Elvorama

[Alcarillo]

There's Fingolfin, Fingon, Turgon, and Gil-Galad. There were four who lived in Middle-earth.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Wrong! It's a trick question! :p

[Alcarillo]

Beleriand is in Middle-earth. Right? Or do you mean those who lived their whole lives in Middle-earth and weren't born elsewhere?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

As long as he lived in Middle-earth, and as long as he became a High-King (of the Noldor), yeah. So pretty much that. ;)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Anybody at all? I only need the one last name now.

[Joy]

I would say Feanor.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Two more names. Fëanor is correct, but I'm looking for another High-King of the Noldor who lived in Middle-earth.

(He didn't necessarily have to have been a king while he was living there. ;) )

[Alcarillo]

Finwe!

[Joy]

Finwë - he awoke in ME and then in Valinor became High-King. So tecnically, he was in ME, though not king at that time.

Dang!! I would have had this one if dad hadn't called me to the TV :o :o

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Sorry, Ms. Joy. Alcarillo got it first.

Your thread. And welcome back to the Quiz Room. Werewolves eating too much of your time? :D (I crack me up.)

Oh, brother. :rolleyes:

[Alcarillo]

And not after I was killed the second night. :(

Name at least five Elves whose names end in -wë.

[Joy]

Finwë, Elwë, Olwë, Voronwë, Lenwë

[Alcarillo]

Yep. Your turn. :)

[Joy]

And I forgot Aranwë :)


Who was considered "The Father of Speech" by Men?

[NightKnight]

Taking a wild shot would be Nóm the Wise, AKA Finrod Felagund.

[Joy]

Sorry, close though. This Elf was one that awoke at Cuivienien.

[Alcarillo]

Ingwë, perhaps?

[Joy]

Again, no. :(

[Alcarillo]

Finwë?

[Joy]

I didn't plan on it being this tough. He is a Telerien Elf. That will narrow it down some.

[Alcarillo]

After an extensive online search I have discovered one called Nuin. Is he the one?

[Joy]

Yep, he's the one :) I really didn't expect that to be this hard. My bad! :eek:

[Alcarillo]

What do you expect when you choose an elf out of HoME? ;)

Whose ship was also called the Gil-Estel?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Vingilot?

[Alcarillo]

Yep. Your turn once more.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

So, name two Sindar who participated in the Fifth Battle of Beleriand.

[NightKnight]

Mablung and Beleg.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your thread. :)

[NightKnight]

Thanks.

What's the name of Fingolfin's sword?

[Alcarillo]

Ringil was Fingolfin's sword.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Hey, NK, you forgot this one!

[NightKnight]

You're right, Nilp. *Smacks self with trout*

Yes Alcarillo, you are perfectly right. Ask on!

[Alcarillo]

Name at least six great-grandchildren of Finwe.

[NightKnight]

Easy.

Celebrimbor, Idril, Gil-Galad, Maeglin, Finduilas, Celebrian, (Nilpaurion).

[Alcarillo]

Yep. Your turn.

[NightKnight]

Who led the Nandor over the Ered Luin?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Denethor.

[NightKnight]

Yep. Your turn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

An easy one: Who led Túrin and his two guardians into Doriath?

[NightKnight]

Beleg, of course!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Thread is yours. :)

[NightKnight]

How did Eöl die?

[Telchar]

He was cast from the caragdur...

[NightKnight]

Yes indeed, and well deserved it was, I guess. Your turn.

[Telchar]

Keeping the topic in mind... whose son became the first prince on Dol Amroth?

[The Perky Ent]

Hmm....Imrazor and Mithrellas?

[Telchar]

yep!

[Telchar]

Perky????

[The Perky Ent]

...I knew that! List the elves have that had a simaril!

