[Cirdan the Shipwright]

Greetings all - I'm back (okay, I was actually back once before, but this time I should be back for a while). Did you miss me?

My first question is, what have I got in my pocket?

- Cirdan (formerly Maglor68)

[Turambar]

Not fair! not fair! It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in its nassty little pocketses.

[Cirdan the Shipwright]

It was a trick question - I'm not wearing any pants! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Or is that too much information?

Just kidding. Here's an easy one -

Other than Treebeard, who is the longest ruling being in Middle Earth (as of the beginning of the fourth age)?

- Cirdan / Maglor68

[Turambar]

Longest ruling? Meaning Tom doesn't count? How about Galadriel? Or you?

P.s. WAY too much information !

[Elrian]

Longest ruling? Cirdan.

[Telchar]

hmmm That would be some Silvan or Nandorin elf that established a kingdom in the far far east that we have never heard of - But I guess Elrain (as always) is right smilies/smile.gif

[Cirdan the Shipwright]

I don't know - technically Turambar guessed it when he said "you". Telchar, who should I give it to?

Stone Trolls, Cave Trolls, Hill Trolls, and the Olog-Hai. Perhaps Ents, it never really specified, only that they could be an imitation of Ents.

Who was the last lord of the Éothéod?

[Bruce MacCulloch]

There are two possible answers, depending on how you look at it.
Eorl was the first king of Rohan, but before that he was the lord of the Eotheod. Therefore Eorl was the last lord of the Eotheod.
But if you don't count Eorl, it would be Leod his father.

[Androndo the Thoughtfull]

I can only say one word:

Yes...

[Bruce MacCulloch]

Beor, the Man that served Felagund so well, had another name before he entered Felagund's service. What was it?
