What woodworker was Turin friends with as a boy?

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>

Sador. He was halt of foot, so Turin called him Labadal, meaning `Hopafoot`, but the name was given in pity rather than scorn.

It is where the Oath of Cirion and Eorl was performed, it originally contained the gravesite of Elendil, it was the site for the Tradition of Isildur until Cirion ended the practice, it was the highest, last in line, and last built of the beacon towers, it was originally the midpoint of the Kingdom of Gondor, and a border mark for Rohan as the souce area for the Mering stream.

No it isn't.

As additional help; it DOES begin with an 'A' however.
It is not indexed in UT, and can only be found in one note in the text.
This is the UNFINISHED TALES (Tuor, Narn, etc.) only trivia thread correct?

Í've just realised what was my mistake: I put the stone portal after the iron and bronze ones, so the correct order is:
1-wood
2-stone
3-BRONZE
4-iron
5-silver
6-golden
7-steel

Lord Imrahil pops up to mind in a first place, though any of the Tooks fits well in as well

according to Gandalf, who was witnessing some gardener's words, Bilbo used to walk aimlessly (but with a secret desire to meet elves) during this holiday. Name the holiday, which all the peoples had, but it differed in date of it's coming

Yule. I am assuming it is Yule since everyone had a new year.

Re: fire, fire!

Finally, I have thought of a question:

Who told Turin that Tuor was his cousin?

Re: fire, fire!

Voronwe never met Turin, as far as I can remember. Beleg?

Re: fire, fire!

I thought this might be a hard one....

No, it wasn't Beleg. The answer is found only in UT.

mmmm

As far as I can remember, the answer must be Gelmir or Arminas, when they went to Nargothrond to give Orodreth the warning of Ulmo.

If I have to choose one as my answer I would choose Gelmir.

Re: mmmm

blimey I should not have been so hasty - I really answered like if you were asking who revealed to Tuor that Turin was his cousin! But even than I would not have been right - neither Woronve, nor Tuor never knew who was the black swordsman they met.

Re: mmmm

I'll give this one to Grond. The answer was in face Arminas, but there wasn't really much difference between he and Gelmir.

Ask away Grond!

Re: mmmm

I knew it! I knew I would choose the wrong one!

And here's my question: Who helped Morwen to escape from Hithlum?

Morwen

I'm not exactly sure; but would it be Aerin? That would be my answer, and if that is wrong Sador. Or perhaps messengers out of Doriath; but I cannot find a definite answer anywhere, not in the Narn i Hin Hurin or in the Sil. Ai! <img src=ohwell.gif ALT=":/">

Next Q

Thanks. I was under the impression you wanted to know who was with her escaping from Hithlum, i.e. who was walking with her; and I never remembered anything said about that <img src=rolleyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"> hence my unsureness (?) Anyway: Name the town that is found among the marshes at the outlet of the Siril in Numenor.
