Of Gondorians and Rohirrim...

[Gil-Galad]

here is a simple trivia about the Gondorians and the Rohirrim, so when it is your chance too give a question, say only questions that relate too the Gondorians and/or Rohirrim (remember to give explanation)


What was Theodens Bane?


(it is tricky)

[ September 10, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

[Evisse the Blue]

Snowmane?

[Gil-Galad]

(you have too give an explanation too yoru anwser)

[Evisse the Blue]

Oops, sorry, I missed that. Ok - Snowmane because in the middle of the battle he fell and crushed Theoden under him.

[Gil-Galad]

right you are it is your turn now...

[Evisse the Blue]

How is the language of the Rohirrim described?

[Beren87]

This isn't exact, but "Rolling like the hills of the land"?

[Evisse the Blue]

"Like the land - rich and rolling in part and else hard and stern as the mountains"
But okay - you can go. smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

Ah, I wouldn't have given to me. =P

At its height, what were Gondor's chief cities?

[Evisse the Blue]

Ah, Beren, I'm not so severe as you are smilies/wink.gif

Minas Arnor and Minas Ithil?

[Beren87]

That's two of them, you've got a few more to go.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Osgiliath, Minas Anor/Tirith, Minas Ithil, Dol Amroth, the ports of Pelargir and Umbar, Tharbad.

[Beren87]

All of them and even in the correct order. Your go, Master Windlord.

[Gil-Galad]

*bump*

[Gil-Galad]

GWAIHIR YOU THERE!!! if you don't post i'll pm you

[Gil-Galad]

yay my turn, thsi will be kinda crpytic

Server of the swift
Server of the White
Killer of the darkness raid
left i did, reclaimed i also did

[Gil-Galad]

tell me if you need hint...

[Holbytlass]

My stab at it, Eomer.
He served Theoden, horse-master (horses being swift)
Then served Gandalf (the white) after being exiled, thereby helping to stop the night raid of the Uruk-hai at Helm's Deep.
The last line I guess to be about him still serving Rohan even after being exiled and of course still serving when he is unexiled (?).
Okay, you can laugh now! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gil-Galad]

... in the book Eomer wasn't exiled, good try but no


Hint: server of the high sun

[Gil-Galad]

need another hint? if you read the appendices you would know..seesh super important the person my cryptic question is about!

(i need help with grammer)

[Gil-Galad]

Server of the swift
Server of the White
Server of the high sun
Killer of the darkness raid
slayer of my dark kin
left i did, reclaimed i also did


(there added another one)

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

GWAIHIR YOU THERE!!! if you don't post i'll pm you
I appreciate that you were considering doing that, Gil-Galad, even if you didn't actually bother. But anyway, in future. If you can't grab my attention on the thread - PMing me will always bring me here within a day, so next time I lose track please let me know!

(I tend to forget about them after I've answered, you see. Display of terrible absent-mindedness but there you go.)

As for your question - could it be Gandalf?
Server of the swift: Not too sure about this one, but Shadowfax or Gwaihir perhaps?
Server of the White: Saruman
Server of the High Sun: 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor'
Killer of the darkness raid: Light-bringing, piercing shadows of Nazgul
Slayer of my dark kin: The slaying of the Balrog
Left I did, reclaimed I also did: Left the Undying Lands, found them again.

[Gil-Galad]

a very good anwser but sadly no.. keep trying! and sorry about not PMing you, i forget thsi thread... my bad

[ October 06, 2003: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

[Gil-Galad]

Server of the swift
Server of the White
Server of the high sun
Killer of the darkness raid
slayer of my dark kin
left i did after i've done my duty, reclaimed i also did

[Arestevana]

Is it Aragorn?
Specifically when he served in Minas Tirith under a different name?
Server of the swift- I don't know this one
Server of the White- Gandalf? Or the White Tower?
Server of the high sun- Minas Anor, tower of the sun, I believe.
Killer of the darkness raid-
slayer of my dark kin
left i did after i've done my duty, reclaimed i also did- He left the city after serving there, then returned as king

I'm probably wrong, but that's my guess...

[Gil-Galad]

you have to anwser all reasons

[Beren87]

No you don't, you can just answer what you think you can, then comment on what they have so far.

[miellien]

Still Aragorn-
Server of the swift- he served with the Rohirrim before going to Gondor.
The "Dark Kin"- the men at Umbar that he drove away so he could take the ships.

