Not quite a quiz, just trie me.

[Helkahothion]

This may sound like something that would fit in the quiz section but it issn't.

I would like to test my knowledge on Tolkien so I call upon you Downers to ask me Tolkien related questions.

I only saw the second movie once and read lotr 2 times. I did not read the Silmarillion and the Hobbit so don't bother asking that.

[ January 15, 2003: Message edited by: dragoneyes ]

"ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom bombadillo!
By water, wood and hill, by the reed and the willow.
By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us.
Come Tom bombadil, for our need is near us!"

am I right?

As for another question, I just read the stupidist question of all time!

How would you trap shelob?
A. In a giant bathtub
B. On a giant roll of sticky tape
C. With a big chunk of cheese

Second was:

If a troll was in your bedroom, how would you get rid of it?

A. Throw water on it
B. give it a nice hot cup of tea and ask it to leave
C. Open the curtains.

These were NOT meant to be funny questions. smilies/rolleyes.gif

Hey hey people,

The Tom Bombadil Story left me clueless. 0/2 for the downers.

For the two other questions.

How would you trap shelob?
b. (altough their all weird)

If a troll was in your bedroom, how would you get rid of it?
c.

Yes, the Tom Bombadil one's correct and I agree with Anuion about the other two (though trapping Shelob would be hard even with a large roll of sticky tape)

[eleanor_niphredil]

Actualy, you would trap Shelob in a giant bathtub, cause spiders get trapped in the bath. I put sticky tape first to, and got it wrong.

[Galenfea of Mirkwood.]

Can I ask another? What is the name of Aragorn's father?

[Lossentilien]

Arathorn?
Ok...emm...very easy one..(am just gonna copy u're idea)

Name of Gimli's father?

[dragoneyes]

Gloin perhaps?

[ElentariGreenleaf]

Man that's easy. I could remember that just by going through the script in my head.......

[Galenfea of Mirkwood.]

OK, slightly harder, how old was Aragorn when Arathorn died? smilies/evil.gif

[Lossentilien]

He was two years old.
OK, so I guess that was a pathetic attempt. How about something harder?
This would be hard for me, maybe not you guys though.
How old was Aragorn when he was given the Ring of Barahir and the broken shards of Narsil?

ok i'm pretty sure . . . . is it 3 heads each?

What is the name of the dragon from the fireworks show?

That's all I can think of.

Your pal,

Tom would treat the ring without much care. And even he could not resist the power of Sauron.

I have no idea about the dragon . . .

[Nianna Telmnar]

They didn't think he'd fall to Sauron's power they just figured he'd forget about his mission and maybe lose the ring.

[eleanor_niphredil]

The dragon is smaug because that is what the firework was, a tribute to Bilbo's adventures.

[Helkahothion]

I just found out. The guards have 6 head and six bodies.

[Goldberry]

No, I'm pretty sure that they do have 3 heads each. At first I was confused because I have a Tolkien encyclopedia and it said 6 heads (that's why I originally said 6 heads) but I didn't think that was right and I checked in the RotK (the direct source! smilies/biggrin.gif ) Maybe you found it in the same place I did. My encyclopedia has a few mistakes in it that I have found, though. Here is what the RotK says: They were like great figures seated upon thrones. Each had three joined bodies, and three heads facing outward, and inward, and across the gateway. The heads had vulture-faces, and on their great knees were laid clawlike hands.

Gimli made the family tree for King Elessar, I think.

Alright then, series of questions concerning Kings of Mark:
1. With what name was King Théodon referred to in the legends of Rohan and why was this name used?
2. Who was the king when Saruman came to Isengard?
3. Which king had twinsons who died in Ithilien (TA 2885)?

[Goldberry]

Hmmm . . . I'll try #2. I'm guessing it's Helm Hammerhand. If it's not him, then it must be the king directly after him, who I don't know the name of.

[Annunfuiniel]

Yes, your second guess was right, it was not Helm himself but his nephew, Fréalaf Hildeson who followed him to the throne.
So we have 1 out of 3 right. Need more answers! smilies/smile.gif

[Tinuviel of Denton]

Here's an interesting question.

How old was Aragorn in the Fellowship of the Ring?

Hint: it's not obvious

[ May 22, 2003: Message edited by: Tinuviel of Denton ]

[Helkahothion]

52?

