Now that it is turned back to you, I am going to bed :o

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Agathurush.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Anyone? It's found in UT.

[Joy]

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Eagle of the Star? Aragorn? Elessar?

[Alcarillo]

Yes, yep, exactly, you got it, correct.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Dispossessed.

[NightKnight]

The Sons of Fëanor?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

. . . not only are the sons dispossessed, but the father, too. :p

So give me another name. Just replace one word from your answer.

[NightKnight]

Ok then. Scratch "Sons" and say "House" instead. :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You got it. :p

[NightKnight]

Yay!

Finrod.

[Gil-Galad]

Felagund

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[Alcarillo]

Findaráto? (Quenya version of Finrod)

[The Perky Ent]

Hewer of CaveS?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Lord of Caves?

[NightKnight]

Neither. Come on Nilp, you of all people should get this one! :p

[The Perky Ent]

Friend of Men?

[NightKnight]

Nay, Perks.

[Gil-Galad]

The faithful?

[Alcarillo]

Nóm?

[The Perky Ent]

Lord of Nagothrond?

[NightKnight]

And Alcarillo has it! Nóm the Wise it is. Please take the thread.

[Alcarillo]

Okay, here it is: Turuphanto.

[The Perky Ent]

Hirilonde?

[Alcarillo]

Correct. Your turn, Perky Ent.

[The Perky Ent]

w00t w00t!

Ciril

Have at it!

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

Brilliant Cut? Brilliant Cleft?

cir=cut, cleft
ril=brilliance

It's a river in Gondor.

[The Perky Ent]

the river is right, but thats the wrong answer

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

Ok, then, is it:

"Cleft of the Stars" or "Star-cleft"

Cir=cut, cleft
il=star

[The Perky Ent]

Nope :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Kiril?

[The Perky Ent]

:( You're making me feel really bad for Amercrombie :(

Yes Nil, the answer was Kiril. The thread is yours.

Sometimes the simplest answers are the best

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Sorry, Abercrombie. :(

Sharbhund.

[The Perky Ent]

Amon Rûdh?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Yours again. :)

[The Perky Ent]

Why thank you!

Men

I'm sure its been done before, but what the hay!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Engwar?

[Hiriel]

How about Apanonar?

[The Perky Ent]

snope, and snope :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Children of the Sun?

[The Perky Ent]

:( no

[Gil-Galad]

the sickly?

[The Perky Ent]

nope

[Gil-Galad]

Edain

[The Perky Ent]

nadda

[Osse]

"The Aftercomers" ?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Apanónar?

[The Perky Ent]

nope

[Dimcollowen]

definately not the answer but.....the failing race? (from the fellowship where Elrond says the rule of men is failing....i dunno)

[Dimturiel]

Hildor?

[The Perky Ent]

Unfortunatly, neither is the correct answer.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Followers?

[The Perky Ent]

Snope. As there are so many, I guess you can guess two at a time, unless you are gifted with forsight, and know which one i am thinking of ;)

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

Adan, perhaps?

Yeah, I'm back even after my performance last time. Kiril! Doh! :rolleyes:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Secondborn? Atani?

[The Perky Ent]

3(N)

N = No

I dind't do NO, cause that woudl technically be (N)(O), and i dont' wanna get into multiplication at this hour

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Mortals? Visitors/Guests?

[The Perky Ent]

Snope. Here's a hint: 2 words, one of them being 'the'

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Strangers? The Inscrutable?

[The Perky Ent]

lol nope! Guess it already :mad:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

:p

The Usurpers? The Afterborn?

[The Perky Ent]

Usurpers indeed! I yield my thread to you!


BTW, check out the leaf :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Mighty Wighty must have put it in just now! :D

Enedwaith,

Elendilmir

[The Perky Ent]

Um...Gem of Arnor?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Haha, now I have my chance to say you're wrong! :p

[The Perky Ent]

Yeah...i'm afraid of what i'll have to do: Actually try for the answer


It's math all over again...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

If i understandt this correct i am to guess another name for Elendilmir ?

Crown of Arnor :confused:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Yes, I'm looking for another for the Elendilmir.

And no, your answer is incorrect.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Star of the Dúnedain ?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Still wrong.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I could not think of any more names for it so i have begun searching in all of my Tolkien books, and so far the only thing i can find is : The Star of Elendil

If this is not the right answer then i wil just go lie in a corner and wait for death to come !(again)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You're still wrong.

If this is not the right answer then i wil just go lie in a corner and wait for death to come !(again) (Rune) No, don't do that! We'll give hintses, yess, gollum gollum.