[Gil-Galad]

... IT IS ARAGORN, I NEED THE NAME HE USED BEFORE HE MET FRODO!!!!!!! and reasons

[The Saucepan Man]

Gil-Galad, I think that you are expecting rather too much in the way of answers to your questions. Yes, you are of course entitled to insist on the correct name being given (which I agree has not yet been given on the current question). And you are also entitled to expect some explanation of your clue when it is in riddle or cryptic form.

But, I think that once you get the right answer and some (even if not a complete) explanation of how it was arrived at, then it's time to move on to the next question. You do not need every part of the clue explained (you can always explain any parts of the clue that remain a mystery yourself when you confirm the answer). Otherwise the thread tends to drag and people might get put off.

Also, please try to avoid making 2 or 3 posts in a row. It's often better simply edit your original post.

Thanks. smilies/smile.gif

[Gil-Galad]

all i want is the right anwser and good explanations, what really bugs me is people guessign with out an educated guess

[miellien]

Don't get your knickers in a twist. Estel, Thorongil, Dunadan, Strider, Aragorn, and Elessar. "A rose by any other name..." to quote another literary great... smilies/eek.gif

[Gil-Galad]

... THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME EVEN MORE MAD! LIEK I SAID I DON'T LIKE PPL GUESSING LIEK YOU JUST DID!! ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!

[The Saucepan Man]

Cut that out, you two. The Forum Policies (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=001174) make it clear that there is to be no flaming, trolling or insulting. So please calm down or you will risk having your posting privileges revoked.

Now, Gil-Galad, it seems to me that miellien has given the correct answer and sufficient explanation of your clue. Would you not agree that he or she may now continue?

[miellien]

That's ok. SHE (that would be me) was playing for fun, but this is obviously a much more serious endeavor for some people. Please continue without me. smilies/cool.gif

[Gil-Galad]

i will anwser it then any one can go
Thorongil

Server of the swift- Served Thengel, lord of Rohan
Server of the White- served the white council
Server of the high sun- served Steward of Minas Tirith
Killer of the darkness raid- stopped the dark numneroens raids on Gondor
slayer of my dark kin- killed Umbar captain
left i did after i've done my duty,- left after he finished with umbar
reclaimed i also did- reclaime the throne

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

I'll take the go that I should have had earlier, then smilies/smile.gif.

Why couldn't Gondor come to aid of Helm Hammerhand?

[Gil-Galad]

They were being seiged by the Corsiars of Umbar and the Balcoth? (maybe just teh corsairs)

[Finwe]

They were struggling with the Fell Winter themselves, and many things perished in Gondor, including the White Tree.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Yes, it was just the Corsairs. Your turn, Gil-galad.

[ October 12, 2003: Message edited by: Gwaihir the Windlord ]

[Gil-Galad]

When Legolas saw this person, he felt some elvish in his vains

[Finwe]

Imrahil?

[Gil-Galad]

Righti-o your turn!!!

[Finwe]

All right then!

Who renewed an oath, loved the other's lady, spent the rest of his days with a flower-creature, and wore part of a animal you ride?

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Eomer?

[Finwe]

Right-o!

[Gil-Galad]

*Bump*

[Beren87]

Well past 10 days.

What did Ghan-buri-Ghan refer to Theoden as?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Ghan-buri-ghan called Theoden father of horse-men. Am I correct?

[Beren87]

You've got it.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Thank you Beren.
Next question
What was the height of the deeping wall at Helms Deep?

[Telchar]

It was as I remember it 20 feet high... or maybe it was 20 fanthoms smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yes Telchar it is 20 feet. Your turn

[Telchar]

What did the letters R·ND·R mean?

[NightKnight]

Eärendur?

[Telchar]

Well - no - but good guess! The R ND R in question was used as a title used in inscription.

[Telchar]

HINT: these letters were inscriped onto three, maybe6, little stones...

[Gil-Galad]

another hint maybe?

[Telchar]

HINT? ok: It closely concerns the combined topic of this thread and their history together

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Each of the message-bearers sent by Cirion to Eorl, King of the Northmen, bore a 'small stone incised with the seal of the Stewards' -- in an author's note, 'The letters R.ND.R surmounted by three stars, signifying arandur (king's servant), steward.'

[Telchar]

So precise so precise smilies/wink.gif go on Windlord

[Gil-Galad]

seesh i have to use up gwaihirs spots

which part of gondor was made before gondor came?(settlement)

[NightKnight]

Are you looking for Pelargir?

[Gil-Galad]

nope guess again!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Elven Haven in present Dol Amroth?

