Geography Grilling

[luthien-elvenprincess]

hello.......anyone home?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

About 50 miles?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

nope.

The answer is in the book, shortly after the gang enters Moria. :)

[Gil-Galad]

err....68? totally a guess

[luthien-elvenprincess]

totally a wrong guess :p

[Gil-Galad]

well is it higher or lower? heh were posting on 2 threads

[luthien-elvenprincess]

use the clue I gave! Lest we be reduced to mere guessing!!! ;)

[Lindolirian]

It cannot be less than forty miles, but the road may wind much.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

yes!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Bump... Lindo???

[Lindolirian]

...and I forgot a thread again. So sorry, Ms Luthien!
And now to business: What road crosses the Odothui?

[Elessar]

the andrath greenway?

[Lindolirian]

The Greenway will do. Proceed!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Name all passes from the North into Beleriand.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

As far as named passes, here is what I have:

Pass of Aglon, Pass of Anach, Pass of Sirion.

Also possibly elligible:

Maglor's gap

Less possibly elligible:

Cirith Ninniach, Annon in Gelydh?

I spend far too little time sleeping. :rolleyes:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The thread is yours, Sophia. ;)

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Thanks. There are some bits that I've never been sure whether they're part of Beleriand proper, or too far north. Like Nevrast. ;)

Anyway, on to the next question.

Name the north and south coastal plains of Aman.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Araman and Avathar, respectively.

I think . . .

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

quite correct.

S.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Which rivers named in Lord of the Rings do not lead to Belegaer (the Sea)?

[Gil-Galad]

ooh/...... River Running?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

. . . but there's another one. :p ;)

[Lindolirian]

River Carnen or something like that, I can't remember exactly.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Also the Forest River.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

What's the verdict on this?

Guilty. Put 'em on the chair.

Not that kind of verdict. Who do I give the thread to?

[Lindolirian]

Technically luthien knew all three answers before Gil or I did because she could have just copied and pasted ours into her post (since they were already there), thus having all three right. So I'd say her.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

luthien, it's yours. :)

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Thanks! Ya know...it's a lot funner answering these questions rather than thinking the up! :)

Wellinghall was located on what mountain range, also which specific mountain peak?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Hithaegilr? Methedras?

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Yes, those answers are correct :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

If travelling from Minas Tirith to Fornost, how many rivers must you cross--assuming you follow the road.

[Lindolirian]

Glanhir, Snowbourne, Isen, and Gwathlo.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif

[Lindolirian]

What do the Rushdown and Langflood combine into?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I dunno what Rushdown is, but Langflood flows into Anduin.

[Lindolirian]

Good work.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

What is the boundary of Thranduil's kingdom and Celeborn's (in Eryn Lasgalen).

[Lindolirian]

Thranduil's border was the mountains, while Celeborn's was the Narrows with the forest in between belonging to the Beornings.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Capital.

[Lindolirian]

What geographical feature divides the Lunoronti?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Which would therefore be divided by the Gulf of Lhun?

[Lindolirian]

http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Now for a new one. And straightforward it is.

Which rivers did Aragorn & co. have to cross between Dunharrow and Pelargir?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Morthond, Ciril, Ringlo and Gilrain/Serni.

I did not include Sirith, as it flows through Pelargir.

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Yes, indeedy.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Which major region of Andor had the shortest coastline?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Mittalmar- which only had just a smidgen around Romenna.

Unless Emerie is considered a major region, in that case, it has none at all.

Researching Sailorhood?! :D ;)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Mittalmar is correct!

And yes, I am. Mindreading again? :D ;)

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Anyway.

Please provide for me three names of havens in Eriador.

[NightKnight]

Harlond, Forlond and Lond Daer?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Mithlond, Harlond, Forlond?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

I knew I didn't ask for enough. :p

I'd forgotten about Forlond, and I was trying to get someone to mention Lond Daer, the Numenorean harbor in Minhiriath.

But since you're right.

You may take it away.

Sophia

[NightKnight]

Me or Nilp? I got it first...

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

YAY! I didn't see you NightKnight, because of the page change!

