Mickleburg

[Encaitare]

The Perky Ent is probably right, but I'm just going to throw in "Great City" anyway :p

[luthien-elvenprincess]

The Perkster is right ;)

Whoo! Right, what's another word for Eru?

Can I make a movement to widen the rules to more books than LotR? I know that several people (including myself) have slipped on this rule, accidentally doing something from the Sil or UT.

[NightKnight]

Finglas.

I agree.

[Firefoot]

Correct.

[NightKnight]

The Fat.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Forlong.

[Firefoot]

Or Lalia, perhaps?

[NightKnight]

Feanor, it was indeed Forlong the Fat of Lossarnach. Please carry on!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Why thank you, NightKnight. When you pick one of my favorite characters, how could I not answer?

Banakil next, if you please.

[NightKnight]

Hobbits or, more exactly, halflings.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Or kuduk, perhaps?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Hobbits/Halflings it is, NightKnight. (had Nil given kuduk first, I'd have accepted that). Your go, N.K.

Fea

[NightKnight]

Nomin.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Eldar. THe Wise

[NightKnight]

Yup, please continue. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Galenas

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Too easy, I know... Forn.

[Gil-Galad]

Dwarvish for Good ol' Tom Bombadil

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Quite right. Your turn Gil.

[Gil-Galad]

Labadal


emjoy!

[Firefoot]

Sador.

[Gil-Galad]

Close but no, it more of what it means...well i guess...well if you tell me what it means then you can go

[Firefoot]

Hopafoot.

[Gil-Galad]

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Keep throwing . . . errr . . . answering.

[Encaitare]

Friend of Men?

[NightKnight]

Felagoth?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Still no hits.

[Firefoot]

Erm... perhaps it is a bit of a trick question... Atarinya?

[Encaitare]

Lord of Nargothrond?

I'm out of ideas... ;)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

One word. English. First letter "F".

Sorry, I can't draw or act it. ;)

[Fingolfin II]

(The) Faithful or (The) Fair?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Forgot about this one.

The Faithful is correct. Go, Fingolfin!

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers,

How about Aragorn?

(This is a tricksy one and I think it's in LotR, but it's said differently- good luck ;).)

[NightKnight]

Thorongil?

[Encaitare]

Hmm... a tricksy one? I'll go with Envinyatar.

[Fingolfin II]

Nope. Remember, it's not in LotR. Well it kind of is, but it's said differently and said several times :p.

[Encaitare]

Ack! Confuzzled!

Do Appendices count as LotR? I assume they would but just in case not... Estel?

[Gil-Galad]

Confuzzled? thats a first... Aragorn II... never really stated in LOTR except appendices and otehr books

[Fingolfin II]

Nope, it's in HoME, but it's not like "Trotter" or anything that wasn't kept for LotR. It's said in LotR, but in a different way (hard to explain). I'll give you a hint: it starts with A.

[NightKnight]

Arathorn's son?

[Fingolfin II]

That's the one. Come to think of it, that might have been in LotR also. Wait it was- in the Appendices, I remember now! Anyway, you're up.

[NightKnight]

Right-o...

Dior.

[Firefoot]

Eluchil?

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[The Saucepan Man]

No, not that one either. :D

[Firefoot]

Land of Darkness?

[The Saucepan Man]

'Fraid not. :smokin:

[NightKnight]

Dor Daedaloth?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

The Nameless Land

[Gil-Galad]

Land of Shadow and Ash?

[The Saucepan Man]

luthien-elvenprincess

The Nameless Land was the one that I had in mind.

Take it away ... :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Whoo-hooo, its me, its me, its me!!!

[Firefoot]

Little master?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Ring-bearer

[Gil-Galad]

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Let's try "Barrel-rider" or "Theif Baggins".

Hey, ya never know, right?

Fea

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The 88th Boromir, or the Boromir born in '88, has it. 'tis "Mad Baggins" I was looking for!

Your turn. :)

[Encaitare]

Ciryaher.

[Encaitare]

Hyarmendacil?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

South-victor?

[NightKnight]

Encaitare has it. :)

[Encaitare]

Another name for Mount Doom.

[NightKnight]

Orodruin?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mountain of Fire?

[Tuor of Gondolin]

[Encaitare]

Tuor has it. :)

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Okay. How about

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Tar-Meneldur is correct.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Nólimon.

[Encaitare]

Dwarves.

[Boromir88]

I forgot all about this thread....this is a long shot since it only deals with a specific group of dwarves, but how about....

Longbeards

[Gil-Galad]

stunted people

[Encaitare]

Nope and nope. Keep trying!

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Naugrim? Elvish name for dwarves. Is the dwarf secret name for themselves
recorded?

[Boromir88]

Tuor, I believe it is Khazad.

Baruk Khazad! Kazad ai-menu!

"Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!"

I guess I'll take a stab at Khazad.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

How about Hadhod?

[Encaitare]

Still no.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Gonnhirrim

[Encaitare]

You've got it, luthien. :)

Alrighty then...next one

[Carnimírië]

Lothlorien.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

A prize for Gil-Galad! :)

[Gil-Galad]

Guild of Venturers


have fun

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

the Uinendili?

[Gil-Galad]

SUper close, but no

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

I'll admit I've only done a fairly brief search, but the only other name I've come across is Devotees of Uinen, but that's really just a translation of Uinendili.

[Gil-Galad]

well thats what i was thinking of, your turn

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Turuphanto

[Gil-Galad]

Hirilonde?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Good enough. ;) like you I actually had the translation in mind, but... You may have the floor Gil-galad.

