Creation

[Diamond18]

This is my first suggestion for a new quiz thread, so be kind, eh? On that rather pathetic note...

In this quiz you ask who created a certain object, place, or wrote a book or poem, etc. Basically, whatever was created by a character (or characters).

For instance, Q: Who forged the one Ring? A: Sauron. (An easy one, yeah yeah). Try to be as specific as possible.

So, I'll start it off with:

Who crafted the Nauglamír?

[Pallando B.C]

Telchar

[Diamond18]

Nope, I don't think so... I believe it was a group effort, so I was looking for a people of a certain reigon...

[piosenniel]

Made by the Dwarves of the Ered Luin

[Diamond18]

Correcto, oh Desultory one. Your turn. smilies/smile.gif

[piosenniel]

Eagles

[Diamond18]

Manwë and Yavanna.

[piosenniel]

Continue, please.

[Diamond18]

Who forged the Three Elven Rings?

[Beren87]

The smiths of Ost-in-Edhil?

[Diamond18]

One person this time.

[Beren87]

Sheesh, make my life difficult smilies/rolleyes.gif

Celebrimbor

[Diamond18]

Hey, says in the Sil that "they were forged by Celebrimbor alone". We must be picky whenever possible. smilies/biggrin.gif

Your turn.

[Beren87]

Yes yes, make me read two paragraphs instead of one.

The Lonely Troll

[Diamond18]

Samwise Gamgee.

[Beren87]

That would be everyone's favorite Hobbit. (well, almost everyone)

[Diamond18]

Who raised up Númenor?

[Manardariel]

The Valar, under Iluvatars command.

[Diamond18]

Nope, sorry.

[Pallando B.C]

By Ossë, in the depths of the Great Water.

[Diamond18]

'Twas indeed Ossë, a Maia of Ulmo. Proceed.

[Pallando B.C]

Who wrote (created) Old Words?

[ February 11, 2003: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Rumil?

[Beren87]

Ah, if you mean the book then it was Merry Brandybuck.

[Pallando B.C]

Ah, it was Beren.

[Beren87]

Alritey!

The Gûl.

[Pallando B.C]

Gees, not sure.
Maybe Sauron, the Nine Rings or the One Ring.

By Gûl, I assume you mean Nazgûl?

[ February 11, 2003: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]

[Beren87]

Ah, no, I mean Gûl which are the servants of Sauron. But your correct of course, you're turn.

[ February 11, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[Pallando B.C]

Yes, I was a bit confused then.

Tengwar.

[ February 12, 2003: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]

[Beren87]

Everyone's favorite word-smith Rumil! Then later reworked by Fëanor.

[Pallando B.C]

Yes, I would not have accepted the answer as just Fëanor, so well done Beren.

[Beren87]

Half-Orcs (probably, they were at least used predominantly by this person)

[Annunfuiniel]

Saruman?

[Diamond18]

If you mean Uruk-hai it was Sauron.

[Beren87]

Nein, Uruk-Hai and Half-orcs were defenitly not the same thing.

It was Saruman.

[Annunfuiniel]

Whee, feels good to be right! smilies/wink.gif
OK, how about Illuin and Ormal?

[Beren87]

The lamps of the Valar were wrought by Aulë, filled with light by Varda, and Hallowed by Manwë.

[Annunfuiniel]

Great job Beren! I would have been satisfied with just Aulë, though. smilies/smile.gif

[ February 16, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

[Beren87]

Eh, just thought I'd learn something while answering these.

The Ring of Barahir

[Diamond18]

Would that be Finrod Felagund? See, I know he gave it to Barahir...but did he make it?

[Beren87]

Well, I don't think it ever says exactly, but that's the most logical person. In general it was just the Noldor.

[Diamond18]

Okay. Well, then...

The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen

[alaklondewen]

Barahir?

[Diamond18]

Yup, yup, yup. (And just for the record, this Barahir is a different one from the one with the ring.)

Please proceed down the yellow brick road.

[alaklondewen]

You are right, I should have been more specific. This Barahir was Faramir's grandson. On to the next creation...

Rothinzil

[Pallando B.C]

Build by Eärendil with the help
of Cirdan.

[alaklondewen]

Yes, he built his own ship. Your turn.