[Telchar]

That question is very hard to answer correctly - or at least: who do you define elves? ... Problem being Dior, Elwing and Earendil

[The Perky Ent]

Well, I'd assume the person answering would give both. But, since you want clarification, I think I will count half-elves as well :D

[Glirdan]

If I'm correct that would be Fëanor, Maehdros (sp?), Earendil and Maglor.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Is it Fëanor, Maehdros, Earendil, Maglor, Thingol, Dior and Elwing

[Telchar]

Fëanor, Maehdros, Maglor, Luthien, Mablung Thingol, Dior, Elwing and Earendil + a lord of the Green-elves from Ossiriand

I hope those three extras fill the tale :)

[The Perky Ent]

Meh, I'll give it to you Telchar. I expect Finwe would have handeled them as well, but this is not told in the Quenta Simarilion. Your turn :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

How could i do that ? ? ?

I should be punished for forgetting about Luthien !

[Telchar]

How could i do that ? ? ?

I should be punished for forgetting about Luthien !

You should be! :D
I wondered myself if Perky had remembered Mablund and the Greenelf but we will probably never know ;)
It was however a good question, so I will continue with an even easier:

Which elves handeled the ring of Barahir?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I am missing something, but i can not figure out what.
:confused:
The only one i can remember is Finrod

[Telchar]

Thats half the answer :) Find the other half and you got it...

[NightKnight]

Finrod and Elrond?

[The Perky Ent]

I wondered myself if Perky had remembered Mablund and the Greenelf but we will probably never know ;) Which elves handeled the ring of Barahir?

There is only one who knows of what I know. And he is more powerful than any other being in existance. He rules the heavens, and is more powerful than all! ME :D

[Telchar]

Nightknights got it.
Elrond himself gave the ring to Aragorn.

[NightKnight]

Hey look, my memory is right for once. :p

Who led the elves of Mirkwood during the attack on Mordor at the time of the Last Alliance?

[Telchar]

According to memory :p Orophor, Tranduils father

[NightKnight]

Yep, your turn.

[Telchar]

What was the elvish name for those elves that followed Denethor over Ered Luin?

[NightKnight]

The Nandor?

[Telchar]

Sorry No
The Nandor were those who followed Lenwë. His son led part of that people over Ered Luin. Those are the ones Im looking for.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Laiquendi ?

[Telchar]

Correct Rune!
:)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

who spoke for the part of Turin in the enquiry of the death of Saeros ?

[NightKnight]

Nellas?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

svaret er rigtigt (it is the right answer)

I yield the thread to you

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Who was the lord of Gwaith-i-Mirdain?

[Gothmog]

Celembrimbor was the mightiest among them I think. Lord? Guess so...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Your thread Gothmog.

(face it elves need kings, they cannot exist with out them)

[Gothmog]

Right! This one might be too easy:

Who was the brave elf who "named Morgoth craven, and lord of slaves"?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I remember that Fingolfin calls Morgoth "Lord of Slaves" as he challenges him, but I don't know if he is the one to name him that.

[Telchar]

Fingolfin looks good to me, and his older brother called him jail-crow of Mandos – those guys really did what they could to **** him off didnt they? :D

[Gothmog]

Rune is absolutely correct. The word "named" is gathered from the actual context, so I think he did that... And what a mighty scene, Fingolfin like a silvery flash under a dark cloud! It's my background picture on the computer right now...

The thread is yours Rune :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

And what a mighty scene, Fingolfin like a silvery flash under a dark cloud! It's my background picture on the computer right now...

It is the part of the Silmarillion I love the most!, any chance
you could send me that picture?

Who came from Cirdan bearing a message of warning to the king of Nargothrond ?

[NightKnight]

Gelmir and Arminas, wasn't it?

A very nice scene indeed. There's a song about that battle, made by Blind Guardian. It's called When Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill). It's very good, you should listen to it.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It was as you say Gelmir and Arminas; your turn NightKnight.

and thanks for the mentioning of Blind Guardian :p

[NightKnight]

Hmm, quite a lot of Scandinavians in this thread, it seems.

Enedwaith... Who was Egalmoth?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

He was the eighteent ruling steward of Gondor, but what does it have to do with Elvorama

[NightKnight]

You got the right guy. I'm thinking of another Egalmoth.

[Alphaelin]

Would you be thinking of Egalmoth of Gondolin, chieftan of the fighters of the Heavenly Arch?

- Alphaelin

[NightKnight]

I would indeed. Please ask us another question, Alphaelin.