But you were first, and you did say Lond Daer! Which makes you my new favorite.

And the person to ask the next question.

[NightKnight]

Who had his throne on Amon Obel?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Brandir the Lame?

[NightKnight]

I guess he did, as did the leaders of the Haladin. Your turn, Nil.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Now, what street does the Closed Gate lead to.

[NightKnight]

Something inside my head says Rath Dinen. Is it right?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Cause whoever he is, he is correct! :D

[NightKnight]

I don't know, maybe I should try to find out?

Don't go there.

Which are the three dwarven names for the peaks above Moria?

[Lindolirian]

Barazinbar, Bundushathur, and Zirakzigil.
Wait a minute, am I to understand that NK has an alter ego now too?!? :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Alter-egos everywhere! To whom do we turn to stop them?!

[Lindolirian]

So Lindo, did you get that question right or what?
I dunno, I was hoping Nil could help us with that. :p

[NightKnight]

You got it, Lindo. And I'll try to stop it from appearing too much.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Lindo?

[Lindolirian]

Now don't get offended, it was your own silly fault you forgot about the thread.
Yeah yeah... :)
What is the distance between Tolondren and Rosfein?

[Estanesse]

0 mile :p

[Lindolirian]

Very nice, Estanesse :)

[Estanesse]

Name the town of men smaug destroyed.

[The Elf-warrior]

Esgaroth.

[Gil-Galad]

Lake Town

[Estanesse]

You got it, elf warrior

(lake town was not detroyed by smaug)

[The Elf-warrior]

Where were Merry and Pippin buried?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Silent Street, Rath Dínen. :smokin:

[The Elf-warrior]

Correct!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Is Tol Brandir in Beleriand?

[Gil-Galad]

As far as i am concerned it is... :smokin:

[NightKnight]

Nope. It's in the Anduin.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your thread. :cool:

[NightKnight]

Oh dear, not again... not this one... I'm out of questions... Ah heck, I guess I'll have to try anyway.

If you would go from Fornost to Tharbad, where would you pass through?

[Gil-Galad]

Bree if you take a straight route...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I'm guessing the Greenway.

[NightKnight]

Bree was the answer I had in mind. You're not quite "passing through" the Greenway, you're walking on it. So Gil-Galad, it's your turn. :)

[Gil-Galad]

Oh joy...

What river is south of Greyflood, North of Lefnun, East of Isen, and west of Entwash?

[Lindolirian]

If you meant Lefnui (rather than Lefnun ;)), then I'd say Adorn.

[Gil-Galad]

i'm pretty sure its Lefnun...but no its not the Adorn...

[Lindolirian]

Well it seems you've found a river I've never heard of. I just assumed it was Lefnui because that's pretty close to the others you mentioned. I think one of us might have a typo. O well.
And I think the only other river between the Isen and entwash is the Snowbourne.

[Gil-Galad]

Hint: its closer to Isen then any others

[Lindolirian]

You wouldn't be counting the stream in Helm's Deep as a river would you?

[Gil-Galad]

not at all, close though...think behind helms deep

[Lindolirian]

I thought the stream in Aglarond would be the same as the one that flows out of Helm's Deep, but if that's not it, I believe you have me.

[Gil-Galad]

oh wow thats a first...its actually really easy...

[The Elf-warrior]

Is it the Deeping-stream?

[Firefoot]

But the Deeping-stream is the same river Lindo's been talking about.

(But, I don't think there are any other rivers that fit the criteria.)

[Gil-Galad]

as i said: behind Helms Deep

[Firefoot]

Another hint, maybe?

[Gil-Galad]

its a river in West Rohan

[Firefoot]

The only other river in Rohan I can find is the Adorn - but it's not really behind Helm's Deep or east of the Isen... it's more south of it.

[piosenniel]

Are you speaking of The Deeping Stream?

[Iaurhirwen]

Is it the Swanfleet?

[Gil-Galad]

it is the swanfleet! good job!

