Odd PLACE Out

[mordor136]

helo everyone and welcome. lets get started.

Weathertop
Fangorn
Hobbiton
Lothlorien

HINT: think places certain hobbits went

[ November 07, 2002: Message edited by: mordor136 ]

[Diamond18]

Weathertop is the only place that the Hobbits weren't safe, and/or where one of them was injured.

[lathspell]

Fangorn is the only place where not all of the Hobbits went.

[mordor136]

lathspell got it. well done

[lathspell]

Imladris
Lothlorien
Carrock
Cair Andros

Hint: Names!

greetings,
lathspell

[HerenIstarion]

Imladris - cleaved valley
Lothlorien – flower of dreams
Cair Andros - ship of long-foam
Carrock - Carrock

carrock is not sindarin
out with it

(I'm good at showing off, am I not? smilies/wink.gif)

[mordor136]

Darn you beat me to it. Well enough of being a bad sport. Thats what I would have said.It took me to long to translate the names.

[lathspell]

You are VERY good at showing off HerenIstarion smilies/wink.gif... but it was not what I was looking for :P

Try again!

[Diamond18]

Hmmmm...Imladris is the only place usually called something else (Rivendell).

[Lindolirian]

Well, what I'm thinking of seems too easy, but I might as well try it anyways: Imladris is the only one west of the Misty Mountains.

[Precioussss]

They all have Elvish names, except for Carrock?

[HerenIstarion]

Well, I'll put my finger on Carrock again, on the ground that all three others are composed names (i.e cleaved+valley etc) and carrock, well, is just carrock (I don't think it was the stony place where beornings were parking their trucks smilies/wink.gif)

[lathspell]

Diamond18 is in the good direction, but still I haven't heard the answer I am looking for.

[TolkienGurl]

Imladris is the only one not by the Anduin?
Imladris is the only dale, or valley?

[ November 16, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Er... they were on rivers, but Lothlorien was the only one whose river did not have a permanent way of crossing over?

[lathspell]

Good gracious, what things you all come up with. Yet I've not seen the answer yet.

I gave you ppl a hint in the beginning, remember it.

here it is again: NAMES!

[mordor136]

Imladris is the only one that starts with a vowel. that was stupid

[lathspell]

I'll give a second hint! Be ready, here it comes: TREEBEARD!

[tom bombariffic]

Is it that carrock is the only one written in Westron (common language of Middle Earth)

[Curulin]

hello all.
right, my guess is that treebeard has met people from all of the places except Carrock. I believe he met Elrond (imladris), Galadriel (Lothlorien) and i dunno who from Cair andros, but its worth a guess, cos he didnt (as far as i know) ever meet Beorn from Carrock. thank you, Curulin

[Curulin]

Ah ha, i have had another idea... here goes: is the answer that treebeard calls lothlorien by another name (Laurelindorenan) and none of the others? Alternatively, he calls all but one of them by another name, unique to him, although i cannot find where he says any of the others... thanks again, just say if im way off or along the right lines...

[mordor136]

treebeard calls lothlorien by another name (Laurelindorenan) and none of the others?
I cant believe I didnt think of that. COOL answer

[ November 19, 2002: Message edited by: mordor136 ]

[lathspell]

Curulin is correct!

Lothlorien is the only place to have had another name that we know off.

Good job and please ask another.

lathspell

[Curulin]

Yay!!
ok, here goes:

Nargothrond
(near) Taur-nu-Fuin
Doriath
Angband

By the way, nothing to do with elves...... Be specific! Good Luck!!!

[HerenIstarion]

Taur-nu-Fuin, for it is a forest, and all of the rest are (more or less) caves

[Curulin]

No doubt you are correct HerenIstarion, however, it is not the answer i was looking for. Guess again....

Clue: think of events that happened in the places.

[HerenIstarion]

Taur-nu-Fuin again, on the ground that Luthien haven't been there. She was raised in Doriath, held captive in Nargothrond and journyed to Angband with a brief official visit smilies/wink.gif, but I don't recall her visiting Taur-nu-Fuin

[Curulin]

hehe, im afraid you'll need to reconsider, that is also incorrect. Luthien has been to Taur-nu-Fuin, but you're geting closer...

[HerenIstarion]

Nargothrond
Taur-nu-Fuin
Doriath
Angband

silly me smilies/smile.gif

Clad in these dreadful garments Huan and Lúthien ran through Taur-nu-Fuin, and all things fled before them

I will vote for Angband this time. The only place were Lúthien was not helped by Huan?

