I think Manardariel just got into too much of a hurry and messed-up. We'll see when she gets back.

Sorry!! I thought Elendil never was a king...my bad! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Oh, and anyone can go! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

<font color=black>Manardariel is crazy! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

How about:

Which one was not of the race of men?

a) Alcarin
b) Eärnil II
c) Amras
d) Sador

Amras was a Son of Feanor

HEY! I saw that! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Sorry Manardariel! I was wondering if anyone would notice my secret writing, I tried to make it somewhat obvious! That is O.K. We are all crazy here! Weeee! Don't worry, I have made many worse mistakes than that! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

which was not breed by Melkor?

A) Balrogs
B) Spiders
C) Kraken
D) B and C

Answer E) none of the above

Well, I guess you could say B, because normal Spiders were already there, and Melkor only kind of "perfected" (well) them, making them bigger and stuff.

Erm actually Earwen is right

well manardiel was right becasue Balrog spririts came to Melkor and they were created and Melkor did create Krakens but not many, one of them was the watcher in the waters

Encyclpodia of Arda:

Quote:

These small eight-legged creatures, known for capturing their prey in intricate webs, were evidently as common in Middle-earth as they are today. Characters in The Lord of the Rings often refer to them descriptively, whether it be Gandalf discussing his capture by Saruman (quoted above), Sam climbing ropes across the Silverlode, or Gollum clambering down a rock wall.

There was a more sinister side to the spiders of Middle-earth, though, that entered it with the monstrous Ungoliant in the years before the First Age. A gigantic creature of spider-shape, it was she who destroyed the Two Trees of Valinor, and escaped with Melkor into the lands of Middle-earth. Though Ungoliant herself disappeared into the far south, she left the northern lands infested with her offspring. During the First Age, the mountains of the Ered Gorgoroth were infested with these monsters, and became a place of dread.

The most famous of Ungoliant's children, though, lived far to the south and east of the Ered Gorgoroth, on the borders of the land of Mordor. This was Shelob, who haunted a network of tunnels watching the pass of Cirith Ungol, eking a living on the hapless Orcs of Sauron. She had offspring of her own, too, smaller than she but with a cruel intelligence, that spread throughout the Ephel Dúath and north into Mirkwood. It was creatures like these that Bilbo encountered in The Hobbit, and through fighting them that his sword acquired its name Sting.

Quote:

The Balrogs originated as Maiar, beings of the same kind as Sauron himself. They were primordial spirits of fire that had allied themselves with Melkor in ancient times, and became the most feared of his servants, especially during the Wars of Beleriand in the First Age. Details of their numbers are hard to state with certainty, but there seem to have been relatively few of them - probably no more than seven.

Quote:

The Balrogs were in origin Maiar, of the same order as Sauron or Gandalf. Melkor corrupted them to his service in the distant past of the World, in the days of his splendour. They were originally gathered by him in his ancient fastness of Utumno during the time of the Lamps of the Valar. When this fortress was destroyed by the Valar, at least some fled and lurked in the pits of Angband (whether any of the original Balrogs were slain in the Valar's attack on Utumno is not known).

Quote:

A mysterious and horrific beast that lurked in the swollen waters of the Sirannon, beneath the western walls of Moria.

Erm. He didn't breed any of those [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

I'm with elven maiden Earwen on this. Melkor bred none of those creatures.

I´m sorry, Earwen! I really WAS only guessing. You can go, I really don´t mind! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

D)Raven ?

Yes, exactly! You´re up, Arwen!

Which one is NOT a boundry?

a) River Rivil
b) River Adorn
c) River Sirith
d) River Running

River Runnign me thinks, it just goes starghit trough Rovanion and when i was reading the Tolkien Beasteriry, it says that Melkor created many creatures such as the Kraken and transformed maiar into Balrogs

Nope! The Running was a great river that formed the eastern boundary of Rhovanion.

Answer (a), the River Rivil, which runs through Dorthonion, but forms no boundary.