[Firefoot]

Gil-Galad, I'm a little confused. What did you mean when you gave a hint that it was behind Helm's Deep? And it flows into the Greyflood; how is it closer to the Isen than the others? :(

[piosenniel]

Sorry - but you are wrong in thinking the Swanfleet is a river in West Rohan, or in Rohan, at all. Neither is it east of the Isen - it's west of the Isen's source and north of the Isen itself as it flows to the sea.

Swanfleet is the name given to the River Glanduin where it flows through the fens just northeast of Tharbad. The Sirannon (Gate Stream) that flowed from Khazad-dum was a tributary of the Glanduin.

Eregion bordered these two rivers on the north, and Dunland bordered them on the south.

They do not flow in Rohan.

The Deeping Stream, on the other hand, ran around the base of Helm's Deep on the south and east sides:

The stream that rose in the gorge of the White Mountains known as Helm's Deep. It flowed through a culvert in the wall that guarded that refuge of the Rohirrim, and then around the feet of the rock where the Hornburg stood, before beginning its journey into the wide lands of Rohan.

-- Encyclopedia of Arda

You can also investigate the Rohan rivers by looking at The Atlas of Middle-earth; pg: 88 - 89. And the Deeping Stream in the same Atlas, pg. 132 - 133.


HERE (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/hugo1900/img14.jpg) is a map you can use to look at the locations of the various rivers. You can click on it to enlarge it.

~*~ Pio

[Iaurhirwen]

I think I may have found the misconception. The map that pio has just given us the link to and the map I consulted myself have different names for the same river. My map, one of those bookmarks that fold out into a map that were released by New Line, gives the name of swanfleet for the river. While the map that pio has just linked for us has given the name of Adorn for the same river. The map in ROTK also has the name of Adorn for the river.

Either the map that I, and apparantly Gil-Galad consulted are incorrect, or this is another reason which I am to tired to think of now.

I believe that the person who initially answered Adorn should go next, owing to the fact that we were talking about the same river.

[Gil-Galad]

hmm....strange...after i looked at the map in my ROTk, it is indeed the Adorn, but my big wall map of middle earth says it was the Swanfleet(i was using that map), so anyways it is the Adorn! whoever said Adorn can go next!


*Again somebody has given me a bad rep for no reason at all!!! i'm getting sick and tired of this...*

[Firefoot]

I guess that's me.

List four locations where a red sun was seen in LotR.

[Firefoot]

Anyone? How about three locations?

[Gil-Galad]

Rohan...Minas Tirith...and...umm...Fangorn?

[Firefoot]

Rohan - good.
Minas Tirith and Fangorn - if you can give me a quote I'll give it to you, but neither of those were places I had in mind.

[Firefoot]

I recently found the Minas Tirith reference, coincidentally, so only one more location would be needed...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Rohan, Minas Tirith, and the Crossroads.

[Firefoot]

That'll do!

Other places I had were Mordor and the Barrow-downs.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Where is Sauron's Isle by the end of the Third Age?

[Firefoot]

Long-since drowned by the Great Sea in the War of Wrath.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your thread. :)

[Firefoot]

Where was the Land of Bow and Helm?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

It's south of the Forest of Brethil, west of Doriath, east of Narog, and north of Nargothrond.

[Firefoot]

Perfecto.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Name the region in Aman south of the Bay of Eldamar.

[Alcarillo]

Avathar.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Take it. :)

[Alcarillo]

Name three Middle-earth mountain ranges named for colors.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Blue Mountains, the Grey Mountains, and the White Mountains.

[Alcarillo]

Yep. Your turn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

In which mountain range does Rerir belong to?

[Gil-Galad]

Ered Luin does it not?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your thread. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Gil-galad?

[Joy]

To bring this back up, what is Soronumë?

[Alcarillo]

A constellation.

[Joy]

Could you be more specific. What is it's translation and what constellation is it called today?

[Alcarillo]

It means "eagle of the west", and, although Tolkien never positively identified it, it has been suggested that Soronumë is the constellation Aquila.

[Joy]

Muy bueno!!! Your go :D

[Alcarillo]

By which river did Nulukkizdîn lay?

