strange lights in the sky

[Mat_Heathertoes]

My first post but it's probably been asked before. What was the only given name of the southern inland sea formed by the 'fall' of Ormal?

[Lindolirian]

The Inland Sea of Ringol. Illiun made Helcar

[Mat_Heathertoes]

Correctamnundo - your turn ..

[Lindolirian]

YES! Of course it does ... such a fascinating subject isn't it ? smilies/evil.gif

No, just kidding .. you go with whatever takes you ..... as long as its about "the names of all the stars, and of all living things, and the whole history of Middle-Earth and Over-heaven and of the Sundering Seas" - what less?

[Lindolirian]

Ok i read the first line of your reply and almost felt myself go pale! smilies/smile.gif Alright here goes:
What is the name of the son of Bard the Bowman?

[Lindolirian]

Hint: the father of Brand

[Mat_Heathertoes]

my apologies for the tardy reply ... Bain was the in-between king of Dale smilies/smile.gif

[Lindolirian]

Yes it was Bain and don't worry about the reply. I was toiling over your question about the land of fragrant trees and was about to post when i found that Bruce had beat me to it... smilies/frown.gif oh well

[Mat_Heathertoes]

smilies/smile.gif Yup, he's obviously related to Rumil of Tirion in some fashion. One more - burial mounds aside .. what was the only 'man-made' hill in Beleriand ?

[Lindolirian]

The threefold peaks ofThangorodrim were piled by Morgoth from the refuse of the tunellings of Angband. But he's not a man. If thats not right is the hill possibly elf made or is it truly man made?

[Mat_Heathertoes]

smilies/smile.gif The feature in question is actually in Beleriand-proper .. not those areas that tend to get associated with Beleriand ie,

Hithlum
Dorthonion
Ard-Galen/Anfauglith
Lothlann
Ered Engrin & Thangorodrim

Hope this narrows it down a bit!

PS - It's elf-made!

[Lindolirian]

Okay then, i'm not too sure if thiss wil count either: Haudh-en-Ellath or Amon Obel

[Orald]

Amon Ethir, constructed by Felagund.

[Mat_Heathertoes]

smilies/biggrin.gif Spot on .. now it's your turn ..

[Orald]

Asked this one almost a year ago, let's see if anyone remembers. What was the Brightest star in the skies of ME.

hint: It isn't Earendil and the Silmaril.

[Joy]

Is it Borgil? I was thinking that Menelvagor is equal to Orion. So the brightest star and the red star of Orion is Beetlegues(sp?).

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

the Sun?

[Telchar]

I don't know that much about stars but I would say HELLUIN which is that same as Sirius?

[Orald]

Telchar get's it! Your move my good man.

[Telchar]

The Star of Eärendel is equivelent to ________ of our world?

[Watcher in the Water]

Venus? Just a long shot...

[Telchar]

Actually Im not 100% sure - but it was what I had in mind - it's logic that The Eveningstar and Venus is one and the same... Go on WiW
