alaklondewen ->4
Horse-Maiden of the Shire ->1
Tar-Palantir ->1

I am a Ghost Prince of Cardolan!

[Annunfuiniel]

Ummm... The Rohirrim? Silvan elves?? The Cave-trolls??! smilies/biggrin.gif I'm probably missing the point here... smilies/wink.gif

[Beren87]

Congrats Pallando!

Humm...I'm assuming you don't mean like "Boromir, Man of Gondor" here. Are you speaking of people of an individual race?

[the real findorfin]

Do you mean Hobbits (does their name have somethng to do with holes, I'm so dumb today)

[Pallando B.C]

Thanks Beren.

It is just one person. Not a race.

[alaklondewen]

Is it Legolas (Greenleaf)?...or Galadriel?

[ March 03, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

um...Celeborn?

[Pallando B.C]

No, No and No.

Nice Avatar Beren. What happened to good ol' purple wizard?

[Annunfuiniel]

Théoden, King of Golden Hall?

[Pallando B.C]

No sorry.

[Annunfuiniel]

I dunno, I give up! smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

[ March 04, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

[Pallando B.C]

Wow! I have stumped ye!

Ok, it is not some average, ordinary character. This person has a good deal of power and respectability.

[Annunfuiniel]

Last desperate attempt: is it Mandos aka Námo?
Please let it be it! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Pallando B.C]

You're on the road which will lead you to Rightanswerville!

[Annunfuiniel]

No, I said that would be my last try! Is it Manwë? Or Lorien? Hey, I didn't say that!! Shut up dude, it isn't my foult that you're too stupid to figure it out by yourself!
This really isn't worth all the trouble... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[ March 04, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

[Pallando B.C]

Finally. Irmo is Loríen's real name. Loríen is just the name of his gardens.

8) Who's ancestor was a nobleman who lived in Belfalas

alaklondewen ->4
Horse-Maiden of the Shire ->1
Tar-Palantir ->1
Annunfuiniel ->1

[alaklondewen]

Are you looking for Aragorn?

[Annunfuiniel]

Or perhaps Imrahil?

[Pallando B.C]

Yes, a late charge by Annunfuiniel

9)Name a forest which has experienced both love and hate. Give reasons why.

alaklondewen ->4
Horse-Maiden of the Shire ->1
Tar-Palantir ->1
Annunfuiniel ->2

[Annunfuiniel]

Greenwood the Great aka Mirkwood. The silvan elves loved it there but Sauron brought about hate and horror.

[Pallando B.C]

It could be, but It's not the one I'm looking for.

[gralin musicteeth]

Doriath was a place of love until: 1) Turin came by and 2) the Dwarves killed Elwe for the Nauglamir

[Pallando B.C]

No, not it sorry gralin.

[Gil-Galad]

Lorien becasue after Galdriel left and Celeborn was sad and the hidden elf kingdom was dimsihing becasue more and more were leaving smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Beren87]

Fangorn forest? The love of the ents for the trees as compared to the malice of the Huorns?

[Lord Elessar]

I too think it is Fangorn Forrest because the ents look after it and Saruman tried to destroy it and cut down all the trees for his industry

[gralin musicteeth]

Not a very decisive question, probably something I would ask. smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Beren87]

True, narrowing it down would be nice

[The Saucepan Man]

How about the Old Forest, with Tom Bombadil and Goldberry representing love and Old Man Willow representing hate?

[Annunfuiniel]

All the forests are soon guessed so someone ought to get it right! smilies/smile.gif But how about Nan Elmoth? Those feelings weren't really directed to the forest itself but were born inside of it: the great love of Melian and Thingol but later the hatred of Eöl the Dark Elf.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Well...how about the forest that Sam and Frodo were in when they were captured by Faramir? Sorry, I'm not sure if it is Ithilien or not. But, it could be Faramir and his rangers representing love for the forest and valley and then the Orcs and evil creatures around it representing hate.