[Gil-Galad]

yep! sure!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

OK...

Made his last song, for the last day of the last of his lord's line...

[Arestevana]

Gleowine, Theoden's minstrel.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You're right, Arestevana!

Your turn... smilies/cool.gif

[Arestevana]

What is the name of the stream forming an eastern border of Rohan?

[Telchar]

The Merring Stream

[NightKnight]

Entwash?

[Arestevana]

Thirteen minutes!? smilies/eek.gif

Telchar, you may continue. smilies/wink.gif

[Telchar]

The story of Cirion and Eorl is one of my favorites, so I should be fast on that one smilies/wink.gif


What happend to the Elder brother of the Third king of the Mark ?

[Gil-Galad]

wasn't he killed by a wild boar?

[Telchar]

nope... thats not him

[Lindolirian]

Baldor sought the Paths fo the Dead and never returned.

[Telchar]

Correct as always Lindolirian - go on

[Lindolirian]

A little about the King of Rohan who reigned from 2741-2759. Who (besides himself) was intrumental in giving him his nickname... and how did he (the King) die?

[Sleepy Ranger]

The king of Rohan at that time was Helm Hammerhand. He perished in the long winter. And could it possibly be Freca?

[Gil-Galad]

he was called Hammerhand becaseu the Dunlendings say that he stalks teh UDnelndings at night and kills them with his bare hands

[Telchar]

<---- puts his money on sleepy ranger and his Freca reference from The Appendics to LOTR

[Lindolirian]

How much did you wager Telchar? You won the bet! smilies/wink.gif
Nice work Sleepy Ranger. Have at it!

[Sleepy Ranger]

Ok, so next question.
Who had the longest reign of the kings of Gondor?

[Gil-Galad]

well in the appendices it says Aragorn, so thats who i'll say

[Sleepy Ranger]

Nope, It ain't Aragorn.

[Thalonhision]

Maybe Tarondor...!

[Telchar]

Maybe? smilies/wink.gif

[Mahal]

Hyarmendacil ?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Maybe Tarondor...!
Tarondor it is.
Heres the exact quote-
Tarondor, coming young to the throne; had the longest reign of all the kings of Gondor

So, Thalonishion its youre turn.

[Thalonhision]

Weee, so its my turn...
Well, my question is;Tarondor ruled longest in Gondor, but which ruler of Rohan had the longest reign? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Telchar]

It could well be Eomer...

[Thalonhision]

nope, it aint Eomer! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sleepy Ranger]

Aldor the old? 75 years

[Thalonhision]

Aldor the old? 75 years
Aldor the Old is correct, and he ruled for 75 years.

Its your turn Sleepy Ranger! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sleepy Ranger]

Whih King of Rohan won great honour in the service of Turgon?

[Telchar]

Freawine?

[ 5:03 PM November 28, 2003: Message edited by: Telchar ]

[Sleepy Ranger]

Nope.

[NightKnight]

Thengel?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yep thats it. NightKnight has it.

[Gil-Galad]

*bump*

[NightKnight]

Sorry, I haven't had much time to play the last week. Anyway, here's the next question:

In what year did Gondor lose Minas Ithil?

[Telchar]

Gondor lost Minas Ithil twice, in SA3429 and again TA2002

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 4:04 PM December 07, 2003: Message edited by: Telchar ]

[Gil-Galad]

[NightKnight]

TA2002 was what I was looking for. Please continue. smilies/smile.gif

[Telchar]

Which King of Rohan was 'childless'

[Gil-Galad]

what do you mean? died without a child or never bear one?

[Telchar]

Must be the latter must it not?

[Finwe]

Hmmm... I'm guessing either Helm Hammerhand or Theoden Ednew.

But then again, both of their sons were killed.

[Gil-Galad]

Elfwine becasue they never said his son in the books!

[Telchar]

Correct answer Finwë

[Finwe]

Which King of Rohan served another kingdom?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Thengel, son of Fengel.

[Finwe]

Right-o!

[Luthien_Anwamane]

theodon's bane is his horse snowmane, who fell on his master during the battle w/ the witchking and its fell beast

[Gil-Galad]

Hello! and welcome to the downs! may i ask why you suddenly posted that which may be the first question too this thread! oh yah read the Quiz Room Rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000386)

[Gil-Galad]

*bump* your go naulpirion!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

It's Nilpaurion!!!

