Battles

[Lindolirian]

Sorry about the delay; you are correct.

[Lindolirian]

Ahem... Go ahead Finwe.

[Finwe]

Right-o! Just because I feel like being difficult, this question is going to be a riddle:


We are partially rabbits,
Famous for bringing chocolate,
We are partially children,
Or an old tea-drinker's word for them,
We were named for our transports,
Our nassty, nassty transports,
Killed a king we did,
Killed his son we did,
And killed his other son who came along,
Yet killed were we, rather disgracefully,
While getting drunk, and drinking some more,
The place we died is something scouts do,
Oh woe are we, Oh woe are we.


Try making sense out of that one. The answer that I'm looking for is the battle where the answer to the riddle was slain.

[nobody]

I think it was the Battle of the Camp or something like that.

[Finwe]

Yes indeed. Your go.

[Gil-Galad]

*bump*

[nobody]

Sorry about that. I have exams. Which war was going on when the entwives were lost? Should be easy.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

The War of the Last Alliance?

[nobody]

No it was before that.

[Elrond of Rivendell]

I just found a quote:
I remember it was long ago - in the time of the war between Sauron and the Men of the Sea ... .
Could it be the war between Sauron and the Kings of Numenor, although I don't recall its exact name? smilies/wink.gif

[nobody]

Yes correct

[Elrond of Rivendell]

In which battle did Eorl ride to aid Cirion?

[NightKnight]

The Battle of Celebrant?

[Elrond of Rivendell]

Correct. Your go NightKnight.

[NightKnight]

In what battle did Ancalagon meet his doom?

[Lindolirian]

The War of Wrath in which he was slain by Earendil.

[NightKnight]

Yup, please continue.

[Lindolirian]

Name the battles in which one or more Balrog was present.

[NightKnight]

All of them? Wow...

I suppose there were some when the Valar defeated Melkor the first time, when the Elves where just born.
They defeated Ungoliant when Morgoth had stolen the Silmarils.
Dagor-nuin-Giliath
They captured Maedhros after the battle.
Dagor Aglareb?
Nirnaeth Arnoediad
Dagor Bragollach
The Fall of Gondolin
The one that Glorfindel fought on the way out
War of Wrath
Durin's Bane killing Durin and Nain
Battle of the Peak

I think that's all...

[Lindolirian]

Nice research... Go on smilies/smile.gif

[NightKnight]

I'm reading Silm right now, so it wasn't that hard. smilies/wink.gif

Anyway, list the battles of the WotR.

[NightKnight]

*Bump*
Anybody?

[Estanesse]

Atack of the white consel attack on Dol Guldur.
Battles of the Fords of Isen.
Helm’s Deep.
Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
Battle of Slag Hills.
The Battle of Bywater.

Did I forget one?

[NightKnight]

Several. smilies/wink.gif

Also, I don't count Dol Guldur as WotR, since it was around 80 years earlier.

[Estanesse]

I would like to add the following :) , the attack on Lothlorien and the battle of Dale. Rivendell was also under attack, but I’m not sure if you count it as a war :rolleyes: (the same with the Ents attack on Isengard).

I'm sure I forget one or two ;)

[NightKnight]

Rivendell was never under attack. And you're still missing some. :p

[Lindolirian]

The Battles of the Fords of Isen
Battle of the Peak? (Hey, it started in defence of the Ringbearer) ;)
Battle of the Hornburg (Helm's Deep)
Battle at Pelargir (Grey Company and Dead Men v. Corsairs)
Battle of Pelennor Fields
Battle Of Dale and Erebor
Battle of the Morannon
The Invasion of the Wold by Orcs (stopped by the Ents)
Assault against Lorien by Dol Guldur
Retaliation of Lorien and the Downfall of Dol Guldur
Battle of Bywater

[NightKnight]

So close! Just one more! :D

[Estanesse]

A battle under the trees in Mirkwood

[NightKnight]

Right! Estanesse or Lindolirian may continue.

[Estanesse]

If Lindolirian want, he may continue :)

[Lindolirian]

In which battle did Lòmion die?

