Of Gondorians and Rohirrim...

[symestreem]

Not quite, but you are halfway there. This is where the "et al" comes in!

[NightKnight]

He was a descendant of Isildur/Elendil, and of Firiel, the daughter of king Ondoher of Gondor.

[symestreem]

And Firiel was the descendant of...?

[Thorongil]

Anarion?

[symestreem]

:D Go ahead.

[Thorongil]

How many names were mwntioned in the poem at the end of the chapter Battle of Pelennor Fields?

[symestreem]

Place-names: 9
People-names: 14
Other: (Thengling) 1

[Thorongil]

Yup.

[symestreem]

What did the second Boromir do?

[NightKnight]

He drove the orcs out of Ithilien.

[The Perky Ent]

Joined the fellowship...

[Gil-Galad]

retook Osgiliath

[symestreem]

NightKnight is correct. Boromir of the Nine Walkers was the third of that name. Interestingly, his father was the second Denethor.

[NightKnight]

Who led the Gondorian army they sent to aid Arnor in their last battle?

[Gil-Galad]

Earendur i think...i know Cirdan and Glrofindel led elves...

[symestreem]

Is it Earnur?

[NightKnight]

Eärnur it was...Symestreem, your turn. :)

[symestreem]

Why did the xth king rule after the x+1th king?

[Gil-Galad]

Which? Gondor or Rohan?

[The Perky Ent]

Is it Eldacar? He was the 19th and 21st king of Gondor. He was the 19th king until the people of gondor didn't like a king with mixed blood and a civil war broke out. Then he killed Castamir, the 20th king and ruled again as the 21st king.

[symestreem]

*nods* Yes.

[The Perky Ent]

Riiiiiight...um....

hair covered my darkness. No colored love passed my sight. No heirs will feel my black love.


Who am I?

[NightKnight]

Wulf?

[The Perky Ent]

Nope

[NightKnight]

Beruthiel?

[The Perky Ent]

Yessire

[NightKnight]

Who killed king Folca of Rohan?

[The Perky Ent]

If i remember, isn't it Boar of Everholt?

[NightKnight]

It is indeed.

[The Perky Ent]

^_^ what is the name of the wood next to the peak of the king?

[NightKnight]

Firien?

[The Perky Ent]

NK has it...as always :/

[NightKnight]

This is my favorite section...I like Gondor, and I like Rohan. :p

How many kings of Gondor were there in the Third Age?

[symestreem]

Twenty-nine, with Elessar being the first king of the Fourth Age?

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[symestreem]

Thirty-one?

[NightKnight]

Close.

[The Perky Ent]

32?

[NightKnight]

Yes. Aragorn was actually king in the Third Age. It's 33 if you want to count Isildur as well.

[The Perky Ent]

So i got it?

[NightKnight]

Yes.

[The Perky Ent]

cool...um....easy one, name the beacons of Gondor

[NightKnight]

Amon Dîn, Eilenach, Nardol, Erelas, Min-Rimmon, Calenhad and Halifirien.

[The Perky Ent]

check please! your right

[NightKnight]

What did Hirgon carry with him to Theoden?

[The Perky Ent]

the red arrow?

EDIT: WOW, OFF BY A COUPLE OF SECONDS! OUCH!

[symestreem]

The Red Arrow.

[NightKnight]

Indeed, and Perky Ent was first.

[The Perky Ent]

what is the grandson of the last

[NightKnight]

Of the last what?

Is the answer Barahir, the grandson of the last ruling steward, Faramir?

[The Perky Ent]

always! he always gets it :mad:

[NightKnight]

That's because I'm so darn good at this. :D

Who was in charge of the Hornburg when Theoden & Co got there?

[Fingolfin II]

Was it Gamling?

[NightKnight]

It was.

[Thorongil]

Hey, Fingolfin II, you there?

[Fingolfin II]

Whoops, sorry, *mindfreeze*.

Which King of Rohan is "not remembered with great praise"?

[Thorongil]

Fengel?

[Fingolfin II]

Yep.

[Sirithheruwen]

Thorongil? Your turn!