[Curulin]

Ah ha, now you are getting very warm indeed, in so far as you have now mentioned the beast the question concerns. although still not quite there... keep going though, it shouldnt take too long....

[lathspell]

Taur-nu-Fuin is the only place where Huan did not rescue Luthien from prison or a person.

Doriath - Two of the sons of Feanor
Nargothrond - Luthien held captive
Angband - Werewolves, Draugluin himself and at last Sauron
Taur-nu-Fuin - the only place that they only ran through without any action.

I have no books here, and only thought of this because of the things said above. If this is it: thank you, Order of Wizards smilies/wink.gif

greetings,
lathspell

[Curulin]

hmm, im afraid thats still not the answer i was looking for... forget Luthien and focus on Huan. good luck....

[HerenIstarion]

well, Doriath?

place were Huan met his match...

[Curulin]

afraid not...
ill give you a clue, its got something to do with something that most ordinary hounds cannot...

[lathspell]

Taur-nu-Fuin is the only place where Huan the Wolfhound did not speak.

1st time: in Nargothrond he speaks to Luthien Tinuviel about his plans of escape
------
2nd time: in Angband, counselling Beren about his choice and doom.
------
3rd time: in Doriath, bidding Beren farewell after the Hunting of the Wolf, when his Doom was fulfilled.

[Curulin]

YAY!! well youre basically right, Huan doesnt speak in Angband, he speaks near Taur-nu-fuin. Very well done. so, now its your turn to ask a question i suppose. my reign is over, sigh....

[lathspell]

Ah yes, I doubted between those...

eemm...

Angband
Dol Guldur
Mordor
Numenor

Good luck!

[Salix]

Angband is the only one that Sauron didn't visit? (that I know of)

[lathspell]

Sauron did visit Angband, he was captain of Angband in the Time of Morgoth. It had to do with Sauron though.

Keep up the good thinking.

[Curulin]

hello.
umm, angband, as it is the only place Sauron was not chased out of, or destroyed in.
Numenor, his body was destroyed along with numenor when the seas were bent.
Dol Guldur, he was chased out by the white council in the time of the hobbit,
Mordor, he was defeated by the last alliance, when the ring was cut from his finger, and when the ring was destroyed.
hmm, hope thats right...

[ November 27, 2002: Message edited by: Curulin ]

[HerenIstarion]

Numenor, since it was not founded by neither Morgoth or Sauron

[lathspell]

HI - indeed. Too easy, I guess. Well, I couldn't think of something.

Curulin - Sauron was chased away from Angband, by Huan and Luthien

[HerenIstarion]

Thanks, lathspell

next is not so hard either:


Bag-End
Esgaroth
Rivendell
Thranduil's Palace

[mordor136]

Esgaroth was the only place not visited by Bilbo.

[Curulin]

Hello there.
is it Bag-end, cos its the only place bilbo went where there were no elves. isnt esgaroth another name for lake-town? in whch case he did visit there... i have another guess, but i dont think it's right, so im only going to put it if this is wrong...
Curulin

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Bag-End; it was the one place Bilbo lived with other hobbits (as opposed to dwarves, elves or men).

[HerenIstarion]

all good guesses, but neither one is correct.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Rivendell was the only one never used as a prison? A wild guess.

Or is simpler -- Bag End was the only hobbit dwelling?

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Esgaroth was the only one never used as a prison? A wild guess.

Or is simpler -- Bag End was the only hobbit dwelling?

[HerenIstarion]

I'll give you a hint:

Thing to which one's communication skills are aplied on solemn occasions

[ December 03, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ]

[lathspell]

It's Thranduil's Palace.
Reason: The only Place where the Dwarves (and Bilbo in a way) were imprisoned, and Bilbo functioned as a communication 'medium' for the Dwarves.

greetings,
lathspell

[lathspell]

Here they are:

It may be somewhat hard, but here's something that may help: geometrics

Isengard
Mount Gundabad
The Grey Havens
Bree

[lathspell]

anyone?

[HerenIstarion]

geomet... huh?

Well, Bree, situated relatively in an open place. All the rest were protected from three sides

[ December 09, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ]

[lathspell]

You're on the right track, HerenIstarion.
only the reason was not the one I was looking for

[the real findorfin]

Bree is the only one not fortified. If not that has it got something to to do with leaders ...no...oh well!

[Lindolirian]

Geometrics, huh? If the first three were points in a triangle, Bree would be in the middle of it.

[HerenIstarion]

Lindolirian, I think you must have hit the ten mark. Lathspell, do you confirm?