[Gil-Galad]

yea, i was actually reading about that too right when i spotted it on my comp....Wooden Whale...


Karningul

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Rivendell

[Gil-Galad]

won't be that easy my dear, next!

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

"Cloven Vale"

or perhaps Imladris?

[Gil-Galad]

nope

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

But.....but....Karningul is the Westron name for Rivendell/Imladris, meaning a deeply-cut, steep sided valley.

Or is there some other name for Rivendell that you are looking for? The Last Homely House?

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

...Or the First Homely House, or the House of Elrond....

[Gil-Galad]

Looing at the enclyclopedia of Arda aren't ya?


anyways its First Homely House...

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Actually, I wasn't - I happen to be a fan of Imladris.

Russandol

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

er, that, I suspect, *glances above* was probably his mother's nickname for him...

Better known as Maedhros.

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Absolutely. Your question

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Yôzâyan .

:smokin:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Númenor?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Indeed. Goodness you people are sharp. :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Rochon Methestel.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Well, Rochon Methestel is a song remembering Borondir in specific and the Battle of Celebrant in general, but I'm not sure that Borondir is Rochon Methestel. It translates to "rider of the last hope".

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I always thought he was the Rider of Last Hope.

Take the thread, anyway. :)

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Perhaps he was. I'd never have figured it out without my handy dandy copy of Hisweloke's dictionary. I must go now and prepare something sufficiently nasty.

Eureka, I have found it: Uilos.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Nasty indeed, Sophia. Uilos is the Sindarin form of Oiolosse, which is Taniquetil.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Ah, but it also means something else. See if you can find it now... ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Cruel and nasty, we shall be. As the name may have only referred to the summit, the answer may be as simple as Ilmarin, which are the halls built upon the summit.

However, considering 'Oiolosse' was simply the most common name used, there are also Amon Uilos, Mount Everwhite, the White Mountain, the Holy Mountain, Elerrina, the Hill of Ilmarin, and the Mountain to choose from. :D

Fea [has handy dandy references]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Perhaps I'm nastier than I should be.

There is still another meaning. One I might add (if I wanted to give you a clue) which has personal significance to me. And nothing to do with Oiolosse

Sophia

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Uilos, also know as alfirin or simbelmyne. A pretty white flower :)

That what you were looking for? I believe that Amon Uilos was named for these flowers that adorned it.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Sorry, Fea, but Celebriel has it.

*Points at her pt, snickers at her own audacity* Hence personal significance... it was simbelmyne. :smokin:

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Well, I don't have my books with me right now, so here goes from memory:


Ilverin

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Littleheart, son of Bronweg?

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

:claps:

Well done. your turn :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Belaurin

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Anyone? Anybody at all?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Palurien?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And in exchange, I give you the thread! :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Thanks Nilp.

Coimas

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Oh, sorry. You want some lembas?

Bear with him. Tolkien's Letters is getting to him.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Correct. (cleans up crumbs left behind) :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

asëa aranion

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Kingsfoil, my friend. Or perhaps you mean Athelas.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Ask away! :)

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Mar Vanwa Tyalièva

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

The Cottage of Lost Play, praps, or be this tricksier than the last of yours?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Nope, I'm playing nice today. ;)

Edit: and lest we get confused, by "Nope" I mean, yes you're right, go ahead. :rolleyes:

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

All right... here she be:

Ship-lord

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Tarannon Falastur?

Wait: she?? :confused:

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Argh, the question be she, the answer be he. And yer answer be incorrect. Try again, my friend.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Alcarondas- the Castle of the Sea, perhaps? Generally ships are female.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

In my "here she be" and other female implying drawl, I was simply in a pirate-type mood. The answer is a male.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Ciryaher? As far as I can tell, "cirya" might be related to "cair" -> ship and "her" is almost certainly "heru"-> lord.

?

Sophe

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Círdan?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Sorry I took so long... plum out forgot what my answer was! I had to go back and look it up to remember. Haha... should be a rule against that...

Sophia's got it with Ciryaher.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Wæfre

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Eriol?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

that's the one.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

A toughie here (I think):

Máhan.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Anyone?

Even if you just ask for hints, please? :(

[Gil-Galad]

i know it, i just forgot...it sounds so familiar too!!!

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

I know a Mahal, a Mahtan, and a Mahanaxar...?

But no Mahan.

Sorry, Nilp, you got me. :p

Sophia

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Who sits on Máhanaxar?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

So the Valar. Or more specifically, I would guess Manwe?

:confused:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And not just Manwë. ;)

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

mâchan supposedly means "authority, authoritative decision" (WJ:399). The source of Quenya Máhan, one of the eight chiefs of the Valar, though the translation Aratar was more usual. It is an element in Mâchananaškad "Doom-ring", Ring of Doom, adapted to Quenya as Máhanaxar or translated as Rithil-Anamo. (WJ:401)

So, the Aratar. :D

Tough indeed, Nilp.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

But you still got it.

Take the thread. You certainly earned it. ;)

[Celebriel Esgaledhel]

Sopia, dear, don't make me start a countdown...

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Many apologies.

Alright, this is will be rather a back handed question as I can't think of anything obscure that hasn't been done. Follow my wanderings until you find the person referenced, then provide me with an alternate name for them.

His father was not Lorindol, nor his son Eluchil, yet his name he shared with the father of one greater than himself. And though the greater, he is in one way less.

Nothing cryptic in this. Just clues. Find an alternate name for the one referred to as Greater in the riddle and the thread will be yours. ;)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Am I to assume that the person you want is from the First Age?