The name I'm looking for is embedded in a reference to one of its wearers.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I can not take this any more i use al my time looking for the answer, i can not sleep, i can not eat, I am a shell of a man ! ! !¨

Is it Elfstone ?

:(

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Elfstone is Elessar, not the Elendilmir. ;)

Speaking of Elessar . . . OK, one more big hint. Read the coronation of King Elessar to see this name for the Elendilmir.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I did know that, but i just could not find anything besides Star of the North. Since i this dos not seem to have any reference to a former owner it could not be it.
:confused:
I have been looking at the passage in the book and this is still all i have found.
Unless you were thinking of the Crown of Eärnur, but that is not the Elendilmir!

So i think i will just realise the facts.

Even thoug i got plenty of help i am a total failure! :(

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I did know that, but i just could not find anything besides Star of the North. Since i this dos not seem to have any reference to a former owner it could not be it. (Rune) Hey, I just said a reference to one of its wearers, not a former owner. So that one is actually correct. :D

I'm glad your perseverance paid off. Your turn. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Im so happy, my life suddenly makes sence! :)

Maybe this is a bit easy. . .

Nen Girith

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

:)

Dimrost?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Absolutely correct.

Your turn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

OK, not so nassty one--I can't think up of a nassty one today, enedwaith.

Gil-estel

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

your right it is not as nassty.

I belive there are only two answers to this one

one of them is Evening Star

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Not that one. I'm looking for a person. ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Arrgh a trap. you give me a falls sence of securety by saying that it is not nasstey and then when i get over confident. BANG right between the eyes ! ! !

Ok im tired and are going to bedt, so a last guess it will be.

hmm. Gil-estel means Star of Hope as i recall, but you were looking for a name.

I belive Aragorn's name was Estel !

Was this the answer you were looking for?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

He's a guy in Silm, a star dude. Oh rather, a dude in a star. ;)

[NightKnight]

Vingilot, wasn't it? Or was it Earrame?

[Alcarillo]

'Tis Eärendil.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I was, indeed, looking for Eärendil.

Your turn. :)

(NK, what happened to you? :p )

[Alcarillo]

Ednew

[The Perky Ent]

Theoden?

[Alcarillo]

Yep, it's Theoden. Your turn, Perky.

[The Perky Ent]

yay! Since I just found this out (through my own research), I'll try this one out!


Wilwarin

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I think i read it ment Cassiopeia.

(In a companion or somthing like that)

[The Perky Ent]

Yup yup!

Wilwarin, the butterfly of the stars, is more commonly known as Cassiopea :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Yeah i also knew that it was known as the butterfly of the stars, but i thought i had only one guess at the time.

Now it is time for an easy one, keep in mind that this is a game for all of the family!

Neithan

[Thinlómien]

Túrin

[NightKnight]

Turambar?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I was thinking of Turin

Of course Turambar was allso a name i of Turin.

Neithan = The Wronged

Turambar = The Master of Doom

It is all yours Thinlómien

[Thinlómien]

(I hope this hasn't been asked before...)
The word is: Artanis

[Dimturiel]

Galadriel?

[Thinlómien]

Yes, Dimturiel, you got it right. The thread is yours.

[Dimturiel]

Thank you very much!
Elessar.

[The Perky Ent]

Elfstone?

[Dimturiel]

Nope, not what I'm looking for.

[The Perky Ent]

Aragorn?

[Dimturiel]

Sorry, no.

[The Perky Ent]

Strider?

[Dimturiel]

Keep trying! :p

[The Perky Ent]

It had to be Aragorn :rolleyes:

Estel or hope?

[Dimturiel]

Neither of these. Not that easy, I'm afraid :D.

[The Perky Ent]

Wingfoot?

[Dimturiel]

I'm afraid not.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thorongil ?

but if we are talking of the actual stone then i will guess Elendilmir

[Dimturiel]

Nope, neither Thorongil, nor Elendilmir. And I am talking about the man not the stone. A hint: Perky was very close once.

[The Perky Ent]

Hope of the Dunedain?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Telcontar?

[Hiriel]

Longshanks?

[Dimturiel]

Telcontar it is. Well done.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks.

Hithlum

[Koneko]

Hìsilòme ?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

That it is.

all youres Koneko

[Koneko]

Yay!

Lugbúrz

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Lugbúrz means "The Dark-tower" allso known as Barad-dúr

[Koneko]

:) Nice... six minutes. All yours.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thaks

Kibil-nâla

I hope this is a bit harder than my previus question!
:smokin:

[The Perky Ent]

The river Celebrant?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

It is correkt and then not, can you be a bit more specific!
:p

[The Perky Ent]

...Silverlode?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Kibil-nâla is only the name given to the source of the Silverlode

But you go Perky

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Scion-of-Kings ? ? ?