[Pallando B.C]

Ormal

[Beren87]

Already been said, The lamps of the Valar were wrought by Aulë, filled with light by Varda, and Hallowed by Manwë.

[Pallando B.C]

Ok then, already been said....

Then your answer has already been writen.

[Beren87]

-_^

I suppose it's my turn now...

Menegroth

[Annunfuiniel]

Built by dwarves of Belegost for king Thingol.

[Beren87]

Correct!

[Diamond18]

Oh, Annunfuiniel....

[Annunfuiniel]

Sorry everyone for keeping you waiting, I totally forgot I had answered on this thread! smilies/rolleyes.gif
Thanks Earwen for reminding. smilies/smile.gif

Ok then,
Vinyamar.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Since I'm an idiot I'm going to guess Turgon??

[Annunfuiniel]

Since I'm an idiot I'm going to guess Turgon??

You guessed right! Who looks like an idiot now, I'm just wondering... smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

[elven maiden Earwen]

wow cool. Since im an idiot still I'm doing an easy one.

ENT

[Annunfuiniel]

Created at the prayer of Yavanna.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Good job you are correct!!

[Annunfuiniel]

How about Gurthang?

[Pallando B.C]

Made by Eöl, given to Thingol, then to Beleg and then reforged by Túrin in Nargothrond.

[Annunfuiniel]

I was looking for the reforging part but I believe it was a group effort.

[Pallando B.C]

Can I proceed?

[Annunfuiniel]

Yes, please go ahead! smilies/smile.gif
Btw. if I remember right the exact correct answer was something like the smiths of Nargothrond...

[Pallando B.C]

Ilúvatar

[Beren87]

Humm...you've stumped me.

THe Flame Imperishable perhaps? That was really his spirit...so he'd be creating himself, but its a guess.

[Pallando B.C]

This answer difficult, yet incredibly easy!

[The Saucepan Man]

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien?

... or is that cheating? smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Pallando B.C]

Not at all smilies/wink.gif . Your Go.

[Beren87]

Oh that was cruel smilies/tongue.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

Harsh but fair. smilies/wink.gif

How about Silima?

[Manardariel]

That´s the stuff the simlmarils are made off, ain´t it? Sooo....

Feanor, with the indirect help of Aule and Yavanna?

[The Saucepan Man]

Too true, Diamond. In fact, Feanor would have sufficed.

Your up ...

[Manardariel]

I´m confused.
Is it my turn, or were you talking to Diamond18, because if you were, I can´t see her post! smilies/rolleyes.gif
Sorry if I´m being stupid! smilies/confused.gif

[Diamond18]

I think it's your turn, Manardariel, as I can't see my post either. smilies/wink.gif

[Manardariel]

Ok then... lets see...

Belthil

[Pallando B.C]

Turgon in Gondolin

[Manardariel]

yup! ok, that was far too easy... smilies/tongue.gif

[Pallando B.C]

Maybe for some! smilies/cool.gif

the Stars

[alaklondewen]

Varda?

[Pallando B.C]

Yes it was! Proceed.

[alaklondewen]

Great!

Illuin

[Pallando B.C]

Aulë

[alaklondewen]

Yes, and with a little help from his friends. You're up.

[Pallando B.C]

Lembas

[Faenaduial]

Melian

[Elfhelm]

Ummmmm...Eru Illuvatar?

[Pallando B.C]

Melian it is!

[Faenaduial]

Anarrima.

[Beren87]

Varda in preperation for the awakening of the elves.

[Faenaduial]

Right you are. Your turn.

[Beren87]

The Hay Gate.

(It doesn't say specifically, but considering where it was at, it was probably made by this race.)

[Faenaduial]

Made by the Hobbits, I think in the area of Buckland.

[Pallando B.C]

Beren is away, so I will continue the thread.

The Palantrí

[Faenaduial]

Made by Feanor.

[Pallando B.C]

Yes!

[Faenaduial]

Hope this one wasn't used already:

Galvorn

[Pallando B.C]

It has I think, but no need to worry, this is a limited thread anyway!

Eöl is the answer.

[Faenaduial]

Of course, your right Pallando. Your turn again. smilies/smile.gif

[Pallando B.C]

Thank You!

The Dwarves

[Annunfuiniel]

Created by Aulë the Smith.

[Pallando B.C]

Yup!