[Lindolirian]

The Narog.

[Alcarillo]

Yep, your turn.

[Lindolirian]

The "Fragrant Trees" were by the mouth of what river?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Nísinen.

[Joy]

Nunduinë

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Nísinen was a bloody lake!

*bangs head on random flat surface*

[Lindolirian]

Thanks for the welcome, Nil.
Close, but Joy has it.

[Joy]

Where was Nienor ensnared by Glaurung and what river is it near?

[Lindolirian]

Amon Ethir the Hill of Spies near, once again, the Narog. :)

[Joy]

Very good!!

[Lindolirian]

If I leave The Floating Log and travel in a straight line to Brandy Hall, what rivers would I have to cross?

[Iaurhirwen]

The River Brandywine (of course)
and possibly The Stockbrook, depending on how straight you can walk :p

[Lindolirian]

Spot on, good Iaurhirwen!

[Iaurhirwen]

What are the two other names for each of these mountains:

Redhorn
Silvertine
Cloudyhead

[Alcarillo]

Caradhras and Barazinbar
Celebdil and Zirakzigil
Fanuidhol and Bundushathûr

[Iaurhirwen]

From what I can remember, you are correct. However, I'm in the process of packing for college and regretfully my copy is LOTR is now occupying space at the bottom of my trunk and I am unable to confirm without a doubt your answer.

I strongly believe that you are correct. So I say go ahead and post the next question. I really can't wait until Monday and I can get everything set up again.

[Alcarillo]

Name an island named after a person.

[NightKnight]

Tol Morwen?

[Alcarillo]

Your turn, NightKnight.

[NightKnight]

Which mountain range was between the Red Mountains and the Yellow Mountains?

[Alcarillo]

The Mountains of the World, I think is the answer.

[NightKnight]

Nope.

[Alcarillo]

Mountains of the Wind! Karen Wynn Fonstad has deceived me!

[NightKnight]

Yep. Your turn. :)

[Alcarillo]

What was the most populous region of Numenor?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Arandor?

[Alcarillo]

Aye, Nilp, you got it.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

What is the name of the stream that flowed near Húrin's home?

[Alcarillo]

Nen Lalaith.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Back to you. :)

[Alcarillo]

Which two rivers' confluence created an inland delta?

[Iaurhirwen]

The River Limlight/Snowbourn depending on who you are talking to and the River Entwash

[Alcarillo]

One of those I was thinking of.

[Iaurhirwen]

Wow, what a mental block that was. Sorry it's the Entwash and the Anduin. That's what I get after being awake for 20 hours and just walking over 10 miles in a stupid scavenger hunt. I swear they just live to torment us freshmen.

[Alcarillo]

Yep, that's it. Iaurhirwen got it.

[Iaurhirwen]

Where was the home of Ratagast the Brown and what was it called?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Rhosgobel, in Rhovanion.

[Iaurhirwen]

yes. That was very easy, wasn't it? I must find better questions to ask. Hmmmm decisions, decisions.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

No hard questions, please! I wouldn't want my head to explode!

Hmmm . . . where does Cirith Ninniach lead into (from Hithlum, that is.)

[Alcarillo]

From Hithlum it leads into Lammoth. Well, it's right in front of the Firth of Drengist. If you head right you go into Lammoth, left into Nevrast.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Tag. You're it. :)

[Alcarillo]

Where was The Floating Log?

[Iaurhirwen]

In Frogmorton, in the Shire's eastfarthing

[Alcarillo]

Iaur's got it.

[Telchar]

Bumb!

[Iaurhirwen]

OH! Right!!! I'm supposed to have posted a question. I'm so sorry everybody! The first week of college really got me wrapped up and I totally forgot about this thread. But, no worries, I'm back.

Now, to think of a question . . . If you were sailing north from the Bay of Balar to the Firth of Drengist, what rivers would you encounter entering into the sea?

[The Perky Ent]

Um...i'm probably wrong about this...

