9. What is a flittermouse and where was one mentioned?

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-16-2004 11:27 PM

A bat! It was mentioned in the Lay of Leithian, when Lúthien took form as one of Thû's messengers while headed for Angband.

Lindolirian 07-17-2004 03:33 PM

Yeah, isn't that an awesome name for a bat? Anyway, last question, that is if Firefoot doesn't get it for the tie...

10. Who wrote the Noldolantë?

Firefoot 07-17-2004 03:36 PM

An interesting fact...
 
Bat in Swedish is "fladdermus" (mus=mouse). :p

Lindolirian 07-18-2004 04:15 PM

Hehehe
 
Two points for NK :D
Nice timing Firefoot...

Ok for the tie breaker between Nilpaurion Felagund and Firefoot, I felt that I had to come up with a real whiz-banger.

11. What city (also the title of the poem) is described as being on a sable hill, by an azure sea, under an azure sky, and where no voice stirs?

*Remember this is for Firefoot and Nilpaurion Felgund only, as a tie breaker.*

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-18-2004 08:42 PM

I'm so screwed. I forgot the HoME.
 
Kortirion? As in Kortirion among the Trees?

Lindolirian 07-18-2004 09:52 PM

Technically Kôr, but it's the same city, so yes. It's your game!

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-18-2004 09:54 PM

This thread is so mine!

3. In which river/stream was the last battle of the Nirnaeth fought?

Lindolirian 07-19-2004 10:18 PM

It was in the Fens of Serech and that looks to be at the junction of Rivil (stream) and Sirion (river).

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-21-2004 12:37 AM

Ok...
 
Quote:

But the brothers drew the remnant of the Men of the house of Hador about them, and foot by foot they withdrew, until they came behind the Fen of Serech, and had the stream of Rivil before them. There they stood and gave way no more.

(QS 20)
Rivil alone would have been accepable. :)

4. The longest river in the Mortal Lands?

Thorongil 07-21-2004 01:32 AM

Sirion?

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-21-2004 01:50 AM

Nope!
 
Gelion is longer than Sirion, but the answer ain't Gelion, either.

Thorongil 07-21-2004 02:09 AM

Anduin?

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-21-2004 02:33 AM

Evisse the Blue 07-21-2004 04:06 AM

Anduin had Cair Andros, Sarn Gebir, Tol Brandir.
Adurant- Tol Galen
Sirion - Tol Sirion.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-21-2004 07:38 PM

No fair!
 
You gave the rivers and the names of their islands! That would be my next question!

6. What are the rivers flowing into the Sea of Rhûn?

The Perky Ent 07-21-2004 07:43 PM

The River Running?

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-21-2004 07:57 PM

And the other one...
 
There are two rivers flowing into Rhûn Sea. The other one might be unnamed in the regular map, but it is named somewhere else.

The Perky Ent 07-21-2004 08:01 PM

River Running and the Redwater :)

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-21-2004 08:14 PM

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-21-2004 08:46 PM