[NightKnight]

In the Fall of Gondolin.

Lomion = Maeglin.

[Lindolirian]

Of course, Proceed!

[NightKnight]

How many battles did Aragorn fight in on his way to become the king? (I'm only counting those after he met Frodo)

[Sleepy Ranger]

After meeting Frodo, lets see......well at Amon Hen if you count that as a battle. Helms Deep, Pellenor, The Black Gate and The one at Umbar where he Took(ha!) the dead and that at Weathertop though I'm not sure if he fought all it says is Frodo say Strider jump out of the darknees and so on.

[NightKnight]

That's good, please continue. :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

well next question-

In which battle was the past tense of the synonym of "get" nearly get crushed under a big beast but saved by one near the ground?And name the 2 people.

[Arvedui III]

I don't pretend to know what the 'get' clue is about, but it sounds like the battle of Morannon, when Pippin was crushed under a troll and save by Gimli, who is low to the ground. Or maybe Beregond and Pippin, who is also closer to the ground than most.

[Sleepy Ranger]

The battle of Morannon, Pippin saved by Gimli it is,
Continue.:)

[Arvedui III]

Thanks. Herm...here's an easy one. Name all the battles in which eagles came to the rescue.

[NightKnight]

The War of Wrath, the escape of the fugitives of Gondolin, the Battle of Five Armies, the battle at Morannon...those are all I can think of.

[Arvedui III]

Those are all the ones I can think of too. Your go NightKnight.

[NightKnight]

Name the two elven leaders that were killed during the first two battles in the Beleriand wars (the first unnamed one and Dagor-nuin-Giliath).

[Lindolirian]

Denethor and Fëanor.

[NightKnight]

You're right, please continue. :)

[Lindolirian]

Name at least five battles that hobbits have been in.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Pellenor, Morannon, The Battle of Bywater, Amon-Hen, Battle of Greenfields

[Lindolirian]

Amon Hen? One on hundreds, no matter how well he did, is hardly a battle. The rest are good though. First person to come up with the fifth battle wins!

[Sleepy Ranger]

The March of the Ents against Isengard. And the Battle of the Five Armies.

[Lindolirian]

That works!

[Sleepy Ranger]

Name the 3 who got caught up in a wa rather unknowingly.

[rutslegolas]

i think they are pippin,merry,ents
but i think my answer is wrong

[Sleepy Ranger]

Well not Treebeard. M & P aren't whom I had in mind but they also fit in. First person to name the third takes it.

[NightKnight]

Fingolfin during the kinslaying of Alqualonde?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Well not whom I had in mind......But take it away...

[NightKnight]

Who did you have in mind then?

Morgoth, Sauron and Gothmog killed two noldorin lords each. Say who killed who, and in what battles.

[Lindolirian]

Morgoth killed Finwë before the door of Formenos. He also killed Fingolfin in the duel at the gate of Angband.
Sauron killed Celebrimbor in the first War of the Ring when he overran Eregion. He later killed Gil-Galad during the Seige of Barad-dur.
Gothmog killed Fëanor in the Dagor-nuin-Giliath, and died while killing Ecthelion in the Sack of Gondolin.

[NightKnight]

So close. But maybe I should have been more specific. I was looking for people from Finwë's House, but I'll give it to you. The last one was Fingon during Nirnaeth.

[Lindolirian]

In what battle was Gelmir killed?

[NightKnight]

Supposing you mean Gwindor's brother, he was killed just before Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

[Lindolirian]

Correct!

[NightKnight]

An easy one: Name the four battles of the Beleriand wars that were named.

[symestreem]

Dagor-nuin-Giliath; Dagor Agraleb; Dagor Bragollach; Nirnaeth Arnoediad

[NightKnight]

It was actually Aglareb, but I suppose that's what you mean. Your turn. :)

[Arvedui III]

This thread should not die. At least it should not die alone, unaided.

[Lindolirian]

So don't let it die! It's been ten days y'know... :rolleyes:
In the Battle of Pelennor Fields who led the archers against the Oliphaunts?