OK, he wedded Mithrellas, and became father of the first lord of Dol Amroth. Who was he?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Imrazôr the Númenórean.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Correct! Your turn... smilies/wink.gif

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Who was the last King of Gondor before the interregnum?

[Lindolirian]

Can't be as simple as Eärnur, can it?

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 4:17 PM January 04, 2004: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

[nobody]

Ondoher?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Actually you're both right, there were two interregnums, and I didn't specify which one I was talking about...
Any of you can go!

[Lindolirian]

What was the western boundry of The Mark of Rohan?

Hint: Not the Isen

[symestreem]

At what time? Cirion's gift to the Rohirrim was indeed bounded by the Isen on the west.

[Lord of Angmar]

The North-South Road?

[Lindolirian]

True, the Isen was part of the western border, but most of it was actually a northern border. The border that I'm talking about is, more specifically, a south-western border. And I don't mean the White Mountains either.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

The bounds of the realm of Eorl were to be: in the West the river Angren from its junctio with the Adorn and thence northwards to the outer fences of Angrenost.
I would suppose you mean by south-west border the river Adorn.
Greetings,
EfR

[Lindolirian]

Very good, Mr. Of Rivendell!

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Thank you Lindolirian.

What hill did the Rohirrim call "the Holy Mountain"?

Okay, okay, it was my first question ever posted on this forum. I hope it wasn't to easy for you Lindolirian. smilies/biggrin.gif But of course, you are perfectly correct. Please proceed.
Greetings,
EfR

[Lindolirian]

What marriage was the spark that started the Kin-strife?

[Elrond of Rivendell]

The marriage between King Valacar and Vidumavi, the daughter of Vidugavia (a Northman). Valacar's son Eldacar was only of half-Gondorian descent, a fact that Castamir used to reclaim the throne.

[Lord of Angmar]

King Valacar and Vidumavi?
[EDIT]: Apologies, didn't see EoR post a few minutes before me.

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 5:08 PM January 12, 2004: Message edited by: Lord of Angmar ]

[Lindolirian]

Correct, of Rivendell. Alas, for ye of Angmar, I know the feeling.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

How many messengers did Cirion send to the Éothéod and which of them was able to deliver the message to Eorl?

[Lindolirian]

Six, but only Borondir was able to make it.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Correct Lindolirian. Your turn.

[Lindolirian]

When did the news of the northern assualt of the Wainriders reach Ondoher?

[Elrond of Rivendell]

12th of Cermie, 1944

[Lindolirian]

Right on.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Thanks Lindolirian.

Who brought the mearas from the West over the Sea? (Name in the speech of the Northmen)

Greetings,
EfR

[Lindolirian]

Béma, who was also called Oromë.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Perfectly correct. smilies/smile.gif
Your go Lindolirian.

[Lindolirian]

In which battle did Ugluk and his company "flee"?

[Gil-Galad]

Battle/Ambush of Amon Hen?

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 5:26 PM January 15, 2004: Message edited by: Gil-Galad ]

[Lindolirian]

Hundreds vs. one is hardly a battle. Hint: They never participated in the battle. Just ran right on by.

[Thorongil]

When the Rohirrim killed the orcs near Fangorn?

[Lindolirian]

Nay, Ugluk and his troop certainly participated in that one.

[Gil-Galad]

...Grinzazh(sp) and the hobbits? he was trying to protect them for saruman but grisnazh wanted to eat them and ugluk "fleed" to counter the rohrrim attack

[Lindolirian]

No, it was the whole troop of Isengarders. I put "fleed" in quotations because they really didn't flee, it just seemed like they did.
Think! This is Of Gondorians and Rohirrim.

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 4:53 PM January 17, 2004: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

[symestreem]

Could have been the battle of the Fords of Isen, at which Theodred fell?

[Lindolirian]

Yes, you are correct.

[symestreem]

Who was the "dark maiden"?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Morwen?
Mor-Dark
Wen-Maiden

So is it Morwen?

[Finwe]

Morwen of Lossarnach, who wedded Thengel, and brought Gondorian blood into the "Royal Family"?

[symestreem]

You are both correct. I am giving it to Finwe, because he specified which Morwen. There were two, Morwen Fengel's wife and Morwen Tuor's mother.

[Finwe]

(Actually, I'm a "she." *waits for horrified gasp* smilies/biggrin.gif)


All right... hmm...

Which long-fated King of Rohan had a name that rhymed with his ill-fated brother's?

[NightKnight]

*Horrified gasp smilies/eek.gif*

Anyway, is it Aldor?

