paavo
12-18-2004, 04:53 AM
hmm... It probably should help, but it doesn't. :) So I'll take one more guess: it's not Grima. If Grima is not the answer you are looking for please give the correct answer and I'll give the next letter.

Gil-Galad
12-18-2004, 01:02 PM
nope, my guess was Gil-Galad, you only saw him in the movie stabbing an orc in the chest, one of the original intros would show more of Gil-galad, but they didn't do that, so Gil-Galad got shafted

paavo

Hookbill the Goomba
01-03-2005, 01:34 PM
Sorry, I only realised now that I meant to right "brother of the Ring winner" as my second question.

Anárion. He was Isildors brother.

Sorry about that.

Evisse the Blue
01-03-2005, 01:56 PM

Is it a verbal body of water? - (Gosh, I have no idea what you mean by this but I'll make one final try): Not Aelin-uial

Is it a name of a great greyness to the north? - Not Angband

Is it part of a command used by a great Elven-lord? - Not 'Ai' as in 'Ai na vedui, Dunadan...' Eh, that's probably not it. :p

AbercrombieOfRohan
01-06-2005, 03:44 PM
YAY! Ok my answer was Aryador from The Lays of Beleriand, it's the name of Hithlum among men. We can use HoME right?

Evisse the Blue
01-06-2005, 04:03 PM
Yes, I see no reason why HoME shouldn't be used...even for those of us who don't have it (like me), it's an opportunity to learn more.

Next letter is N.

AbercrombieOfRohan

Evisse the Blue
01-06-2005, 04:54 PM
Not Angrod.

@Finwe-89: Actually it has to be with AN, and only I may answer because I posed the original riddle, and the others have to ask me until they guess what I had in mind. Check the rules of the game on page 1. :)

Gil-Galad
01-08-2005, 12:30 PM
it is Anarion, after he unexpectly gets crushed by a stone thrown by a Mordor Catapult at the siege of barad Dur

Evisse the Blue
01-08-2005, 02:00 PM
But Anarion was already mentioned! See Hookbill's post, the first one on the page...So I thought it kind of redundant to say it wasn't him, but I figured it was obvious for everyone it wasn't him, or else I would have told Hookbill he's right.
Hmm, I think we need the opinion of a third party here. Someone with authority and wisdom. ;)
Should I give the next letter or not?

AbercrombieOfRohan
01-08-2005, 02:01 PM
I'm authoritative and wisdom-izing!? Yes you should absolutely give the third letter. :p

Evisse the Blue

Was it the most potent of many? No it's not Menelmacar.
It is one of the Valar? No it's not Mandos.

Did he meet a worthy and heroic end? I'm afraid I don't know your answer. It's either really open-ended and I just haven't looked in the right places or its really specific and I haven't the time.

The Saucepan Man
01-15-2005, 12:02 PM
AbercrombieofRohan should not have to give the next letter, as the question was unclear. There is no such word as "Montourous".

Presumably, you mean "Monstrous".

AbercrombieOfRohan
01-15-2005, 12:27 PM
Did you mean monstrous?

Gil-Galad
01-15-2005, 02:49 PM

World domination is mine!

You're over-acting. It's just a bloody thread.

Ah, but it could start a chain-reaction that could have me controlling the world's major powers. Like Gondolin. Or Doriath.

And since you seem to like questions involving finnish, I'll ask you one! Aren't I the nicest person. ;) Does it contain the finnish word for "down"? Because I'm not completely heartless I'll give you a hint that it does not mean "untuva" as some online dictionaries claim. I promise this is the last question involving any foreign language.

I thought this is all quite normal to you. Y'know, doing quiz stuff while eating, or while doing the laundry, or . . .

Ahem.

Yes. Well, at least it proves that even one of the most masterful Quizzies can be hurt. :)

Enough with the flattering. Give the bloody answer.

It's Mablung. He got his name after the quest of the Silmaril, as he was the chap who plucked the shiny pebble from Carcharoth's roasted innards, and his hands was weighed down holding the not-quite-light Silmaril. Hence, Heavy Hand.
