Lómelindi

Aredhel was captured by Eöl, and bore him Maeglin, their son.

Good ob, Lomelindi! This is kind of harder: what is the name of the wizard that turned Rover into a toy?
Lómelindi
06-05-2002, 08:45 PM
Artaxerxes, a passing wizard whom Rover annoyed.

(I read Roverandom and loved it, and you don't easily forget a name like "Artaxerxes.")

Cool. Here's one:

What is Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck's formal/other name?
Elenya
06-16-2002, 02:51 PM
Well, Meriadoc has a translation from the Red Book that means the same thing: Kalimac. I don't think I right, though. The Rohirrim called him Holdwine.
Joy
06-16-2002, 03:39 PM
Meriadoc Brandybuck's real name was Kalimac Brandagamba.
Lómelindi
06-16-2002, 05:25 PM
Joy's got it.

(I didn't think it was possible for there to be an odder hobbit name than Meriadoc Brandybuck, but there it is…poor guy, he's got to have both of the weirdest names.)
Elenya
06-16-2002, 08:30 PM
I think it's a fairly interesting name. Besides, you have to admit that it's better than Fatty Bolger!! smilies/tongue.gif
Joy

Okay, can you give me 5 of Varda's 7 names?
Lindolirian
06-17-2002, 12:31 PM
Varda, Elbereth, Star Kindler, Queen of the Stars, Gilthoniel, Elentari, Tintalle.

Well Joy? Is Lindolirian correct?

They look correct to me (but that doesn't meen much) you could probebly just ask.
Luthien_ Tinuviel
06-26-2002, 08:47 PM
I think Lindolirian is correct.
Lindolirian
06-26-2002, 09:34 PM
Ok I'll either assume I'm correct or i'll just post cause its more than a week .. either way..... here i go.

How long is Iavas and between what modern dates does it occur?
Lómelindi
06-26-2002, 11:01 PM
Iavas is 54 days long and falls between August 12 and October 4 (our calendar, of course). It is the season of late summer through about mid-autumn.
Joy
06-26-2002, 11:04 PM
Lindo is correct. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
Lindolirian

Which sword was made of the same metal as Anglachel?
Daniel Telcontar
06-28-2002, 11:54 AM
Anguirel and Anglachel were made by Eöl, who made them of some meteor iron he found one day.
Lómelindi
06-28-2002, 12:59 PM
Yep, metal-scouring at its finest. Your go.

Why did Fingolfin and his army cross the Helcaraxe?
akhtene
06-28-2002, 03:09 PM
They had to, after Feanor deserted them taking all Telleri ships. The only way then to Middle Earth was by crossing the ice of Helcaraxe http://216.40.201.38/games/lufia/lufia2mon/lucloud3.gif
Daniel Telcontar
06-28-2002, 03:16 PM

Of couse I did.

What device was on Aragorn's sword Anduril?
akhtene
07-02-2002, 04:18 PM
Is it so very difficult? Look in the chapter "The Ring Goes South"
Lómelindi
07-02-2002, 08:51 PM
A device of seven stars set between the crescent Moon and the rayed Sun.

After what was Elwing named?
Ruthwen
07-03-2002, 12:05 PM
She was named after Lanthir Lamath, the waterfall.
Lómelindi
07-03-2002, 01:03 PM
smilies/cool.gif Correctamundo. Your turn.
Ruthwen
07-04-2002, 07:18 AM
Hmmm, I wonder if this one is too hard, since no one replied on the other one... well, never mind.

What did the people of Middle-earth call Vingilot when they first saw it, and what did that name mean?

If no one answers in two days, another random person can ask a question.
Lómelindi
07-04-2002, 01:21 PM
I'll take a rough stab at it, but I'm not that great at names.
Didn't they call it Rothinzol, which also means "Foam-Flower"?
Ruthwen
07-05-2002, 12:42 PM
No, sorry, that's wrong. smilies/frown.gif
Daniel Telcontar
07-05-2002, 12:49 PM
They called it Gil-Estel, the star of hope.
Ruthwen
07-08-2002, 04:14 AM
Yay, someone did know it after all! Correct.
Daniel Telcontar
07-08-2002, 04:56 AM
Then I have a question. Where was the second burial site of Elendil?