[Alphaelin]

Thank-you, NightKnight.


Okay, which elf was considered the second-best singer in Middle Earth?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Was it Maglor ?

[Gothmog]

Or was it Daeron? (I never remember this, though I know I read it multiple times)

[Alphaelin]

Computer problems...ugh.

Rune got it. Daeron was #1, Maglor was second.

So, your turn to ask a question.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Oh I really can't think of anything. . . .

What was the name of the mightiest ring made by Celebrimbor

[Gothmog]

I'mnot 100% sure but I think it is Galadriel's Ring of Adamant, the Ring of Water: Nenya.

[Thinlómien]

I'd say it was Vilya, the ring Elrond was using.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

your right Thin (you sweet little penguin) it is Vilya, the ring of air, first used by Gil-galad and the Elrond.

[Thinlómien]

your right Thin (you sweet little penguin) it is Vilya, the ring of air, first used by Gil-galad and the Elrond. :)

Who was Anairë?

[Fingolfin II]

Fingolfin's (:)) wife?

[Thinlómien]

Should have known that you know...

Yes, it's correct, please take the thread :)

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers.

I have a bit of a brain-freeze at the moment, so I'll choose something easy-

Who was the herald of Gil-Galad during the Last Alliance?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I have a bit of a brain-freeze at the moment, so I'll choose something easy-


aparently so do I!

I just cant remember it so I am going to guess:
Elrond

I dont remember what titel he had during the last aliance, but he was serving Gil-galad.

[Fingolfin II]

That's the one!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Name the sons of Guilin

[Gothmog]

Gelmir and Gwindor?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

hmm, I am starting to get suspicious of you Gothmog. . . But nevermind that, you are correct !

Carry on

[Gothmog]

Suspicious? What do you mean? I'm more often wrong than right, if you're implying something ;) The last two answer I've given on this thread was wrong (Daeron and Nenya)! And who can forget those two brothers, as unlucky as they were. I actually voted for Gwindor in a thread trying to decide the most tragic (or was it unlucky?) character, but that was a long time ago...

Ok, here comes a new one: What/who is Faelivrin? There's two possible answer and I want them both...

EDIT: Only one answer. Sorry, I was mistaken on something...

[NightKnight]

Wasn't that Turin's nickname for Finduilas?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

now I remember, it is Gwindor’s name for Finduilas !

Thanks NightKnight

[Gothmog]

Oh, you were so close NightKnight, but I must give this to our southern neighbour. Your turn Rune!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks.

Time for an easy one: Were did Caranthir dwell ?

[NightKnight]

Oh bugger.

Caranthir dwelt in Thargelion.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

yup thats right.

[NightKnight]

What was depicted on Turgon's standard?

[Fingolfin II]

Could be totally wrong here, but is it something like Fingolfin's heart? I remember reading something about that before.....

[NightKnight]

Close. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

the moon and the sun and the scarlet heart ?

I read somwhere that those were the embelms of Turgons house (the hart representing Fingolfin), but I don't know if it was on his standart.

[NightKnight]

You're pretty close. Who's heart was it?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

the moon and the sun and Fingolfins heart ?

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Scarlet Heart of Finwë Nolemë. :)

[NightKnight]

Yep. Your turn, Nil.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

A very easy one: Who is the king of all Elves?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Ingwë

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your turn.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It was rather easy. . .

Where did Caranthir, Celegorm and Curufin often go to hunt ?

[Beleg]

Talath Dirnen

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thats not it.

[Beleg]

Rhaaa

Is it Himlad?

I cannot think of something else than the Guarded Plain for now, but I have to read some parts again.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Himlad is not the Guarded Plain. . .

Anyways I have forgotten the answer, it is either Himlad or Thargelion.

Let's just say you were right.

[Beleg]

I didn't mean Himlad was the Guarded Plain. I answered in the post before Talath Dirnen and it is the Guarded Plain.
The other possibility was Himlad, but I was more convinced about Talath Dirnen and couldn't think about something else.
I was wrong obviously, as you said it might be Himlad.

Is it said in the Silmarillion? Searching a bit longer, I can try to find the answer.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I cant remember where I read it, because I am not sure I rule that your answer was correct.

