[Nilpaurion Felagund]

[NightKnight]

Yep. :)

[Firefoot]

How about another name for Rohan?

[Gil-Galad]

Calenardhon...close enough oh yeah it was also considered land of Gondor, and DUnland...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

If I remember correctly, Calenardhon. I'd look up the spelling, as I'm not positive it's accurate, but that defeats the purpose of rummaging through forgotten recesses of my brain.

Edit: aw shucks... cross-posting.

[Sleepy Ranger]

The Mark?

[Gil-Galad]

i thought the Mark was Edoras?

[Firefoot]

Calenardhon works fine, so Gil-Galad goes next.

The Mark, or the Riddermark, is also a name for Rohan.

[Gil-Galad]

right now i gotta think...


The Hidden Rock


very easy

[Sleepy Ranger]

Gondolin?
And how is that in LoTR?

[Gil-Galad]

sure... your go

[wilwarin538]

[NightKnight]

I just wanna point out that Caradhras is the Redhorn itself, not the pass, nor the mountain range.

[wilwarin538]

sorry sleepy, thats not it.

[Firefoot]

Dimrill Dale.

[Kath]

The Riddermark.

[Carnimírië]

Calenardhon.

Edit: Eek! I cross-posted with Kath.

[wilwarin538]

Firefoot`s got it.

[Firefoot]

Another name for Taur e-Ndaedelos.

[wilwarin538]

`Forest of the Great Fear`, its a sindarin name of Mirkwood

[Gil-Galad]

I'm going to Guess Hill Of Slain...but thats probaly wrong

[Niluial]

Is it possibly Eryn Lasgalen?

[Firefoot]

Wilwarin and Niluial both have valid answers, so since Wilwarin answered first he/she can go.

[wilwarin538]

Im a she,

Whats the Tower of the Sun ?

[Firefoot]

That's what I thought, but I was just covering my bases. :)

That would be Minas Anor, or Minas Tirith if you prefer.

[wilwarin538]

And that would be correct.

[Firefoot]

Who is the Lord of the West?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Manwe. Or if you're going for 3rd Age, in reference to the "Men of the West", than it would be Aragorn.

[Firefoot]

Neither. Manwe would be correct, except I don't think he is in LotR. There is a different one that I am thinking of.

[Gil-Galad]

Wouldn't the Lord of the West be either the Kings of Gondor or Cirdan and other elves?

[Firefoot]

No.

[wilwarin538]

Maybe Feanor ?

[Firefoot]

No.

[Morsul the Dark]

Im going to go further west.

is it Sauron?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Evisse the Blue]

Gwaihir?

[wilwarin538]

All I know is that the Valar were the Lords of the West.

[Firefoot]

None.

[Morsul the Dark]

gandalf?

i seem to remember somewhere he calls himself a lord and he does try to protect the west

and and also sorry about the Sauron guess i went East instead of west and i don't know why

[Firefoot]

Nope.

Hint - it's in the appendices.

[Morsul the Dark]

celebrimbor?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Indeed it is in the Appendices, and the Lord of the West is Ar-Adunakor (forgive me the lack of thingamajiggers over the 'u' and 'o'... I'm not sure how to insert them).

However, a point: shortly under where it says that, it is stated that:

This seemed ill-omened to the Faithful, for hitherto they had given that title only to one of the Valar, or to the Elder King himself.
The Elder King being Manwe.

[Morsul the Dark]

thurin?

[Firefoot]

Feanor has it. Nice job!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Thank you very much, Firefoot. By the way, I love the PT.

Next task: Yellowskin

hint: look in the appendices... I'm mightily fond of them

[Kath]

Yellowskin, the Great Writ of Tuckborough was kept in the libraries of Tuckborough in Tookland. In the Shire the old lore was largely neglected but there were always some hobbits who studied it and kept it in memory. In Bilbo`s time there were in the book-hoards in Tuckborough many manuscripts more than 500 years old. The oldest known were Yellowskin as it was popurlary called. Yellowskin dealt with the deeds of the Tooks from the foundation of the Shire though its earliest hand belonged to a period at least 4 centuries later. Yellowskin was estimated to be around 1000 years old.