[lathspell]

lathspell does confirm. smilies/smile.gif

good job and please continue the thread, Lindolirian.

[Lindolirian]

Cool beans...

Ard-Galen
Formenos
Gondolin
Tirion

[Iarwain]

Probably wrong, but I think it is Formenos, because it was the only one that wasn't a major city, or didn't hold a large population.

Otherwise, I would say Ard-Galen because it wasn't as much of a solid, fortified place as the others.

[Lindolirian]

nope..
........curufinwe..........

[Tulkas the Mighty]

I don't get it. what does Curufinwe mean? Wasn't that one of feanor's sons?

[lathspell]

Curufinwe is the 'real' name of Feanor. His mother, however named him Curufinwe, which is a better name to resemble his eager burning spirit. Feanor is also the name by which he was remembered in later days.
In other ways... Curufinwe is Feanor.

As for the answer:
Just a guess.
Ard-galen, for it's the only place that did not hold the High-King of the Noldor. (I'm not sure about this, as I said, only a guess)

or

another guess:
Gondolin, the only place where Feanor hasn't lived. (not sure about this either)

greetings,
lathspell

[Lindolirian]

lathspell is correct! Feanor never went to Gondolin.

[lathspell]

Good!
Here's the new question:
- Angband
- Avathar
- Mirkwood
- Mordor

[Lindolirian]

Mirkwood is the only one occupied by both good and evil forces. Also, Avathar is not in Middle Earth.

[lathspell]

Both well-found, Lindolirian. But not the answer I'm waiting for.
Try again

greets,
lathspell

[Beren87]

Angband was the only place not inhabited by giant spiders?

[ December 26, 2002: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[HerenIstarion]

Avathar, since Sauron is not reported to be visiting it ever

[ December 27, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ]

[lathspell]

Beren87, your turn!!!!

greetings,
lathspell

[Curulin]

Hello all,
well since Beren doesnt seem to be replying, and i rather like this quizz, im going to ask a question. I'll do an easy one since it's not really my turn... ok, which is the odd one out and why???

Minas Tirith
Minas Ithil
Dol Amroth
Annuminas

First person to get it right, asks the next question.

[Lindolirian]

Annuminas was the only one not in Gondor.

And since it was more than a week, or ten days, it is okay for you to post because we don't want threads to die out.

[Curulin]

Sorry, thats not the answer i was thinking of, however correct it is. It's more specific...
Curulin

[Russandol]

Dol Amroth - The other three have, or had a Palantir located there.

[Curulin]

Congratulations Russandol, you got it.
Ok, now your go.....

[Russandol]

Sea of Rhun
Greenwood the Great
Hithaeglir
Tyrn Gorthad

[Pallando B.C]

Ok, Greenwood; since it is the only place to under-go a major name change -- or because the other three places are in the Sindarian Language.

[Russandol]

Nope, that's not the answer I'm looking for, keep trying!

[Pallando B.C]

A hobbit has never been reported to have travelled to the Sea of Rhûn?

[Russandol]

No, that's not the answer.

Clue : - it's about time.

[Russandol]

Do I claim victory in this thread?

smilies/biggrin.gif Woo-Hoo! smilies/biggrin.gif

Answer - The Sea of Rhun

All the others are mentioned as having existed in the First Age of the world.

[Russandol]

Next one :

Umbar
Edhellond
Lond Daer Enedh
Pelargir

[Lindolirian]

Edhellond is the only port not manned by Men.

[Russandol]

Too easy for you Lindolirian. The floor's all yours ...

[Lindolirian]

Nargothrond
Dorthonion
Menegroth
Tol Sirion

[Beren87]

Well, they've all been sacked at one time or another, so that doesn't help at all...

[ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[the real findorfin]

Isn't Dorthonion the only place, by which I mean all theothers are buildings?? But is that too easy (or completely wrong smilies/smile.gif )

[Ultimatejoe]

Dorthonion is the only region populated by men?

[Russandol]

Hmm, not sure here ...

Is it ...

a) Menegroth as the other three were realmlets founded by Noldorian princes ?

b) Dorthonion - the only place to remain above water after the War of Wrath?

c) Menegroth again as the other three were habitations of the Enemy at some point?

[Lindolirian]

No, no, no, and no. Keep trying!!!

[Russandol]

Dorthonion - The other three could only be reached by bridge.

[Lindolirian]

Gee whiz, there are so many answers for this one. Still not it!