Please procede.

[Beleg]

Here we go.

The name of the golden tree in Gondolin?

[NightKnight]

Glingal?

[Beleg]

Yep yep.

Your turn I guess :)

[NightKnight]

Wow, my memory was right for once. :p

Who did Barahir rescue from Dagor Bragollach?

[Dimturiel]

That should be Finrod Felagund.

[NightKnight]

So it was. I surrender the thread to you.

[Dimturiel]

And I thank you for it :). How were the Elves that refused to come with Orome called?

[Valier]

The Avari.

[Dimturiel]

Right you are. Oh, and welcome to the Downs. :)

[Valier]

May I ask one? What are the 2 names of Turin's female companion?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Nienor and Níniel

She is allso known as Nienor Níniel with Níniel beeing her surname.
(The Tear-maiden)

I think that is all. . .

And welcome to the downs Valier, I hope you will be a frequent poster in the Quiz Room.

[Valier]

Your right! your turn!!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Name a member of the House of the Golden Flower

[NightKnight]

Glorfindel, being their leader.

And another welcome to you, Valier. May your stay be long and enjoyable. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thats right!

Actually I can't remember anyone els than Glorfindel from that house right now, so I am pleased that was your answer. (otherwise I would have to find my companion and thereby break my rule to never use it in the quiz room)

[NightKnight]

The only one I know as well. ;)

Who was it that picked up the crown of Finrod Felagund when he threw it on the floor?

[Gothmog]

Tricky... Edahil picked up the crown but it was given Orodreth so that he could govern Nargothrond until the day Finrod returned. But the name you seek is Edrahil, I think...

[NightKnight]

It was him, yes. Your turn, Lord of Balrogs.

[Gothmog]

Thank you my Swedish friend! And I hope you can accept my apologize for keeping you waiting with my question. As I've said before, right now there's simply not enough time... But here I go, even if it'll be an easy one:

Give an other (old) name for Lothlorien and it's meaning!

Good luck you Masters of Quiz! (By the way, who is King of Quiz? We all know who's the king of quotes, so there should be a king of quiz! Vote? :) )

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

are you thinking of Laurelindórenan a name used by tree-beard (he is old) and Faramir. . .

It means: Land of the Valley of Singing Gold ( I had to look that up :o)

[Gothmog]

Correct as always :)

Your turn!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

:cool:

Thanks.


Ok give me the sindarin name for orc and it's actual meaning.

[Telchar]

The Sindarin name for orc is orch, plural yrch. Boths meaning simply orc and orcs. But I guess you're looking for an older word only used in SILM: Glamhoth which means "noise-horde" or "noise-host" - The word is reflected in the name of Gandalfs sword: Glamdring: "Foe-hammer" / "Noise-horde-hammer" ... hope that is accurate enough for you ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Of course it is my good Telchar, please continue the thread.

[Telchar]

If Andwise had been a Silvan elf, what material would he have used for his craft?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

hithlain

The difficult part was who Andwise was (at least for me)

[Telchar]

You are correct :) Glædelig jul.... <--- Danish for Merry Christmas

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

tak og må du få en glædelig jul og et godt nytår (merry christmas and a happy new year to you)

Wich elven kings possesd the Nauglamir ?

[Gothmog]

Elu Thingol?

Och ha en God jul och ett Gott Nytt År (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

he is sertenly one of them, but the question was: wich kings ;)

[Gothmog]

Oh, sorry... I'd say Finrod Felagund and Elu Thingol.. It must be someone else too, but at least I've helped someone with the correct answer :) That's the only kings I can think of right now...

[Telchar]

Besides the obvious Finrod Felagund, and later Thingol, the list has to contain Dior Thingols Heir - and probably also Orodreth who ruled Nargothrond, though he is reffered to as "lord of Nargothrond" and not king ...

This is actually an interesting question... because it (to me) raises other questions...

