Horror of horrors...
 
...and I forgot a thread again. So sorry, Ms Luthien!
And now to business: What road crosses the Odothui?

Elessar 01-20-2005 06:07 PM

the andrath greenway?

Lindolirian 01-21-2005 03:19 PM

The Greenway will do. Proceed!

Nilpaurion Felagund 01-31-2005 01:49 AM

10 days rule!
 
Name all passes from the North into Beleriand.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 01-31-2005 04:06 AM

Passes proper? Or all entrances?
 
As far as named passes, here is what I have:

Pass of Aglon, Pass of Anach, Pass of Sirion.

Also possibly elligible:

Maglor's gap

Less possibly elligible:

Cirith Ninniach, Annon in Gelydh?

I spend far too little time sleeping. :rolleyes:

Nilpaurion Felagund 01-31-2005 10:37 PM

The first four are correct.
 
The thread is yours, Sophia. ;)

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-01-2005 12:51 PM

An easy one
 
Thanks. There are some bits that I've never been sure whether they're part of Beleriand proper, or too far north. Like Nevrast. ;)

Anyway, on to the next question.

Name the north and south coastal plains of Aman.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-02-2005 06:46 PM

Can I answer?
 
Araman and Avathar, respectively.

I think . . .

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-03-2005 07:35 PM

*nods*
 
quite correct.

S.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-03-2005 10:34 PM

Danke!
 
Which rivers named in Lord of the Rings do not lead to Belegaer (the Sea)?

Gil-Galad 02-04-2005 05:07 PM

ooh/...... River Running?

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-06-2005 07:03 PM

That's correct, Gil . . .
 
. . . but there's another one. :p ;)

Lindolirian 02-07-2005 07:10 AM

Hmmm... the Redwater?
 
River Carnen or something like that, I can't remember exactly.

luthien-elvenprincess 02-07-2005 08:10 AM

Also the Forest River.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-07-2005 09:13 PM

Three correct answers from three people.
 
What's the verdict on this?

Guilty. Put 'em on the chair.

Not that kind of verdict. Who do I give the thread to?

Lindolirian 02-08-2005 02:33 PM

Technically luthien knew all three answers before Gil or I did because she could have just copied and pasted ours into her post (since they were already there), thus having all three right. So I'd say her.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-08-2005 09:55 PM

Our jury says:
 
luthien, it's yours. :)

luthien-elvenprincess 02-09-2005 09:47 AM

Thanks! Ya know...it's a lot funner answering these questions rather than thinking the up! :)

Wellinghall was located on what mountain range, also which specific mountain peak?

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-10-2005 06:31 PM

Hithaegilr? Methedras?

luthien-elvenprincess 02-11-2005 01:49 PM

Yes, those answers are correct :)

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-13-2005 05:56 PM

Thanks!
 
If travelling from Minas Tirith to Fornost, how many rivers must you cross--assuming you follow the road.

Lindolirian 02-13-2005 05:59 PM

4
 
Glanhir, Snowbourne, Isen, and Gwathlo.

Lindolirian 02-13-2005 07:09 PM

On the subject of rivers...
 
What do the Rushdown and Langflood combine into?

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-13-2005 08:09 PM

Langflood?
 
I dunno what Rushdown is, but Langflood flows into Anduin.

Lindolirian 02-13-2005 08:12 PM

Good work.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-13-2005 08:22 PM

Thanks.
 
What is the boundary of Thranduil's kingdom and Celeborn's (in Eryn Lasgalen).

Lindolirian 02-13-2005 08:26 PM

Thranduil's border was the mountains, while Celeborn's was the Narrows with the forest in between belonging to the Beornings.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-13-2005 08:43 PM

Capital.

Lindolirian 02-13-2005 08:53 PM

What geographical feature divides the Lunoronti?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-17-2005 03:12 PM

Lunoronti => Ered Luin?
 
Which would therefore be divided by the Gulf of Lhun?

Lindolirian 02-17-2005 03:16 PM

Bravissimo!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-17-2005 11:10 PM

Nice question Lindo
 
Now for a new one. And straightforward it is.

Which rivers did Aragorn & co. have to cross between Dunharrow and Pelargir?

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-18-2005 12:26 AM

4?
 
Morthond, Ciril, Ringlo and Gilrain/Serni.

I did not include Sirith, as it flows through Pelargir.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-18-2005 01:51 AM

Yes, indeedy.

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-21-2005 10:13 PM

Thnaks! [sic]
 
Which major region of Andor had the shortest coastline?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-22-2005 02:58 AM

Mittalmar- which only had just a smidgen around Romenna.

Unless Emerie is considered a major region, in that case, it has none at all.

Researching Sailorhood?! :D ;)

Nilpaurion Felagund 02-24-2005 01:07 AM

Hehe.
 
Mittalmar is correct!

And yes, I am. Mindreading again? :D ;)

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 02-24-2005 01:50 AM

Of course, I'm a psychic
 
Anyway.

Please provide for me three names of havens in Eriador.

NightKnight 02-24-2005 02:00 AM

Harlond, Forlond and Lond Daer?