[Finwe]

Yes indeed. Your go.

[NightKnight]

Thank you.

Who led the army that was sent out after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, to destroy the army that tried to block rohirrims way?

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Elfhelm led the main strength of the Rohirrim against the enemy that was in Anorien?

EfR

[NightKnight]

Yeah, he did. Next question, please.

[Gil-Galad]

An easy one... Who worked on Meduseld (started and completed)

[Arvedui III]

That would be Brego, son of Eorl.

[Gil-Galad]

I'll except that, i was looking for Eorl started it and Brego completed it, your go!

[Arvedui III]

Ok then. Herm...here's an easy one: Which Rohirrim has a tie to the house of Hurin?

[NightKnight]

Helm's son Haleth?

[Arvedui III]

Good guess, but no.

[Erebeth]

Hmmm...Fram, because he slew a dragon?

[Arvedui III]

Sorry, no. Hint: I'm asking about the House of Hurin, not Hurin Thalion's line.

[Erebeth]

Thengel, then, because of his wife Morwen of Lossarnach, one of the second House of Hurin, that of the Stewards.

[Arvedui III]

I was thinking of Eowyn, but Thengel works nicely too. Well done, and welcome to the Downs. :)

[Erebeth]

Thanks for the welcome! I do have a tendency to overthink things...

Who was the mother of Galador?

[Finwe]

Mithrellas

[Erebeth]

Correct, of course. Your go.

[Finwe]

All right...


I killed a mighty foe, but killed over that foe's teeth.

[Lindolirian]

Fram who killed scath the Worm, but was killed by the Dwarves because of his insult in sending them Scatha's teeth when they demanded for their share of the treasure.

[Finwe]

Yup.


These guys never learn, do they? First Thingol and now Fram. *sighs*

[Lindolirian]

What office did Elfwine's grandfather hold in the Riddermark?

[Arvedui III]

Herm, Elfwine's grandfather would be Eomund, who was a marshal of the Mark.

[Lindolirian]

Aye, that be it.

[Arvedui III]

Thankya. Herm... Name three times that the Rohirrim came to the aid of Gondor.

[Lindolirian]

When Marwhini assisted Calimehtar in ousting the Wainriders
The Ride of Eorl
The Battle of Pelennor Fields

[luthien-elvenprincess]

In 2510 at the Field of Celebrant

When the Haradrim assailed Gondor in about 2885

On the Fields of Pelennor in 3019

[Arvedui III]

Very good examples, all. However, Lindolirian got there first. Your go. :)

[Lindolirian]

How was Tarostar slain, and who aveneged his death?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Tarostar (Romendacil I) was the eighth King of Gondor, son of Ostoher. He died in battle with Easterlings.

[NightKnight]

Luthien, you forgot something. He was avenged by his son Turambar.

[Lindolirian]

Well you are both partially correct, but I will give it too luthien since she had it first.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Ahhhh, so I did! Thank you. Now, my turn.

Who overthrew the Captain of the Haven?

[Gil-Galad]

Thorongil, or aragorn as they say, but he more arnorin

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Yeppers, Gil-Galad. That was fast...did I make it too easy or are you incredibly smart?;) :p
Your turn.

[Gil-Galad]

well... pobody's nerfect


Name the stewards who took names from Elves of Old

[symestreem]

Voronwe, Dior, Denethor, Ecthelion, Turgon, Ecthelion (again... but no numeral, hmm) Denethor again. Incidentally, there was a Steward, Thorondir, who appears to have taken his name after the King of the Eagles.

[Gil-Galad]

the lord of the eagles was Thorondor, with an o, but none hte less your go symestream

[Arvedui III]

*Bump*

Symestreem?

[symestreem]

Who was Earnur's paternal grandfather? Give a five-minute presentation on his hobbies. ;)
For brownie points, translate the grandfather's name.

[NightKnight]

Siriondil, and I think his name means "faithful to Sirion" or something similar. Well, his hobbies were...nah, I'll leave that to someone else. ;)

[symestreem]

Correct, nocturnal warrior. Actually, I believe the literal translation is 'lover of Sirion'. He enjoyed cooking and orcslaying.

[NightKnight]

Thank you. Those are hobbies everyone should have. ;)

So, name five of Gondor's cities.

[Gil-Galad]

Minas Anor, Dol Amroth, Osgiliath, Tharbad, Minas Ithil, Pelargir, once had Umbar but lost it...Lossanarch

[NightKnight]

Lossarnach is a region, but all the others are correct. Your turn. :)

[Gil-Galad]

you would think ppl would build farms on there?



