This is quiz for everyone, but topics are limited to only the LotR books, The Hobbit, creatures (from Eru to the Flies of Mordor), plants, Kingdoms/realms, landmasses, and forms of water.

FIRST: Who were the forms Horses taken of, and who's steed was he? Also mention his name, and if possible, the color of his hooves and coat.

Pallando, I'm not quite sure of your question.

What I am thinking of is the Meares, the Horses of Rohan. I was thinking that these horse were an ospring of Nahar, the Horse of Oromė, the Valar. His coat was white in the sunlight and silver in the moonlight. I don't remember if it said anything about his hooves.

Palando, I thought his hooves were golden, but I couldn't find it in the Sil. I remembered reading that somewhere though.

She walks not by dy, but sleeps upon an island in the tree-shadowed lake of Lorellin.

I had my copy of the Silm handy.
Where did Eol live and who was he related to besides Maeglin and Aredhel?
Joy

Salix, just re-read that chapter today!

Eöl lived in Nan Elmoth and King Thingol was his kinsman.

What does Helluin represent? smilies/eek.gif
Pallando

Helluin: The name in Middle-Earth for the star today known as the Dog Star, Sirius. Its name appears to mean 'ice-blue'. Helluin is the brightest of Varda’s stars!

Good?

Very good Palando. Also, according to HoMe, it represents Tulkas's son, Telimektar.

Ok so far i make ur question to be...
(i can't find a translation for "Ya") exatled or lofty did Aragorn (i take it you mean him since his nickname is capitalized rather than just meaning "hope") and the Halfings can't find translation for the rest. So, im guessing its somethimg about Aragorn, the hobbits and the Nazgul. The only encounter between all of them was at Weathertop. Perhaps you are asking how they kept the Ringwraiths away. That was with fire. hmmm i can't think of many other questions you might ask, but i do now i just made it a HECK of alot easier on the next person in case i did get it wrong. gee whiz... smilies/eek.gif

LOL!!!! smilies/tongue.gif smilies/smile.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

Lin, you are partally correct. Amon Sul. BTW, "Ya arta did Estel ar tara Periannath fuume at, iire tara Kormaorme[3] (tara Nazgūl) ohtacyr?" means "What fort did Estel[1] and the Halflings[2] sleep at, when the Ringwraiths (the Nazgūl) attack?"

Your turn!

[1] Aragorn
[2] Hobbits
[3] The accual words that "ring" and "wraiths" transfer into if you want to use a diffrent name aside from "The Ring-wraiths", "Wraiths", and "The Nazgūl".