[Ultimatejoe]

Tol Sirion is the only one with a name in Quenya?

[Russandol]

Dorthonion again as the other three were visited by Luthien Tinuviel.

[Ultimatejoe]

I think that when we throw these riddles together we REALLY should try to arrange them so there is only one possible solution.

[Beren87]

I think we should stop spamming. That's impossible to do by the way.

Tol Sirion, the only one not repopuluated after it was sacked?

[Lindolirian]

Hint: They are all places that one Man has been. Except one, of course...

[Beren87]

Well, Turin has been to everyone except for Tol Sirion I believe.

[Lindolirian]

Correct!

[Beren87]

Great!

Gladden Fields
Mt.Doom
The Shire
Dale

[elven maiden Earwen]

dale because it is the only place frodo didnt go

[Beren87]

Nope.

[Ultimatejoe]

The Shire is the only place west of the Misty Mountains?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Dale was the only place that didnt have a battle named after it?
(it was called the battle of 5 armies right?)

[Ultimatejoe]

The Shire didn't have a battle named after it. The Battle that Bandorabas Took was in was called the Battle of the North Downs was it not? The only other battle in the Shire was called the Battle of Bywater.

[Beren87]

Sorry to say their all wrong. It deals with an object.

[Lindolirian]

The Ring has not been to Dale. I think Bilbo went around it on his way to the Lonely Mountain.

[Beren87]

Correct Lindolirian!

[elven maiden Earwen]

its been a while now so im going to post

Minas Tirth
Rivendell
Valinor
Shire

[Beren87]

Elven Arwen Maiden, please read the Quiz Room Rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000386) where it is clearly stated that Lindolirian has 10 days to post on this thread.

[Lindolirian]

Formenos
Menegroth
Mouths of Sirion
Angband

[ February 03, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

[Ultimatejoe]

A king of the Eldar died at each one except the Mouths of the Sirion?

[ January 31, 2003: Message edited by: Ultimatejoe ]

[Lindolirian]

Not quite. I thought this one was very easy actually.

[lathspell]

Mouths of Sirion, I guess.

The other three all are fortified places or strongholds.

greetings,
lathspell

[Lindolirian]

Hmm.... And I'm even giving a subtle little hint...

[Ultimatejoe]

Only Formenos is in Valinor?

[Pallando B.C]

Formenos, since Mortal Men have been everywhere else. Maybe a bit too easy ?

[lathspell]

Mouths of Sirion is the only made by nature itself and not by Elves, Dwarves etc.

[Lindolirian]

They're all a place where something has been.

[Pallando B.C]

....except for ONE you mean.

May it be the Mouths of Sirion since Silmarils have never been there.


Hmm.... And I'm even giving a subtle little hint...

And this hint you speak of...is it the icon that you did every post with regarding this question, the Star Emblem (which I did mine with). Was that meant to be an indication that the answer was indeed the Silmarils?

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

[Lindolirian]

....except for ONE you mean.

Of course, that's why it's "Odd PLACE out"

You are correct!

[Pallando B.C]

Ok, but was my instinct correct regarding your suttle hint?

Imladris
Lorien
Minas Tirith
Fangorn

[Lindolirian]

Yes, you were right about my hint.

Imladris in the only one not named after something or someone of the same name.

Other guesseses:

Minas Tirith because it isn't in close proximity to the Misty Mountains, or Fangorn, the only place where Men and Elves do not live. Also, Imladris is the only one on the Western side of the Misty Mountains.

[Pallando B.C]

No, none of them.

Think of their residents.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Fangorn is the only place where the residents are trees/ents!

It's also the only place where residents don't have elvish blood

Imladris is the only place where all the fellowship went together? (Oh thats not residents. Sorry)

Is there a hint in the fact that you're using Imladris instead of Rivendell?

[Lindolirian]

Imladris is the only one where people of many races live. In Lorien, it's only elves, Fangorn, only Ents, and in Minas Tirith, only Men. In Rivendell, the Elves of course, at least one hobbit, and Aragorn used to live there.

[Pallando B.C]

That's it Lindolirian. The floor is yours....

[Lindolirian]

Edoras
the Morannon
Isengard
Dol Amroth
Pelennor Fields

[lathspell]

Pelennor Fields: all have to do with ringed places (mountains and gate or walls and gate), except this one.

[Gil-Galad]

i know its not my turn but i thought of one and can someone figure it out and it doesn't have to count or anything and don't put any post saying i'm nt suppose too and stuff.

