Well, I can't think of a good one so, where were the first men born.

[Dior]

[Nefwathiel Teleri]

Uh hottie, where do you get these things?
The answer is in land beyond the Ered luin (blue mts.).
Also, Nazgul already apologized so ya dont got to worry. smilies/smile.gif

[Dior]

Actually, friend, there is a specific answer I'm looking for, and that was Mordor136 who apologized for Nazgul. smilies/smile.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Mat_Heathertoes]

Hildorien was the name of the land. The vale of Murmenalda was the place where the sleeping forms of men were first seen by Nuin the Ilkorin.

[Turambar]

Mat - where's that from (Nuin reference) ?

[Dior]

You're very much correct Mat_. I believe it's in the Silm, in The Coming Of Men Into The West.

[Mat_Heathertoes]

The Book of Lost Tales Part 1. (HoME I) refers to this obscure moment in time. Unfortunately this was discarded by Tolkien in later re-writings.
A shame as I feel it's a pleasant aside to the greater events happening further to the North-West at that point.

[Mat_Heathertoes]

Oops .. smilies/rolleyes.gif I forgot t'was my question.

[Mat_Heathertoes]

It's been over a week and to end the lingering sense of spinosity I'll provide the answer

Index - Silmarillion
Avathar - 'The Shadows'

I'll ask another -

The common name of Fornost ?

[ April 24, 2002: Message edited by: Mat_Heathertoes ]

[Dior]

[Nefwathiel Teleri]

I think Dior's right.

[Dior]

yes, I am right, so I'll ask.

[Lindolirian]

Dwimordene was the name of Lorien in Rohan.

(not Orodruin)

[Lindolirian]

Yes Birdland! your turn

[Birdland]

Correctomundo K.C.! You're up.

[Gimli Son Of Gloin]

[Lindolirian]

it is Dor Firn-i-Guinar

[Lindolirian]

hello.... KingCarlton?

[Flittermouse]

Lindolirian... I've looked it up. You're right, i think its okay to just go ahead.

[Lindolirian]

Alright. Where is Girdly Island?

[Flittermouse]

Anduin?

[Lindolirian]

Nope.

[Mat_Heathertoes]

It's an eyot of the Baranduin, situated north of the Bridge of Stonebows.

[Lindolirian]

Correct!

[Mat_Heathertoes]

[Mat_Heathertoes]

Congrats! Your Turn!

[Lómelindi]

What is the proper name of the Abode of the Eagles, and where is it?

[Lindolirian]

Hmmmm..... perhaps Crissaegrim in the Encircling Mountains around Gondolin?

[Lómelindi]

You got it. Go forth.

[Lindolirian]

Hmmm precioussss... we must think of something tough for these nasssty under-ground creatures:

[Lindolirian]

[Flittermouse]

Eriador

[Lindolirian]

Nope

[Dior]

Suza

[Lindolirian]

No. i'll give ya a hint.
Translate it into elvish (sindarin i think) and you'll probably hit yourself over the head and wonder why you didn't know it....

[Lómelindi]

Calenardhon

[Dior]

ROHAN!!!!!!!! Yep, I did exactly that.

[Dior]

WHAT!!! Beat me to it!

[Lindolirian]

Well both of you are correct but, Lomelindi was more correct and got it first. Poor Dior went above and beyond but took him too long... Your go Lomelindi.

[Lómelindi]

[Lindolirian]

Maybe Elendor the Land of the Star.

[Lómelindi]

[Lindolirian]

[Joy]

What is the common name for 'Baraz'?

[Joy]

Anyone have a clue??? Or do I need to give a hint.

[Lómelindi]

Redhorn is the common name of "Baraz," which in itself is short for "Barazinbar," the Dwarvish name for Caradhas.

[Lómelindi]

Is that right?

[Joy]

Very good Lómelindi! Your turn smilies/smile.gif

[Lómelindi]

What is the common name of Uruktharbum?

(I'll give you a hint: it's Dwarvish, and it was later replaced by another Dwarvish name for the same place.)

[Mat_Heathertoes]

That would a possible early Khuzdul word for Moria, as we all know it was replaced by Khazad-dûm

HoME VI Return of the Shadow p458

[Lómelindi]

Correct! Go Dwarves.

[Lindolirian]

Mat hasn't replied and I love this thread, so I'll just keep it going with another question.
Where is Dor-Winion?

BTW I have figured out where it is, I DO know the answer, i'm not just asking.

[Lómelindi]

I think this is close…
Dorwinion is a little-known land in the vales of the River Running (very well renowned for its gardens and vineyards).

[Lindolirian]

Yes, its kinda sandwiched between Celduin and the Sea of Rhun.

[Lómelindi]

What land was created (or rather, renamed) after the Dagor Bragollach?

[Joy]

The land was called the Anfauglith.

[Lómelindi]

Yes, the "Gasping Dust." Your roll.

[Lindolirian]

Joy?

[Joy]

Sorry, I left on July 13th, and just made my return a few days ago. I had an extende illness that made me unable to be on the computer as much as I desired. I am doing a lot better now - arm has healed up pretty good - still not perfect yet though.