Gondor was once a unique(sp?) race name the two people who "mingled" together and there fathers, who caused an uproar in Gondor

[Nirvana II]

Rohirrim and Numenoreans (or Gondorians)........and i love your new avatar Gil

[Lindolirian]

Valacar son of Romendacil II wed Vidumavi daughter of Vidugavia. The product of their union was Eldacar, a royal heir who was not full-blooded Gondorian, a problem which sparked the Kin-Strife.

[Gil-Galad]

The World's tallest hobbit has it!

[Lindolirian]

How old was Rohan when Saruman first came to Isengard?

[NightKnight]

249 years.

[Lindolirian]

21 years older than the US of A... Correct!

[NightKnight]

So...hmmm...What was the middle beacon of Gondor?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

;)

[NightKnight]

Exactly. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

OK then...

There were three éored commanders during the ride of the Rohirrim to Minas Tirith. Name the one who fell on battle.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Grimbold was the Marshall of the Mark who fell in that battle.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

:)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

The Lord of the Dark Tower had a weapon against Gondor that was said to be swifter than hunger. What is this weapon?

[Arestevana]

I believe it was the fear and despair inspired by the Nazgul.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Half correct Arestevana. Very close but not quite;)

[symestreem]

Dread and despair. And also falling heads.

[Gil-Galad]

Better be careful about that post Nilpaurion, the admin might think of it as spamming and you might get a stiff warning(i mean STIFF!) it happened to me before, so i suggest that you delete that post...anyways.... to the question.... is it teh Great eye that pierces the souls of people, like boromir said in the movie, it is ever watching, it never sleeps and it knows all

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Yes, symestreem. Dread and despair are the correct answers.;)
But a few falling heads thrown in also would make a huge impact.;)

[symestreem]

Who was the great-granddaughter of Narmacil II?

[The Perky Ent]

A. is it Minalcar?

[NightKnight]

Firiel.

[symestreem]

NightKnight has it.

[NightKnight]

Who was Elfwine's grandfathers?

[The Perky Ent]

Would it be Eomund and Imrahil?

[NightKnight]

It would very much be them. Your turn. :)

*poke thrice*

[The Perky Ent]

I was the beginning to a place that stretched to the tower and the tomb, and died to be rebuild by the short of the nine! Weird, but cool!

[symestreem]

Something with Minas Tirith and Pippin?

[The Perky Ent]

possibly...yes it does have to do with Minas Tirith, that would be the tower and the tomb, and pippin has to do with it, but you haven't said the correct answer!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The gate to Fen Hollen?

[Thorongil]

I don't even know what Fen Hollen is, but to me it seems like the answer is the front gate of Minas Tirith. If this is the same gate is Nilpaurion posted, I apologize.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Fen Hollen is the Silent Street, where the dead kings of Gondor are enbalmed to be turned into creepy statue-thingies on a marble bed.

[The Perky Ent]

I kinda forgot about this thread! Thorongil, you are right, in the fact that it is the gate of minas tirith. It is the entrance to minas tirith and was destoryed, but gimli rebuilt it! The thread is yours!

[Thorongil]

How many men left the Armies of the West on their way to the Black Gate to retake Cair Andros?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Let's see...there's Bill and Tom, and Jerry and Simon, and Peter and Zack...hmmm...less than a thousand?

[NightKnight]

Wasn't it around 500?

[Thorongil]

Nilpaurion is closest. Btw, you dont have to name them all.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

The Armies of the WEst began with 7000; less than 6000 were left to challenge the Black Gate. Some men were left at the Crossroads to guard, others left to fight at Cair Andros.

[Thorongil]

That's what I'm looking for! Go ahead.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Who was buried by the river Poros after a battle there. What is the name of the mound?

[symestreem]

Wasn't it Folcred and Fastred? They were buried in a single mound, according to the fashion of the Rohirrim; and the mound long kept people enemies from crossing the river. But... I... can't...remember... the name!!! :mad:

Three cheers for Google... is it the Haudh in Gwanur?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

:D you are right!

[symestreem]

Name both ways in which Aragorn et al had a claim by blood to the throne of Gondor.

[alaklondewen]

Aragorn was a direct descendant of Isildur, Erendil's son through Arathorn, Aragorn's father. He was also a direct descendant of Arvedui, the last King, through his mother, Gilraen. This would give Aragorn two direct bloodlines to the thrown of Gondor.