If you're going along the coast, its Sirion, Nenning, Britchcn, then the Firth. Unless you count the rivers you pass from the latitude...or if i jsut got it wrong

[Iaurhirwen]

Yes, you're right Perky! Come on Down, You're the next contestant on The Price is . . . .ahem, I mean Geography Grilling

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Perks? Forgot this one.

[The Perky Ent]

Don't be hasty! I've been researching. And i've found my answer!

what is the longest river in Eriador?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I would not have a future as a Seer. ;)

Brandywine?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Greyflood River ? ? ?

But i am not sure, becourse later Greyflood becomes divided into loudwater and Hoarwel so ?

[The Perky Ent]

Well...I somehow lost (which I can't believe, because I treasure it over all of my resources) my Maps of Middle Earth book. However, a cursory glance would show that the Greyflood (not counting tributaries) and Brandywine seem pretty equal. However, since you're new, and I myself was thinking of the Greyflood, you get it Rune Son! Welcome to the Downs!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And let me join Perks in welcoming you, Rune Son of Bjarne! :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks for the welcoming :p and for giving me a chance to post a question, amongst such great people (and ents) :D


At the mouth of wich river lay Eglarest ?

[NightKnight]

Nenning, wasn't it?

Oh, and welcome as well. :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks.
and yes it is.

your turn.

[NightKnight]

What was the old name of Anfauglith?

[The Perky Ent]

Ard-Galen?

[NightKnight]

Yip. Your turn.

[The Perky Ent]

Where did the wife of Turin die?

An easy one, as my computer is mucho slow!

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Well she jumpet from Kabed-en-Aras (Kabed Naeramarth) down in the river Teiglin, so i guess she died in the Teiglin

[The Perky Ent]

Kabed-en-Aras indeed. Cabed Naeramarth after her death :D

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Witch small stream ran past the home of Húrin ?

[Alcarillo]

Nen Lalaith?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

If you were to ask me on a monday i would say yeeees!
If you were to ask me on a tuesday i would say yeeees!
If you were to ask me on a wednesday i would say yeeees!

actually no mather witch day you ask me i am going to say yeeees!

[Alcarillo]

On what mountain did Vinyamar sit?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

was it Taras?

[Alcarillo]

Mt. Taras is indeed correct.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Name the three great peaks of the Misty Mountains.

[The Perky Ent]

Time to get out my greatest resource (The atlas of Middle Earth Revised Edition )


Caredhras, Celebdil, and Methedras?

[Alcarillo]

Celebdil, Caradhras, and Fanuidhol.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Celebdil, Caradhras, and Fanuidhol.

was the answer i was looking for

Back to you Alcarillo

[The Perky Ent]

>.< Three big ones in the center. How could I have forgot!

To ere is human

If only that applied to me :(

[Alcarillo]

Another mountain one: What are the names of two mountains in the Ered Luin?

[The Perky Ent]

To the first age section!

Hope these are right: Mt. Rerir and Mt. Dolmed?

[Alcarillo]

Correct, Perky!

[The Perky Ent]

Elune be praised!

...whoops, wrong cult!

Where is Oatbarton, and which section of the place is it in?

[Telchar]

Oatbarton is on my maps a small village in the North Farthing, straight north of Hobbiton, half way to Lake Evendim :)

[The Perky Ent]

Correctamundo!

[Telchar]

I allow myself to make an "odd-out-question" - I promise that it is totally geografical, and has nothing to do with caracters, history or events.


Imladris
Ost-in-Edhil
West gate of Moria
Dol Guldur
Tharbad



@ #938: Brandywine is much longer than Greyflood. But the combined course of Greyflood and Hoarwell is the longest body of water in Eriador.

[The Perky Ent]

Tharbad, the only place not in Eriador?

[Telchar]

Are you serious? :eek: :eek: :eek:

[The Perky Ent]

...no. I mean to say Tharbad, the only place where a ring of power was not present

[Telchar]

NOPE... remember its strictly geografical. You can find the answer on a map ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Dol Guldur is the only place east of the Misty Mountains

[Telchar]

Not a bad guess Rune - but not what I had in mind.