[Finwe]

Duilin and Derufin?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Duilin and Derufin. :)

Aw, Elf! Finwe, we cross-posted!

[Finwe]

Ha... well, I'm a minute ahead!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Well, that "minute" could have been mere seconds, as 11:08.52 and 11:09:03 is separated not by a minute.

Oh, get off it! She posted first!

[Lindolirian]

And it would seem that the faster typist wins! So sorry, Nil :rolleyes:

[Lindolirian]

Alright Nil, Finwë's been gone too long. It's your thread now since you also had the correct answer!

[Finwe]

Oops... sorry... completely forgot about this thread.... if Nil doesn't show up, can I go ahead and post a new one?

[Lindolirian]

Oh yeah, you popped up just in time! Nice... :)

[Finwe]

Haha... all right...

In the name of which battle was Niobe's stream involved?


This'll take a little knowledge about Greek mythology as well.

[Lindolirian]

Yet tears continued to to flow; and, borne on a whirlwind to her native mountain, she still remains, a mass of rock, from which atrickling stream flows, the tribute of her never-ending grief.
Nirnaeth Arnoediad

[Finwe]

Excellent work! Your turn.

[Lindolirian]

When was the Battle of Eriador, and who were the participants?

[NightKnight]

1695-1699 Second Age, it was Sauron VS. the elves of Eregion, Lindon and Lothlorien, the dwarves of Moria and the men of Numenor.

[Lindolirian]

Righty-ho! Hey check out Active Topics... It looks pretty funny with all of our rapid fire Q and A session we're having. It's like the Quiz Room is on fire :eek:

[NightKnight]

Hehe, yeah. We are just sooo good. :p

In what battle was the first time someone broke through the gate of Minas Tirith, and who was it?

[Lindolirian]

I somehow feel like I'm falling into a trap when I say this..
In 457 FA, Sauron took Minas Tirith (and most likely broke its gate). But you were most likely referring to the Battle of Pelennor Fields in 3018 TA in which Grond under the command of the Witch King was hurled thrice against the gate of Minas Tirith by great mountain trolls.

[NightKnight]

Oh, clever to find that one too...I hadn't even thought about it. You are right though, it was that pesky Witch-King. But on the other hand, he had to pay for it a short while thereafter. ;)

[Lindolirian]

In which battle was a king likened to Béma?

NK: Sorry, our rapidfire Q and A is about to end I have to eat dinner and get off to band practice now. It was fun while it lasted!

[NightKnight]

It was the battle of the Pelennor Fields I believe, wasn't it Theoden? Or was it Fingolfin riding to Angband?

It was indeed fun. I think you should try out my anagrams, nobody does that. :(

[Lindolirian]

Yes, it was Theoden on his first charge of the Pelennor.
Hmm well anagrams have never been my strong point, but I'll give it a whirl.

[NightKnight]

Too tired to think of something hard... In what greater battle was Anduril first used?

[Tulkas the Mighty]

Battle of the Hornburg?

[NightKnight]

Yup.

[Tulkas the Mighty]

Yay
In what battle was Marhari slain?

[Lindolirian]

Battle of the Plains

[Tulkas the Mighty]

Wow.. that was quick.

[Lindolirian]

Hey, we just happened to be online at the same time...

In what "battle" was Fredegar Bolger taken captive?

[Tulkas the Mighty]

Well it wasn't really a battle, but I think he got smoked out of the smials at Scary or something odd like that

[samwise8504]

the battle of bywater

[Lindolirian]

You are correct, Tulkas!

[Tulkas the Mighty]

In which battle did the heavy hand fall?

[Fingolfin II]

He (Mablung) fell in the Sack of Doriath.

[Tulkas the Mighty]

Sorry for the wait! You are correct :D

[Fingolfin II]

Cheers Tulkas.

In which battle did Halbarad die?

[NightKnight]

In the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

[Fingolfin II]

Yes :).

[NightKnight]

Name three battles (smaller or greater) where elves and dwarves fought together.

