[Lyra Greenleaf]

easy...

[Beren87]

Wow, this game is out of control. Everyone please read the Quiz Room Rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000386)thread.

Now, It is LOTR_know-it-all55's turn, as he is correct. Please give the answer, and we will give the question.

[Beren87]

Ah, well its been 10 days. Here you go:

I am the Lock-bearer.

[alaklondewen]

Who is Gimli?

[Beren87]

Correct!

[alaklondewen]

The name given to the Elves of Lothlorien, meaning People-of-the-Trees.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

who are the galadhrim?

[alaklondewen]

Correct! You may proceed.

[elven maiden Earwen]

its been more than 10 days so ill continue.
What does Anduril (Aragorn's sword) mean?

[Beren87]

It's probably Quenya for "west-brilliance"

[elven maiden Earwen]

nope but really close.

[alaklondewen]

I think it's The Flame of the West.

[Beren87]

Umm...yes, I'm right. Anduril is Quenya for "west-briliiance" (as a literal translation) while when it was known as Narsil (before being reforged) it's name meant "sun-moon". The elvish name for the sword, however, carried a connotation of "red and white flame." The word "andu" means west in Quenya, that much I'm sure of as it also comes into play in the word Andunië which means basically west, as it was a western port. Now, in westron it was called "Flame of the west" but that's not its meaning.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Oppps. Sorry Beren87 you are correct i was thinking of something else at the time. Good job! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

No problem at all! Now, back to the actual Jeaopardy format.

Ok: Next one: Mahtan.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Who was the father of Nerdanel?

[Evisse the Blue]

You are absolutely correct! smilies/smile.gif

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

The Union of Maedhros.

[Evisse the Blue]

What is the name of the elf alliance formed by Maedhros who resulted in the battle of Unnumbered Tears?

Tricky one. Calls for careful phrasing of the question! smilies/wink.gif

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Most of the Eldar of Beleriand, and the Edain, and Easterlings some of whom proved treacherous -- yes. smilies/smile.gif And 'which' would have been more grammatically correct than 'who', but you can go (although I'll be keeping my eye on you...). smilies/cool.gif

[ August 22, 2003: Message edited by: Gwaihir the Windlord ]

[Evisse the Blue]

Sorry, English isn't my first language. As if you couldn't tell... smilies/wink.gif

Back to the topic: The Umanyar.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Really? Not bad, then. (Talking over the Internet does, of course, have the capacity (even tendency sometimes smilies/smile.gif) to allow for an amount of slackness in the linguistics that people may employ on its bandiwith...)

What is the collective term for those Elvish tribes other than the Vanyar, the Noldor or the Teleri (those that reached Aman)?

[Evisse the Blue]

Hmmm...Not to be picky, but that's a bit vague. The Umanyar are Eldar (they hearkened the summons) but Moriquendi (they tarried on the way, and never saw Aman), hence the name: those who did not see Aman.

But you were basically correct, so the floor is yours. smilies/smile.gif

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Touche.... =]

Dor-Winion.

[Evisse the Blue]

What place in Middle Earth is famous for its wines? (or better said, vintages)

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Ok, go ahead.

[Evisse the Blue]

You know, I was thinking - let's make this more interesting. So here is the new one:

Changed colour.

I hope I'm not making new rules in the process - but the idea is: any question that will elicit this answer is good, even as long as it's not what I had in mind. Again, I hope I'm not tampering with the rules of this game. smilies/smile.gif

[Mithisilien]

I'm new here! Tell me if I do something wrong!

A warm welcome from me as well, Mithisilien!

[Mithisilien]

(I hope it's not too easy...)

[Cinderella]

Who is Gandalf?


EDIT: *Squeeeee!!!* Happy 100th post to me!!!! (I really hope I'm correct or I'll feel like a rather large imbecile smilies/biggrin.gif )

[Faenaduial]

Who is Legolas at the Council of Elrond?

[ September 01, 2003: Message edited by: Faenaduial ]

[Mithisilien]

Faenaduial got it! Your turn!

[Faenaduial]

The Lake of Twilight.

[Evisse the Blue]

By which lake did the Elves first awake in Middle Earth?

[Faenaduial]

Sorry, that is not correct.

[Evisse the Blue]

Sorry - for some reason I confused the Lake of Twilight with the Water of Awakening. Possibly because the elves awoke in twilight.
Can I try again?
By which lake was the city of Annuminas built?

[Beren87]

Annuminas was the first capitol of Arnor, Elendil built it on the shore of Nenuial.

Lets keep the questions in Jeopardy form. smilies/wink.gif

[Faenaduial]

Beren, you got the answer I was looking for:
"What in another name for Nenuial?"

Please proceed.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Let's see if we can revive this game. Beren, I'm afraid you've overlooked one this time. smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

Hum, seems I have.

The First House of the Edain was established here.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Wrong way around, Beren, but I believe the answer is Dorthonion?