Seriously - if you "LOOK" at a map you will find the answer :p

[The Perky Ent]

ooo I get it now! When I said Tharbad was the only place that wasn't in Eriador, I meant to say Dol Guldor!


Let me look at my map...and....

Dol Guldor - the only place not on a river?

[Telchar]

not on a river? true, but not what I had i mind... :(


As a further hint: Take a map -> put a piece of transparent paper on top -> Make a dot at each of the five locations - > put the map away - look at the dots ;)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Imladris

Is not on the same latitude as the others

[Telchar]

That is correct Rune :) You can more or less draw a straight east/west line through the other 4, but Imladris sticks out - you're up.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Name the highest mountain in the world and the mountain chain it is part of.

[The Perky Ent]

The world, when? If you're counting Aman, I'd guess it's Taniquetil, among the mountain range known as the Pelori

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Aman was included.

Yes it is in the Pelori, and gues what it is Taniquetil (Oiolossë)

[The Perky Ent]

Tell me how many mountain rangers there are in Arda, and what their names were! Yes, I know I'm evil http://www.forum-tvs.ru/idealbb/images/smilies/more/2/devil.gif

[Telchar]

The only rangers I know of are the Dunedain, and they lived in Eriador where few mountains are... :p

[The Perky Ent]

Curse my typo!


Tell me how many mountain rangers there are in Arda, and what their names were!

To make it easy, I'm just gonna ask for the mountain ranges that existed in the Third Age

[Telchar]

Ered Luin
Ered Mithrim
Iron Hills
Hithaglir
Ered Nimrais
Ered Lithui
Ephel Duath
Mountains of Mirkwood

how small mountians are we counting in???

The Barrow Downs? :p

I started - others may finish ;)

[The Perky Ent]

That was the general list. There's two that I can think of that you've left out. Well...one you've already named. Hmm...how do I put it. The two i'm thinking of are not in the lands you normally see on maps. Look twords the south, and twords the east, and you'll get the two mountain ranges you'll need before I can say you're correct. Good list though. Two more, and the thread is yours!

[Telchar]

Hmmmm.... I should try using a map another time :rolleyes:
Third age, right?

Ered Luin
Ered Mithrim
Iron Hills
Hithaglir
Ered Nimrais
Ered Lithui
Ephel Duath
Mountains of Mirkwood

East: Orocarni The mountains of the East
Further East: Walls of the Sun
South: Grey Mountains
West: Pelori
Last: You could argue for Morgai too
:D

[The Perky Ent]

Just looking for the Orocarni and Grey :D Third Age :p Your go!

[Telchar]

Im going away for a week (to lovely Spain), and won't be back until next monday, so anybody can continue this thread :)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

What separatet the lands of Forlindon and Harlindon ?

[NightKnight]

The gulf of Lhun, wasn't it?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

oh yes it was.

I trust you will take good care of this thread when I now pass it on to you.

[NightKnight]

Oh, don't say that. I don't like making up questions, especially not for this thread. But I shall have a try anyway.

Name three rivers/streams in the Shire.

[Dimturiel]

Brandywine, Stockbrook and The Water.

[NightKnight]

Touché.

[Dimturiel]

Name the tributaries of the river Gelion in Ossiriand.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Adurant
Duilwen
Brithor
Legolin
Thalos
Askar

should I allso count Little Gelion and Greater Gelion as tributaries ?

anyway I think I got them all.

[Dimturiel]

You have done well, my friend. :D . Do go on.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Thanks Dimturiel


Name the location of Amon Lanc

[Firefoot]

In Mirkwood, better known as Dol Guldur.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

your right.

I do belive if I may get technical: It was in the southern part of Greenwood. When Sauron moved in and build it bacame Dol Guldur and the forest became Mirkwood.

;) = it was a joke

[Firefoot]

Well, la-di-da. ;)

If I stood in Edoras facing the same direction in which the windows face in Bree and walked backwards about 250 miles before heading to the nearest city on a river. I continue upstream until I reach a bridge, where I turn left until I am in line (north-south wise) with the Dark Wood. From here I take a 150 mile trip to the northeast. Where do I finally arrive?
