Gil-Galad 09-29-2007 12:14 PM

Well gandalf, Elrond and galadriel all left when they deemed teh 4th age to be "the age of man"... but it could be Cirdan too who was the last to leave.

The Might 09-29-2007 12:28 PM

Sorry, but I'm going to need an explanation.
Though you are close...actually I thought you'd figure out it must have something to do with Belegaer.

The Might 11-18-2007 08:52 AM

Well, trying to revive some Quiz threads right now, so a hint: it did have something to do with Elves. :)

Legate of Amon Lanc 11-18-2007 11:38 AM

*stops*

Hmm... that's not much of a hint, TM, as it was rather obvious. Don't you have anything better?

The Might 11-18-2007 12:46 PM

Well...I disagree.
The question was who sets sail only after sundown, and my tip was Elves.
hmmm...wonder who it could be? :rolleyes:
Actually I thought the hint would solve it.

Legate of Amon Lanc 11-18-2007 12:59 PM

Well, Gil said Círdan (or something like that) and you said he is "close" (which I understand the way that it's not correct). I could say Teleri, but it will be merely guessing. Checking the places where I thought some information could have been, I didn't find anything.

The Might 11-18-2007 02:02 PM

Close not because of Cirdan's origin, but because of his function. ;)

Thinlómien 12-03-2007 08:21 AM

Now I can't think of anything except Elvish smugglers... :rolleyes: But creatively thinking, could that be even close to the correct answer?

The Might 12-05-2007 12:43 PM

Well, yes it is Elves, but why smugglers?

The Might 12-09-2007 05:04 AM

Why isn't anyone interested in this one anymore?

Nerwen 12-09-2007 05:25 AM

Because we need a hint.:)

The Might 12-09-2007 08:40 AM

Ok, so it is Elves.
But which Elves?
When do Elves leave in a certain direction only after sunset?

Nerwen 12-10-2007 07:22 AM

Well... do you just mean Elves sailing West?

The Might 12-10-2007 09:13 AM

Indeed.

Quote:

The 'immortals' who were permitted to leave Middle-earth and seek Aman – the undying lands of Valinor and Eressëa, an island assigned to the Eldar – set sail in ships specially made and hallowed for this voyage, and steered due West towards the ancient site of these lands. They only set out after sundown. (Letter #325)
I was thinking you could figure out it had to be the Elves sailing West sooner. :p

Legate of Amon Lanc 12-10-2007 10:40 AM

Pah! Letter! :rolleyes:

Sir, my view of you has certainly gone low after this one. Of course one would say Elves, but I never saw that to be said in the books. No wonder: it wasn't.

*shakes head and leaves*

Nerwen 12-10-2007 07:01 PM

Who brought the shards of Narsil to Valandil?

McCaber 12-10-2007 10:23 PM

Was it Ohtar?

Nerwen 12-10-2007 11:57 PM

Yes, it was. Please continue.

McCaber 12-11-2007 12:40 AM

What was Gil-Galad's weapon?

Nerwen 12-11-2007 12:47 AM

Aeglos.

McCaber 12-11-2007 01:11 AM

Take it.

Nerwen 12-11-2007 01:57 AM

Who was the Eagle of the Star?

Thinlómien 12-11-2007 03:07 AM

Aragorn

Nerwen 12-11-2007 04:06 AM

Of course.:)

Your turn.

Thinlómien 12-11-2007 05:43 AM

There were three siblings who shared a hair colour that was rare for their kin. Who were they?

Nerwen 12-11-2007 06:10 AM

Maedhros, Amrod and Amras.

Thinlómien 12-11-2007 06:25 AM

Of course. :D Your thread.

Nerwen 12-11-2007 06:35 AM

Who was killed by Felaróf?

Thinlómien 12-11-2007 06:38 AM

Léod, I believe.

Nerwen 12-11-2007 06:44 AM

And you'd be right.

Who was Aragorn's maternal grandfather?

Thinlómien 12-11-2007 07:00 AM

Dírhael.

Even though it was my turn to ask, you know. :p ;)

:D

Nerwen 12-11-2007 07:06 AM

Oops!:o

I was in a hurry when I typed that.

Ask me TWO questions! Then we'll be even.

Thinlómien 12-11-2007 10:30 AM

Don't worry. :) I think I'll ask just one question. (Of course if it happens to be you who answers it, I can ask you another one as well. ;))

Who was the chief of Elrond's councillors?

Gil-Galad 12-11-2007 11:00 AM

Glorfindel was it not?

Legate of Amon Lanc 12-11-2007 01:07 PM

What about Erestor? Though I'm not 100% sure if this was his task.

Thinlómien 12-11-2007 02:14 PM

I think the status of Glorfindel could be discussed and argued, but it is clearly stated that:

Now I'm not sure if we can assume Erestor's position is higher than Glorfindel's based on this, but as Glorfindel is never named the chief of any councellors (as far as I know), I think we can safely call Erestor the chief of Elrond's councellors and thus Legate is correct. So, take thread, Leggie. :)

Who does she call "Leggie", I wonder :)

All right, the next question:
Who wanted to have orcish skin?

Quempel 12-12-2007 10:23 AM

Sorry I read this and the first thought that popped into my mind was 'Paris Hilton'.

Finduilas 12-12-2007 10:53 AM

I'll go with Sam. It was either about bitting flys or thorns, I haven't got a book (I think Folwren stole it for the day) so I can't look it up.

The Might 12-12-2007 12:55 PM

Not an answer, cause I think Finduilas is right about that, but I had an idea.

What about the "Leggie and Miggy" show? :D
