South of (the lattitude of) Orthanc?

North of Rohan?

Yes to South of Orthanc (latitude
No to North of Rohan

What about this one?


And my own question: Is it west of Anduin?

Sorry Pitch. I missed that on the page break.

It is not west of the Misty Mountains . Wish I hadn't done a place now I have no sense of direction whatsoever. :rolleyes:
It isn't west of Anduin either.

Is it in Ithilien?

It is in Ithilien... which means I got all that tricksy east west stuff right... :rolleyes:

Is it Henneth Annun?

Too easy?
 

It is. Love the window on the west...

Too easy? I don't think so. It's just that Henneth Annun is what I first think of when I hear "Ithilien".

I have a (hopefully) tricksy one in mind...

person?

Thing - no

In Middle Earth?

West of the Anduin?

In ME? - yes
West of Anduin - I'm tempted to say yes, but that would confuse everyone... so yesno.

Ooh Couple of options spring to mind.. Tol Brandir?

The Carrock?

Thing - no
Person - no
Place - yes
In ME? - yes
West of Anduin - yesno
Carrock, Tol Brandir - neither

*evil laugh*

I will give clues if you need them, because I came up with something... unordinary. :D

Anduin itself?

Thing - no
Person - no
Place - yes
In ME? - yes
West of Anduin - yesno
Carrock, Tol Brandir - neither
Anduin itself - good guess, but no.

Is it a place that wouldcould be shown named
on a map?

Thing - no
Person - no
Place - yes
In ME? - yes
West of Anduin - yesno
Carrock, Tol Brandir - neither
Anduin itself - no
Labeled on a map - definitely!

Emyn Muil?

Thing - no
Person - no
Place - yes
In ME? - yes
West of Anduin - yesno
Carrock, Tol Brandir - neither
Anduin itself - no
Labeled on a map - definitely!

Emyn Muil - another good guess, but no again.

Falls of Rauros?

Thing - no
Person - no
Place - yes
In ME? - yes
West of Anduin - yesno
Carrock, Tol Brandir - neither
Anduin itself - no
Labeled on a map - definitely!
Emyn Muil - no

Falls of Rauros - no

Is it above the Fall of Rauros?

And in case we are on the wrong course is it situated on the course of the River Anduin?

Thing - no
Person - no
Place - yes
In ME? - yes
West of Anduin - yesno
Carrock, Tol Brandir - neither
Anduin itself - no
Labeled on a map - definitely!
Emyn Muil - no
Falls of Rauros - no

Is it above Rauros - yesno.

Difficult to answer without giving it away. I guess another yesno will have to suffice.

As for the course, Emyn Muil was in the right direction.

And another hint: don't take Anduin as the center of everything. Don't concentrate on it too much.

Try a different tack - is it "visited" by (a) member(s) of the fellowship during the Ring quest

Thing - no
Person - no
Place - yes
In ME? - yes
West of Anduin - yesno
Carrock, Tol Brandir - neither
Anduin itself - no
Labeled on a map - definitely!
Emyn Muil - no
Falls of Rauros - no
Is it above Rauros - yesno.
Is it situated on the course of the River Anduin? - yesno...

Another difficult question... If I stick to the word "visited", then no... But If you say "Was a member of the fellowship in it during the War", then yes. All of them were.

That is what I meant by visited - that someone was there rather than the place referred to... or somewhere that they probably been sometime but not that we know about.

So as I said, they all have been in that place...

Yes and it is the ALL that is puzzling me!!!! Very tricksy.

Rohan?
