In this game, I name someone, and you have to tell me something he did, then you ask, and so on.
But what they did has to be in a book somewhere!

I'll start: Ulfang

Celebrian married Elrond and was poisoned by an arrow, and so departed over the sea.

[Childlike Empress]

I shall drag this up from the depths of the fourth page with, Beregond smilies/smile.gif

[gralin musicteeth]

Arod!!

[Childlike Empress]

Arod is Legolas' Rohirrim horse, but you were supposed to tell me who Beregond is smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

Beregrond was a soldier in the third company of the citadel. He left his post and killed men in the hallows to prevent Denothor from burning Faramir.

[alaklondewen]

I'm going to revive this thread. Since I am interested in learning something, this one might help us learn about new people and keep track of names. Okay, let's start with an easier one...

Ohtar

[Liriodendron]

He brought the shards of Narsil to Rivendell. He was Isildur's esquire.

[alaklondewen]

Yes, proceed.

[Liriodendron]

All right, Who were they? smilies/smile.gif


Everard Took and Melilot Brandybuck

[alaklondewen]

What an excellent choice of people! I see them in the family trees of the Tooks and Brandybucks, but I'm not finding mention of them anywhere. Can you give me a direction? Which book they are mentioned in, maybe?

[Manardariel]

They danced on the table during Bilbo´s speech on that Birthday Party

[Liriodendron]

Yes, that's it! smilies/smile.gif The impertinent young hobbits who couldn't wait for Bilbo to finish speaking! (I tried to think of some names that wouldn't be in a Middle Earth type index.) smilies/biggrin.gif Next!

[Manardariel]

Well...they were... smilies/biggrin.gif *blush*
Ok then, new one...

Baldor

[Lyra Greenleaf]

did he die in the paths of the dead?

[Manardariel]

Noo....and *bump* smilies/wink.gif

[Lyra Greenleaf]

bump

is that a clue?

[Manardariel]

Lol, no! that is the deribing of an action... smilies/biggrin.gif

[alaklondewen]

Unless there is another Baldor, he did die in the Paths of the Dead. He was the oldest son of the second King of Rohan during the time when Meduseld was built. It was said that during the feast of celebration for the completion of Meduseld, Baldor announced that he would walk the Paths of the Dead. However, he passed the doors never to be seen again by any in Rohan.

[Manardariel]

oooops, that was a missunderstanding then. I ment Baldor, who brought the Red arrow to Rohan, but he was onviously nnmaed afer the other one smilies/rolleyes.gif my bad, so sorry. Anny one of you can go...

[alaklondewen]

Lyra answered correctly first. I just added more detail. She can go next.

[alaklondewen]

*clears throat* Lyra, did you realize it was your turn?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

no, i'm sorry. i didn't realise i was right!

ok, here goes: what is Sador famous for?

[gilraën]

Sador was the servant of Hurin and friend of his son Turin, who renamed him Labadal.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

exactly. your go!

[gilraën]

What was Niniel famous for?

[Rochelle]

Wedding her brother? *lol*

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

casting herself into the Teiglin?

[Manardariel]

Being unhappy? (hey, she was)
*does anyone else think this is a BIT random?

[gilraën]

Okay Rochelle, you ask one.

[Rochelle]

Alrighty let's see here...

Who was famous for their radical development of the cirth (runes)?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Daeron?

[Rochelle]

yep! Daeron it was smilies/smile.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Which Vala was famous for her dancing?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Nessa?

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

precisely.... that was too easy wasn't it.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

What is Laura Grubb 'famous' for?
(hint- it's all relative)

[gilraën]

She was Bilbo's Grandmother

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Yes! Your go.

[gilraën]

What was Lothiriel famous for?

[alaklondewen]

She is Prince Imrahil's daughter and King Eomer's wife.

[gilraën]

Correct, your go smilies/smile.gif

[Manardariel]

This was fun... new one!

Who was Brodda?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

An Easterling who ruled Hithlum in the First Age

[Manardariel]

Ah oui, Mademoiselle Lyra! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Merci beaucoup, c'etait un question tres interessant.

What was Walda's claim to fame?

[Manardariel]

Ah, tu parles le francais!

Walda, c´était un roi du Rohan, n´est-ce pas? smilies/smile.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

I'm fairly certain that Manardariel said this already, but since my French is hideous, I could very well be wrong. smilies/tongue.gif So I'll say it, on the off-chance that it hasn't been answered yet. Walda was a particularly shortlived king of Rohan.

Sophia

[Lyra Greenleaf]

You're both right but I wanted something slightly more specific...

[Eruanna]

Walda was King of the Mark for only nine years. He was mentioned in the funeral dirge for Theoden. His tomb was on the east side of the burial mounds and Theoden's was nearby. He was not of the line of Eorl, but was descended from Helm's nephew's (Frealaf's) line.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

It pertains to his demise...

[Beren87]

Well, he was ambushed and slain by Orcs near Dunharrow.

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Ooops, Beren's go!

[Beren87]

Galdor, both of them.

[alaklondewen]

Galdor the Tall was Hurin's father and Lord of Dor-Lómin.

The other Galdor was sent by Círdan to the Council of Elrond.

[Beren87]

Correct, and therefor of course your go my dear Alak.

[alaklondewen]

Thank you, sweet Baron Beren. smilies/wink.gif

Who was Umarth?

[Beren87]

That's another name for Turin, and I hope you're not going to make me list Turin's accomplishments...

[alaklondewen]

I can't believe I have to say this, but Beren, that's not right. smilies/frown.gif You are really close though...

[Mariska Greenleaf]

It is actually the fictif name Turin gave his father, it means "Bad-luck"

[alaklondewen]

Okay, this is the Fame Game... smilies/wink.gif Who is Turin's father and what was he famous for?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

It's hard to describe, because it is not really a person, right?
So, I would say, it was because of the curse of Morgoth upon Turin and his kin, Turin called himself son of Umarth, ill fate.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Túrin's father was Húrin Thalion. At the Nirnaeth Arnoediad he and his warriors fought a rearguard action that allowed Turgon to escape the field. Húrin was defeated by weight of numbers, captured and taken to Morgoth, whom he defied.

Many years later, having been forced to watch the destruction of his family, he was released to wander Beleriand. Unwittingly he gave away the rough location of Gondolin when he journeyed there to reprove Turgon for his failure to protect his family, thus playing into his old enemy's hands. During his later wanderings he also encountered and killed Mîm the petty dwarf in the ruins of Nargothrond, thus avenging the betrayal of Bar-en-Danwedh to the Orcs.

However, 'Son of Ill-Fate' doesn't refer to Túrin's real parentage, but is intended to conceal it. Therefore Úmarth is nobody at all.

[alaklondewen]

Well, you are both correct, but since Mariska answered first...I have to give it to her. However, thank you, Squatter for the detailed information on Hurin.

Mariska, you're up. smilies/smile.gif

[Mariska Greenleaf]

thanks smilies/wink.gif

Who was Musgash and what did he do?

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

An Orc of the Tower of Cirith Ungol. He was, as was reported to Grishnakh, the Orc that Sam had seen killed by an arrow from the tower while running for the gate.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

that's right, you're up! smilies/smile.gif

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Thanks, the indexes at the back of the books prove useful for this game...

State the inventor of the Cirth, and name something else he was famous for.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

the inventor is Fëanor, he led the host of the Noldor back to ME to avenge his father's death and recover the Silmarils from Morgoth.
He was slain in his assault on Agband.