1. Dol Amroth
2. Osgiliath
3. Lindon
4. Grey Havens
5. Erebor

[Gil-Galad]

Edoras or Dol Amroth thats where evil hasn't attacked or been?

[Gil-Galad]

the Morannon isn't in control of good?

[Lindolirian]

Haven't seen the right answer yet!

[elven maiden Earwen]

isengard because out of alll those places ents have only been there

o Gil-Galad just a guess but is it Osgilith because it was the only place that was a ruin at the end of the third age. smilies/biggrin.gif

[ February 16, 2003: Message edited by: elven maiden Earwen ]

[Gil-Galad]

actually there are 2 answers to my question thanks to my brother who told me

[Lindolirian]

Earwen: Not quite, but it does have to do with places that somebody has been.

[elven maiden Earwen]

the morranon because its the only place frodo went

[Gil-Galad]

the Morannon is the only place frodo went too or/and gollum went too?

[elven maiden Earwen]

Dol Amroth becuse none of the fellowship went there.

[Gil-Galad]

should i start i new one since no answer is coming? well here goes

1. Imaldris
2. Lindon
3. Orthanc
4. Minas Anor

Hint: think age and who controls it

[Gil-Galad]

also the answer to my last one is Erebor-not located by body of water leading to ocean or Lindon becasue that was in different age

[Lindolirian]

Gil-Galad: See the Quiz Room Rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000386)

I posted the question on the 13th. The question was still be asked about on the 16th. You need to give it ten days according to the Rules. Trivia isn't the only thing learned in the quiz room. Patience is too.

O and by the way, I still need the right answer.
Hint: the person who has been to all these places but one, lives by the Sea.

[ February 19, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

[Tar-Palantir]

I'm going to say Edoras. Cirdan is the only being I can think that lives by the Sea. He was at the Pellenor Fields and the Morannon during the last alliance. I'm just guessing that he was in Orthanc at some point for a wizard's counsel, maybe? And Dol Amroth is near to the Sea in Belfalas so why shouldn't he have stumbled by there at some point? smilies/biggrin.gif

Sorry it's all guesswork, but it's the best I can do.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Edoras because Prine Imrhail didnt go there (did he go to Isengard)

[Lindolirian]

Earwen... check the RotK. smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/wink.gif
No, he did not go to Isengard.

[ February 20, 2003: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

[lathspell]

Dol Amroth, because Aragorn never went there.

[Gil-Galad]

didn't he go there after the pass of the dead then he went to pelergir?

[elven maiden Earwen]

the morrannon because its the only place the mouth of Sauron went or

Dol Amroth because its the only place none of the fellowship went.

[Gil-Galad]

DIDN'T ARAGORN GO TO DOL AMROTH AFTER THE PATHS OF THE DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smilies/mad.gif smilies/mad.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/mad.gif smilies/mad.gif smilies/confused.gif smilies/mad.gif smilies/mad.gif !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Lindolirian]

No, he did not. He didn't make it that far south. Earwen was pretty close a while back...

[Tar-Palantir]

geeez... Don't blow a gasket there Gil. No, Aragorn and his ghastly army did not go to Dol Amroth at that time.


smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif happy happy...

[Tar-Palantir]

AHA! I did not remember that Imrahil had gone to Edoras. So the answer most assuredly is Isengard for Imrahil has never been there. smilies/smile.gif

[ February 22, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

[Lindolirian]

You got it Tar-Palantir!!! Take it away! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Tar-Palantir]

Nimrodel
Baranduin
Sirannon
Anduin

bonne chance tout le monde!

[Annunfuiniel]

Sirannon? The Ring never crossed it en route...
or because it's the only one that didn't flow anymore during the Great Years.
Baranduin? The only one with also a hobbit name (Brandywine).

Well, I just HAD to participate in this thread too though I haven't got the slightest idea what I'm doing... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Lindolirian]

Baranduin is the only one that has its source in a lake rather than coming from tributaries in the Misty Mountains.

[Tar-Palantir]

No, it's not the source I'm looking for. smilies/smile.gif

[Annunfuiniel]

Anduin is the only one to have many (great) sources?

[lathspell]

Annunfuiniel, the Sirannon is the gate-stream of Moria, not the major river of West-Beleriand... that's the Sirion (sp)

I guess Nimrodel, because all the other rivers were 'ways' into danger.
Baranduin was towards the Old Forest.
Anduin towards Amon Hen
Sirannon towards Moria

All places where their was danger, but after Nimrodel comes Lorien and there was
no danger in that place.

greetings
lathspell

[Annunfuiniel]

Dear lathspell, what made you think I had confused Sirion and Sirannon? smilies/confused.gif smilies/wink.gif
If you mean that part where I mentioned that The Ring never crossed Sirannon I'm pretty sure that that is the case. Although the Fellowship followed the riverside (of Sirannon - or what was left of it) I think they never crossed it.