[Thorongil]

I SERIOUSLY need my memory checked...
Well, anyway, In what year did Baldor walk the Paths of the Dead?

[NightKnight]

In the year 2569 in the Third Age.

[Thorongil]

Go ahead.

[NightKnight]

Who were Eomund's grandchildren?

[symestreem]

Faramir's unnamed child, and Elfwine (and any siblings he might have had.)

[NightKnight]

He has a name, try to find it. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Elboron and Elfwine

[NightKnight]

Yes.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

How long had Baldor's body lain beyond the Dark Door when Aragorn and party looked upon it?

[symestreem]

Well, we don't know when Baldor entered the place; if it was before March 8, 2569, then the answer is 450 years; if it was after March 8, then the answer is 449 years.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

I was prepared to accept either answer. You are correct, with a perfect score!

[symestreem]

How many names are used twice in the lines of stewards? Don't count a name if it is used once in the line of stewards and once elsewhere.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Three: Hurin, Turin, Denethor

[Son of Númenor]

Húrin I & II
Túrin I & II
Ecthelion I & II
Denethor I & II

That makes four names used by two Stewards of Gondor. I believe that is all.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

crap, crud and corruption...I missed Ecthelion :rolleyes:

[symestreem]

Neither are correct. Remember, Stewards doesn't have to mean ruling steward; I'm only looking for names used exactly twice; 'the line of stewards' also means their descendants.

[NightKnight]

Turin, Ecthelion, Denethor, Belecthor, Boromir and Barahir. Hurin was used thrice.

[Son of Númenor]

Drat.

[symestreem]

NightKnight is right.

[NightKnight]

I think I most be the most forgetful person on this forum. I'VE DONE IT AGAIN! Once again I had a great question, but as usual it's gone when I get here. ;)

Name ten rohirrim that died on the Fields of Pelennor.

[samwise8504]

theodon,grimbold,guthlaf,dunhere,elfhelm,herefara, herubrand,horn,fastred and deorwine

[symestreem]

Theoden, Harding, Guthlaf, Dunhere, Deorwine, Grimbold, Herefara, Herubrand, Horn, and Fastred, because Elfhelm did not die on the Fields of Pelennor. Although Samwise is still correct.

[NightKnight]

Samwise, like symestreem said, you only have nine. Elfhelm didn't die there. So symestreem, it's your turn. :)

[symestreem]

What color was Erkenbrand's horn?

[samwise8504]

black

[symestreem]

Yes! :)

[samwise8504]

which king of rohan slew the great boar?

[symestreem]

Folca, the 13th king.

[samwise8504]

correct

[symestreem]

Where was said boar's home?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Said Boar of Everholt lived in the Firienwood, between the borders of Rohan and Gondor, by the Ered Nimrais.

[symestreem]

Correct.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Where was Merry's tent located while camping at Firienfeld?

[NightKnight]

Next to Theoden's tent.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Correct answer, Night Knight

[NightKnight]

Approximately, how many men came to Minas Tirith when Pippin and Bergil were looking?

[samwise8504]

around 1800 i think

[Dargoth of Morkrond]

They were 2000 counted and a few more uncounted though they were less than 3000.

[NightKnight]

There were between 2000-3000. Dargoth, please continue. :)

[Dargoth of Morkrond]

Ok, how old was Boromir by the time of his death??

[Fingolfin II]

He was 41 years old.

[Dargoth of Morkrond]

Correct Fingolfin, your turn....

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers Dargoth, hmm....lets see....ah! Got one-

'No jealousy or rivalry had arisen' between which two Gondorians?

[Dargoth of Morkrond]

Well, I guess................Boromir and Faramir maybe?? :rolleyes:

[Fingolfin II]

You guess.....correctly.

[Dargoth of Morkrond]

I was searching for a hard one, but I couldn't find any, so anyway:

Who were involved in the three unions between the Eldar and the Edain??

[Fingolfin II]

Hmm.....is this a Gondor and Rohirrim question? Anyway, they are: Beren and Luthien, Tuor and Idril, Arwen and Aragorn.

[Dargoth of Morkrond]

Well I thought so, but that doesn't matter since you are correct Fingolfin, go ahead....

