Re: Items In Middle Earth

Correct. BTW, the beryl is related to the emerald but tends to be lighter in color at gem quality and a milky light green below gem quality. Ask away.

YEs. His will was in with the Ring. And 'other documents' most likely including those adoption papers. I'm sure that Lobelia went over those with a fine-tooth comb. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Re: Items In Middle Earth

I wonder if Hobbits had lawyers? What items were fashioned from or attributed to things which came to Middle Earth from beyond the circles of the world? I can think of four.

Weren't the sword Aranruth and Anglachel made of meteoric material?

Re: Items In Middle Earth

Anglachel is one. Aranruth was Thingol's sword and was passed on through Elros to the Kings of Numenor. It was not stated to be made from meteoric material. However, Anglachel should lead you to two more. The last one is more obscure.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

You got it, though I was thinking about Angrist, the knife, rather than Eol's armour. I forgot about the armour. Your question.

Since this is my 100th post, I'm celebrating by adding a sig. Hope it formats OK.

The Silmarils with living light were kindled clear, and waxing bright shone like stars that in the North above the reek of earth leap forth. </p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000004>Mithadan</A> at: 9/27/00 3:36:04 pm

OT: Comment on Mithadan's 100th post

Wow! 100 posts is a definite milestone at the Downs. We have a lot of registered users, but few that post more than a handful of remarks before they fade into the Void.

Though there are levels in between, the highest set level is 500 posts. At that moment you become a Ghost Prince of Cardolan and immediately eligible for a personal title. Of course, if your quality posts continue, we may have to consider dubbing you with a personal moniker sooner than 500.

Thanks, Mithadan!

Re: Items In Middle Earth

&quot;Tremendous service&quot;, indeed (grumble)! What, perchance is RGEO (it took me several minutes to figure out Adventures of Tom Bombadil)? By process of elimination, I went to Letters, but, as you know, that volume has an excreble index (I don't have the new edition). As I'm not inclined to make guesses (although I have suspicions) and don't have time to research, I'll get back to you, O Detail Oriented One.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

I gotcha, Red...I'll put them all...even thought I know you know most of them.

LOTR - The Lord of the Rings
HOB - The Hobbit
AOTB - The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
RGEO - The Road Goes Ever On
UT - Unfinished Tales
SIL - The Silmarillion
HIST - The History of Middle-Earth (I guess all of them, if that is what HIST is)

That doesn't leave much...like maybe...Tolkien (Biography), A Tolkien Compass(?), The Complete Guide to Middle-Earth, The Letters of Tolkien....?? I dunno...

For the Acro challenged:
Lord of the rings, Hobbit, Adventures of tom bombadil, Road goes ever on, Unfinished tales, Silmarillion, History (series).

Add to the list LETTERS as a place to NOT go.

I did say 'little known'...

The info is available in at least 2 other books not mentioned however.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

One hint too many. Talk about obscure! Menelluin. A plaque bearing the emblem of Idril Celebrindal , a corn flower pattern, &quot;saved from Gondolin and descending through Earendil and his son Elros to Numenor, whence it was saved by Elendil and taken to Gondor&quot;. Plate No. 47, Heraldic Devices, Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien. Nassssty riddle.

What's the second book?

Re: Items In Middle Earth

The Nauglamir/Silmaril was possessed by Elwe during the First Age but Earendil brought it to Valinor during the First Age. Since arguably it occaissionally returns to Valinor and may have been there at some point during the Second Age, I'll redefine the question. What item possessed by Elwe during the First Age did not make its way to Valinor until the Second Age?

This is a little tricksy. So, the latter part of the Second Age is a (very) little hint.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

Congrats on your 100th post Wight Saulotus.

Indeed, Aranruth was Thingol's sword and became the sword of the kings of Numenor. Although not stated expressly in Akallabeth, when Ar-Pharazon stepped onto the shores of Valinor and was buried in the landslides thst followed, Aranruth would have been buried with him. BTW, there's an excellent letter from Tolkien from 1958 explaining that the Valar had to lay down their governance of Arda for that time because their duty was to foster the Children of Iluvatar rather than make war upon them.

Ask away.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

I can give you three more off the top of my head.
Amon Anwar (Hill of Awe, where the tomb of Elendil was placed)
Amon Ereb (Hill in the Silmarillion where Denethor (the elf) died)
Amon Obel (Hill in Brethil where the Haladin lived)

Good question, by the way!

Re: Items In Middle Earth

Thanks, V.

Ok, I was not thinking of Anwar, so that is 12 now. The other two are correct, so we still have 3 to go that I can think of. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

On a side note: Amon Lhaw, spelled with the H. Just FYI. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Lanc (which was later called Dol Gundur)

Re: Items In Middle Earth

Okay, I wasn't thinking of that one, either. I think that's because I know it as Dol Guldur (that's what you meant, right?) and I have never heard it referred to as Amon Lanc. But, nevertheless, there are still 3 more to go that I am thinking of. We can stop soon, but let's see if anyone else wants to play. This is educational. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Side note: Amon Hen is the Hill of Sight. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Re: Items In Middle Earth

That is another one! Just 1 to go! Hmm...a clue, eh? This one is a little more...obscure I think. It was in RotK, and it means 'mount ever-snow-white'. Okay, if that doesn't do it, nothing will...give me the Amon name for it and we'll be done.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

getting even closer... but Norwegian had changed a lot since older days compared to the 'ideal' language JRRT thought of. Maybe Norwegian did not have the air of myth which the tongue in question possesses... the names of the dwarves and of Gandalf are taken from a source in this respective language, this might be a reaso why JRRT was so delighted in his late days to here &quot;The Hobbit&quot; got translated.