What happend to the Nauglamir? Was the Silmaril ever seperated from the Nauglamír? Could we count Eärendil to the list above? He was lord of the people that survived the fall of Gondolin and the Sack of Doriath, and he chose to be counted among the elves... But I can find no reference to the Nauglamir at the Mouth of Sirion or being with Eärendil later - It is said that he bore the Silmaril on his brow - The Nauglamír is not a thing one would wear on ones brow is it? So maybe the Nauglamír never left Doriath - only the Silmaril?

These were my thoughts :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I can do nothing, but hand the thread over to you.

With out turning this into a discution I would like to say: I think the Nauglamir left ME with the silmaril, We know that the silmaril was meant to bee worn around the neck(when it was a part of the Nauglamir), but the first time ever we hear of it beeing used otherwise (the silmaril) is when Earendil where it on his brows. Sureley if they had been seperatet and worn as to different pieces Tolkien would have written about it and It would not have been such a big deal that Earendil choses to wear it like that.

[Gothmog]

Oh yeah, I forgot Dior but I left Orodreth out on purpose. I didn't consider him a king, even if he was a ruler for some time. He was like the Stewards of Gondor... Sorry for this off-topic post, please proceed like nothing ever happened :)

[NightKnight]

Adding to the off topic discussion, I somehow recall reading Elwing having the necklace. Though i might be way off though. ;)

[Telchar]

Which elf feared to be stricken in the darkness?

[NightKnight]

Was it Finrod?

[Telchar]

Nope...

[Tuor in Gondolin]

Was it Maedhros?

[Telchar]

No - No... are you guys just guessing at random??? lol

[Valier]

Is it Eol?

[Telchar]

Nope + Eol doesn't seem to be the type that fears anything, having too much pride for that... The Elf we're looking for is a more, ... shall we say fearfull caracter, though that might be going a bit too far.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Random guess: Gwindor ?

[Telchar]

nope - but nice guess...

[Telchar]

Hint: I fear some stroke in the dark

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

why don't you just shout Voronwë ?

[Telchar]

I had to do something, right?

You're up :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

of cours you did.

Name the elf who wantet the aid of Tom Bombadil.

[Telchar]

Probably Galdor ?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

nope, but good guess.

[Telchar]

;) Second quess is Erestor?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

and the second one is correct. (is it just me or is the royal baptism blown way out of proportion?)

[Telchar]

No, It's not / nut just you, but some / alot of people seem to suck it in ;)


Q: The Elves woke up to the sound of running water - from which mountains did the streams and rivers near Cuiviénen come?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

was it the Red Mountains ?

[Telchar]

The Orocarni - yes

[Beleg]

Can I? I was waiting for somebody to do so, i quite like this thread, but it's quiet since few days... And anyway, I always arrive too late to answer.

Bah..

Q: Who is Aikanaro?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Well Beleg we do have a 10 day rule. . . Next time you cannot wait for me (or anybody els) to reply please make a *Bump*

But since I cannot think of anything better to ask I will let your question stand.

[Thinlómien]

Aikanaro is Aegnor, one of the sons of Finarfin.

[The Saucepan Man]

Well Beleg we do have a 10 day rule. . .Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out Rune. :)

Just to confirm, the rules which are apply to all the quiz and quotes threads may be found at the top of the thread list - or by clicking the link below:

Quiz Room Rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=6003)

[Beleg]

Ok for the 10 days rule.

The answer is correct.

[Thinlómien]

What linguistic change partly affected the history of noldor?

[Elu Ancalime]

Thingol said for no Sinda to use Quenya tounge....so that didnt start things out all warm and fuzzy...and the Sons of Feanor eventually sacked Menengroth....I guess....
________
HEALTH SHOP (http://herbalhealthshop.com)

[Thinlómien]

I wasn't thinking about that. :) Try again.

[Elu Ancalime]

Ok...i think im liable for a hint.
________
Bmw rennsport (http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/BMW_Rennsport)

[Thinlómien]

Hint: early history of noldor...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Are you thinking about the lies that Melkor spread amongst the Noldor and let to the rivalry of Feanor and Fingolfin ? Before that the Noldor had not spoken lies (if I remember correct), with a bit of good will you could call it a linguistic change.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Hey Lommy you never answered my question. . .