[Eruanna]

To answer Annun's other two questions:

1) Théoden Ednew; he was called this in the lore of Rohan because he had fallen under the spells of Saruman and was healed by Gandalf the White.

3) King Folcwine; his twin sons Folcred and Fastred went into battle, in his place, and were killed.

And I believe Aragorn was 87 or 88 years old at the beginning of the Fellowship's journey.

Ok, i dont know the answers to the horsemen questions (except the ones already stated smilies/wink.gif ) but:
Without looking in the book, Without going on the net, without asking somebody else, with NO cheating at all, fill this in:
Gimli son of _____, son of _____, son of _____, son of _____, son of King ____ the Second ,son of King ___, son of King _____. being a gimli fan i know this of by heart. lets see how far you get. and NO CHEATING

[Helkahothion]

It goes that far back? smilies/eek.gif

I thought it ended with Gloín. I only know Gimli son of Gloín. I know that he is the nephew of Balin, but my knowledge ends there. I just finished the Hobbit, which I finaly got my hands on.

Who was the King under the mountain before Dain and how did he die?

Was Dain the rightfull heir of the lonely mountain?

Suilad,

Anuion

[the guy who be short]

never mind about not knowing that, im just a major dwarf fan, ive memorised gimli's ancestory to durin the sixth!
lemme see... dains father. dain ironfoots was nain the second,right?
ooh... this is so embarrassing, seeing as ive read the dwarf appendices so many times. i should know all this!
i believe he was the heir to... now, if ive got this straight, he was one of the three children of Nain the second. The third, id say. but thorin had been killed... so yes, he was heir to the throne. his father was killed in a battle somewhere? perhaps the battle of Nanduhirion (known also as Azanulbizar)?
just so you know, if any of this is wrong, i did not look at the appendices or anywhere. this was all from my hazy memory. im gonna check im right now smilies/smile.gif

EDIT: i was wrong smilies/rolleyes.gif i got my nains and dains all confused. there were two dain son of nains smilies/mad.gif damn them! lol, never mind.

Sorry, beats me. And I can't tell for the movie since Rotk is not out in the open yet.

Suilad,

[Sapphire_Flame]

Okay, fine, I'll think of a different question.........

Who created the Ents? I know you'll know this, Helka, mister I-read-the-Silmarillion-in-only-two-days. smilies/wink.gif smilies/tongue.gif

Abedithon le!

[Orofaniel]

Yavanna, the vala, created the Ents....Yavanna, queen of the Earth... smilies/biggrin.gif

At least I think so...

[Helkahothion]

Just for the record, it was not in my version of the silm, but didn't the elf did that? You know by talking to them and whispering the ents learned the language and started moving. That is what was in Lotr.

Suilad,

Anuion

[Orofaniel]

Yeah, you are right. The elves thought them to talk. But Yavanna created them. That's what I've read!

[Helkahothion]

Ah, so the flowers that were sleeping and later woke up, were the ents? I still don't get it. How did it happen?

[Orofaniel]

Elvish histories tell how, when Varda, Queen of the Heavens, rekindled the Stars and The Elves awoke, the Ents also awoke in the Great Forest of Arda. They came from the thoughts of Yavanna, Queen of Earth, and were her Shepherds of Trees

When they first awoke, Ents could not speak, but the Elves thought them the art and they loved it greatly.

I think Yavanna created them and the elves learned them to speak...

[Helkahothion]

Ah, so technacly they where the creation of Yavanna. Makes sence now smilies/smile.gif

Then there are the eagles: Who created them? Was it Manwë? He used their services most of all the Valar.

Suilad,

Anuion

[purplefluffychainsaw]

Yeah, it was Manwe.

[Sapphire_Flame]

Dang, you people guess mine too easily! I might have to go back to my question about how many times Frodo wore the Ring. smilies/tongue.gif

Okay. How did Sauron die? (the first time) This is way too easy, but I'm trying to think of a real killer. smilies/evil.gif Stay tuned...

[the guy who be short]

He sunk in the fall of Numenor. Or else the last alliance after that. But none of them were real deaths, were they now?

[Sapphire_Flame]

You caught me, guy. smilies/wink.gif Don't ya just love trick questions?