[Tar-Palantir]

No Lathspell that is not it.

*hint* three of them have a special feature.

[Lindolirian]

Just a guess, but the Sirannon is the only one without an island?

[lathspell]

or because it's the only one that didn't flow anymore during the Great Years

My mistake, Annunfuiniel. I thought you meant Beleriand by that, because it was destroyed. I never realised that the Sirannon was only a dry bed by the time that the company arrived there. And I've read the LotR already for 7 times or so... maybe I need read it again smilies/smile.gif
My deepest regrets smilies/wink.gif
lathspell

[Tar-Palantir]

Better line of thinking Lindolirian. I like question to turn over fast so I'll give another hint. smilies/smile.gif

*hint* what was so special about Nimrodel?

[elven maiden Earwen]

Nimrodel because it is the only one that was named after someone or had someone living there.

[Tar-Palantir]

No, I'm sorry Earwen that is not a correct answer. smilies/smile.gif

[ February 24, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

[Lindolirian]

Nimrodel does not have the ruins of an ancient city. Near the source of the Baranduin is what's left of Annuminas, at the junction of Sirannon and Glanduin was Ost-in-Edhel, and the ruins of Osgiliath span Anduin in Gondor

[Tar-Palantir]

It's hard to think of another hint!

Nimrodel is not the answer, just a clue to the answer. Go read the book, it's calling you, I hear it...

got it yet? smilies/smile.gif

[Annunfuiniel]

Is it Baranduin? All the others had a waterfall but I have never read that Baranduin had one. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Tar-Palantir]

Nimrodel - The Falls of Nimrodel (I love that little section)
Baranduin
Sirannon - The Stair Falls
Anduin - The Falls of Rauros

Annunfuiniel - you're killing me today! good job. If you run over to Geography grilling you might get a trifecta. smilies/rolleyes.gif

Angband
Barad-dûr
Dol Guldur
Minas Morgul
Minas Tirith

[Pallando B.C]

Minas Tirith was never occupied by evil.

Angband was the only structure of the First Age.

Minas Morgul since it was the only place to be taken over by evil.

or Dol Guldur becuase it was the only one to cause a name change for its surroundings.

[Annunfuiniel]

Dol Guldur might have been the right answer but it's NOT! smilies/tongue.gif

[lathspell]

Minas Tirith is the only place Sauron hasn't been
or
Minas Tirith is the only place where Sauron wasn't ever in the history of M-e in command.

The best I could come up with yet

greetings,
lathspell

[Tar-Palantir]

Dol Guldur wasn't raised? (no towers, had no external construct, just a hill?)

[Lindolirian]

I don't advise you to go anywhere near the places overlooked by his dark tower! -Gandalf
the Hobbit, Queer Lodgings

I think it did have a tower. I suppose Gandalf would know; he's been there.

[Annunfuiniel]

Nope and nope! smilies/smile.gif
Hint: One of those places isn't what it first seems (or rather sounds) to be...

[Tar-Palantir]

Minas Morgul beacause it used to be Minas Ithil. The others never had another name.

[Annunfuiniel]

Points to you T-P for that but it still isn't the answer I'm looking for. smilies/tongue.gif

Hint: Minas Tirith of ???? (just to give you a new perspective)

[Tar-Palantir]

Minas Tirith was the only stronghold of good.

[Durelin]

Ummmmm...Angband because it's the only place underground? The rest are above ground? Sorry, best I could do! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Durelin]

Wait! Minas Morgul and Minas Ithil are the same place! So is it Minas Ithil because that was the name before???

[Annunfuiniel]

Oh, my hint was too subtle! smilies/biggrin.gif
Well, I ment that this Minas Tirith isn't the one in M-E (but still it isn't the answer)...

[Tar-Palantir]

Minas Tirith was built and occupied by elves?

[Annunfuiniel]

That ain't it either but it has to do with who dwelt and where...
Hope this leads you to the right track! smilies/smile.gif

[Tar-Palantir]

This is my last guess smilies/tongue.gif

Minas Morgul because Sauron never actually dwelt there, even though he controlled it.

[Annunfuiniel]

YES, that's it! *storm of applause* smilies/biggrin.gif
Your turn.