[Gil-Galad]

don't hurt yourself kath...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Very good Kath. The Great Writ it is, also known as the Yearbook of Tuckborough. You're up.

[Kath]

Sorry for all the extra information, it's just that it reminds me a little of the LotR books. As in creating a history for a culture.
But back to the subject - another name for Celebrant (not Silverlode because thats too easy).

[Evisse the Blue]

Hmmm, this sure took some searching, but it payed off: the Dwarves call it Kibil-nala (with an accent on the 'a', I still don't know how to do accents :( ) - meaning approximately the same as Celebrant and Silverlode.

[Kath]

Yes indeed! I'm impressed.

[Evisse the Blue]

*blushes* why, thank you. :D

Aldarion

[Firefoot]

Anardil.

[Evisse the Blue]

Yep, go on!

[Firefoot]

An easy one: Orodruin.

[Gil-Galad]

Mt. Doom

[Firefoot]

Yep.

[Gil-Galad]

another easy one...


Kud-Dukan

[The Perky Ent]

hole-dweller?

[Gil-Galad]

why yes it his, Rohirric indeed

[The Perky Ent]

Here's the next one (incredibly easy): Yellow Face

[Boromir88]

all I can think of is gollum's word for "The Sun"

[The Perky Ent]

and you are right!

[Boromir88]

the netted stars

[Firefoot]

The Remirrath.

[Boromir88]

remmirath is the correct spelling, but i know what you mean, your turn.

[Firefoot]

Oops. I didn't look it up; maybe I should have.

Anyway, another name for "Little Footpad".

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Trahald?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Encaitare]

Little footpad = Gollum

as in...

----------------

" 'Gollum,' answered Frodo. 'Or at least, so I guess.'
'Ah!' said Aragorn. 'So you know about our little footpad, do you? He padded after us all through Moria and right down to Nimrodel.'

-----------------

[Firefoot]

Precisely!

[Encaitare]

Awesome.

Next one: Nóm.

It's a bit tough, so happy hunting!

[The Perky Ent]

Wisdom?

[Firefoot]

It's Finrod.

[Encaitare]

You got it, it is Finrod.

But, it does mean wisdom or wise one, Perky Ent.

Your turn, Firefoot!

[Firefoot]

Durin's Bane aka _______.

[wilwarin538]

Balrog

[Firefoot]

Yep.

[wilwarin538]

This should be easy:

Who is the Lieutenant of the Tower?

[The Perky Ent]

Wasn't that the mouth of Sauron?

[Boromir88]

Perkygj you got to it before me, if she's speaking of Barad-dur, you would be right.

[wilwarin538]

yes perky it was

[The Perky Ent]

Yay! Thank you! This is a hard one, as there's many choices, but only one right answer! What is another word for Men?

[Morsul the Dark]

doomed race

[The Perky Ent]

Not what I'm looking for!

[Firefoot]

Edain?

[The Perky Ent]

Still no

[Firefoot]

The Big Folk?

[The Perky Ent]

When I considered doing men, that was my first thought, but I found a better one, so no. But, personally, Big folk is my favorite!

[Firefoot]

Hm, I thought that was going to be right too...

The only other thing I could find was tarks...

[Encaitare]

The Followers?

[The Perky Ent]

Firefoot, that was the only other thing you could find? Shame on you! I know about 20 different names! Anyways, those are both wrong!

[Evisse the Blue]

I suppose you're not thinking anything so simple as Mortals?

I'll go with the Strangers.

[Firefoot]

Just have to look harder I guess... :D

Atani?

[Boromir88]

I'm thinking weird here, because im sure it is something weird. After a long debate I'll go with...
Forgoil, what the dunlanders used to call the rohirrim.

[The Perky Ent]

Not mortals, strangers, Atani (good guess), or Forgoil. And btw, It's just men in general, not gondorians, rohirim, dunedain etc. Just plain ole men!

[Evisse the Blue]

The Elves had a lot of endearing names for mortals.
The Nightfearers? The Sickly?

[Morsul the Dark]

mankind?

[Firefoot]

The Aftercomers?

[Boromir88]

I've been debating between a few names here, what I think are good guesses uhhh.... I think i will go with "Atanatari," if that's it I only got a few more lol.