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I believe she referred to the movement when Noldor separated from Vanyar... the so-called "Shibboleth of Fëanor". :smokin:

[Thinlómien]

Rune - so sorry. :D But I wasn't thinking about that.
Legate - heh, hmmm...., I'm not actually sure if you're right because honestly, I can't remember what the answer was :o :D, only what it was related to. But if you can wait for several hours, I'll check it late this evening when I come home...

[Thinlómien]

Yes, you were right, Legate. Please take the thread. :)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yay, great. Now I have to check what this thread is even supposed to be about...
(...)
(returns)
So Elves, hmm? (Who would have expected that :rolleyes: )

What was the original function of talan?

[Nerwen]

Telain (plural!:p) were originally refuges and outlook posts.

...What are the rules? Is it just anything about Elves?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Anything about Elves, I guess.

And btw, I was speaking in singular, as in "how does a guitar work". :p

[Nerwen]

Then I believe you should have said "a talan".:p (We're such a mature lot around here, aren't we?)

Who was Thingol's chief captain?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Mablung?

[Nerwen]

Yes.

Your turn.:)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Okay... hm.

Which Elven King liked jewels the most of all?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

This is just a shot in the dark. . . Elu Thingol?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

No, not exactly.

[Nerwen]

Thranduil?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yes, that's him. Your turn.

[Nerwen]

Of what substance was the Third Gate of Gondolin made?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Was it bronze?

[Nerwen]

It was indeed.:)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

All right, when you are so clever - who entered Gondolin on a grey horse?

[Nerwen]

Was it Tuor? I don't remember it saying what colour his horse was.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yes, it was him. The Elves gave him a horse, of course, he did not arrive on it.

Your turn.

[Nerwen]

But how do you know it was a grey horse? They had white ones too– I just looked it up. (Unless you're going with the horse-breeders thing of calling white horses "greys".)

Anyway.

The pillars of Menegroth were made in the shape of what kind of tree?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Hmm... beeches?

And it's specifically written there that they brought out a grey one for Tuor.

[Nerwen]

Aha! I just found the bit you mean.

And yes, they were beeches.:)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Great, now I have to make a new one :p

Okay, at the risk of looking too self-centered: What and when was the reason for the Elves to abandon Amon Lanc? ;)

[Nerwen]

Second Age. Oropher didn't like the neighbours... and he wasn't keen on the rising power of Sauron... and there was this one really smug Elf called Legate who got on his nerves.:D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

:rolleyes: Of course, you are right... at least in the first two, that is. Please continue.

[Nerwen]

How many High Kings of the Noldor had initials other than F?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

That's a very interesting question. I'll try... two?

[Nerwen]

Yes.

Your turn.:)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Oh, good, I wasn't that sure if I didn't miss some secret branch in there :)

Okay... hmm... what about this. Kind of a speciality. We all know Eöl was called "the Dark Elf". However, once, a certain Elf named someone else as "Dark Elf", although he was also called "Dark" himself. Who were these two - the one who spoke and the one who this Elf spoke about?

[Nerwen]

Caranthir, referring to Thingol.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Of course! Well done. You may post a new one.

[Nerwen]

Whom did Balan serve?

[Thinlómien]

Finrod Felagund?

[Nerwen]

At last! I thought nobody was ever going to answer.

Over to you.:D

[Thinlómien]

Yeah, I can't understand what took so long. I mean, I knew that Balan was Bëor's original name and that Bëor served Finrod but somehow I was unable to connect the two facts... :D

Anyway, the next question is

Who taught his daughter's husband?

[Nerwen]

Mahtan.

Name the ravine through which Gondolin was approached.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

[Nerwen]

Orfalch Echor, but that's close enough. Your turn.:)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

lets stick with Gondolin for a bit.

Who was the Captain of the Noldor guards at Gondolins entranceway?

[Nerwen]

[Nerwen]

The Princes of Dol Amroth were said to be descended from which Elf?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Mithrellas?

[Nerwen]

Mithrellas it is.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Now, to which kindred of the Eldar did the lover of the eldest son of Finwë's golden haired-son belong?

(Forgive the circumlocutions . . . it'd be a tad too trifling if I said it plain.)

[Nerwen]