[Annunfuiniel]

Great! smilies/smile.gif
Now, how about (the 2nd) Elendilmir?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

the Elven-smiths of Imladris? or is that the first one?

[Annunfuiniel]

Yes, perfect answer! I would think that the origin of the first Elendilmir is quite unknown.
Ok, Lyra, the stage is yours! smilies/smile.gif

[Lyra Greenleaf]

OK, thanks.#

who founded Karnigul?

[alaklondewen]

Elrond and the Noldor?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Parfait! I thought the Westron name might throw people but no! Everyone is just too Tolkien knowledgable around here.

Your turn...

[alaklondewen]

Thank you.

The Great Music

[Beren87]

Eru, the Vala, and the Maiar

[ March 20, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[alaklondewen]

Yes, of course. I knew that was too easy, but I'm running out of ideas on this thread. Your turn, Beren. smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

It wasn't too easy, I almost forgot to put Maiar.

North Stair.

[Diamond18]

'Twould be the grunting men of Gondor, I believe.

[Beren87]

Heaving, grunting, and stumbling, all adjectives apply to those clumsy mortals.

Your turn Diamond.

[Diamond18]

*grunts* Okay...

Thellamie

[The Saucepan Man]

Bilbo. He used it as a made-up name for an Elvish kingdom in one of his poems.

[Diamond18]

Correctomundo. Your turn, oh Saucy Man.

[The Saucepan Man]

Yay! Cheers, Di. smilies/smile.gif Next up:

Hithaeglir

[elven maiden Earwen]

the valar

[Lyra Greenleaf]

or is it melkor?

[The Saucepan Man]

Correct, Lyra. Melkor it is. smilies/smile.gif

Hithaeglir the is Sindarin name for the Misty Mountains, which Melkor is said to have raised as a barrier against potential foes.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Okey-dokey:

Who created Isil?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

The flower was "made" by Telperion, the vessel it rode in was made by Aule, Varda set it in the sky, and Tilion drove it... somewhere in there I've got to have hit the right answer smilies/wink.gif

[piosenniel]

The Valar

Yavanna and Nienna nurtured the last remnants of the Two Trees. And from Telperion
came the Silver Flower which Yavanna set in the vessel given her by the other Valar to bring light to Arda, now darkened by the deeds of Melkor.

These things the valar did, recalling in their twilight the darkness of the lands of Arda; and they resolved now to illumine Middle-earth and with the light to hinder the deeds of Melkor . . . Therefore the Valar sent forth Light . . . - The Silmarillion, Ballantine 2001, p. 110-111.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Wow, quotes and everything! But Sophia is right first. Your go

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Sorry it's been so long!

Who made Palarran?

[Beren87]

Palarran was a ship built by Tar-Aldarion [I'll admit, I had to look it up to see who it was built by, but I did know what it was!]

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

smilies/rolleyes.gif I had to look up something that hadn't been asked before... so I guess that makes us even...

Your go, Beren

Sophia

[Beren87]

Oh well, I never claimed to know everything.

Mithlond is the next subject!

[Eruanna]

Cirdan?

[Beren87]

It is assumed he did. Correct!

[Eruanna]

Who created Nulukkizdîn?

[alquadae]

[Eruanna]

Yep, good old Finrod Felagund.

"Elostirion Tallest of the towers upon Emyn Beraid,in which the palantir was placed . 292
PP292 "Three Elendil took,and his sons took two.Those of Elendil were set in towers upon Emyn Beraid,"So, even though the area was under the influence of Gil-galad I would go with Elendil.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

I'm reading straight from Silm. (unless HoME contradicts me somewhere that I'm not aware of) it was not Elendil who built the towers smilies/wink.gif

Sophia

We'll, that is what they learned after the awakening, so it's almost defeniatly the first.

And it was taught to them by Aulë.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Splendid smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

Who devised the Olórë Mallë?

[Beren87]

Sweet!

Esse.

[alquadae]

Esse I believe is Quenya for "name" Are you asking who created names?

[Beren87]

Esse does mean name, however it's also the name of something else.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Isn't that the name of a Maiar? If it is then they would have ben created by Iluvatar? Right.

[Beren87]

Nope, not that name of a Maiar.

[alquadae]

Blessed realm ?

That has a very large chance of being correct, and since nothing is certain, I'll give it to you.
