View Full Version : HoME is where the heart is....

The heart of Middle-Earth, that is. This is a quiz game devoted to asking questions about the History of Middle-Earth series and is doubly tricksy because some stuff made it into LotR and the Silmarillion and some didn't- it's up to you to figure out the right answer.

(Note to mods- I searched for a quiz game on HoME and couldn't find one; please feel free to shut this down if it's a duplicate.)

Anyway, which infamous character did Earendil slay in earlier versions of the Silmarillion that did not find it's way into the published Sil.?

Good work, I was actually planning on starting a thread like this, but I hadn't decided whether to do it on HoME or just BoLT.

And the answer to your question is Ungoliant.

Thanks, NightKnight.

You're answer is correct, too :).

Well, well...

How many people escaped the fall of Gondolin?
NightKnight

Come on, it's easy! :p

So I'm lucky I just read that today...
320 males and 260 females= 580 Gondothlim.
NightKnight

Yup, though they were a bit less than 800 when they left the city.

What was Alboin's name in Numenor?
Fingolfin II
10-16-2004, 09:25 PM
Hmm......I think this is in the Lost Road which I haven't read for a while so there are two possibilities in my mind. However, I'll go for Elendil?
Lindolirian
10-17-2004, 01:13 PM
Better try your other possiblity...;)
Fingolfin II
10-20-2004, 01:42 AM
Ok then- is it Herendil?
Lindolirian
10-20-2004, 07:50 AM
Indeed, it is. :)

Cheers,

What was the name of the Ranger Hobbit with broken shoes?
NightKnight

Trotter?
Fingolfin II

Yep. Good old Aragorn.

Haven't read further than half of Shaping of ME, but I read it somewhere on the forum. Anyway...

Who were the original founders of Nargothrond?
Lindolirian
10-25-2004, 10:30 AM
The Petty Dwarves?
NightKnight
10-25-2004, 03:19 PM
Nope. They may have built the caves, but I'm talking about the city/realm.

Wouldn't that be Finrod and/or the Noldor he took with him there.
NightKnight
10-26-2004, 05:07 AM
Nope.
NightKnight

Come on, I know you can get it!
Lindolirian
11-05-2004, 06:01 PM
Unless it's the Rodothlim (whom I thought were the same as Felgund and his following of Noldor) perhaps you could give a hint, like what book it's in? :)
NightKnight
11-06-2004, 04:23 AM
I think it's in the Lays of Beleriand.

The rodothlim were the percursors of Nargothrond, but I'm talking about Nargothrond itself.
NightKnight

*Bump*

Come on, someone should get it! :P

Yeah.

Which rivers flow through Tavrobel?
Nilpaurion Felagund
03-17-2005, 05:17 AM
Anyone? :(

It's found in HoME II and V.
Lindolirian
04-04-2005, 08:13 PM
Gruir and Afros.
Nilpaurion Felagund
04-06-2005, 05:09 AM
Your go. :cool:

Who was the nurse of Earendel?
Nilpaurion Felagund
04-10-2005, 05:00 AM
Meleth?
Lindolirian
04-14-2005, 08:52 PM
She's the one!
Nilpaurion Felagund

Which two Ainur were relegated to Maiarin status in the Published Silmarillion?
NightKnight
08-16-2005, 09:15 AM
Oh dear, memory... Ossë is one, that's for sure. And the other one is... Wasn't Uinen a Vala in HoME?
Nilpaurion Felagund
08-16-2005, 11:55 PM
Ossë and Uinen are the one I'm looking for!

Your thread, and welcome back! :D
NightKnight

Thankies. :D

Which elf's name is used as a battlecry among the elves?
Nilpaurion Felagund
08-17-2005, 08:37 PM
"ECTHELION!"
NightKnight

*All orcs nearby pee in their pants*

Your go.

Now, along with Glorfindel and Ecthelion, who was the third lord of Gondolin who accompanied Isfin when she left the Hidden City?

A pencilled annotation to the typescript B(i) of the story of Maeglin gives his name as Egalmoth.

Thanks. It's a pleasure to procrastinate here.

Three people mentioned in The Notion Club Papers are probably intended as humorous intrusions of the author himself. Who are they? The Wise will no doubt be able to explain how to see through the disguise as well.
The Squatter of Amon Rûdh
09-09-2005, 07:56 AM
Anyone? Surely it doesn't take this long to read The Notion Club Papers.
The Squatter of Amon Rûdh
09-30-2005, 01:41 PM
Anyone at all?
The Squatter of Amon Rûdh
12-02-2005, 09:27 AM
Surely someone has an idea about this one. Perhaps it's time for a new question.