[Fingolfin II]

Which King of Rohan is similar to me (Fingolfin), and in what respect?

[Mithalwen]

Theoden - because they were both crushed to death?

[Fingolfin II]

Yes- I would have accepted that they were both likened to Orome, but you're up Mithalwen.

[Mithalwen]

Oh well I am too ignorant to have noticed that lol... oiooh harder to think up questions almost... Ok lets try:

Who was "sitting on his horse with his knights about him; and the falling Sun shone upon them and made all their harness to gleam like red gold", what was the occasion and what significant event had happened there previously?

[Gil-Galad]

Imrahil maybe?

[Mithalwen]

No, but not a million miles away. :p .... I liked Imrahil, I guess it was inevitable that they would omit him from the films but I am still sorry.... :rolleyes:

[Gil-Galad]

Faramir? Forlong?

[Mithalwen]

Nooooo ...but Faramir is as close as Imrahil ;) ....and Forlong is way off the mark ....maybe thinking of the occcasion would help ....

[Sirithheruwen]

Theoden? When he and his company were about to ride to the Pellennor Fields?

[Mithalwen]

Nooooo not Theoden......... but reasonably close in time and space.....

[NightKnight]

Eomer?

[Mithalwen]

Eomer is as close as Faramir and Imrahil (literally!).... Oh everyone here seemed to know the books so well - maybe I tried too hard not to be obvious........

[Carnimírië]

Aragorn when he said farewell to his friends at...I believe it was the Gap of Rohan?

[Mithalwen]

Yes to parting with Aragorn (and Eomer, Faramir and Imrahil were left at Edoras!!!!!) ..but not quite the Gap but i am not going to be that picky after so long- the event was Pippin looking in the palantir........ over to you Redjewelled one!

[Carnimírië]

Ok, which king of the Mark could have been said to have been "boared to death" (spelling intentional)?

[NightKnight]

Folca, who was killed by the Boar of Everholt. :p

[Carnimírië]

Yep. Seeing that entry in the list of the kings in Appendix A really tickled me :D

[NightKnight]

Who, except Eorl, was buried in Eorl's mound?

[Carnimírië]

That would be Felarof the killer horse.

[NightKnight]

Killer horse, eh? Makes me think of the killer rabbit in Monty Python. :D

Your turn, of course. :)

[Gil-Galad]

"i'd soil my armour if i was so scared!"

" whats it gonna do? nibble your bum? "


heh great stuff....

[Carnimírië]

Who was Bergil's uncle?

[Mithalwen]

Iorlas .... quite as old as Peregrin Took.... :D

Oh they all say it's only a rabbit.....

[Carnimírië]

Right, Mithalwen.

[Mithalwen]

Thank you but now ..the hard bit..... for me not you perhaps......

His son attempted a path which his namesake in the film refused.....

[The Perky Ent]

I'm slow, so I don't get it, but...Arathorn?

[NightKnight]

Brego. His son Baldor tried to go through the Paths of the Dead, which Aragorn's horse (also named Brego) didn't dare.

[Mithalwen]

Yes..that's it Brego... was worried it didn't make sense.....:D Actually I thought that the book paths of the dead was much creepier but nvm... Over to you..

[NightKnight]

Yeah, I think so too.

What colors were the banner of Rohan?

[Sirithheruwen]

White and green?

[NightKnight]

Yep.

[Gil-Galad]

*a very weak bump*

[Sirithheruwen]

Oops, sorry...

Who was Theoden's bane?

(Sorry it's so easy, but I don't have access to my books this weekend.)

[Gil-Galad]

his horse i believe ...it was shocked from the fell beast

[The Perky Ent]

Gil-Galad is probably right, but, the Witch King? gotta go for the obvious ;)

[Gil-Galad]

it actually said in teh book that Snowmane (theodens horse) was the bane of his death...

[The Perky Ent]

But I must try :D

[Sirithheruwen]

Sorry, Perky, I'm accepting Gil-Galad's answer because he was first and that was the answer I was thinking of.