[Pallando B.C]

Yeah, I probably should have narrowed it down a bit more. It was Nan Elmoth becuase of the love (Elwë and Melian) and Hate (Eöl).

Can there be a Tie-Breaker?

10) How is Elrond related to Túrin? In two steps

alaklondewen ->4
Horse-Maiden of the Shire ->1
Tar-Palantir ->1
Annunfuiniel ->3

[alaklondewen]

I don't know if you want one or two people in the middle, so here goes nothing.

Elrond -- Huor -- Turin

or

Elrond -- Huor -- Hurin -- Turin

[Tar-Palantir]

Túrin - Tuor - Eärendil - Elrond

Is that 3 steps or two?

[Annunfuiniel]

Túrin -- Galdor -- Elrond

Well, at least I tried... smilies/wink.gif

[Pallando B.C]

I'll give it to Tar-Palantir since he was on the righ track. If you left out Eärendil, it would be more correct.

Final Score:

alaklondewen ->4
Horse-Maiden of the Shire ->1
Tar-Palantir ->2
Annunfuiniel ->3

Which Means alakondewen is the winner. Please proceed.

Score:
Annunfuiniel-1
Horse-Maiden of the Shire-1

[ March 09, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Annunfuiniel]

That would be Afteryule, I believe that they used Shire calendar in Bree also.

[ March 10, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

[alaklondewen]

Actually, Bree did have a different name for it.

[Annunfuiniel]

Would it happen to be Narvinyë then?

[Eruanna]

I think that in Bree the name was Frery (I hope it's ok to leap in here....I'm a newbie) smilies/smile.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Off-topic, but welcome to the Barrow-Downs, Eruanna!

[alaklondewen]

Yes, well done, Eruanna, and welcome to the Downs!

4) What family kept the Red Book after the passing of Sam Gamgee from the Grey Havens?

Score:
Annunfuiniel-1
Horse-Maiden of the Shire-1
Eruanna-1

[Annunfuiniel]

The Fairbairn family?

[Eruanna]

When Samwise went to the Grey Havens he gave the book to his daughter Elanor and afterwards it was kept by the Fairbairns (of the Tower) who made several copies. (thanks for the welcome....this is a very interesting game....It's made me dig out my very ancient copies of the books) smilies/biggrin.gif

[alaklondewen]

You are both correct, but Annunfuiniel was first.

Yes, Eruanna , you got it.

7) Who was the only female Dwarf mentioned? What was her name, and how is she related in Tolkien's works?

Score:

[Gil-Galad]

Diris i belvie and she went too Ered Luin with her people

[alaklondewen]

Sorry, no.

[gilraën]

Dis, mother of Fili and Kiri, sister of Thrain?

[alaklondewen]

Yes, Dis is right, but she was Thorin's sister not Thrain's. Which leads me to my next question...

8) Why was Thorin Oakenshield called 'Oakenshield'?

Score:
Annunfuiniel-3
Horse-Maiden of the Shire-1
Eruanna-2
gilraën-1

[Eruanna]

At the Battle of Azanulbizar, Thorin's shield was broken so he chopped off a branch from an oak tree to use instead. Hence the name Thorin Oakenshield. smilies/smile.gif

[gilraën]

Yes, Dis is right, but she was Thorin's sister not Thrain's.

Thanks, I wasn't sure I had remembered it right, obviously not.

[alaklondewen]

You are quite welcome, gilraën. Eruanna is correct and gets another point.

The board is yours. smilies/smile.gif

[Eruanna]

[Annunfuiniel]

Oh, thank you and thank you! smilies/smile.gif

Ok, question #1: Who was the 10. King of Mark and how was he related to his predecessor?

[Eruanna]

The Tenth King of the Mark was Frealaf. He was the nephew (sister-son) of Helm Hammerhand....sorry, I don't know how to do the little accents and umlauts.