[Tar-Palantir]

Ok, here is another one.

Amon Sûl
Cirith Ungol
Amon Hen
Orodruin

No clues this time..hehehe smilies/evil.gif

[Rose Cotton]

Orodruin because it was never built upon?

[Gil-Galad]

Cirith ungol wasn't destroyed

or Cirith ungol was the meanign of the tower when it was in control of evil
(i mean its a different name then its original because Mt.Doom was what man called it and Amon sul and Amon hen was there original names so i would sya Coith Ungol)

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Cirith Ungol is the only one that refers to a tower, not a hill or mountain with a building in or on it.

[Tar-Palantir]

Cirith Ungol is a pass the Rinbearer used, I am not referring to the Tower of Cirith Ungol. I will enlarge the list, and that way an extra clue will be added.

Amon Sûl
Cirith Ungol
Amon Hen
Orodruin
Bree

good luck smilies/smile.gif

[ March 02, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

[Elfhelm]

Cirith Ungol, because that was the only place listed where Frodo didn't put on the Ring, even though Sam did. smilies/smile.gif

[Tar-Palantir]

YaY, good job.

your turn, Elfhelm. By the way, it is also your turn on the 'Who am I?' thread. smilies/wink.gif

[ March 02, 2003: Message edited by: Tar-Palantir ]

[Elfhelm]

Well, here it goes...

Hollin
Amon Hen
Minas Tirith
the Morannon
Woodhall

[lathspell]

Hollin is the only place where once lived Elves and not anymore.

[Elfhelm]

Well, that's true, but it isn't the answer I'm looking for. smilies/smile.gif

[Gil-Galad]

Amon hen was the only thing that was commanded by men and was left in ruins

[the real findorfin]

Woodhall is the only place where a battle hasn't occured.

Alternately, Minas Tirith is the only place Frodo didnt go before the destruction of the Ring.

[elven maiden Earwen]

can we have a hint????

[Elfhelm]

Nobody has it yet. Think of what the fellowship talked about at these places. smilies/smile.gif

[elven maiden Earwen]

Minas Tirth was the only one were Frodo&Sam didnt go durring the war of the ring or

[gralin musicteeth]

Woodhall is the only place the entire fellowship didn't go (where is the Morannnon)?

[elven maiden Earwen]

the Morranon is the black gate

[lathspell]

I'm not sure if either of these two is correct, but I'll give it a try:

Woodhall, because all the others were deserted by 'normal' (in which case I don't mean the Crebain of Saruman and such) animals.

OR

Hollin was the only place deserted by both men and animal.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

i thought Hollin didn't even exist anymore at the time of the quest!
by the way, Elfhelm have you forgotten this thread?

[mordor136]

I always thought that hollin though deserted
at the time of the quest was still called hollin so it still existed

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Oh right. I didn't know that, thanks Mordor!

[Arwen Imladris]

The Morannon, (because it is the only one I didn't remember what it was?)

[Gil-Galad]

should i start another oen or what?

[Gil-Galad]

i guess i will start a new one

1. Imaldris
2. Lothlorien
3. Greenwood/Mirkwood
4. Mithlond
5. Ithilien (FA)


hint: think of the keepers of these places

[lathspell]

i don't know this for sure, but a few things coming up.

Mithlond was the only one which had no Elves as inhabitants.
OR
Mirkwood was the only place with Avari.

greetings,
lathspell

[elven maiden Earwen]

Ithilien (FA) was the only one ruled by men.

[Gil-Galad]

nope sorry and i meant fa as Fourth age!

[elven maiden Earwen]

5. Ithilien (FA) becasue a hobbits never been there.

[Eruanna]

Is it to do with age?
Imladris (Elrond), Lothlorien (Galadriel), Greenwood (Thranduil), Mithlond (Cirdan) were all founded and inhabited by Elves throughout the first to third ages. Ithilien was taken over by Legolas and some of the Greenwood/Mirkwood Elves in the fourth age. Legolas was much younger than the other rulers.

[ April 14, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

[Gil-Galad]

nope

[The Saucepan Man]

1. Imaldris
2. Lothlorien
3. Greenwood/Mirkwood
4. Mithlond
5. Ithilien (FA)

Imladris is the only one that's spelled wrong. smilies/wink.gif

Well, of the "keepers" of these places, Galadriel was the only one to have lived in the Undying Lands prior to the War of the Ring. Elrond, Thranduil, Cirdan and Legolas never stepped foot in Valinor until after the final defeat of Sauron (assuming Thranduil did eventually pass to the West - presumably he did to be with his father and son).