[Gil-Galad]

OOOOOHHOOOO <devilish laugh>


so now you have taken my old avatar? very clever, but you must pay...NO VISA!



anyway...

another easy one, name the holder of keys

[The Perky Ent]

If your talking about the Keys of Orthanc, Saruman.

[Gil-Galad]

close but no

[The Perky Ent]

If, as my sig says, the Keys to Barad-dur, Sauron?

[NightKnight]

Hurin of the Keys?

[Gil-Galad]

NightKnight has it! oh Perky, you try too hard

[NightKnight]

Who was said Hurin's grandson?

[The Perky Ent]

Hador?

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[Fingolfin II]

Orodreth?

[NightKnight]

Nay. I'm going away, so I'll just give you the answer. It was Theoden. Hurin's daughter was Morwen of Lossarnach, who married Thengel of Rohan. And Thengel's only son was Theoden. New question, anyone?

[Carnimírië]

Who told Théoden to turn back and go to Edoras?

[wilwarin538]

Aragorn?

[Fingolfin II]

Eomer?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Ceorl.

[Carnimírië]

Nilpaurion Felagund has it. Your turn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

In RotK, what made Théoden not turn back from Minas Tirith?

[Kath]

Because Ghan-buri-ghan gave him a way through to the city wihtout having to find the orcs on the way in?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Well, maybe, but, after he saw Minas Tirith burning, and decided to slink away, what happened that changed his mind?

[The Perky Ent]

Because Eowyn woulda got ticked off at him? I know it's wrong, but it's fun to ask.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Yep, Perks, it's wrong.

Come on, people! It's easy!

[Osse]

Firstly, a wind played with the kings hair, and stirred his heart somewhat from the dread he felt, THEN "there was a flash, as if lightening had sprung from the City. For a searing second it stood dazzling far off in the black and white, its topmost tower like a glittering needle; and then as the darkness closed again there came rolling over the fields a great boom ." Then suddenly, he became brave and battle hungry, one can only assume that this was sent by Gandalf, using his Elven Ring to stir the hearts of the Rohirrim. That, coupled with the wind, was what kept him from running off! :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The wind will be good.

Acceptable. :D Your turn.

[Gil-Galad]

anyones turn now...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Which Rohirric ancestor was the first to ride to Gondor's aid?

[Gil-Galad]

Eorl the Young?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Someone before him. Not Rohirric, but an ancestor of them.

You can get the answer from UT, in The Chronicles of Cirion and Éorl.

[Alcarillo]

Marhwini.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your turn. :)

[Alcarillo]

Which king of Gondor was killed fighting the Wainriders?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Narmacil II (or Ondoher).

[Alcarillo]

Yep. Your turn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

How many horses are there in an éored?

[Alcarillo]

No less than 120 men, and so, assuming 1 horse per man, there would be no less than 120 horses.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Back to you. :)

[Alcarillo]

Who was long remembered in the song of Rochon Methestel?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

( :D Have fun there! And steer clear of suspicious me. ;) )

Borondir Udalraph.

[Alcarillo]

Yep, Borondir Udralph is right. Your turn. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Who put the "Tradition of Isildur" on a scroll?

[Alcarillo]

That would be Rómendacil I.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Nice avvie. ;)

Yours.

[Alcarillo]

What did the seal of the Stewards look like?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The letters R-ND-R surmounted by three stars, signifying arandur (king's servant), steward.
UT III 2, footnote 25

[Alcarillo]

Yep. Your turn. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Did Éomund (father of Éomer King) have kingly blood, and if so, from whom?

[Alcarillo]

Nope, but Éomer's mother did.

[Alcarillo]

Wait! Éomund claimed descent from Brego, so yes, he did have royal blood.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Éomund descended from Brego King's third son Eofor.

Your turn. :)

[Alcarillo]

What was a full muster of cavalry called?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

An éoherë.

[Alcarillo]

Yep, your turn. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Where did Gondor build their forts for the defence of Calenardhon from the East?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Anyone?

[Alcarillo]

The Brown Lands?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You need to be more specific. It's a section of Anduin, near the Brown Lands, yes.

[Alcarillo]

The Undeeps.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You got it.