[Sleepy Ranger]

The battle of the five armies, Helms Deep?(Legolas & Gimli), Pellenor (Again Legolas & Gimli.), The battle of sudden flame? Dagor Argaleb(sp)?

[NightKnight]

I don't know if there were any dwarves in Bragollach or Aglareb, but you're correct on the other ones. Please continue! :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

Name two battles in which two brothers were slain together.

[Fingolfin II]

The fight at the mouth of Sirion and the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.

[NightKnight]

Unnumbered Tears? Which brothers were slain there?

Anyway, I'll say Pelennor Fields (Derufin and Duilin) and Dagor Bragollach (Angrod and Aegnor).

[Sleepy Ranger]

Nightknight has it.

[NightKnight]

What gave Morgoth the victory in Unnumbered Tears?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Trechary of men.

[NightKnight]

Yes.

[Tulkas the Mighty]

More than ten days...
Which battle was fought between the Limlight and Anduin?

[NightKnight]

Battle of Celebrant?

[Tulkas the Mighty]

Yep.

[NightKnight]

One of Aragorn's ancestors was killed in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. Who?

[Fingolfin II]

Huor?

[NightKnight]

Yes. :)

[Fingolfin II]

In which battle did Nain fall?

[NightKnight]

Which Nain? Nain I was killed by Durin's Bane, and Nain, the father of Dain Ironfoot was killed in the Battle of Azanulbizar. I suppose that's the one you meant.

[Fingolfin II]

I should have been more specific- it was the second one I was thinking about. You're up anyway ;).

[NightKnight]

In what battle did a star kill something black?

[Lindolirian]

Earendil killed Ancalagon in the War of Wrath.

[NightKnight]

Yep. :)

[Lindolirian]

Which battle took place in 75 First Age?

[NightKnight]

Dagor Aglareb.

[Lindolirian]

Sure thing!

[NightKnight]

Which three battles ended the First, Second and Third Age?

[Fingolfin II]

First- War of Wrath
Second- Last Alliance
Third- Battle before the Black Gate

[NightKnight]

Yeah.

[Fingolfin II]

In which battle did the Lord of Lossarnach fall?

[NightKnight]

He fell on the Pelennor Fields.

[Fingolfin II]

Sure did. Poor old Forlong :confused:.

[NightKnight]

Yeah. But maybe his brave deeds saved the day. :p

Where did king Folcwinë's twin sons fall?

[Carnimírië]

The Battle of the Field of Celebrant, methinks.

[Lindolirian]

But methinks that they fell defending Gondor from the Haradrim fighting in Ithilien in 2885 TA in the service of Turin II.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

They fought in the Battle of the Fords of Poros. So they died near the river Poros, and were buried in Haudh-in-Gwanur. A scary mound, if you ask me.

[NightKnight]

Lindo and Nil, you're both right. But Lindo got there first, so it's your turn.

[Lindolirian]

And I find another thread that I let die...

What were the dates of the Seige of Erebor in the WotR?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I only see one: March 17, TA 3019.

If you mean the date of the beginning of the siege to its end, then: March 17-27, TA 3019.

[Lindolirian]

Right you are!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

How long did Gondor's war with Wainriders last?

[Lindolirian]

Looks like they first appeared in 1851 but first attacked in 1856 and then they were eventually squished in the Battle of the Camp in 1944. So 88 years of war, 93 of umm exisitence as "Wainriders".

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

:)

[Lindolirian]

In what year did Fornost fall?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The nassty wicked Witch-King tooks it.

[Gil-Galad]

ha 1974 reminds me of the Vietnam war...

[Lindolirian]

Ha! Yeah Vietnam... Go Nil!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Which war led to the formation of Imladris? And what age did this war happen?

[Gil-Galad]

It Happened in the Second Age, i don't qutie remember the name but it was when Sauron disguised himself and went to Eregion and made the Rings of Power, but when he made the one ring the elves basically declared war on him, so Sauron came and killed them but Elrond came with help from Lindon and took the refugees to Imaldris, or Rivendell...beginning of the Last Alliance me thinks

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

You are generally right, Gil-galad, but I need the exact details...