[Dimturiel]

Ereinion?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

yup !

All yours Dimturiel

[Dimturiel]

Why, thank you!
Hobbits

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Is it Holbytlan you are thinking of ?

[Dimturiel]

Are you a mind reader, Rune.? :eek: Yes you are right.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Maybe I am a mind reader, but it is really non of your buisness what I do with my own time! ! ! :mad:

Ok then give me an aka for Quick-beam

[Dimturiel]

Bregalad, maybe? And don't get that angry,people may think you are hiding something. :p

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

yeah your right. . . . I guess it was to easy :(

angry ? hidding? I am not hidinh anything . . . :smokin:

[Dimturiel]

Indeed it was!
The Kindler.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

If I say Varda, you say ?

[NightKnight]

Or perhaps Elbereth?

[Dimturiel]

I am afraid to say that you are both wrong.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

is it because you at looking for the name Tintallë ?

[Dimturiel]

No, I am looking for something else.

[Gothmog]

I'm going for the only left (I think): Elentari?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

The only one I know of who has that name is Varda and the only name I have not used is Elentári - Queen of the Stars.


No, I am looking for something else.

oh. maybe you meant I was totaly wrong ! If it is so you force me to take wild guesses ! (trust me they will keep coming until I get it right)

[Dimturiel]

Elentari it is. Well done, Gothmog. Well done Rune, too, but alas you were too late.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

arrgh, I realy must learn to reply faster!

I allways use 5-10 min. because I have to check the books for other posebiletys!

I feel like weeping :(

[Gothmog]

Oh, that was your answer, Rune. You eliminated all other possibilities, and I just used the opportunity. Sorry!

I don't know about this question, but I wouldn't consider it easy if I didn't know the answer. But at the same time, there's much more Tolkien-educated people than me here... I want an other name for:

Mámandil

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

good one Gothmog and yes it was my answer ;)

The name you are looking for is Hallacar

[Gothmog]

Too easy for you? What is not? ;)

But the thread is yours, comrade. Go Denmark! :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Too easy for you? What is not? ;)
But the thread is yours, comrade. Go Denmark! :D

YAY! Complimets, just what I needed after being made fun of by The 1,000 Reader for my bad grammar!


Altáriel

[Gothmog]

I read that post and you almost deserved it :p

Altariel is the Quenya word for Galadriel, the name Celeborn gave her.

But now I'm going to bed, so if I'm right you'll all have to wait until tomorrow I'm afraid. The problem with time zones...

WOW, I just realized I'm a Shade of Carn Dum nowadays! Cool!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Hey I was in a hurry and it was late. . . (plus I have allways been bad to these kind of things in danish. Imagine how difficult it is for me in english) :p

Your absolutely correct Gothmog, but it is not the answer I am looking for. . .

[Dimturiel]

Then maybe you are looking for Artanis.

[Gothmog]

Or maybe Nerwen?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Artanis it was. . .

your turn Dimturiel

[Dimturiel]

Thank you. :)
Lorien

[Gothmog]

Irmo?

[Dimturiel]

Nope. And I am thinking about the place.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

tricky one. . .

Dwimordene

[Dimturiel]

Not that tricky, it seems. You got it right.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I thought it was tricky because it could be the place or the valar. . .

btw it was pure luck! I had just been reading Gandalf's Song of Lorien, when i desited to look at the quiz room. :)

Khazad-dûm

[Dimturiel]

The Dwarrowdelf?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

WOW I did not think that would be your first guess, but it is still wrong !

very close though . . .

[Dimturiel]

Moria, then?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

No.

the first was very close. . .

[Dimturiel]

Are you thinking of Hadhodrond?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

uh it looks like we are going to get thru all the names

I could give a hint if you want, allthough I dont know how much it will help.

(No it is not what I am thinking about)

[Gil-Galad]

well theres ... The Black Chasm, The Black Pit, Phurunargian


the ones that haven't been said...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Hey you have just spoiled my fun ! ! !

It was Phurunargian the Westron name for Khazad-dûm, usually anglicised to
Dwarrowdelf. <-----------------------Thats why you were close Dimturiel

[Gil-Galad]

Druedain

That's the one.

Your turn Gil

[Gil-Galad]

Druedain

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Is this a joke ?

That was the one you asked last time and it took us forever to guess it! Do you really want us to go thru all that again? If so please don't forget the thread like last time. ;)

[Gil-Galad]

[Nilpaurion Felagund]
