so hard?

[The Might]

Well, the question can be interpreted in many ways.
One may say the first met the Noldor, after their births, because brethren can be thought of in more then one way.

Anyway, who hid himself in abandoned mines?

[The Might]

Sorry, I just realized the question is not from the First Age...
Anyway, what is Beleriand's longest river?

[Gil-Galad]

Rivier Sirion perhaps?

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Perhaps Gelion? Though it is more on the border of Beleriand/Ossiriand than directly in Beleriand.

[The Might]

Gelion was longest, while Sirion carried more water

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Which city is Gondolin modeled after?

[The Might]

Tirion

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Of course :)

[The Might]

When the Outlaws first met what was did was he carrying?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

When the Outlaws first met what was did was he carrying?

What was WHO carrying? :rolleyes:

(But if it was supposed to be Mîm, then this was the sack with unknown content - on first sight only some roots, but maybe there was something yet hidden in there...)

[The Might]

Yes, I am indeed talking about what Mim was carrying...
Yes, that's the answer I was looking for

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I thought so :D Okay.

Who was the composer of the longest of all the lays of the ancient days?

[The Might]

Dirhavel, author of Narn I Hin Hurin

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Of course. Please, take the thread ;)

(I must somehow come to be able to put in harder questions, though... is that's possible?)

[The Might]

During the Fall of Gondolin, which houses were the first to charge?

[LjósÁlfr]

Hmm.... According to The Lost Tales I believe it are The House of the Hammer of Wrath and The House of the Tree (Rog and Galdor were their commanders called I believe?)

Not even sure if this is true, or that it has survived in further tales.... :D

[The Might]

Yes, correct :D

[LjósÁlfr]

Cheers!! :D

What does Eärendilyon refer to? (Not sure if this is mentioned outside of the Lost Tales)

[Gil-Galad]

son of Eärendel i'm pretty sure...

[LjósÁlfr]

That's what it lituarily means, but who are called Eärendilyon? :rolleyes:

[The Might]

It was a title given to any mariner, and it did indeed meen son of Earendel.

[LjósÁlfr]

Cheers! You've got it! :D

[The Might]

A tricky question indeed. ;)

Anyway, here is one to stay in touch with the CoH release mood:
Why did Saeros first got angry with Turin?

[LjósÁlfr]

Because Túrin took his seat at the table of king Thingol?

I think there was soemthing said about Saeros being jeaulous, because Túrin got a lot of favour from the king whilst he was a mortal.... :D

[The Might]

Yep :)

[LjósÁlfr]

What does the name Agarwaen son of Úmarth, given to Túrin by himself whilst living in Nargothrond translated into English mean?

[The Might]

Agarwaen son of Úmarth would translate as "blood-stained" son of "ill-fate"

[LjósÁlfr]

Cheers! Again thou arte succesfull in thy awnser!! :D I shalt rejoice upon thy Trivia!:D

[The Might]

I thank thee for thy kind reply...
Speaking like this seems strange somehow...:eek:

Which inhabitant(s) of Middle-earth during the War of the Ring escaped the Sack of Doriath?

[Beleg Cuthalion]

I thank thee for thy kind reply...

Which inhabitant(s) of Middle-earth during the War of the Ring escaped the Sack of Doriath?

Celeborn and Galadriel are the only two that spring to mind... But then left before the sacking, so perhaps you were looking for some other names...http://www.filmhobbit.com/forum/images/admins/smilies/lotr_gandolf.gif

[The Might]

Yes I realise now the question was asked wrong...it should have been might have escaped
In which case you are correct

[Beleg Cuthalion]

Hmmm, killed the thread. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/teufel/devil-smiley-026.gif I'll try to get something up soon. Maybe...