Details, shmetails. Give the good guy the thread.

Right.

The thread is yours. ;)

[Gil-Galad]

Thanks Nil...hey 50 more posts and i'm caught up!


Name the Battle where the ashamed one lead his people under cover

[NightKnight]

The defeat of WK?

[Gil-Galad]

umm which one? the death of WK or the defeat of him? anyways yoru wrong

[NightKnight]

I meant the defeat, as in Angmar.

Nirnaeth Arnoediad then?

[Gil-Galad]

nope your to far back

[Sleepy Ranger]

how about a hint?

[Gil-Galad]

After the Last Alliance yet before War of the Ring

[rutslegolas]

The Ghost King of The dead.??

[Osse]

The Last Alliance... the men of the hills pledged their alliegance to Elendil, then when the time came, ran off and hid in the hills.

[Gil-Galad]

nope and nope... it the ashamed one was in WotR

[rutslegolas]

Give us some hint Gil-Galad :p

[Gil-Galad]

i just gave you a hint...

[rutslegolas]

The Dark Lord going back to The Land Of Mordor??

[Gil-Galad]

i don't see how that was a battle...but nope

[rutslegolas]

Well I have'nt got a clue who the ashamed one is ??
Was it Thorin leading his people back to Erebor or Dain leading a company to recapture Moria?? :confused:

[Gil-Galad]

Hint: is was a man

[rutslegolas]

is it anything related to Minas Tirith??

[Gil-Galad]

hey you can't ask for hints... keep guessing and i might give another one...

[rutslegolas]

well Isildur's march from Minas Arnor to Lake Evendim ( ashamed because he could not give up the ring) :confused: :confused:

[Gil-Galad]

no now your to far back...

[Tuor of Gondolin]

King Brand leads his people to retreat in Erebor during Sauron's
northern army attack?

[Gil-Galad]

now your to far ahead...seesh

[Telchar]

Just to get this one straight, cus I've worked my head of for quite some time now

:rolleyes:

Were looking for a Man who was Ashamed of something. Who led someone under cover and who was alive around TA3019, but the battle in which he led someone under cover was before WoTR ...


First I was thinking Bard and the Battle of the Five Armies, but could'nt find anything he was ashamed of.
Then Boromir had a lot to feel ashamed about, but I can't recall that he ever retreated (except from Osgiliath with three other men...)
Then I thought Faramir... Again no shame (I think) but he did leed his people to Henneth Anun

Im spend - give us another hint Gil-Galad!
:confused:

[NightKnight]

Could it be Aragorn's destruction of the Corsairs of Umbar under his disguise as Thorongil? Though I don't see the "Ashamed" part.

[Gil-Galad]

your turn NightKnight

[NightKnight]

Wow, my random guess proved right. But could you explain the "Ashamed" part?

In what battle was Haldir slain?

[The Perky Ent]

Would that be the Nirnaeth Arnoediad?

[NightKnight]

It was indeed. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Perks?

[Gil-Galad]

that would be like 2 months actually...


What Battle did a Dwarfen King and a King of Man fall together?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

The Battle of Dale.

[Gil-Galad]

too easy i know... your turn

[Telchar]

Nilp?

[Gil-Galad]

that has been more then ten days...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Who battled the last sortie Morgoth sent out during the War of Wrath?

[NightKnight]

Eärendil and the Eagles fought the Dragons, led by Ancalagon.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Your turn. :cool:

[NightKnight]

Oh, right, a question. Eh... Battles, you say? Hmmm...

Name all battles where dragons were killed.

[Lindolirian]

Ancalagon the Black and others in the War of Wrath and Smaug in the Battle of Five Armies, but if you include single combat as a battle then Glaurung v. Turin at the Crossings of Teiglin and Scatha v. Fram.

[NightKnight]

Yeah, good enough for me. :)

[Lindolirian]

In the days of which Steward of Gondor did three great fleets (long prepared) come up from Umbar and Harad?

[Gil-Galad]

Echthelion II?

[Lindolirian]

Nope.

