Bëor's House?

Nope.

Marach's house?

Are sure it was not the house of Beor? I dont think it was anyone else.

Oops, I must have missed Firefoot's post. Sorry about that. :(

Right again. ;)

Fourth question: What was the name of Brodda's wife?

Oooh, this is fun. ;)

Aerin.

Okay, I feel kinda guilty taking advantage of the fact we're both connected, so, I'll shut up awhile and let others answer. ;)

Yeah, it's a bit unfair. But at least you got yourself a nice big lead. ;)

Fifth question: Who was the leader of those who went back over the Blue Mountains?

Shoot, Miriel could eat us up with her lead, but I'll have fun giving her a run for her money :D

Oi... Just a guess, I think it was Bereg?

Bereg it was.

Sixth question: Where did the Haladin live when they first came over the mountains, and why did they move?

First they lived in Thargelion, but they were too proud to live sheltered by the Elves in a land that was given to them out of charity. Something of the sorts...

The first part is right, and the second is close. Could you explain it a little bit more?

Didn't they go to Brethil after that?

They did, but that's not the question. ;)

While they were living in Thargelion there was an orc raid and when her father and brother died Haleth took control and when they were victorious Caranthir honored them and asked them to move farther north to have the friendship and protection of the Elves but Haleth and her people were too proud to be ruled so they went further west where other men had gone.

I think that should answer the question. :)

Very good. :)

Hello again ... ;)

Eighth question: How did Hador Lorindol die, and what did his nickname mean?

Now we can't have Miriel answering all the questions, can we?
 

He was slain in the Dagor Bragollach at Eithel Sirion. His nickname meant "Goldenhead."

Right-o...

This is turning out to be a duel. ;)

Ninth question: Where did Bëor's people dwell (after Estolad)?

*grins*
 

Thanks, Firefoot. I was trying hard to refrain from answering that one, but my strength of will was slowly beginning to falter. ;)

Anyway, I've decided I'm allowed to go for another one now...

So, is this Dorthonion?

Edit: Actually, you may be looking for Ladros...? When Boromir was appointed Lord of Ladros, those who had moved north gathered there ... so, yeah, Dorthonion or Ladros.

Ladros was what I was looking for.

Well, we have a winner: Miriel. :) But I will ask the last question anyway.

Tenth and last question: Who were Beren's parents?

Woohoo!! :D

And, Barahir and Emeldir. ;)

Should I start a new thread, as this is at 11 pages?

Correct again, and you win at 6 points. :)
That's probably a good idea. :)

Thread closed
 

Yes, Miriel, I'd be grateful if you would open a new thread. Please could you include some brief guidance on how the game works with your first post.

Thanks. :)

This thread is closed.

The Topic Game II
 

A continuation of The Topic Game, which was closed due to length.

Basically, a topic is chosen, and ten questions on it are asked. All participants have their points added up, and after all of the questions whoever has the most points continues with a new topic.

So ... we will begin with Elves. :)


First Question: Two names are given for the King of Lorien that preceeded Amrath. What are they?

Malgalad and Amdír.

Correct. :)

That was quick. ;) Correct.

Even quicker...

Edit: two seconds too late

Very good. :) I hope I'm not going to have to start making these cryptic.