[Annunfuiniel]

And the first point goes to Eruanna! smilies/smile.gif

2) Who made the Elessar?

Score:
Eruanna-1

[ March 18, 2003: Message edited by: Annunfuiniel ]

[gilraën]

Feanor?

[Gil-Galad]

Elrond?

[gilraën]

If it wasn't Feanor then it must have been Enerdhil?

[Annunfuiniel]

I will accept gilraën's second guess, Enerdhil, though there is no definite right answer to this question. Some sources name Celebrimbor as the maker of the Elessar. (For more info look the UT; the story of Galadriel and Celeborn)

3) How many Hurins are there mentioned in Tolkien's writings?

Score:
Eruanna-1

Four.

• Húrin, fifth Ruling Steward of Gondor.
• Húrin, fourteenth Ruling Steward of Gondor.

• Húrin, of Emyn Arnen.

[gilraën]

1Hurin of Dol-lomin

4)Which two heirlooms did Aragorn obtain only after he was crowned?

Score:
Eruanna-1
gilraën-2

[elven maiden Earwen]

the sceptre of Annumasum and the elesser

[Annunfuiniel]

You're halfway there with the sceptre of Annuminas. smilies/smile.gif But Aragorn got the Elessar from Galadriel in Lothlórien during the War of the Rings...

[Eruanna]

The Crown of Eänur?
The Sceptre of Annúminas?

[Annunfuiniel]

He got the crown when he was crowned...
Ok, your LOTR's are of no use here! Run, to find your UT's!! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Rochelle]

Ok I think I found it...

The chain and box that had once held the ring around Isildur's neck and the Elendilmir.

These two things were found in Orthanc.

[Eruanna]

The Sceptre and......the Ring of Barahir??

[gilraën]

I'd say that Rochelle was right and it was the Elendilmir.

[Annunfuiniel]

Ok, now we have both items! smilies/smile.gif I have decided to give two points on this round, one for elven maiden Earwen (for the Sceptre) and one for Rochelle (for the Elendilmir). Hope that's fine for you. smilies/smile.gif

Tintallë was a name given to Varda Elentári it translates to "the kindler"

Azaghal during Dagor Bragollach 'The battle of Sudden Flame'

I believe everything isn't quite right with that answer, gilraën...

[gilraën]

'slaps head'
of course it's the Battle of Unnumbered Tears - Ninaeth Arnoediad.

The Golden Wood-Lorien o'course
Goldilocks Took-Daughter of Sam Gamgee
Goldberry-Wife of Tom
(and now I'm going to cheat and look one up cause I can't think of anymore)
Goldworthy-Family of Hobbits!

[Annunfuiniel]

Good job, Beren! And nice to know that you too have to cheat sometimes if only this once, it makes you more...hmmm...like the rest of us! smilies/biggrin.gif
Oh, and I thought of these 'Golden' "things" as well: Golden Hall (Meduseld), Goldenbed (river Ascar after the treasure of Doriath was thrown there by Beren and co.); also Ar-Pharazôn and Smaug were generally referred to as 'Golden'.

And so, the winner with 4 points is...gilraën!! Hooray and congrats!

over the land lies a showdow
westward reaching wings of darkness
the tower trembles;to the tombs of kings
doom aproches;the dead awaken;
for the hour has come for the outh breakers;
at the stone of erch they shall stand again
and here there a horn in the hills ringing
who shall the horn be?who shall call them
from the grey twilight,the forgotten people?
there heir of him to whom the oath swore
from the north he shall come,need will drive him:
he shall pass the doors of the dead.

Gandalf said he was known as Incánus in the South. It is Quenya and means something like "North Spy" in the language of the men of the Haradrim. However, in Gondor he was called by the Sindarin name Mithrandir, meaning "Grey pilgrim".

Correct!
Here's the next one:

Question 3)
How long had the Noldor been in Middle Earth When Eärendil was born in Gondolin?