So, I'll say Lothlorien.

[Eruanna]

Or you could say that Greenwood/Mirkwood is the odd one out, because its "keeper", Thranduil, is the only one that we don't know for sure went to the West. The others definitely went. smilies/smile.gif

[Gil-Galad]

Eruanna is clsoe need a hint?

[Gil-Galad]

Hint: Eruanna is clsoe with the keepers but it matters what the keepers had to do with royality! (trust me its not Cirdan)

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

hmm... it's a weird link, but I'll try it...

Lothlorien's "ruler" (Galadriel) is the daughter of a king (Finarfin)

Ithilien's elven leader (Legolas) is the son of a king (Tharanduil)

Mirkwood's ruler (Tharanduil) is a king

Imladris' ruler (Elrond) was descended from a king (Dior/Turgon) and also served a king (Gil-Galad)

And Mithlond's ruler (Cirdan) was related to a king (Thingol)

So, I will hazard to guess Elrond because his closest connection to royalty is more than one generation back?

Sophia

[Gil-Galad]

Sophia yo uare SO close but its not Elrond either( you are on the right track with the kings but think of what they had to do with other kings!)

[elven maiden Earwen]

Mirkwood's ruler (Tharanduil) isnt related to any kings or none of his fathers or grandparents, ect are kings

[Gil-Galad]

Earwen i think you got it right since it is closest to my anwser

Thranduil becasue the others played a major part with other kings
(Eg: Celeborn-Kinsman of Thingol, Legolas-friend of Aragorn) so Earwen you get to go and good job

[elven maiden Earwen]

Mirkwood
Rivendel
Lothlorien
Valinor

[Lindolirian]

No evil has ever entered Rivendell.

[Gil-Galad]

there is no record of Gandalf entering Mirkwood

[lathspell]

In all of them lived Calaquendi except in Mirkwood

[Estanesse]

Because the question who is Calaquendi and who not is a bit of a contradiction (in my opinion smilies/smile.gif ) I will try my luck with in all those places lived people of Noldorian blood except in Mirkwood.

[Dûrlossiel]

I'll guess Valinor.

[Gil-Galad]

since your new i'll be nice to you for now, you must give a description of why your answer is different then the others

[elven maiden Earwen]

No,no,no,no,no sorry totally forgot about this thread.
But i think Estanesse was closest.

[Estanesse]

Rivendell
Mirkwood
Grey havens
Eregion

I’m curious what was the correct answer Elven maiden Earwen

[ April 28, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

[elven maiden Earwen]

Valinor wasn't ruled by an elf. I didnt count Dûrlossiel because it didnt give me a reason.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

So who takes the next turn then? Earwen?

[Estanesse]

I have
Don’t ask me why, but I’m very happy with it smilies/biggrin.gif

[tom bombariffic]

is it eregion because it is the only one where bilbo baggins didnt go?

or otherwise possibly eregion because, while the elves of eregion helped to make the rings of power, the rings didnt go there, and a ring of power went to all the others. although thats a guess.

[Estanesse]

Yes it is eregion and yes because it was the only place Bilbo baggins never went to.

[tom bombariffic]

Ok I'll give this ago although my tolkien knowledge is limited...

Henneth Annun
Emyn Muil
Hills of Andram
Taur-en-Faroth

I apologise in advance for any spelling errors!

Bombariffic

[tom bombariffic]

no one?
i can give a clue if you want

[Estanesse]

Is the answer
All have water fell from it smilies/wink.gif . Except one, Taur-en-Faroth didn't had a waterfall

[tom bombariffic]

You are absolutely, positively, as correct as you could possibly be.

Congratulations on your heroic success, and would you please do the honour of asking the next question?

[Estanesse]

I’m really honoured to present the next question smilies/biggrin.gif

Nargothrond
Gondolin
Himring

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Several options:

Himring alone survived the flooding of Beleriand.

OR

Himring is the only one occupied by a son of Feanor (Maedhros), the other two were of the house of Fingolfin.

OR

Himring is the only one that wasn't founded at the prompting of dreams from Ulmo.

[Estanesse]

No No and No

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Was Himring the only one not beseiged? Or sacked?

[Estanesse]

Nope that’s not it.
Hint: Himring was besieged and probable sacked smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Nargothrond was originally inhabited by Dwarves wasn't it?

Or perhaps, Himring was a military site while Nargothrond and Gondolin were civilian cities as well.