[Elu Ancalime]

Wasnt it....Beren?
________
Vapir Oxygen (http://www.vaporshop.com/oxygen-vaporizer.html)

[Lindolirian]

Indeed it was. :)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Elu Ancalime?

I know it's past 10 days, but I'll give you a chance to take this thread.

[Groin Redbeard]

If any of you guys out there want to play you're more then welcomed to join.

I'll get this thread started off with a new question
In which battle did Thorin, son of Thrain, gain his nickname.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Groin, you are soon going to find out that you should not have done that.

Battle of Azanulbizar. He used oaken branch to defend himself when he lost his shield there.

[Groin Redbeard]

Rats! I'm always screwing up!:mad:

I checked, and this thread has been stagnant since 2006, and the rules say anyone can post a new question. :confused:

By the way, you got it right, Legate!:)

[Groin Redbeard]

Oh dang! That question was already asked. Now that's what I call screwing up.

[Finduilas]

Rats! I'm always screwing up!:mad:

I checked, and this thread has been stagnant since 2006, and the rules say anyone can post a new question. :confused:



I don't think that's what Legate meant...

Don't worry about it.

[Groin Redbeard]

Oh man, now I get!:D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

:D

Let's try this: Someone decided to stand with certain faction in a certain battle because of the sympathies with their leader and also because he could easily retreat if he stood with this faction.
My questions:
Who?
In what battle?
With what faction did he side?

[Folwren]

Who? Brodda, Ulfing Chieftan.
In what battle? Battle of Unnumbered Tears
With what faction did he side? Morgoth and his followers.

Brodda, in sympathy with his leader, Uldor the son of Ulfang, sided with Morgoth and his minions against the elves and other free people's of Middle Earth.

Only thing I dont know about is the easy to retreat bit. :confused:

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

And that is very important. Sorry, not correct answer.

But it really isn't very hard, trust me :)

[Gil-Galad]

Who? Turgon of Gondolin
In what battle? Battle of Unnumbered Tears(i beleive)
With what faction did he side? with his brothers.


Turgon remained passive for awhile, during this battle he chose to come out but in the rearguard, when the battle turned he easily retreated back into Gondolin.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Nope. Though your reasoning is very good, Gil. But I can maybe add that the person, though one of the named reasons was the possibility of an easy retreat, did not in the end use this possibility, i.e. did not retreat.

[Gil-Galad]

Who? Maeglin
What battle? Fall of Gondolin
What faction? Army of Morgoth


Maeglin sided with them so he could obtain his passion, and with Gondolin surrounded he could easily escape if he allied them, but alas he was cast over the side of the walls to his death.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Still not the right one. :)

[Nerwen]

Who? Bilbo Baggins.
In what battle? The Battle of Five Armies.
With what faction did he side? The Elves of Mirkwood.

Am I right or am right?:D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Good, Nerwen. You are right, of course (and maybe you are even right).

The high ideals of First Age were nice, but you can all see, it was far simpler :)

Please continue the thread, Nerwen.

[Nerwen]

Here's a nice easy one::)

On what hill was Denethor slain?

[Gil-Galad]

Amon Ereb during the first battle.

[Nerwen]

Yep.

Please take the thread, Gil.

[Gil-Galad]

What battle did the South win in the North?

semi-tricksy...

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Not the last battle against the WK, i.e. Fornost, by chance? The Gondorians won there, although they were in Arnor.

[Gil-Galad]

Not the last battle against the WK, i.e. Fornost, by chance? The Gondorians won there, although they were in Arnor.

nope.

i'm surprised legate, i figured you would have known it not to be that easy.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

At least once :D You can be happy. Hmm... that's very vague, could be many things in that case.

But what about the Battle of the Camp, where the Easterling Wainriders were defeated? It took place in the North Ithilien, while the (later victorious) Gondorians came from the South.

[Gil-Galad]

At least once :D You can be happy. Hmm... that's very vague, could be many things in that case.

But what about the Battle of the Camp, where the Easterling Wainriders were defeated? It took place in the North Ithilien, while the (later victorious) Gondorians came from the South.

it was too easy anyways... and it was Battle of the Camp.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

it was too easy anyways... and it was Battle of the Camp.