Quenya was heavily influenced by Suomi (Finnish), and to a lesser degree by Latin and Greek (although Q. is less 'consonantical' than both).

In this tie situation we now have I let you decide who's to go on, but I don't really need to.

Re: Items In Middle Earth

That's not quite what I was looking for, Saul. Tengwar is indeed an old script, Tengwar of Rúmil being the oldest. However, Tengwar of Fëanor came along after Rúmil.

For the answer to my question, think more of a language than a script. The answer is found in the Appendices of LotR. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Also think farther back...

Re: Items In Middle Earth

Ok; you asked for scripts and letters so I assumed that meant scripts and letters.

Language-wise would be Sindarin, as it was the only widely used Elvish language in the Third Age (as asked), as Quenya had fallen into an archaic elf-latin.

The Sindarin used in the Third Age was that developed from ancient Telerin (Lindarin) with some added Quenya (mostly synonymous with the term Noldorin) words (of which Quenya was enriched with some Valian words). No other Elvish tongues or scripts were used in the Third Age in Middle-earth (as specified in the question).

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> The scripts and letters used in the Third Age were all ultimately of Eldarin origin...<hr></blockquote>

Re: Items In Middle Earth

Correct!
You could have explained the origin of Elessar (you knew it was in UT):
The original Elessar was made by Enerdhil and was taken to Valinor by Earendil, from here there are two explanations:
- It was brought back to Middle-Earth by Gandalf
- Celebrimbor made a second Elessar for Galadriel

Re: Items in Orthanc

This question should have been reserved for the UT thread, strictly speaking.

Jewls and heirlooms of Eorl, as well as treasures found in mounds far and wide. A golden casket on a necklace, no doubt inteded for the Ring; but most precious of all was the gliimering Elendilmir of Isildur, lost when he was slain by Orcs.

Re: Items in Orthanc

A steel closet, perhaps intended to recieve the Ring; yet it was almost bare. in a casket on a high shelf were laid the golded locket and the Elendilmir.

I believe he kept it for 1000 years, since Gil-Galad gave it before the Last Alliance and the end of Second Age, until he gave it to Gandalf when he arrived Middle Earth in 1000 Third Age (more or less).

I can't remember Elrond asking for any specific items of Aragorn for Arwen's hand - but he did say that Arwen could only marry the King of Gondor and Arnor, so would it be the Crown of Gondor and the Sceptre of Arnor?

Rings on Weathertop

This will be disputed Gwaihir, because no-one knows for sure whether Nazgul held their rings or not; however most would argue that they did not hold their rings and Sauron held them under his power, because if they did have them on their fingers Frodo would've seen them when he put the One Ring on. Taking the point of view that they did NOT hold their rings, Two - Narya, that Gandalf received from Cirdan when he first arrived, and the One Ring that Frodo bore (obviously.) However, if you choose to count the Nazgul, the answer is seven. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Was the stone of Emyn Beraid the stone of Elendil? That who did only looked to Tol Eressea where the Master of the Stones lives.

BTW, the answer of the previous question would have been 11, if we count the Rings of the Nazgûl; since all nine attacked Gandalf at the Weathertop.

I considered Gandalf as one of the people who had held the Ring, since he throw it to the fire when he was with Frodo, but there is still one more.
The one left is not mentioned in LOTR, but his existance it's obvious.

Re. The Ring

I think I found what you were looking for. Maybe you're meaning that time, when Frodo rests at Rivendel after the battle against the Nazgûl at Bruinen's side and somebody changes the chain the Ring was held in. I think that unknown person could be Elrond or maybe Gandalf but the discussion is totally unnecessary as he is not mentioned at all (at least as far as I know).

Re: Re. The Ring

Since this one has lain fallow for I while, I thought I might re-awaken it. Evinyatar, if you drop by, just interrupt with a new question and I'll withdraw mine.

A certain member of Rohan's royal family slew Scatha and in response to a demand by some dwarves for return of their horde sent this with his response. Who was the sender and what did he send?

Re: Unique Necklace

Fram sent the teeth of Scatha made into a necklace back to the dwarves.

Re: Items in ME

I had the ring of Barahir in mind, but I was thinking that Elrond gave it to him as King Elessar, along with the scepter and crown. Elessar was the name I used in my Q, so it was technically not correct, as the ring was given to Estel. (Several ppl have stated in posts that the rule of this room is that you have to state the right name for the time period that the question refers to.) So you got the Q right even though I screwed it up.

What browser are you using, out of curiosity, Sharku? I can't do that with Opera. Or IE. *edit: it works with IE...strange. Very strange <img src=biggrin.gif ALT=":D">

He took the whole hand of Barahir, which the orcs had cut off before, with the ring still on it.

Re: Items in ME

I've finally figured out barrowdowns-speak. When someone says &quot;Here's an easy one&quot;, what they really mean is &quot;Here's an obscure question from one of the minor works that only the truly crazed Middle Earth connouisseurs among you will know&quot; !! <img src=wink.gif ALT=";)">

Re: Items in ME

I think that ca be found in Silm. So, it may seem obscure, but it isn't really. Better luck next time <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

It's rather possible that the one who asked the question some months ago was th same that has asked it now (I have a horrible memory).

At the end of the War of the Ring, where were the last remaining Palantiri in Middle Earth?

Re: Items in ME

Let me think, at the beginning, there were only three palantiri left: those of Orthanc, Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul. During the war of the Ring, the one of Minas Morgul (which was in Barad-dûr) was destroyed. So te only palantiri left were those of Orthanc and Minas Tirith.

I don't know why I feel I have forgotten something, but I can't remember what.

You forgot about the one in the Elostirion.