Thread is thine. :)

[Alcarillo]

What King of Rohan and what Steward of Gondor were ruling when Saruman first inhabited Orthanc?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Beren was the Steward, and . . . ummm . . . Helm's sister-son, Fréaláf was King.

[Alcarillo]

I'm a Shade now!

And yep, your turn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

At the rate you're going, you'd be a Ghost Prince in short while, and only for a little while since the Chief will give you a PT soon! I hope. :D

Enedwaith, who was the grandson of the King of Rhovanion that became King of Gondor?

[Alcarillo]

Was it Vinyarion, the grandson of Eldacar?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I meant the grandson of Vidumavi. :p

[Alcarillo]

Oh. I thought it was the King of Rhovanion who became King of Gondor, not the grandson. It was Aldamir.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Still wrong!

[Alcarillo]

The other grandson, Ornendil.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I should have said, "I meant the grandson of Vidugavia." This caused much confusion. I was looking for Eldacar.

*sigh* Ah, well, Ornendil was a grandson of Vidumavi. I guess I should give it to you.

Your turn. :)

[Alcarillo]

Who was the first ruling Steward?

[Carnimírië]

Mardil Voronwë.

[Alcarillo]

Aye, you got it, Carnimírië. Your turn.

[Carnimírië]

Who brought the shards of Narsil to Rivendell?

[Gil-Galad]

Ohtar, Esquire of Isildur

[Carnimírië]

Absolutely right. Your turn.

[Gil-Galad]

How did Anarion die and who did Isildur appoint head of Gondor after Anarions death?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Anárion's death was caused by a rock hurled from Barad-dûr.

Meneldil his son succeeded him as King of Gondor.

[Gil-Galad]

your turn Nilp!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Aside from Ohtar, what was the name of that other survivor from the disaster of the Gladden Fields?

[Carnimírië]

Estelmo, Elendur's esquire.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Thread is thine. :)

[Carnimírië]

Who was the last king of the Northern Line to take his name in Quenya?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Amlaith?

[Carnimírië]

Close, but nope.

[Telchar]

It could be Eärendur - Last king of Arnor...

btw - isn't this thread about Gondor and Rohan? ;)

[Carnimírië]

Yes that's the one.

I don't understand why my question dosn't fit with this thread. :confused:

[Gil-Galad]

Of Gondorians and Rohirrim...


:rolleyes:

[Telchar]

Who was responsible for the building of Henneth Annun and other refuges in Ithillien?


@Carnimírië: The northern line has nothing to do with Gondor and Rohan - but no problem :cool:

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Was it Steward Túrin II ? ? ?

[Telchar]

Ja, Den sku' være fin nok Rune - velkommen til dyssehøjene ;) Du stiller det næste spørgsmål.

And for those not familiar with Danish (guessing taht Rune is):
Correct - welcome to the Barrow Downs - you're up!

:)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Mange Tak.

OK, this is the first question i ask in the Barrow-Downs so maybe it is too easy.

Who was second in comand of the éored of westfold at the time of the war of the ring?

[Gil-Galad]

Eomer was it not?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Nope, but close.
Eomer was in charge of this éored, the job comes with the title:
Third Marshal of the Mark

[Gil-Galad]

Grimbold?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Not if remember corectly

But i have realised that this was a bad question. Becourse of the strange organisation of the rohirim. (Grimbold to have a title and comand of a part of the army from westfold)

So let's just move on, Gil-Galad you just take it.

[Gil-Galad]

alrighty then...


Name the foe that Gondorians battled twice, but one only one of those battles, and name who died at that battle

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Was it the wainriders ?

If it was then it was Narmacil II who died

[Gil-Galad]

aye the wainriders and that dude, your turn

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

OK.

I hope it's a better question this time. . .

Who removed the kings house to Minas Anor?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Tarondor. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

So it is.

Your turn

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

What was the name of Théoden's sword?

[The Perky Ent]

Would that be Herugrim?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Yep.

[The Perky Ent]

Following the same sort of topic...

What was the name of Theoden's horse?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Snowmane !

[The Perky Ent]

I yield the thread to you!