It wasn't. I had to look it up :D

Okay, so what to post? What about this:

There are many battles commemorated among the defenders of the West (and Beleriand). Once in a while some Gondorian Steward or Elven Lord could rise up at the table and say "Today, we commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the Battle of ..." But what about the other side? Did the followers of the (Great) Enemy commemorate these things? We don't know. But what we know is that they remembered them. And we know of at least one such an event that was remembered under different name than in the Western World. Now what I want from you is to give me that name.

[The Might]

Well, all I can think about is the conversation between Gorbag and Shagrat.
Let me get the quote.
Ok, here it is:

There's no grief in that; but think-there's someone loose hereabouts as is more dangerous than any other damned rebel that ever walked since the bad old times, since the Great Siege. Something has slipped.'

So the Orcs refer to the Siege of Barad-dûr as the Great Siege.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Nice, nice! Good, Anakin, goood! Kill him! I mean, well done! :D That was what I meant - please take the thread.

[The Might]

Before what battle did Sauron send some of his followers to incite others to attack?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I thought about Nirnaeth, but I'm not sure if it was really Sauron.

[The Might]

No, not what I am looking for.

[Groin Redbeard]

Is it the Battle of the Field of Celebrant?

Nope
I would like a little explanation too, not only trying out all the battles.

[Nerwen]

Please, Might! Give us a clue!

[The Might]

Something to do with Gondor.

[The Might]

Ok, another hint: east.

[Gil-Galad]

well there Pelenor fields, and Ithielien, Sauron sent is messengers to bring the Haradrim and easterlings to fight the gondorians.

[The Might]

Indeed, though they didn't need to be incitated.
Something else.

[Groin Redbeard]

I give up:confused:. What it is Might?

[The Might]

Ok, last hint: Wainriders

[Nerwen]

The first attack of the Wainriders on Gondor:

Stirred up, as was afterwards seen by the emissaries of Sauron, they made a sudden assault upon Gondor, and King Narmacil II was slain in battle with them beyond Anduin in 1856.

[The Might]

I am still looking for the name of the battle.

[Groin Redbeard]

Battle of the Plains

First major battle between Gondor and the Wainriders. The Battle of the Plains was fought in 1856 on the great plains between Mirkwood and Mordor. The Wainriders defeated the combined forces of Gondor and the Northmen.

[The Might]

Sorry Nerwen, you were indeed right with the event, but failed to specify what the battle exactly was, so Groin gets to go next. However, from what I have seen I have no doubt you will be able to answer others. ;)

Also, strange that it took you so long. I thought that the Gondor and east hints were enough to show you what I meant.
Anyway, go ahed and post a new one. :D

[Groin Redbeard]

This battle was fought near the river fortress of Tharbad. It is where the Númenórean Ciryatur routed Souron's forces.

Good luck!:D

[The Might]

Battle of the Gwathló

[Groin Redbeard]

Correct as usual. Your turn Might.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

*bump* If you don't post, Miggy, I shall blow your door right down your house and out through the hill.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Have you done so yet, Legate?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I'm going to give him one more day and then do so. Because I can also use the time I give him to think of another question, or, if you wish, or anyone, you may do so if he doesn't report.

[The Might]

Thanks for the exta day Legate. :p

Anyways, what battle marked the "invention" of golf?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

You are welcome.

And I am not going to answer. Let's allow someone else to participate here! :)

[Thinlómien]

I'm not interested in war history, so I'm wondering why am I torturing my brain in order to remember the name of the battle. Yes, I know what battle it is but I have no clue what it is called.

The battle of Hobbits vs Orcs?

The battle of Bandobras?

The battle of Mount Gram?

The battle of Bullroarer-chopped-a-head-off-and-invented-golf?

See, I'm hopeless. :D But I hope I do not need to know the exact name of the battle, because otherwise we have to wait for someone else to arrive and name it...

[The Might]

How would you call a battle taking place on a green field Lommy? :D
