It's the plainest thing ever, and that's what is puzzling you.

I suggest looking at how Emyn Muil, in relation to Anduin, fits more than the others.

Also, pay attention to this:

Every proper map of ME has it labeled. If not, then it's just against the "grammar rules" of map-making. ;)

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...
Visited by a fellowship member - yes
Rohan - no

I wouldn't knowI was useless at Geography (admittedly we only did Glaciated highlands and the Borneo Sumba) and have had the Journeys of Frodo at hand for a couple of days now....so I resort to UT...expand it further and try Rhovanion.

You're overcomplicating it, Mith. You don't need any of these, including good geography knowledge (I'm not that good at it either). The answer was mentioned in passing, though you probably didn't realize it.

This is the biggest clue I can give.

*whimpers*......... ok Reads through. No help. Back to basics. Is the place East of the Misty Mountains (longitude)?

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...
Visited by a fellowship member - yes
Rohan - no

East of the Misty Mtns - yesno. Part of it is, but the other part isn't.



Edit: The name is clearly printed on this map, and that's saying something, considering the quality of the image...

Not in Middle Earth but just Middle Earth? Only thing that has been refered to in passing that I can see?

Just ME it is! :D Quite a big place, isn't it? ;)

I'm sorry for choosing this unordinary thing, but I just couldn't resist it!

I was getting to the point that I might have had to hunt you down and kill you!! :p Simple and tricksy too baffling. Right... well I'll give you a clue in return for all teh clues. It ISN'T a place!

I should never let a quiz game ruin my life like that again. ;)

Thank you!

Is it alive?

Quiz's awaken a normally dormant competitive streak.

Not alive, no

Is it a manufactured object?

Yes

Is it made by an Elf?

No

Made by a Dwarf, then?

Not made by a dwarf

Not a weapon.

No not made by a bad person or thing.

Hobbit - no

Just had a random association when I read the last answers - is it the Ulumuri?

Um I guess not because I can't for the life of me think what that is (so kudos for that). I'll goggle it and get back to you.

Ulumuri are Ulmo's horns that were made by a maia Salmar....

Is it made by a maia?

THat is what goggle told me too.... yes it was.

Was it made by one of the Istari, then?

Yes it was.

It's not Saruman's Ring, erm, ring, by any chance?

It isn't I'm afraid.

Gandalf's fireworks, then?

Nope

Mith, are you trying to get revenge on me? ;)

Was it made in the 3rd age?

No but I think you are over thinking this. If you continue to struggle there are a couple of points raised I could comment on which might help but I dont' think I have been misleading in my answers. It is third age.
