Númenórean Trivia

[nobody]

This is just for questions about the Númenóreans. Please post questions and answers in Bold
Who was the brother of Parmaitë?

[Gil-Galad]

Men of Numenor (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000485)
is the thread which is exactly liek this one! now for sauceman to do his job!... sauceman? hello? here i goe to fidn him again...

[The Saucepan Man]

sauceman? hello?

Much as it may surprise you, Gil, I do not lurk on-line every hour of the day. smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

Actually, the other thread is for questions on the people of Numenor, whereas this looks to be a trivia game about Numenor generally. Although this one will inevitably involve questions about the people of Numenor, there is nevertheless a difference. Since it is not a duplicate, therefore, I will leave this thread open.

So, nobody's question stands (if you take my meaning smilies/wink.gif ).

[Lord of Angmar]

Earendur?

[nobody]

Yes. You can ask questions about Númenórean women here and questions about Númenórë itself here, like its geography, the places in it and other names for it etc.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Sorry to put myself at risk of sounding a smartarse, but what about questions on Numenorian men?

[Silmarien]

May I ask a question since Lord of Angmar hasn't .
What was given to Erendis as a betrothal gift?

[Thorongil]

A diamond?

[Silmarien]

Sorry no that was given to her before they became betrothed.

[Iaurhirwen]

As a betrothal gift, Erendis was givin a portion of land in Emerie, where was built for her a white house.

[Silmarien]

Well done Iaurhirwen! The thread is yours.

[Iaurhirwen]

Oh, WoW! The first time I ever answer a question on the Downs and I get it right smilies/biggrin.gif
*Starts hyperventalating*

Anyhoo . . . . .
During what year did Sauron move and erect a stronghold in the land now known as Mordor to counteract the Númenórean landings at Harad?

[Finwe]

The year 1000 of the Second Age?

[Iaurhirwen]

Yep

You're up

[The Perky Ent]

Hate to be a negative ned, or in this case a negative ent, but...10 DAY RULE!!!! New question: How many Numenorian KINGS started their name with TAR?

[Iaurhirwen]

I think I got them all: 15

[The Perky Ent]

Um...i don't think so. Doulbe check. If you can prove me wrong, it's your go. Otherwise, someone please give the correct answer!

[Iaurhirwen]

1. Tar-Amandil
2. Tar-Elendil
3. Tar-Meneldur
4. Tar-Aldarion
5. Tar-Anárion
6. Tar-Súrton
7. Tar-Minastir
8. Tar-Ciryatan
9. Tar-Antanimar the Great
10. Tar-Ancalimon
11. Tar-Telemmaitë
12. Tar-Alcarin
13. Tar-Calmacil
14. Tar-Palantir – who changed his name from Ar-Inziladûn

I wasn’t sure if you were including Elros Tar-Minyatur in that group. If so, 15, if not 14. If I still didn’t get it, hint please as to what I’m missing.
:smokin:

[Arvedui III]

*Bump*

I think Iaurhirwen has it.

[Iaurhirwen]

Ok, I'm back:)

Now for a question . . . . . . .

What was the name of the Númenorean king who first sent aid to Gil-Galad and what was his number in secession (i.e. 1st king, 2nd king)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Was it Tar-Minastir, 11th King of Numenor?

[Iaurhirwen]

Correct. Your turn.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Rangers of the North wore what on their left shoulder? Full description, please.

[Gil-Galad]

sorry i beleive yoru question is un-orthodox, Numenorean, even though rangers wre numenore, they weren't called that, so plz stick with numenore

[The Saucepan Man]

I think that this thread can afford to be a little flexible, so let's go ahead with this question.

Please try to keep the questions more directly related to Númenor in the future, though.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Sorry all. Thanks for the leniency, Saucepan Man.:)

[Arvedui III]

Soo...I'm assuming we can answer this one.

The Dunedain wore silver, five-pointed stars on their left shoulders if I remember aright.

[Nirvana II]

uhhh.....i thought it was the symbol of Arnor...which i cannot remember

[luthien-elvenprincess]

You got it, Arvedui. A silver star shaped like a rayed star.

Note: next time it is my turn...I will extend an enormous effort to stay within guidelines of the thread!:D

[Arvedui III]

Thanks. Ok, sticking with Numenor now...

Which Numenorian King first spoke out against the ban of the Valar?

[Iaurhirwen]

That would be Tar-Atanamir

[Arvedui III]

Corect.

[Iaurhirwen]

I'm sick and to tired to look for a hard one so:

What was Elros's high-elven name?

[Miriel]

Hope you feel better soon...

And, his king-name was Tar-Minyatur. Or maybe you're looking for Elerossë, his name in Quenya?

[Gil-Galad]

Tar-Minatar(sp?) is his numernorean name... isn't elros his high-elven name though?

[Iaurhirwen]

Miriel has it.

[Miriel]

Well, I can't think of anything, so I'll give you a nice easy one. ;)

Who called Ancalimë 'great eyes'?

[Silmarien]

Would that be Hallacar?

[Miriel]

Nope.

[symestreem]

Is it Aldarion?

[Miriel]

No.

This is in the Unfinished Tales ... just read a little and you'll find it...


Sorry ... I know it's always easy when you know the answer. ;)

[Iaurhirwen]

Hahahahahahaha!!! I have found it!!!

Îbal

[Miriel]

Sorry for the delay.
This is correct.

[Iaurhirwen]

Ok, here we go.

What does Akallabeth mean? And what is its translation into Quenya?

[Son of Númenor]

The Downfallen.

Númenor and Númenórë.

[Iaurhirwen]

You have the English translation correct.

I had messed up in the wording of my second part of the question, you will notice that now I only want the Quenya translation, which you had answered incorrectly, try again.

[Son of Númenor]

That's embarassing, what with my name and all.

Atalantë.