[Encaitare]

The Children of the Sun?

[The Perky Ent]

Yes, the elves did have a lot of endearing names :rolleyes: Anyways, those are all wrong!

[Firefoot]

The Younger Children of Ilúvatar?

[Boromir88]

well, my next guess is elves are called the first born, men were called the second born. So thats my answer "second born"

[Morsul the Dark]

self-cursed

[The Perky Ent]

Still wrong. Boromir88 is sorta on the right track...sorta.

[Boromir88]

Could it possibly be...

"engwar."

[Cibbwin]

How about The Followers? The Second People?

[Encaitare]

The Inscrutable?

The Usurpers?

Edain?

Those Guys? :p

[The Perky Ent]

None right so far. Encaitare, you must be really desperate, guessing four answers in one post. Unfortunatly, none of those were right ;) Keep on trying. We're starting to run low on answers!

[Cibbwin]

The After-Born?

The Night-fearers?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Hildor?

[Boromir88]

I'm running really low here how about "Firimir," or "2nd race" (ok I just made that one up I admit).

[The Perky Ent]

Still nothing.

[Evisse the Blue]

The youngest race?
the heavy handed?

[Gil-Galad]

Numernoreans? Gondorians?


(i was just looking at the tree if it was a hint)

[The Perky Ent]

Still nothing. Gil-Galad, no it has nothing to do with a tree. It's not a division, it's just a name. Keep on guessing! You're getting closer!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

The Guests?

[The Perky Ent]

nope

[Encaitare]

Apanonar? (with accent on the o)

[The Perky Ent]

Yes, it is Apanónar! The afterborn! You got it! Congrats! Your turn!

[Encaitare]

Wow, can't believe I was the one to *finally* get that one! You're a very tricksy Ent indeed!

Next one: Karningul, aka _______

[The Perky Ent]

Isn't that Westrong for Rivendell?

[Encaitare]

Yep. Go on, Perky Ent!

[The Perky Ent]

Right! Here's the next one! Another word for...dwarves!

Yes, I'm doing the race theme, but it presents more options!

[Firefoot]

Khazad?

[The Perky Ent]

Sorry, try again :p

[Firefoot]

Naugrim?

[The Perky Ent]

still nada!

[Firefoot]

The stunted-people?

[The Perky Ent]

nope!

[Firefoot]

Nibin-noeg? (Are you counting Dwarves and Petty-Dwarves as the same?)

[The Perky Ent]

No I'm not, and that's wrong BTW :D

[Firefoot]

Gonnhirrim?

[The Perky Ent]

Yup! You got it!

[Firefoot]

Thanks!

What is another name for Mansbane?

[Boromir88]

Well, Isildur's bane is the Ring.

So, I'm going out on a limb here and saying mansbane is power, if I'm way off please just tell me lol.

[The Perky Ent]

If not power, then death?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I was actually thinking of Eru's Gift myself... what be the bane of man apart from death? Unless it's 'woman'... ;) :D but I don't think so.

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Evisse the Blue]

the Nazgul?

[Firefoot]

No.

[The Perky Ent]

sickness?

[Firefoot]

No. It is a specific he/she/it.

[The Perky Ent]

Sauron?

[Firefoot]

No.

[The Perky Ent]

wargs?

[Cibbwin]

Galadriel?

[Firefoot]

Neither.

[The Perky Ent]

orcs?

[Firefoot]

Nada. It's in the Appendices.

[The Perky Ent]

Felaróf, the horse that killed Léod!

[Firefoot]

There you are!

Honestly, I didn't think it would take so long. I must be one of the only one who pays such close attention to the horses... ;) :D

[The Perky Ent]

Well you are Firefoot! Who else would know horses? Especially rohirric ones ;) Anyways, here's the next one: Elves :D

[Firefoot]

Quendi?

[Encaitare]

The Children of the Stars

[The Perky Ent]

Nope...and nope!

[Firefoot]

Eldalië?

[The Perky Ent]

yep :D

[Firefoot]

That's a cool word... Eldalië.

Anyway, what's another name for The Lonely Mountain?

[Gil-Galad]

Erebor

[Firefoot]

Yep.

[Gil-Galad]

yep...


Orome
