not at all, close though...think behind helms deep

I thought the stream in Aglarond would be the same as the one that flows out of Helm's Deep, but if that's not it, I believe you have me.

oh wow thats a first...its actually really easy...

Is it the Deeping-stream?

But the Deeping-stream is the same river Lindo's been talking about.

(But, I don't think there are any other rivers that fit the criteria.)

as i said: behind Helms Deep

Another hint, maybe?

its a river in West Rohan

The only other river in Rohan I can find is the Adorn - but it's not really behind Helm's Deep or east of the Isen... it's more south of it.

Are you speaking of The Deeping Stream?

Is it the Swanfleet?

it is the swanfleet! good job!

Gil-Galad, I'm a little confused. What did you mean when you gave a hint that it was behind Helm's Deep? And it flows into the Greyflood; how is it closer to the Isen than the others? :(

Sorry - but you are wrong in thinking the Swanfleet is a river in West Rohan, or in Rohan, at all. Neither is it east of the Isen - it's west of the Isen's source and north of the Isen itself as it flows to the sea.

Swanfleet is the name given to the River Glanduin where it flows through the fens just northeast of Tharbad. The Sirannon (Gate Stream) that flowed from Khazad-dum was a tributary of the Glanduin.

Eregion bordered these two rivers on the north, and Dunland bordered them on the south.

They do not flow in Rohan.

The Deeping Stream, on the other hand, ran around the base of Helm's Deep on the south and east sides:

You can also investigate the Rohan rivers by looking at The Atlas of Middle-earth; pg: 88 - 89. And the Deeping Stream in the same Atlas, pg. 132 - 133.


HERE is a map you can use to look at the locations of the various rivers. You can click on it to enlarge it.

I think I may have found the misconception. The map that pio has just given us the link to and the map I consulted myself have different names for the same river. My map, one of those bookmarks that fold out into a map that were released by New Line, gives the name of swanfleet for the river. While the map that pio has just linked for us has given the name of Adorn for the same river. The map in ROTK also has the name of Adorn for the river.

Either the map that I, and apparantly Gil-Galad consulted are incorrect, or this is another reason which I am to tired to think of now.

I believe that the person who initially answered Adorn should go next, owing to the fact that we were talking about the same river.

hmm....strange...after i looked at the map in my ROTk, it is indeed the Adorn, but my big wall map of middle earth says it was the Swanfleet(i was using that map), so anyways it is the Adorn! whoever said Adorn can go next!


*Again somebody has given me a bad rep for no reason at all!!! i'm getting sick and tired of this...*

I guess that's me.

List four locations where a red sun was seen in LotR.

Anyone? How about three locations?

Rohan...Minas Tirith...and...umm...Fangorn?

Rohan - good.
Minas Tirith and Fangorn - if you can give me a quote I'll give it to you, but neither of those were places I had in mind.

I recently found the Minas Tirith reference, coincidentally, so only one more location would be needed...

Haha!
 

Rohan, Minas Tirith, and the Crossroads.

That'll do!

Other places I had were Mordor and the Barrow-downs.

Thanks!
 

Where is Sauron's Isle by the end of the Third Age?

Long-since drowned by the Great Sea in the War of Wrath.

Of course.
 

Your thread. :)

Where was the Land of Bow and Helm?

Dor Cúarthol.
 

It's south of the Forest of Brethil, west of Doriath, east of Narog, and north of Nargothrond.

Perfecto.

Sorry about this.
 

Name the region in Aman south of the Bay of Eldamar.

Avathar.

That's it.
 

Take it. :)

Name three Middle-earth mountain ranges named for colors.

The Blue Mountains, the Grey Mountains, and the White Mountains.

Yep. Your turn.

Thanks!
 

In which mountain range does Rerir belong to?

Ered Luin does it not?

Yep.
 

Your thread. :)

*bump*
 

Gil-galad?

To bring this back up, what is Soronumë?
